Avatars and You

Post by Thirdfain »

Dos your avatar look at all like you? Why did you pick it, and is there anything you would rather have?

I personally don't look at all like Bill Mumy, and I picked his image as my avatar because I think he was one of the best actors on B5, right after Peter Jurassik and Andreas Katsulas.

I am obviously not an aqua colored Twi'lek.

I picked it for two reasons:
1. I was playing Star Wars Galaxies heavily at the time as a Twi'lek.
2. When I looked through the icon gallery, I liked this one the most. And everyone else seemed to like it too. :)

Mine reflects what I do for a living, albeit in a facetious manner. While the patch on top would normally say, "RANGER" and the one below would reflect a unit, like this:

While mind tend to reflect my slight obsession with bishie/anime style characters, no, they look nothing like me.

Does your avatar look at all like you?
Obviously not, unless of course you belief that I am a gargantuan ball of hot gas.

Why did you pick it, and is there anything you would rather have?
It goes well with my nic and no.

Probably, but avatars are somewhat limited by their size, photo editing software being used and the skill of the person using it. Plus some things just don't look good at that size.

I also tend to like symbols and signs more than actual photos.

Are you sure you don't work for the IRS? :D

My Avatar is a reflection of my being a Trek fan. Also my profile tends to be themed so my Avatar fits with my location and title.

Few people would recognise it and wonder where the hell I got it from. Spanky even lied to Usanomiko one time about it being from some South African TV show.
and is there anything you would rather have?
Perhaps the Jesus Zoidberg I have on a few other sites with the custom title "Jesus H Crustacean," but i think TCO gives me some individuality around here.

If I had elf ears and darker hair I could pass for my avatar, picked it since I enjoyed LOTR so much. I was thinking about a Natalie Portman av since people keep saying I look like her but I've become quite fond of my Arwen av.

Uhm, no.

Because I lack Photoshop, I can't edit the picture I want to use.
