A Puzzlement

Is it me, or am I the only guy in these forums using the happy kitten avatar?

And how do you become identified with an avatar in the first place?

I'm just happy no one things I'm my avatar......

I would have sworn it was a photo........

Dunno. I've never bothered with avatars, sigs and the like much. I entered zappo into google images and came up with this. It seems to be colored and flavorful.

I'm the only one using my avatar because its a picture of my cat. Frankly I like to be able to identify the poster from their avatar and the trend of multiple people using the same or very similar avatars seems a bad one to me.

I use the avatar

Although I don't normally post, I made an exception for a co-happy kitten user

I used to have the Sea Elf avatar which you can choose from the ENWorld avatar selection list. Then, one day, I saw someone using the Sea Elf avatar and realized that I needed a new one. I wanted something truly unique!

I ran a Google image search for sexy fantasy babes (OK, maybe I didn't use that exact search string), and found my current avatar. I then spent like 3 hours editing it so that it was small enough (both in dimensions and file size) to be uploaded.

I'm pretty happy with the results, although I must admit that the smiling kitty avatar always makes me laugh.

That's pretty much what happened to me except I used a strange alien avatar [I saw like 3 OTHER people using it within like a single week and KNEW I had to change]. It took me a few days before I saw my pic in an anime and thought it looked neat. Come to think of it, before I changed, I think my posts were more wierd and unusual than they are now. Oh well, everyone will have to live with a more 'normal' me.

I've actually been thinking about changing it and I think I might have the perfect pic, so don't be surprised if my avatar suddenly changes [no more Natsuki, awww].

I had been using one of the old map avatars til I started seeing it more often, then Gomez hapened to provide me a copy of my current avatar. so far so good
Also Dog Moon2003 what anime is your charcter from it seems familiar, like last exile or something.
