Avatars...

[MusicallyInspired]

Well, Spikey started a thread about nicknames, I thought I'd start one about avatars. We had a thread like this way back I think, but times change and so do avatars and I'd like to know the story behind others' avatars here nowadays...

Mine is of my favourite composer, guitarist, musician, virtuoso and initial inspiration Mike Oldfield. In this pic he's playing at his Tubular Bells II concert in Edinburgh in 1992. I think it best depicts his style and passion for the music he plays.

So what about you?

[Spikey]

This avatar is the unit Geoffrey (JP: Geoffray) from Fire Emblem IX: Path of Radiance by Nintendo, for the Gamecube. I'm a big Fire Emblem fan.

[Angelus3K]

Mine is of my favourite little Doggy Hank "The Tank" Brimhall!!!

My sig pics usually have my fave films in it such as Spiderman, Terminator and most often Neo from the Matrix.

Before Hank I had had a pic of Angelus.

[Broomie]

Well I've changed it to the Black Holes and Revelations album cover from Muse, yet that crazy doctor was from Robot Chicken.

[Quest For Glory Fan]

Quest For Glory Fan (as discussed in the other thread) has the Quest For Glory Hero.... I was thinking of making a "Currently playing:" sig but when I signed in to do it Angelus just put his own up and I didn't want to be a copier haha.

[Brainiac]

Yeah, I remember an old discussion about the nature of our avatars.  Anyways, mine has always been the Glide Spell icon from Quest for Glory V: Dragon Fire.  That's right, the spell was initially coded into the game; it was disabled later in development.  I use it because it reflects my desire to always get the most out of my games, my perfectionist nature, and my passion for mythology (c'mon, you can't tell me winged feet doesn't make you think of certain Greek myths).

Mine is the pic from "Green Phantom King", a card from the original booster pack of the YuGiOh! TCG. Although it's completely useless in the actual game, it is one of the (now) few cards that actually has flavor text... I also use it as my signature card/good luck charm, when I play competetively.

[Bump on a Log]

Well mine, along with my name, are pretty self explanitary .  I thought since I was going to sign up on a Kings Quest site, I should have a somewhat original Kings Quest related name and Avatar.

The Stick-in-the-Mud and Bump-on-a-Log scene in KQ VI is probably my favorite part of the whole series, and you gotta love the picture of Bump-on-a-Log throwing Rotten-Tomato

[Fribbi]

I can't explain about my odd avatars images because I never use the same avatar image months after months. But maybe that will explain for you why I am always not normal here around.

[AsianMusicGuy]

[Omega Supreme]

Mine's pretty self-explanatory, it's Omega Supreme from the old Transformers show.  I always loved that cartoon!

[The Avatar]

Hmm.. My Avatar....  <looks>

Yeah, that's a picture of me.  I actually took that on my birthday, in June of 2002 I believe.  I was dressed up like Robin Hood, for a fun dinner at Medieval Times.  I hope to get a new picture soon to better represent who I am today.  4 years ago won't cut it anymore, i need a new pic!

[Blackthorne519]

My avatar is The Hero from QFG1, painted to look like The Villain from QFI!

[FatherGhostface]

I made mine myself using an animating program. It's nothing that cool.
