I chose Twilight Sparkle because, regardless of what people think, she is inspirational to me. I look up to her because she is so sweet and innocent, and probably the most legitimately sincere being I've seen. She doesn't have any agenda or hidden motives, she just is purely kind while wanting to pursue the truth of the universe around her. I didn't make the avatar, a friend did, but I liked it better than my other Twilight avatar so I kept it.



Actually, yours has been strangely standout for me.



Yours is the most standout avatar on Gaf to me. It's so cute looking.

i like yours too. :)
 
My favorite show.

Because Yoshi! :3
 
Favorite MvC3 character (Felicia), and it's the only game I play anymore. This is one of the few pieces of art I could find in which she doesn't look too absurd. I actually don't really care for her design much at all; she's just very fun to play and has kind of become part of my identity in the game since not many people use her and I'm willing to bet that I'm one of the best players who does.
 
Mine has no inspiration. I was looking for a new avatar after Christmas and needed something to fit the size. It fit the mood I was in that day so I picked it.

I'd like a new one. Maybe I'll steal one from one of you guys. Coolio's is pretty swag. Maybe someone will be nice and find one for me.
 
GAF always says my avatar is creepy but I think it's funny as hell.

I remember seeing it in an ad on the subway in NYC for Manhattan Mini Storage. It had a picture of my avatar saying "Your doll collection creeps people out".

LOL...FUN-A stuff.
 
Sonic + black framed glasses judging what I post

The essential avatar, really... Big face, hilarious expression, recognizable character and! I think the glasses make it. I laugh every time I see it. O Sonic, u so crazee.

Apparently I look like my avatar, so that's something?

Also, I think he's hot.

He IS hot. Like way. Way hot. But he does have some slightly feminine features, so it's not surprising someone thinks he looks a little like a chick.

Still hot.

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.

I've noticed your avatar a few times; I really dig the art style (her hair is awesome)!

Something that stands out with a silly face that doesn't take itself seriously.

Excellent! Silly frog not so srs :P


I just changed mine today, but it's the same character: Lucca from my most favoritest game of all the times, Chrono Trigger. I figured I should have a gaming avatar on a gaming forum? Dunno. Might change it again soon.

I watched Robotech a lot growing up and always liked series 3 the most. It also has character designs by Yoshitaka Amano of Final Fantasy fame. I chose Annie/"Mint" because she just seemed chill smoking a cig with her hair blowing. A chill avatar. I chose it because there was some thread a while ago that got into the discussion of people with anime avatars. I have an anime avatar (of a teenage girl I think), but it's so neutral it's hard to even associate with anime at all. Amano also inspired me to start illustrating myself so there's that as well. Anyway, I don't plan on changing it ever. It's a keeper.
 
I had a bunch of cute moe animu girls as avatars for the past few months so I thought I'd use something a bit darker for a while.

I really loved the artwork of this avatar and the artist is really great.

I'll probably go back to animu stuff next month. Or something. I change my avatars too much.
 
It's usopp. He's an idiot. He's scared as hell but he does his best. He has hilarious conversations with chopper. Sogeking is an incredible invention. That is all.
 
I've had the chance to do some limited voiceover work over the years, as characters like Picard and "The Count" and Sigmund Freud.

I uploaded the samples to YouTube here:

...but to give some sort of visuals over the video I transformed pics of myself into each of the characters in Photoshop and then deconstructed the Photoshops in the video.

oh come, he's not an idiot. in the recent chapters, he's demonstrated sound forward thinking. also, the greatest part of his character was when
he and luffy fought at Water 7. (wo)manly tears! :)

He's the best type of idiot. Ah yes that was good. We shall all miss going merry :'(.
 
Its Wonder Woman....I love Wonder Woman, and still believe hiding her thighs is a crime.
 
It's a picture of Baby Bill Snyder.

Bill Snyder is the legendary Head Coach of Kansas State University, my favorite College team.
