What's the story behind your current avatar?

The Qunari are easily my favorite aspect about Dragon Age, a series I adore. Even Dragon Age 2. And the Arishok was my favorite character in the games, npc's included. I found him to be fascinating.
 
I like Tablo, he's a hip hop artist. And the album cover that is my avatar is dope, I love the design of it, really beautiful.
 
Neoriceisgood is amazing and Wario is amazing. :D

I don't see myself changing this avatar for a long time to come, I love it so much
 
I had a grumpy cartoon Dracula. I was getting typecasted and commonly avatarquoted as a grumpy guy, got banned a lot of times and everything I said sounded agressive. AI changed it after my return and it has beena hit. I actually like being avatar quoted now :P
 
I had the Zelda U tech demo Link before, and as soon as that trailer released I fell in love with the look of the new Link. Made a shoddy low res version of this one a couple minutes after the trailer hit, then got some nice gaffer to do a nice looking one. The only downside to it is that it constantly reminds me of how far away Zelda U is :(
 
Neko Shogun is the (second) best persona/demon from the Shin Megami Tensei spinoffs.

He was in my first avatar then I saw this one in the SMT4 thread and loved it. I am now doomed to always have Neko Shogun avatars.
 
Anticipation and general fan of the Witcher.I cropped the 3rd games promo art and that's what you see in my avatar now.

The Witcher™ approves.
 
panther is the most broken character in eyeshield, black muscles and all that. but somehow manages to be cool

It's a stylized picture of one of Dungeon and Fighter's antagonists, Cain (it's...confusing to explain).

Here's him along with all the other Apostles:


In a way, it's kinda funny because despite being the most powerful of the Apostles, they haven't done much with him (partly because he likes to stay put), and they really don't go out of their way to show him fully.

Usually all you get is something like this:

I like MF DOOM. Used to have the Operation Doomsday cover as my avatar. Some dude started using the same one. Couldn't have that shit. I changed it to the cover for MM...Food
 
Like many, I quit regular viewing of The Simpsons early 00's. I caught a rerun of an episode a few years back where
Abe & Selma
fall in love which leads to Homer donning the alias "Estebán de la Sexface" and damn I could not stop laughing at the stupidity. When I realized later Simpsons eps can still be funny, I put the show back on semi-rotation and have enjoyed it in its later years.
 
I love Daft Punk. My avatar is a cool picture of Daft Punk. That's pretty much it. Oh yeah and I admire what they did in terms of evading fame. If you think about it they're the only "stars" on the planet that did that. They're super famous but when Thomas or Guy walk down the street no-one recognises them even though they're the most famous electronic band in existence.

It's super intelligent, creative and mysterious. Always loved that about them.
 
The perfect melding of the old world (horse/lance) the current world at that time (a gas mask) and the future (the stahlhelm most famous in WWII) that occurred during WWI which is why I love to learn about it.

Also the horse has a gas mask.
 
During the Chicago Bulls playoff run few years ago Bulls gaf changed their avatars. I forgot to change mine back lol

Luuuuuuuuc!

Thunder from down under!

It's Delita from Final Fantasy Tactics. Tactics is probably my second favorite game and Delita was my favorite character in the game and one of my favorite characters ever.

Originally, I was going to have Jowy's portrait
as a King
from Suikoden II as my avatar but ended up deciding against it for some reason. I think I saw someone else that had his portrait so I switched it.
 
I went to Sendai just to get this Pikachu at the Pokemon Center because I love Pokemon and samurai.

Well actually on the last day of using my JR pass I went from Fukuoka to Sendai but I arrived at 4 and only had an hour to get to Sendai Castle. I did get to see the Date Masamune statue so I was happy about that at least.
 
While working on donkey Kong country returns a gorilla picked up a ds and played it. Someone Photoshopprd it to be dk. I thought it would be a great way to support the game and subtly show where I worked without outing myself because people can get crazy about that stuff. No longer work there so it's not that big a deal anymore.
 
'Cause i am a big fan of game developer FuturLab and their games. I gave them some help when they needed help. So they showed their appreciation by drawing me in the style of Velocity 2X
 
It's my cat. It's a weird angle and makes her look weird but I am wayyyyyyyyyyy to fucking lazy to change it.
 
I had a picture of a regal cat surrounded by cherubs xmas-ified. and I've been to lazy to change it... for a couple years.

I'm the guy with xmas lights up year round!
 
I used to have the same avatar as neogaf member Aaron Strife ( I only remembered his name because of this) for years, and then one day we posted in the same thread. I couldnt believe it he had been using it for years prior to me so I relented...I miss you Skeeter. I miss you every god damn day.

Anyhow I was a drifter for a while until that PETA version of pokemon thread and PETA had their shitty abusive version of ash. The shittiness made me laugh so hard that I knew nobody else could possibly have it. So it became mine.

EDIT: HOLY SHIT HE CHANGED HIS AVATAR. FUCK THIS THING SKEETERRRRRRRRRRRRR IM COMING BACK BABY
 
I was researching Muslim/Arab female superheroes and discovered Dust Qadir. Thought she was kick ass and thought this picture of her would be perfect as an avatar. I don't think I could ever change it to something else, haha.
