Question Avatars.

Hey,

I seen a thread about your gamer tags and how they became your identity.

So, in line with that. Do you have a certain avatar you use as your image Identity across gaming forums, profiles and what not?

If so, did you create them yourselves or source them else where?

Good thread to go along with the other one!

I've used this avatar for at least 9 years. I use it almost everywhere. Obviously, I didn't draw it myself. :D

Here's a story to tell how dedicated I am to this avatar. I was on another forum where I started something that became a tradition. We called it a "Pony bet." It was a Wii U forum, and back in the day, another guy and I were betting about something we thought Nintendo would or wouldn't do. Whoever lost had to change their avatar to a My Little Pony picture for a month, or whatever. The only reason I risked it was because I was almost 100% sure I would win. They kept trying to get me into other Pony Bets after that, and I refused every time, unless I was sure I'd win. Why? Because I wanted to never change my avatar. :)

But before this, I used to pretty much exclusively use a picture of Indiana Jones.

Haha! That's a great story, I'm definitely going to start introducing Pony Bet's amongst some friends. I need to find myself an avatar to stick with first though.

The 3 avatars I use with my 3 main online identities are all from elsewhere—ie I didn't make any myself. The BB one here is an artist's impression of BB I found somewhere long ago, one of the others is same of a mythological character, and 3rd—which I must change sometime, I can't even recognize it myself!—is a great pic which sucks when reduced to avatar size.

For anyone coming in late, the 'related thread' mentioned earlier is this one:

I just looked up Brian Boru. Wow! I never knew about him until now.
 
He is so famous he even got a pub named after him;)

My own avatar is from one of my favorite sci-fi series: Farscape. The name of the character is
Dominar Rygel XVI and he loves to horde stuff and eat a lot, which pretty much sums up my own roleplaying personality.
