My Avatar is Awesome

[Desdichado]

Josh, I liked one of your older ones a lot. It was a portrait of a blonde-haired swashbucklery fellow. I just associate it with you and your posts now.

I got that a lot, which was part of the reason I kept it long after I was tired of it.

 

[Quickbeam]

Occasionally I miss my fiery, sinister clown avatar from a few years ago. I've also used an actual shot of Quickbeam from The Two Towers movie and an Elementalist logo.

For now the mystical om is just fine, but I'm open to suggestions.

My favorite avatars are T-Bill's (because it really does look like him in Saturday morning cartoon form) and PC's buccaneer feline.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Please never say that again. Please.

What if somoeone said that it would be the La Bomba?

 

[Azul]

Meh, I used to use skeletal avatars since Azul is the name of a Lich priest-lord in a prior campaign of mine. However, it's been a while since that campaign and I've found the good old flumph does a fine job of representing my odd sense of humour.

I admit it, whenever I glanced at Crothian's avatar, it looked like Boba fett's helmet. It took me about two months before I actually looked at it, and realized it was the book + ooze.

My avatar reminded me of Azalin, and I was running a campaign in Ravenloft at the time.

 

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

That's the one I most associate with you, since that's the one you were using when I started posting frequently.


I also originally thought Crothian's was Boba Fett's helmet melting, until I looked at it closely. BUt I still think that the broken Post Reply button was the best for him!

 

[KidCthulhu]

Sorry. My avatar still reigns supreme. It's Cthulhu. On a Toboggan. You can sing it to the tune of "Hakuna Matata" from Lion King. You can say "Ai, Ai Cthulhu Toboggan!" Plus it was created by the lovely and talented PlaneSailing. What more could you want?

That said, Crothian, Sialia did a nice job on yours!

I must agree.

And I've been meaning to share a brief anecdote from GenCon. We were playing Kevin's Mace Hunter and the Fountain of Youth game and Mike Beaver was sitting at the table with us. Kevin gets a brief phone call from you and after he hangs up says, "Peg said, 'Give Beaver a kiss from me. But no tongue.'"

I said, "I just fell in love with your wife a little bit there, Kevin."

"Happens all the time," he replied.

 

[pogre]

Mine is just a Reaper figure I painted a few years ago. It makes my posts easy to find.

 

[Gnome]

I'm not thrilled with mine. It's Brak from Cartoon Planet, which is all well and good, but I want something Gnomish instead.

I do have an idea, but I'll require a working scanner, and I'm not 100% sure it'd be permissible. Specifically, a long time ago I had a 2e article published titled "The Master Thief", which was included in issue #231. They added an illustration of a gnomish thief being apprehended by authorities (taken from an example in the article), and I was wanting to scan that pic, and just crop-out the face of the gnome thief.

I was thinking using a very small part of a larger painting would fall under "fair use", but I'm not entirely sure.
