A Lissar original drawing from the Real Pic Gaf RPG that was written, illustrated and soon to be on the production floor for a full on game. It was my character drawn on a tablet after a real life photo.

Do tell us more!


My avatar is a character from a comic that I would be drawing if my writer would actually complete a first chapter. For now it's just concept art.
 
Made it because of the UMvC3 hype (which never went away).
MvC-GAF was losing its mind before the Rocket Raccoon reveal, and he became a mascot for us in those few days.

Its Rocket Raccoon's head on the body of the guy on the cover of MW3 (I've not played MW3)
 
Dungeon Raid. One of my favorite mobile games ever (iOS/Android) I try to recommend it to as many people as I can. But I've been meaning to change it for months.
 
I chose mine because I can scroll down the page at full speed and spot my posts among every other avatar, plus I think I have some kind of symptom of Asperger's as I like to collect and look at blue things.
 
Amaterasu Okami from the game Okami.

I wanted an avatar for awhile that depicted Amaterasu nicely and I randomly browsed eBay and saw that someone ink drawn Amaterasu on a wall scroll parchment, I believe.

She just looks graceful and stunning in the avatar I chose, don't regret this one at all.
 
Brian Bosworth. The BOZ. Football player for the University of Oklahoma in the mid 80s. Fellow Oklahomans or college football aficionados will recognize him as one of the greatest linebackers to take ever the field, as well as action star in mega blockbuster "Stone Cold" and "One Man's Justice".

The rest of the world will remember him for getting trucked by Bo Jackson.
 
I saw a random MLP comic and it had a funny face. I'm not a briny, don't worry. When Christmas came around I Santa-fied my avatar. Kept it the same ever since.
 
I'm terrible at thinking up names for myself whether it be in a game or a username somewhere. I also wanted total anonymity so I didn't want to use something unique I had already managed to think up for another account somewhere. When Family Guy was in it's prime Brian was my favorite character and I'm very similar to him (very liberal, atheist, big fan of reason and realistic thinking).

The avatar was the best quality pic of Brain I could find and I like his expression. Kinda boring but there it is.

I dunno what it is. I found it while searching for pictures of crocodiles one day and thought it was cool.

It's Crocomire from Super Metroid!
Mini-boss/boss I think?
I just remember his skeleton after you beat him looked stunning.
 
More of a subtle haha to the haters in the GoT thread. I'm petty, I know, but they gave me ridiculous amounts of shit over my insider knowledge of the show. It's funny to feel the rage seething when I post positive shit over though to counter their ridiculous fanboyism.

Do you also wake up to the sound of you own farts?
 
This one time I read scott pilgrim and there was a cat in it and I like cats soooooo
 
It's the Cheshire Cat. Because I love his style, and complete insanity.

And because it fits here on GAF. Because, we're all mad here.

Whoa! I haven't really noticed you in the art thread. What the heck?! Any where I can see more?

My avatar is a self portrait, one of the few that I've ever done.

Everything about this picture is the reason I have this avatar (assuming it's still Arnie when you see this). The actor, the movie, the action, and the attitude.

Lol Commando. The beginning is hilarious because its just him doing normal stuff and being a good dad, only an hr later into the movie and he's invading a marble mansion in camo gear with an M60 machine gun.

Oh mine is me playing hockey. No reason, just had it up and I like hockey
 
I recolored the MegamanX sprite to give it the appearance of a suit along with the 007. I still have trouble deciding on a long term avatar so I'll keep this one until Skyfall comes out. :D
