Why'd You Choose Your Avatar?

[D-Volt]

I'm curious to know why everyone has chosen the avatars that they have. Obviously a lot of avatar switching will be done on this forum over time, so I guess the real question is how did you choose your first avatar here?

So that this thread doesn't get confusing if/when you switch avatars, I recommend posting the one you're referring to in your response.

I'll start! It's pretty simple really. If I had to pick two video game series that I think are masterpieces and deserve more recognition than they get they would be Xenosaga and Pathologic. I love them both to bits. Since my avatars on Dtoid are all Xenosaga related, I figured I'd make my forum avatar Pathologic related. So my avatar is Artemy Burahk for that reason.

I like orcs

 

[Parismio]

I thought it was funny.

 

[LaTerry]

I'm boring and just chose my regular DToid avatar. I commissioned Ravenclaw to draw me a dragon and then I made it my avatar.

 

[LaserPirate]

I asked BlondeBass to draw me like one of his French girls. This is my portrait. It's just me, guys.

 

[PhilKenSebben]

Because I stuck myself in this box over 10 years ago. Why change?

 

[Charlton Heston]

Because I am actually Charlton Heston, and none of you dipshits believe me.

 

[PhilKenSebben]

I do

 

[Charlton Heston]

That's because you're not a dipshit, Mike.

You're a dickshit.

I can also attest that he is the real Heston. I whipped him with a cat o nine tails for 3 years straight and he didn't break.

I scream about video games sometimes, so this Dark Jak icon speaks to me. Also, since we're not burdened by Disqus here, I don't need to keep the Hibiki pic in order to maintain continuity between Qposts and the comments.

 

[RiffRaff]

Because I like kitties and I like colors. I'll probably change it up here and there.

I love cactuar's?

I believe you :x

Mine is a placeholder, because I just don't have anything better at the ready. But aside from that, I love Nevermore and their logo.

LaserPirate out here making me feel emotions on a monday morning

 

[clarknovalis]

I loved your previous Totoro avatar too!

 

[Meursault]

An online friend needed money for her meds, so I gave it to her. And as a thank you, one of her friends drew me a picture.

 

[RiffRaff]

I loved your previous Totoro avatar too!

Might revert to that some random day. If qtoid and diqus weren't so fucky I'd change it up more often.

I love Drive (the movie) and synthwave music/retrowave aesthetics. So when I found online the alternate poster of Drive drawn by James White (the guy also responsible for Far Cry 3 and Trials of the Blood Dragon original posters) I was enamored and took it as my personal avatar on all my accounts (even WhatsApp) because it pretty much encapsulates my personality.

White’s portfolio can be found here:

This is instead the original movie poster:
