Why did you choose your avatar?

Talk about anything in here.

Postby Yuki-Anne » Sat Sep 17, 2011 6:15 am

I chose my new avatar because I thought it was HILARIOUS. It's probably more so in context: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/11/dogs-dont-understand-basic-concepts.html

No but really, I love the way it's drawn, and the frenzied desperation of the dog trying to get the socks off its feet... it is bizarrely accurate in summing up my current mental state.

Mine's Rin Kagamine cuz she's adorable and I liked this pic of her.
"And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:1-7

I picked my avatar because it's from the first anime I ever watched (maybe--it was either Kimba or Astroboy). It's Kimba's older sister, and I hope to be like an older sister to other people here. When I was in first grade I wanted to be Astroboy though.

The story behind my current avatar is that for a long time I've been wanting to draw my own avatar, and could never decide what to make. I had been making character graphics for some games by sketching and inking them, then scanning them, and this one was already available (just without color), so I just colored it to use.

My current avatar: Elizabeth Thompson.
She is one of Death the Kid weapons.
I like her personality and how she relates to Kid (he is my favorite character in Soul Eater).

Mine is Thane Krios from Mass Effect 2 because that game is beast. XP
Derek -The Daring Pokemon - A cool, totally awesome Pokemon that uses his power of song, medical skills and powers of cool to make others see things differently. He is not temperamental, but he likes to pull pranks and grins when you fall into his traps. Usually, he styles a fedora and prances around on all fours, he's all black with a white belly.

I chose my avatar because I like Tsubasa, and Mokona is cute. I've had the same avatar for a long time now, though. I should probably change it.

Weirdly enough, I'm not entirely sure why I chose this avatar. What's even weirder is that I went to the trouble of making it myself. XD; I think I just liked him and his expression...

No, wait. I chose this character because I'll also track down people for cookies. Yeah.

Ed Edd n Eddy was THE cartoon of my childhood, and it still has a special place in my heart *sniff* so that's why I chose my avatar. I forget where I found it, but I just think it's totally adorable XD

Edd is my favorite character. All three Eds are lovable, but his neurotic insanity reminds me of myself.
