I figured since we have a "What do you smell like" thread and a "what does your username mean" thread I'd ask this question.
I'm sure it's been done before but 5 pages in or so I didn't see anything mentioned and search turned up nothing (Except pages of people talking about the Eldar Avatar).
Your Avatar, what does it mean? Why did you choose it? It is something special with hidden meanings or do you like it because it's just cool/funny/strange?
Mine is simply a picture I found a long time ago while trying to find the picture of the little kid soccer hooligan flipping people off. Has nothing to do with sinister brain, other than I'm a big baby with an attitude. Seems to fit.
My avatar is a picture of the Fleshtearers Chapter Master Seth. He picked up Abbadon and hurled him across a battlebarge. He has a plate in his skull. He is one bad dude.

I bet Abby was very butthurt about that. He's never seemd the coolheaded type to me. I'm gonna have to look into this Seth fellow.

Never need a reason to have an anime girl as an avatar!
As for mine, it's a scenario detailing what will happen to Shadowbrand, MGS, Gwar!, SilverMk2 or any other heretic on this site should I ever catch them.

I no longer have a copy, but they took a picture of me within about 10 minutes of my birth. I had the same expression, same fist and about the same amount of hair. No beach and my eyes were bluer in my pic though.
I chose my current Avatar because we had a few threads about Dakka (finally) reaching 1 million posts.
They appear to be using some form of foil...upgrade!
In the Victorian age monkey knife fights were not the sport of common man. No self respecting simian would be caught dead without the proper fencing gear. Lest he be pelted with feces. Thrown by monkey servants, obviously. None of the gentry would lower themselves to such an act.
My original avatar was a platypus. This one is self-explanatory.
Mine is just a small bit of artwork by Patrick Nagel.
A talented artist who died at the age of 38 from a heart-attack. He did several art pieces for Playboy and even has a Duran Duran album cover credit (Rio).
On all boards that let me use it, I use it. It helps with people recognising me.
I change my avatar a lot, but this time around it's a meme from 4chan's /tg/ (Traditional Games, that means Warhammer, D&D, etc) board. We call him the Gay Purple Man, and he was originally on a banner for a cartoon porn site. Here he is in his original incarnation:
From a very disturbing anime. If I remember the part a friend showed me right someone had to rip their fingernails out to get someone to forgive them for not wanting to murder someone.
Anyway, my avatar is just Strike and Impulse carrying a Vindicator with a SM sergeant on the shoulder of a Zaku pointing.
Vindicator was WIP at the time though
Nah like this, I managed to find the clip. The disturbing part starts just after 1 min if you want to watch, but avoid that part.
I don't really like this show either, but it has a good PSP game based off of it thats basically just the Gundam Vs engine but with the characters from this in it, all chibi style.
A focus-group was set up to decide how to mark the site of massive radioactive waste dumps.
How do we warn off future generations/civilisations from these sites when the language/cultures may have changed so much as to be unrecognisable?
My avatar is one of the suggested "Nasty place, move along" landscapes that supposedly any culture will recognise as dangerous.
I have mine because I like comedy and believe that nothing is above being poked fun at. Especially religion. And there is a running joke with a friend of mine that he is Death and I am God. He is constantly complaining about the paperwork.
Mine is a Daemon Prince of Tzeentch that I painted, and that actually still looks good when scaled up many times larger than the actual model. Plus, it's red, so it works with my username, even though it has no beard (but I do).
Mine is the Athenian "little owl," a symbol of wisdom and philosophy and of the goddess Athena. It's the inspiration for the chapter badge of my Space Marines, the Star Owls, and is also a nod to my own interests in philosophy and justice.
Well Look at this I am gone for a whole night at commorgh! and this happens!!!
EF's preaching the false Emperor and now the secret of my avatar has been found!
And my public respounce to the Higurashi footage I see is!!!
Oh no, you got it all wrong. For Shadowbrand, MGS, Gwar! and SilverMk2 I would flame them on the spot (like in the picture). But for you Lord Loss, you get 'special' treatment.
EF:And here in our lovely interrogation rule we have everything available for a heretic like YOU. hor'duerves, immolation, tweezers, but most scary of all, the entire recorded album of BRITNEY SPEARS!!!
LL: NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
*I'm a Barbie Girl plays in the backround*
I've tended towards female avatars in the past to tie in with the name, I'll admit often slightly dodgy due to the whole Slaanesh thing.
However I've gone a little nostalgic of late regarding the World of Darkness so I'm curently sporting one of my fave characters from Vampire the Masquerade. The Lasombra, Lucita.

