Your Avatar

this tis just one for the gallary...i couldnt find my others

 

I actually just found it. I think death is one of the funniest things that can happen... so much potential for humor. I googled "Funny grave."

 

My avatar speaks for itself. i chose it because i like Death! (the character that is )

 

Human, your avatar rocks... err... stones... grave stones... humm...

Ever see Dead like me ? a great series about death, with some delicious grim humour...

 

Sword fighting eh?

The original

 

Hehe just saw yer new avatar there sarge, it's bloody fantastic.

 

Mine is Goku from Saiyuki, licking cake off his fingers. I thought the hat and his wink were adorable yet not lacking in attitude.

 

He is adorable. Though he looks a bit irritated to me... Your Avater represents you, you know... I think you have been labeled with 'cute' in my mind now, until you say or do something to prove me wrong. And I've seen all your posts, and the label still stands. :yawinkle:

 

I never thought it possible to be irritated while eating cake, as the world outside your tastebuds generally ceases to exist, but I guess the wink could be taken for a squint.

 

I dunno... I was pretty irritated while eating cake when my brother jumped on my back, and I sort of gasp-coughed and... erm, it was messy.

 

On another board I roam around, I saw a sticky with a quick tutorial on "how to create your avatar for dummies" maybe something like this could be of help to people like Hsing ? (not implying that Hsing or anyone except Rinso is a dummy, just that some things in this world are not always obvious until you have done them, and even then sometimes need explaining...)

 

OOooooooh, I like that idea !!! It must be said that the avatars in the current gallery are somewhat... humm, abstract... Not that abstract isn't good, just don't look at them all on the same page, it gives you a headache. May I also volunteer for avatar-hunting ? Nothing as simple and crass as ripping off Pterry book illustrations, but we could try finding fun, apropriate avatars for this board, and giving people something neat to choose from if they don't have their own, couldn't we ?

 

What can I say, Havelock is one of the most brilliant (and brilliantly written) characters ever...

 

Mine is obvious enough. Being married to one.

 

Hi everyone! I'm new here, and I picked my avatar(which I use in other boards, too), because basically I'm a gentle and caring person.

Uncle But

 

Lordi !!!

Welcome But_anyway !

 

My avatar is the head of one of my favourite creations.

I always felt that Clarecraft’s figure of Vimes was wrong. He did the Dirty Harry bit with Lord Mountjoy wearing Sybil's nightie not his uniform. So I converted their figure based on the Kidby illustration on the front of the Watch Diary.

 

Hi, JAK (be careful not to say that on an airliner!) and welcome - the miniatures site looks interesting for when I have more time (I have a play to stage-manage with opening night next Tuesday). One minor quibble - your figurine and avatar appear to show Vimes smoking a cigarette - Vimes smokes cigars!

 

I'm not sure - there is a reference to Lady Sybil getting him onto cigars to replace alcohol, and cigarettes are more usually associated with wizards - I am sure there is someone out there who will come up with a reference to Vimes and cigarettes if there is one!

 

My avatar is the evil Murray, as seen in Monkey Island. He's my favourite video game character, purely because of his hilarious speechs on world domination, and the fact that he's a vunerable character that wants to take it all out on others.

 

My sites been going for a few years so hope that you will have seen at some time.
Decided to join your forum partly because of the Boardanian section with a view to bouncing ideas about figures around; however having read some of the topics I get the impression that figures are not used in your RPGs.

As to the Vimes figure he usually smokes Pantweed's Slim Panatellas cigars. I was informed that a panatela cigar was cigarette sized and became confused, Not got round to correcting it yet, although if painted in brown it wouldn’t show up as well.

 

May I present...(roll of drums, fanfare a la Shaun Ogg)
The Great Old One himself, celebrating the season of goodwill!

When I was looking for an avatar i wanted a picture of Death as mr. scrub but i realised it wouldn't work because nobody could see him so I got the Canting crew instead. I wish it included Altogether Andrews.

 

And WHAT is "The Great Old One"

 

No idea!!

 

I didn't really get that. But I'll reread it later, because not getting things irritates me.

Thank you for the tip Hsing.

 

I have a suggestion for Buzzfloyd's avatar since she seems to change it every day. A traditional Nativity scene with star, cow and baby except with that odd face on the baby.

 

He's a she

 

That was stupid cuz I already knew that i'll edit.

 

Is Syntax a he, she or it?

 

Ah, so he/she/it is spanish, eh ? Haha !

 

Well, my avatar is taken from a 2nd century AD fresco of the Roman god Mithras, from a Mithraeum in Italy. I chose it, really, because of my board name - Greco-Latin for 'Mithras the Cosmic Ruler' (so modest! ), which in turn I chose because my interest in Mithraism, which dates from school days (I did one of my coursework pieces for A-level R.E. on the religion), has recently been revived thanks to my studies at Newcastle University - the Museum of Antiquities up here has a rather nice full sized reconstruction of the Carrawburgh Mithraeum.

 

I'm glad you approve

 

Blargh!
