What's the story behind your current avatar?

It's a hentai pic of Sailor Moon I drew sticking her thing in her butt.

The biggest mistake Bungie made with Destiny.

I wanted a Feline guardian! :P
 
I bloody love the Moomins but (niche reference incoming) Moomin himself is a bit wet and I'm not cool enough to use Snufkin. I became a Dad around the time I got my account so Moominpappa it is.

If you don't know the Moomins check out the kids books - post war northern European fairy tales with amazing characters and sweet but brooding stories. They are ace.
 
I took the pic and put an Instagram filter. Only Instagram pic I took in my whole life too lol.

I love this specific Yoshi and my sister gave me this one as a gift. I put the Mr. Potato Head glasses on it so Yoshi could look hipster. I thought it was cool so it has been my avatar and seems that many people already recognizes me because of it.
 
It's there so if and when season 5 of Arrested Development is announced, I can change it to blue and comment with "I just blue myself". I'm playing the long game.

The moomins always creeped me out as a kid.
 
I made a vector graphic years ago based on a sign I saw in the the intro level in System Shock 2 before you get into the training centre. This was back in the days where I actually had patience to do such things. Looking back at it, I think my eyes are too long.

Repping the US rugby team in time for the match against the All Blacks on November 1st.

Can't wait to lose horribly.
 
The verge did an article about sony back a couple of years ago. This was during when Kazuo Hirai was just promoted to ceo.
 
I had a Tron Bonne (Megaman Legands) avatar I wanted to use, but as always, found a way to get Aioi Yuko (Nichijou) in there. So I had the nice people on GAF edit this image with Yuko's shocked face instead of Volt and Roll.


It's better suited for Christmas with Tron Bonne in Santa attire, but who knows, maybe I'll also use it for December!

It's Nonowa (‎ののワ), an odd iM@S meme based on a character call Haruka Amami from 2ch, dressed as Mario.

I was sent a link to the following image via Twitter, thought it was funky so I made it my avatar for the month.

It's literally literally BGBW.png. Amazing.
 
Ever since I' joined GAF and picked Loxley for my username, I've pretty much always had a Robin Hood avatar of some sort. Up until a couple months ago, this was my avatar for over two years:

I decided it was time for a change so I switched to a Master & Commander avatar, but then other members of TolkienGAF told me they missed my old one, so I 'shopped a Robin Hood hat onto Russel Crowe's head to make it more familiar :) And hey, Crowe himself played a bad Robin Hood, so really I've come full circle. It's like poetry.
 
A vintage cigar/cigarette advert depicting an unctuous man. He looks almost moved to tears by the brand he is peddling. I lost the original image but one day I hope find it and put it on my wall.
 
From a one-shot manga called Digimortal, by Tsutomu Nihei. Despite being a fan I somehow missed it until recently and liked it a lot.

All my avatars have been manga-based, I previously used Will Zeppelli from Jojo and Kaiman from Dorohedoro. Although I guess I should stop switching them around.

The Flynn avy was always one of my favourites on GAF. Master and Commander is bad ass as well, though.
 
I love Zelda, and I'm a fan of the music & art style of Sword and Sworcery. I made it myself. :)
