I have a minature set of his prints, and if you subscribe you get notifications when there is another limited run on.
A close buddy has one of the large prints.
Set him back a penny.

I used to have an Imperial Eagle but now I have this blue thing because I lack creativity!

I carefully chose my avatar to be the perfect representation of the abyss in which lurks all those nasty things mentioned in many stories from H.P. Lovecraft. Or a symbol of my own laziness...

Had mine a long time, and reminds me of something from childhood.

Welcome back Mr. Claypole

 

[GunnerBill]

it was my car........ i need to change it but cant bring myself to put a 308 or a qashqai on there

A full nappy would probably be more apt for what i do in my spare time now

You shouldn't be ashamed of owning a Ferrari!

I've had this avatar for a very long time on pretty much every forum I'm on!

Avatars are us

 

[Chris Simon]

My avatar was very dear to me. I raised it from the cub and it was with me my whole youth.
Then they stole it from me.

So I just screeched this on to the monitor with a chalk.
In comic sans.
To annoy people.

Coincidence - and stubbornness.

When I made the forum account, I was reading Mary Gentle's book and decided to take the main protagonist's name for the forum. Since support, some time later, was nice enough to change my (boring) original commander name to my forum name, I decided to make an avatar. Found a suitable image on a russian free gif site[1] and added the inscription.

[1]A bit risky, I know. Therefore, did the extraction and image conversion on a Linux VM.

I drew it to match my forum handle, a hellborne version of the Elite hawk icon.

It was either that or a unicursal hexagram.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law

Thanks, you just inspired me for my new avatar!

I have two avatars. Am I cheating the system? [big grin]

I use to have a starburst swirling avatar, friend of mine a decade ago made it. I thought it was really neat with the odd blade effect it had. [smile]

 

[Kazacy]

I use my character from EVE; it should be good because in EVE i payed a fully fitted battlecruiser to the the guy who create this

[Rad Bard]

Really enjoyed reading this and the reasons behind the Avatars....

Mine is a simple Ego trip, it's me, from a film I'm in.

think I'll change it soon.

 

[Bomba Luigi]

We need to shadowban Brett for cheating

 

[David Aaron]

Mine was the greatest toy a space loving 5 yr. old could possibly have in 1967, I actually agreed to get my tonsils removed to get the whole set. Ahh memories.

I used my mouse

 

[Eldrazzi]

Mine is the wing/nose art for my ship the "Daydrinker", that is if wing/nose art ever becomes a thing. Which is unlikely.

 

[deMangler]

I change my avatar every few months.

This one was generated thanks to this: http://www.michaelowencarroll.com/judgebadge.htm

Dang, its probably time for me to change again...

Doesn't matter what avatar you have, I will always see Mick Fleetwood. Burned into my retinas.
Probably nobody will understand this....
