What's up with that Avatar? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Regziever · 08-19-2003, 08:17 AM

Well since phredgreen started the what's up with that nickname? Thread I became interested in what reasons people have for their Avatars.

Why did you choose it? What's your reason?

I chose mine because it is portraying (well almost) how I was when I was a young kid

always up to no good and with a verry strong interest in hidden matters.

Plus I think it's a funny image.

(mods: If this post is in the wrong board plz transfer it.)

cliche · 08-19-2003, 08:20 AM

Well, I thought that seeing as my nick was cliche (and has been for about 6-7 years on various boards/BBSs/IRC) I needed to pick one for an avatar... so the cliche kitty seemed like an obvious choice!

...and it's vewwy vewwy cute...

johnnymysto · 08-19-2003, 08:38 AM

Jennifer Garner is extremely gorgeous and I loved her pink-haired look from the early Alias episode.

lurkette · 08-19-2003, 08:38 AM

I chose mine because it's a little creepy and obscure, and it's fun to note peoples' reactions when they realize it's staring at them, or that its eyes move.

I got one. I'll let yo know what it is as soon as I reach the vaulted post level that triggers the big Avatar day.

ninety09 · 08-19-2003, 09:16 AM

Favourite music band..

BatmanMan · 08-19-2003, 09:32 AM

When I designed it I thought it was cool. I added my name and it became my avatar.

Loup · 08-19-2003, 10:28 AM

When I grow up, I want to be Ash.

debaser · 08-19-2003, 10:51 AM

Sir, I have a plan!

drawerfixer · 08-19-2003, 10:57 AM

Eh... I just haven't found one that really presents me in the way that I think of myself. Thus, I put up an ava of a chick that I think is beautiful.

holtmate · 08-19-2003, 11:00 AM

rogue49 · 08-19-2003, 11:57 AM

Depends on my mood.

I used to keep it pretty consistent, but now I change it more often.

This time I'm expressing my lustful side.
There is a reason I'm called rogue.

Snoogans · 08-19-2003, 12:24 PM

It's the man inside my head who tells me what to do.

He looks alot like me...

I think I'm due for a revamp though.

fallen_angel · 08-19-2003, 12:58 PM

hmm dont have one yet but i picked one out already. . . its of an image in my head that i tried to create got mad and looked for something of a visual aide to draw with and i found the exact picture i had in my head freaky. . . although it is of a male angel and i am female he is my guardian, and inspiration

sixate · 08-19-2003, 12:58 PM

<-------- me.

I change it from time to time. It may not be me later. Who knows.

sadistikdreams · 08-19-2003, 01:16 PM

um. i wanted to make a new one, i guess.

bones says that it's bill gates with a side of bacon over the fire.

World's King · 08-19-2003, 01:36 PM

Yeah... that's me in my normal state of anger.

wario · 08-19-2003, 01:48 PM

Wario is just my character of choice when it comes to any of the Nintendo games he stars in.
But why do I have a picture of him pumping a rocket?
Ummm...

Sadly it'll be a while before I get to play. Time, you know, time.

But it will probably be a camera.

absorbentishe · 08-19-2003, 03:10 PM

If you know the theme song. Due for a change though, something not so spongebobby.

hotzot · 08-19-2003, 03:50 PM

Shultz shows us that even a nazi can be cuddly.

BulletBob · 08-19-2003, 04:52 PM

It's a pic of John Frusciante. He's my favorite (and greatest IMO) guitarist ever.

bundy · 08-19-2003, 05:43 PM

mine changes quite regularly, to go with my current mood, or interest.

atm, its Sean Bateman (little brother of Patrick), because imo, one can´t have enough Bateman in ones Avatar.

the pics from Rules of Attraction (bret easton ellis) as is my location, and signature.

its all about streamlining.

Mr.Deflok · 08-19-2003, 06:34 PM

It's a drawing I did of a central character in a novel I wrote, I used Ulead Gif Animator and Photoshop to give it an old film like feel, the end-product astounds me.

The_Dude · 08-19-2003, 07:29 PM

mine's pretty self-explanatory.

i'm a longhorn & love my school.

HOOK 'EM HORNS!

phoenix1002 · 08-19-2003, 07:37 PM

Well, my old avatar was a phoenix... I know, imaginative, eh? But now it's a stuffed Cthulhu. After all, who doesn't love a cuddly stuffed elder god? Besides, I've been having these weird dreams lately...

HA! Just warn me if you and a group of your buddies decide it's time to head to the beach some weekend; I want to get a few continents away.

Mine is me, devil horns and all, with a bit of the ol' green flame added for effect. That's Thraeryn.

YourNeverThere · 08-19-2003, 09:55 PM

Mines great, It's some girl from the TB's eye. Then more blue, and a dash of anarchy sign. I dont know i just really like the eye.

collide · 08-19-2003, 11:39 PM

There are not nearly enough swollen members (to quote air45) on TFP (in terms of avatars - I don't need to know if that's the case behind the keyboard for those of you playing at home), so in order to balance the number of T&A, I present you with... watermelon.gif!
