While we wait... Show off your great artisanship that has gone into your Avatar!

Art? What?

Mine is me, well holo-me, which looks a lot like real me, btw. I was impressed with the algorithm that can find a face and attach a smile so used it and here it is. In other places I have a picture of those rhino cops from docter who.
 
Pretty sure everybody knows my avatar, but if not...

I know what you're thinking, but you're probably wrong... there actually is a very carefully crafted face under there, but so few have ever seen it. Speculation is rampant, rumors are even encouraged.
 
It has nothing to do with ED but Ive been useing this for years now, dont even remember the orignal, I know it was bigger and I love good graffti art.

Sort of reminds me of a younger me (wrong sex but hey) as I used to walk about with Huge headphones for years, which is ironic as now it seems to be fashionable to do that, and Im useing in the earbuds....

I shall let those with more ED themes take the stage ;)

Ohh this is one I used to use for other games and its my own.

I hate earbuds, they just get full of wax. [mad]

A great deal of artistic talent went into my avatar, by someone at deviantart. And I am grateful to them for it. My favorite avatar ever.

Since I came here on the forums I agree that's your best.
 
In my case my avatar is just a screenshot of the nine tailed fox Kurama when he was very young and Harogomo was still alive. Featured in the anime Naruto.

I'd wondered what that was when seeing other posts, I mistakenly thought it was an evolved form of Evie from Pokemon!
 
My avatar is a character from the third time I played Morrowind, Eldorf Dragonmeal (also known as Eldorf The Wise). I just happened to like the pose. The staff is normally a two-handed weapon but I managed to mod it into a single hand item just for poses like this. FYI, this is the only screen shot I ever took that has a title: Dare to bring light into dark places.

Blatant plug: http://eldorf.tripod.com/index.html Two years and nine months to complete. Also added Oblivion shortly after Morrowind was finished.

Oh, on the subject of holo me, mine is unbelievably my exact spitting image, if you see me in the game, that IS what I look like in real life. It took only 4 randomisations and bam, there I was staring at myself open mouthed thinking 'how the....?'

Mine is fairly close too. A spitting image, no. But but close. Perhaps people should post their holo me characters as well as their avatars! We can then link in game persona with their out game persona.

Thanks for your posts! Made for some entertaining reading this morning!


Simple one for me, it's the logo I use for my work, my Steampunk stuff, games, facebook... you name it.

Drew the original version of it some 20+ years ago and used it ever since! Chose the wolfs head as my real name is 'Fenris' and as some will already know, Fenris is a wolf from Norse Mythology. I've had 3D animated versions, Flash animated ones, wireframe, just about everything.

http://www.fenris.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/wolfshead-various.jpg

I like your avatar and as someone else pointed out, being called Fenris by your parents was curious! :O Although, I suspect that got changed to a certain male body part during high school... Parents come up with the strangest ideas some times, not necessarily your name, I've heard some really daft ones though that beg belief. One of my cousins called their son (born on my birthday funnily enough) Arthur Stanbridge... Which no doubt will be immortalised as the boy with Arfa Sandwich...

As others have said before me, I'll get my coat (will be needed too, it's snowing outside).


Mine is how i feel in a morning :)

LoL me too! I'm really not a morning person and I don't react well before my cup of tea.


Oh wait, you mean forum avatar?

Well mine is a piece of H.R.Giger artwork for a film called "Future Kill".

https://i.imgur.com/R8fmezS.jpg

It's a cool bit of artwork! I can understand why you picked it!


This. Makes screenies so much cooler. Just a hair more fidelity and I'd begin posting my cockpit shots to instagram with no one the wiser!

Obligatory on-topic post: I chose mine because our saying for dealing with change in the military used to be: "Be flexible, if not totally rubberized." Everytime I look at my avatar, I hear Eddie Murphy's voice in the old SNL days. And because I'm old and figure most others won't get the reference any more. Adds to my air of mystery...

LoL

I don't know where it came from or what I put into google to find it, but this avatar suits me well.

https://i.imgur.com/TjOZ8sf.jpg

That.... Is just weird.... [yesnod]


Your folks called you Fenris? ... That's so cool.. :O

Found cute pupper on Imgur.
Spent an hour trying to make it's overall file size smaller.
Saved.

It works well and I like it! :cool:


Mine is a very cropped shot of me flying my Phantom 15m Kite on a hill somewhere in Wiltshire many moons ago....

https://i.imgur.com/yY5EZn3.jpg

Would have been good to see the avatar as well as the original picture...


