If you have an avatar of a character...who is it (where did it come from) and why?

If you have an avatar that is a photo of yourself,where are you?



I was searching the internet for a picture for a card for my son...his name is Griffyn. since then I've used the same pic for a few things. facebook for one.

I frequently change my avatars, and all of them are photos of myself.

Barbie~~

I just figured out how to change my avatar

I got mine from the blog 'hyperbole and a half'.  I took it from perhaps the funniest/greatest christmas story ever put into print... If you haven't read it, rush and read it now!

Zaria I love hyperbole and a half. So so hilarious.

My avatar is me in my living room about a month ago. You can't see it, but my daughter was standing directly behind me, changing her clothes for the millionth time and monologuing about aphids and roses. We'd just gotten home from doing something fun and I was pretty happy.

Mine is from the Lutz Doll company.

I had plans to pick her up, would have cost me about $600 but ended up having to move and I spent that money on a security deposit instead.

Haven't had the money since

Mine came from an internet cartoon I use to do along time ago called Gadgett Online. It was a story of the voiceless living in a voice filled world. That's how it started anyway and then become something a lot better and a lot longer lol.

Stock avatar from here, but has a double meaning.
It's a picture that represents me without being a picture of me.

Mine is just because my nickname is apple pie, which in turn is because I was eating one when I registered

I wanted to put a pic of my face but i couldn't on my ipad, and anyway you really don't loose anything, so basically i picked Fiona Apple, one of my favourite artists

I'm the one looking at you!!!   Do you want me to wave???  LOL

It was taken with a dirty old Nokia phone camera, (first one made, I think) in my bedroom with poor lighting. That's why it looks a bit fuzzy. You can just see my Teddie's ear in right frame.

Warning this is long.

Mine is part of my leg sleeve tattoo. I am putting the elemental symbols on each limb and was having trouble with earth because each one also has some tie to transformation too. I finally decided to go with crystals since they are a clear earth symbol and the transform white light into the rainbow.

Unfortunately it would have looked like a pink Floyd Dark Side of the moon tribute. So when we were driving down to the beach last year my wife and I brainstormed ideas (we get some of best from long trips like that and it is a fun way to pass the miles). We came up with a whole story and decided to make the climatic scene the tattoo.  Unfortunately it was too large for just a normal tattoo so I had to make it a sleeve. In it two Fae are getting hand fasted and the Lady smiles her blessing over them into the crystal which makes a rainbow backdrop. The tattoo is still a WIP (will have another session this weekend or two from now) the first color session he finished the Fae modeled after my wife. He dd such a good job that she immediately made it her Facebook profile picture. So it stood to reason that when I got the next Fae which represented me that it become my profile pic too. That picture is actually only hours old so eventually I'll replace it with one after it is fully healed