I'm a fan of mecha so get drawn to robots/gundam style pictures. Previous Avatar was a Forge World picture of a Crisis Suit with twin plasma rifles and a arm length shield.
Current pic is ... well, I think you can guess, especially when that film was pure awesome.
mine is just a looted rhino that i think turned out well for the five minutes ive been working on it.
This includes the 2 minutes i spent painting this. THANK YOU TANK BRUSH
I wanted to change my avatar but i just got use to it
My current one is Dr Doom sitting on his throne, with attendants and doombot's kneeling at his feet. On my phone its sized appropriately, but on the comp it looks a lot smaller...

Silly EF Worshiping a Corpse God.
Also Barbie Girl is by Aqua not Brittany Spears.
Now to be on topic, my avatar is my Halloween Avatar. Presented to me by GoFenris. After Halloween I will either go back to my old one or try to find a new one.
Its the same girl as the one holding the needle. XD
If you really wish to get down to it basically in a small Japanese town these murders happen and then there is this whole "curse" that makes everyone really paranoid. But this curse really just turns into the paranoia driving everyone insane namely this girl her twin sister and their best friends.
well my pic was me but i got a few PM's telling me to take it down, so i grabed a random from the pics on my computer. So you get upskirt anime until i can find something else.

Mine's GuyBrush Threepwood (Peanut for whoever knows who he is...), it was gonna be LeChuck but I couldn't resist the smile of Guybrush, who does look moderately similar to me!

Well the first few PM's said it "wasnt me" so i guess they thought i was telling fibbs, But the other 2 PM's after i posted my first Pink DE said it was "attention seeking" so i took it down, and went with the anime

See now I am really interested in seeing the original [I'm not an interwebz perv you understand, but certainly don't mind appearing as one!], you're not one of those deamonettes that keep geting deleted by the MODs?
My Avatar is a picture I posted on a OT Thread a little while ago to highlight the pre-eminant carnivore in the British Isles, it has no great meaning but does I think represent our this sceptred isle quite well - small, wet, smelly and rabid!
Whilst I'm not technically "au fait" with the webz I thought it was long past time to put a face to the name and so have spent all morning at work today getting this little image bashed into the computer gubbinz. Behold!! Dakka see my true face and quiver [and also know that I am NOT a furry], I'm just having a nose!

I havnt been deleted from a forum ever. And on all my other forums i have my pic as my avatar, i don't think it was actually a mod who PM'd me (if im incorrect please let me know) just other dakkites. And it wasn't a pervy pic, was just me looking all doe eyed in a pub....Is the pic i use coz it's out of character, i normaly look angry or very drunk. (not because i am it's just how i look lol) but in that pic i look innocent it's funny
Well I had the IW standard, and now it's Ragnar Blackmane. It tends to switch with which army of mine Im using at any given time. It will probably switch when I bust out my fantasy daemons or Eldar since that what I'm playing in the next few tournies.
Something about the face...it's kinda creepy but at the same time very memorable and striking. I like it a lot for those very reasons.
It's supposed to be some Italian comedian or something, and the actual cover's face and eyes would move if you pressed down on it or something like that, I don't remember.
They don't really Mean anything. They're 100 Kirbies from a web comic done by VGCats.com. I recently started a couple new forums, and started over the rotation from the beginning so they would all be in sync.