Mine is (obviously) my holo-me, but it took a lot of trail and error to get the lighting and focus right, and also to get him looking like he's looking at you:

https://media.discordapp.net/attach...952/HighResScreenShot_2017-06-09_20-41-38.png

It's very... Suitably gritty. The red face paint actually is very effective!


googled sci-fi pilot, photoshoped a blue-white in the background, then added the emblems of the best player group in the galaxy

Neat! It works well.

Mine is one of my artworks from a couple of years ago when I used to be known as Freebird until I locked the account .... oooops.

I had to start a new account but kept the same avatar.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GOr5sAIsr7Y/VkOvkoE7uzI/AAAAAAAAIPs/Bql_bchkWKM/s320/img001.jpg

I like it. Nice to see someone using their own artwork! How did you lock your account? Just curious :)


I've been the ostrich you see on the left for many, many years, going as far back as when it still wasn't one of the first images to pop up by typing "ostrich" on Google...I think I choose it back at the time because it just represents me: ugly as a russian winter, bad tempered, makes strange noises, can't really say if real stupid or pretend to be (odds are all on the first anyway), solves problems by either kicking them really hard or running away, sometimes both. :D

Always many years ago, he gained its current Borg attire: word has it that it was just a quick Photoshop disguise to distinguish himself from the thousand clones roaming around the web, but the real truth lies elsewere.
He was at Wolf 359. He saw things.

A borg Ostrich... Nope. I think I can safely say I wouldn't have thought of that...


Mine is a space ship from a Norwegian children's show, called 'Kometkameratene' (the comet comrades).

Ship and crew below:

Now that I do like! Must be my CareBear side showing... :p


I would, if I had an avatar. I will one day. And on that day, I will go into great detail describing the story behind it.

Will we get to see it before the Q4 patch? :)


I've just updated my name and avatar because Final Fantasy VII was one of the best games I played in the early days. Now there's FFXV coming to PC in March so really looking forward to getting that. I'm now Cloud Strife - which seems a more appropriate name for ED. Just got to see if I can change my account name in ED to reflect this.

https://i.imgur.com/vzlYK2n.jpg

CS.

That sword is ridiculously large LoL [haha] I guess anime just isn't my thing. Thanks for sharing it with us though.


I made mine during a long haul to Sag A* with a class 3 fuel scoop and 24Ly jumprange pre-2.1. Scooping, because it's what I spent a long time doing!

Never felt like changing it.

Why only a class 3 scoop? What did you put in the size 5 and 6 slots instead?


Mine is the loading screen from the first (and best) version of Elite, the BBC Model B version.

I do so miss Acornsoft :'(

I cut my teeth on it too. I was inspired to learn Assembler code on my machine, and wrote my own version of a game that had swirling lines and you had a cursor that you used to capture segments of the screen without being hit by the swirling lines or bombs that travelled along your lines.

It was similar to this game. https://youtu.be/nCH9edA4Gdw


Mine's quite subtle...

Ummm. A little too subtle...


Art? What?

Mine is me, well holo-me, which looks a lot like real me, btw. I was impressed with the algorithm that can find a face and attach a smile so used it and here it is. In other places I have a picture of those rhino cops from docter who.

A rose across the galaxy.

I'll have to take another look at holo me... What is this feature you speak of?


Pretty sure everybody knows my avatar, but if not...

No doubt you are a Borg. Speculation is futile, you will be assimulated.


In my case my avatar is just a screenshot of the nine tailed fox Kurama when he was very young and Harogomo was still alive. Featured in the anime Naruto.

Nine tailed fox huh... I suspect there are some curious things you can do with all those tails... [haha]


My avatar is a character from the third time I played Morrowind, Eldorf Dragonmeal (also known as Eldorf The Wise). I just happened to like the pose.

I like the character! Cool.

I'd like to see some more of the weirdest and more interesting ones! Keep them coming!

Mine is also very similar to my real life appearance except for my beard which is about 8" longer though still a goatee.

I like your avatar and as someone else pointed out, being called Fenris by your parents was curious! :O

Not really, my family have Scandinavian ancestors and there have been at least one in each generation with a name linked to the Norse Mythology, my grandfather's middlename was Tyr!


Although, I suspect that got changed to a certain male body part during high school...

Totally confused me here! Why would it get changed to anything? And really puzzled as to what you think it may have been changed to??

At school I was known as 'Fen' or 'Oz' due to my surname.


Parents come up with the strangest ideas some times, not necessarily your name, I've heard some really daft ones though that beg belief.

Agree with you there... I went school with a Teresa Green!
