[BertramCooper]

Okay, I lied.

I did have one of those outlined NBA avatars a few years ago. I think it was Mo Williams. I'll be damned if I can find it anywhere, though.

I think that was it. I don't like switching. I don't like it when people switch their avatars and I can't recognize them right away, so I've tried to keep my own consistent.

Meant to ask you in your thread - what's the origin of this image? Some creepypasta?

TBH I don't know the origin. I was so bitter Ev took away my animated avatar that I found the creepiest SFW avatar available on Google Image search lol.

 

[Sylver]

nvm.

 

[LakeEarth]

Mostly known for:

Not that I made it or anything. Others:

Haha, good man.

It just reminds me of stuff like Smile Dog:

 

[Riposte]

Just one baby. Will never change it. Changing avatars for every game/occasion is scrubby.

[OnkelC]

 

[Sobriquet]

The Dude:

Cat Power (Chan Marshall):

Roland Deschain/Dark Tower (changed when I saw another GAFer with a near-identical one):

Me, from Real Pic January:

And now Dignan from Bottle Rocket:

 

[CHEEZMO™]

My first avatar and my only animated one was an avatar version of this

<--- I had a Christmas version of this but couldn't find it.

I'm missing a pony one I had for about a day, but other than that I believe this is everything.

Had to go track half of these down from memory X_X

 

[zlatko]

My history is massive haha. I love swapping avatars, but here is a few I've used:

The one I think I used the most though was:

Can't find the original size for it though. That's only a fraction of the ones I've used though. More in the future. Can't wait for whatever I end up for D3 next month. I'll probably snatch something OP makes for the OT for it that is Monk related.

3. Donald Duck!

It's so hard to get a feel for what you're "in to" with your avatar history lol.

 

[Zomba13]

(and two game related variations)

(And some game related variations)

Then a different Real pic that I can't find
Then me in a Luchador Mask
Then the Tence version of that which I can't find either
Then Lissar's Summoner version of my current Avatar (I have the pic but not avatar sized)
Then back to my current one.

 

[Semblance]

At one point I also had a bunch of revolving avatars of the same girl, somewhere around 30 I think. These are the main ones I've used though.

 

[noah111]

Logical transition there. :lol

 

[jett]

Some of the avatars I've had

Ryu from Breath Of Fire IV! The oldest avatar I remember using on gaming-age

Yun and Yang in LEGO form! I used this one the most until the Joker.

Yun and Yang from Capcom Vs. SNK 2

Dat Buckethead

Boom

A shot from Inception

Clu from Tron Legacy

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. Took me a while to get right, soon after animated gifs were banned. :|

Lawrence of Arabia, one of my favorite movies.

 

[PigSpeakers]

Meant to ask you in your thread - what's the origin of this image? Some creepypasta?

I think it's a heavily photoshopped version of this girl who has no chin that 4chan was obsessed with for awhile.

Here are my avatars:

PigSpeakers v1. Also the origin of my name. The thing in the picture is an upside-down, and backwards Sony speaker I bought that looked like a pig when you turned it that way.

Dino Avatar. This is the first avatar trend I went with. I thought it was kind of fun.

Bought Inchworm animation on my 3DS, then I drew this (I liked drawing weird or creepy stuff), and my current avatar was born. I can't for the life of me redraw it.

Real me. SEXY SEX.

Halloween PigSpeakers.

 

[DrForester]

Occasional Avatars:

Who is the girl in the glasses?

 

[HomShaBom]

You're looking at it.

 

[Giard]

Had this one since I first joined GAF in 2005...it's the Mantis in The Unholy War:

Christmas variation:

I changed it in 2011 (I think) to the one I currently have. It has an awesome Christmas variation, but it's on my laptop that's being fixed.

 

[Plywood]

First it began:

Then they changed on a rotator(wait for it):

Note: some are missing.

