What is the Reason for Your Avatar?

Who cares if this is a total ripoff of all similar topics on all other sites? I'm going to make one here too.

So, what is the reason for your avatar?

Mine looks cool.

And he's my RPG character.

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Well, sort of. To both of your sentences.

Mine is that ubiquitous Codrex Magna banner...

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Ubiquitous?

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Aw, come on, you see it every time you or I make a post.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Well, true.

~A~

I am actually in need of a new avatar. Originally, I used a silver Kanohi Rua, but Mo didn't think that was "Spectral" enough. He then gave me this cool new one.

However, I have long wished it was purple, not blue...

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

It would look pretty spoofin if it was purple.

~A~

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

I'll ask Mo about making it purple. In the meantime, I suggest you try out Malefactor.

Head Librarian & Game Master Posts : 3659

"Malefactor?" What does that even mean?

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

MALEFACTOR.

-|W|G|-

Head Librarian & Game Master Posts : 3659

Oh, good, I thought you were saying I'm feminin. .

Meanwhile, that's a lot like what my old avie looked like, except without the eyes. Wally and Mo had the curtesy to through that together for me.

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

But Malefactor looks COOL~~ER than your current avatar.~~

But I like the red eyes. I'm going to use it as my avatar now...

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Indeed.

I shall remain unchanged.

...

Again.

Or not.

GET ME THAT CATWOMAN AVATAR

I love LotR. That's reason enough, isn't it?
By the way Spectral, it wouldn't be very difficult to simply color your image purple. I would be happy to give it a try if you send me the original picture. I need practice with my photo editing.

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

And yes, I figured you liked Lord of the Rings.

You're welcome to take a crack at it, Olorin, but I don't have the original, I think. Talk to Trakvan... I've never been good with images...

Iron Tribe Plague Posts : 144

I actually meant the one you are using right now. How can you not have it if you're using it?

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Spectral is having computer troubles or something right now.

~A~

Head Librarian & Game Master Posts : 3659

You know the box where the adress for the image usually goes? That box is blank. Also, I can't copy and paste it into a text box, and this site won't let me highlight it. That leaves saving the image on my computer, and then I can't upload it without getting a little box with a red 'X' in it in place of the image itself.

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Morgoth: Yep, that's a good enough reason.

Oh, and Spectral's avatar can be found here:
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/generaltrakvan/Avatars/specter.jpg

Spectral and Morgoth: I believe Spectral put in the URL for the image, but his computer subsequently hasn't let him see what it is, besides the uploading problems. (Plus, I actually own the image, but who cares, Spectral can use it and so can Morgoth.

)

Iron Tribe Plague Posts : 144

Spectral: I finished it. I'm just not sure how you want me to send it to you.

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

If I may interject something (insert apologetic grin here): you could upload it to Codrex Magna's gallery, Morgoth, either into the existing public category or into your own folder.

-|W|G|-

Iron Tribe Plague Posts : 144

Sure. Thanks for the tip.
EDIT: Spectral, I added the image to my personal gallery. You can see it here.

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

You're welcome. Smile

Anyway, the reason for my current avatar... I guess I just like the look of it.

It also fits the Dark Republic of Wall pretty well.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

So, mine's The Ancient Minister from Brawl.
I suppose that's fitting enough.

~A~

Relict Antihero Posts : 206

For you, I suppose, yes.

Mine is, of course, the Ki Nui, in a color that is more fitting for myself.

=|/-\|=

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

It is a very nice avatar, I must say.

~A~

Relict Antihero Posts : 206

Thank you.

And that's also why I put it in the avatar gallery for general use.

=|/-\|=

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

SO!
Mine's a ~~red shirt~~ ~~soon to be~~ regularly colored version of Cryomancer.

Yeah.

Woot.

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

So head over to the Bizarre Bazaar already and get yourself the proper-colored one.

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

WALLY WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Lol.

Uh... it's funny?

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Uh... Actually, you're right. Whats with "Maybe Not", though?

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Well, sort of.

It's kind of weird.

And that's a topic for the display name topic, I think...

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

But of course.

And ya know, this could be, like, Arty's evil twin.

Except he needs a twirly mustache and BLACK hair, and a BLACK jacket, and a red shirt.
Then you'd have it down.
But this looks good for a parody Arty.

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Yeah, it's a parody, not completely opposite.

And wait, wouldn't that be a dark orange shirt...?

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Hmm, I suppose it would be.

Wally knows the color wheel better than I.

But Ra knows it the BEST.

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

(Yo Wally, Imma really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but Ra knew the color wheel the best of ALL TIME)

By the way, your avatar was actually harder to make cyan than I expected. I had to use some special computer brush tool to get it right.

Oh yeah, and that reminds me that another reason I took this avatar is that I finally got both the goatee and the white suit in the same image.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Well, in any case, it looks good.

And of course, I suppose the mandatory evil red eyes were no problem, even if the suit was?

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Not particularly. You probably remember the red Makuta-eyes that Mo used to paste on everything, and these are just brightened and smudged versions of those.

-|W|G|-

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

Well, they look good all the same.

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Well, thank you. They hardly look like glasses anymore, though.

My avatar is a clip from one of the Flash movies I made for the MNOLG sequel
Nuprau = Engineer,
I = Engineer
(well someday, Junior in College for Engineering)

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

My avatar is the Sburb Logo, relating back to the Sburb conversation me and Wally had.

YEAH WOO.

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Wait, how did I miss this.

Nuparu: That's actually a backstory that makes sense.

Cool profession.

AK: Heh.

And mine is the Sgrub logo. It's actually sort of weirder than the normal Sburb logo.

-|W|G|-

Matoran Universe Created Posts : 536

My avatar? This.

Raphael is a bat-****** crazy sarcastic pretentious aristocratic French vampire. What is there not to like?

Also about five of my friends are conviced his character was based of me... not sure how to take that.

-Sykura

The Cold Mage Posts : 5869

~~he gets drunk and then goes on the internet a lot?~~

Very nice, it sorta looks like it could fit you.

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Sykura, do not bypass filtering.

Anyway, it could sort of fit you. The head's too pale though.