PossumGAF changed it all:

Then this happened:

In between that mess was this:

Finally:

 

[Aguirre]

used these two for about a week

i love my own, i use it on every forum/profile i have, wouldn't change.

here's hi res of my own:

 

[Typographenia]

I changed the inner circle on mine to orange for Portal 2. And a santa hat at Christmas.

I'm not very good at this. : (

 

[Chinner]

< - only ever had this.

 

[VeryGooster]

I don't really have all my avatars stored away and this is what I think my avatar order has been:

Unless I find a funnier pic of the Kacho, I think this one is here to stay.

 

[Narag]

Edit: I suppose I found the missing ones on a photobucket I didn't realize I had.

I never realized I had so many.

 

[impact]

 

[Xun]

I'm not entirely sure, but I think I've had all of these. Maybe more?

 

[Like2Drive]

I've only had one before this, it was of a pixel-sh face.

Bought Inchworm animation on my 3DS, then I drew this (I liked drawing weird or creepy stuff), and my current avatar was born. I can't for the life of me redraw it.

Lol, I've always like that avatar of yours. It could be made into some freakish ass mask.

 

[spindashing]

My first GAF avatar when I wasn't well known.

I'm sure most people know me by this avatar.

When animated avatars were killed, I used this one briefly.

Sonic taken from this comic. I mean, my username has to do with Sonic, so I felt I might as well go back to my roots.

I switched to a Finn avatar for a month or so.

The one I use today.

I used this one briefly during the whole "Link had pink hair" GAF trend.

Christmas Hipster Sonic.

A reference to the WrestleGAF community, done when people were adopting censor bars in their avatars for one day due to SOPA.

I used to have a Kanye West avatar but I cannot find that gif.

I also use to have a avatar version of this Sonic picture:

 

[DMeisterJ]

First:

Then: the .gif version of my current avatar which looped horribly, which I can't find on my computer.

And now:

First it began:

Jesus Christ.

make up your mind.

 

[Ronin]

Can't recall the exact order and I'm missing a few, but this is what I still have on hand.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

- Normal

- XMas

- DKR hype

 

[Plywood]

Jesus Christ.

make up your mind.

Indecisiveness is my decision.

 

[Atramental]

< - only ever had this.

It fits you like a glove.

A duck shaped glove.

 

[painey]

Image of my PS3 friends list. Soon as I got a PS3 I took this and just thought it was the shit.

Was just a cool image of Mario, but then it got Killzone'd

Had this for Yonks

Then it got Guybrush'd for the Monkey Island remake (which had abysmal art)

This is a picture of my baseball cap i got for World Cup 2010 showing the cool stylized England flag. Since I moved to the USA I like to use this to show my English pride.

[Snuggles]

I switched a lot in my first few months, but I had Zach Galifianakis as Tairy Green from Tim and Eric as my first avatar. I've forgotten about a lot of them, but this was the first I stuck with:

The cover of Jeff Buckley's Grace. An amazing album and it works quite well as an avatar. I've gone back to it a few times.


....then I moved on to my first animated avatar:

The iconic hynocat gif. I temporarily switched a few times but people would always bitch at me to bring it back since it's all I got going for me here.


When Evilore killed off animated avatars, I switched to this for awhile:

Classy as fuck, but it's doesn't pop out due to the lack of colors.


Then I went with the static hypnocat:

It's just not the same...


Recently I changed to this:

I like Lana and it's a really cool image, but it reminded me of how unbearably stupid the internet gets at the mere mention of her name so I switched to this:


My current avatar.

I'm bored of it, though. I need something new.

 

[umop_3pisdn]

I've only ever had this one, and part of my reason for picking it was that it's subdued enough that I shouldn't get sick of it.

 

[mollipen]

By best memory, in order (avatars on same line were rotating avatars). I do miss my animated avatars. Also, _dementia needs to go back to Cuilan, and Cheezmo needs to go back to bloody girl.

[revolverjgw]

I've been using this avatar since my rookie year in 2006 (Garrett from Thief- The Dark Project)

 

[Buckethead]

I think that's it.
