So Dakka,

Here is the space to explain what in the world you avatar is or means.

Mine is Scruffy. The janitor.

It's Summer Glau in a santa hat.

101 Kirbies. It used to only be 100 Kirbies, but then I made my own Holiday one to add to the mix.

KalashniKitty, what could be happier than hello kitty with an AK?

Mine is Evil the Cat!

An Invisble Cookie for the guy or gal who tells me where its from XD?

I Decided to slap an Xmas hat and some mistletoe on his tail

Merry Christmas Peepz XD!

Earthworm Jim, duh.

Blast.

its in the Post.

Mines Darth Bane

My avatar is a can of Diet Dr. Pepper, because I drink a lot of it. The picture below is the tower of empty cans I superglued together during an army in a weekend challenge.

A space wolf. the bigger picture has his wench and wolf!

Wow, MegaDave... that's quite impressive!

Mine's a tree model that I found online and loved, although I plan to replace it with a troll soon... and hopefully a troll of my own painting soon thereafter!

Wow, MegaDave... that's quite impressive!

Well it was accomplished over 66 hours with no sleep whatsoever... It was the only way I could stay awake! All my buddies were taking bets on when I would die from sleep deprivation and caffeine overload...

I like your little tree guy, I think I might be sad if you change it! :(

Just Zoidberg. I enjoy hearing myself talk, and most people just kind of ignore me. It's all good.

He goes where he pleases and he pleases where he goes.

My ork Warboss.

Me.

Hooray.

A marine of my Dark Angels successor chapter.

Ifurita, demon goddess of Roshtaria (from the series El-Hazard)

A quick thing I thought looked cool that I made up in about 5min in the gimp

Mine is the guy that carried the movie Tombstone. Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday.

"Doesn't anyone play for blood anymore?!?!"

<--"I'm your huckleberry..."

My avatar is a happy Jack O Lantern.
It has a santa hat over the holidays.

Toon Link from Wind waker. I use his look for my online personna and have actualy drawn him as a Chaos Dwarf and am working on him as a Ork.

Marvel Comics Copy Power Merc, Taskmaster (udons run)

Happy little trees

Terrifying.

Lara Croft... currently in a hat for the xmas period.

Its an image of me heavily photoshopped by my friend.

Mine is by an artist called Patrick Nagel (He's dead now, died years ago at the age of 38 from a Heart Attack. Used to do art for Playboy and a bunch of other magazines). His stuff has appeared in quite a few movies (wall art) or even been referenced in cartoons (Futurama).

It's from a triptych of ads he did for "Lucky strike" cigarettes.
It's just a guy in a suit and long coat giving a "and your point is?" look.

I like his artwork.

I've seen your avatar on here before and gave you many a brofist. Great movie, Kilmer's best acting. Sadly, life has got the best of him lately;


"I'm your huckleberry....pie...eater"




My avatar is Raptor Jesus wearing a claus hat. He went extinct for your sins, so he could return at his extinction date every year to give the good little capitalists big shiny electronic presents. That last sentence was delicious to type, I really did enjoy it.

Mine's Alex Delarge from the novel/film A Clockwork Orange. Fantastic book, would definitely recommend it.

Mine is a close up of a melta-gunner from my Praetorian army.

The main character from the manga series Yotsuba!, who's name is the same as the series.

She also has Dakka's monthly avatar memes thrown on to her terrifying "rape face" visage (excluding December's Santa hat)

Mine is a flying pig. SHould probably be putting a hat on him soon.

Mine is Commissar Calgar.

In 3D.

Catechol oxidase If I remember correctly...

The symbol from: Wolf Guy, Wolfen Crest.

Hang-on... is this not the cover art from DeathTrap Dungeon? YES! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deathtrap_Dungeon!! Awesome.

Mine is simply a Plague Marine I painted that I was happy with. I may need a change soon.

Either a Happy Grunt or Scorch from Republic Commando.
..........................................................^PLAY THIS GAME!

Ironhide from the original Transformers series. I even made my chapter colors resemble his beacuse, he's simply too awesome

My Zombatar that I made for Plants vs. Zombies: Game of the Year Edition. I'm not sure how I picked his exact features, I just know that the mustache they had in there was awesome.

It's me, sorry for not being very exciting.

That looks like it came from the cover of an Eldar novel... I don't remember the name but it looks cool.

The most excellent and majestic Dr. Teeth, from da Muppets.

My cat Tenebrae (gorgeous Maine Coone*) sporting his festive hat!

*Yes, I know it's misspelled. Forum Posting Rules say no to the proper spelling.

I can't quite remember the exact .PDF file I got mine from. I think it was one GW gave out that talked about the special rules for the unique Tyranid monsters from an old white dwarf issue. It is basically a revamped "page break" icon/symbol thingy they placed between the stories of two monsters to separate them.

A ginger kitten I used to have with the colour inverted. I thought it looked cool and was getting bored of the Wall-E avatars I've had lately.

Fire Emblem. Which one, idk (the 2D ones all look the same)

Mine is a really cool piece of Ultramarines artwork someone had linked in a blog as "A really cool piece of ultramarines artwork." Then my friend added my handle to the bottom.

A list of all my past avatars:
- Random Chaos Theory artwork
- Banner of the Black Legion
- Assassin's Creed symbol
Current

Same place Alpharius got his I presume.

Mine is basically a graphic of my forum name. It's also carved into my battlefoam.

Its a drawing of myself that I played around with in photoshop.

No probs. I have a print of "sunglasses" (foil lenses) on my wall and a screensaver of his work playing on the screen occasionally (when the comp goes inactive).

Bulbasaur!

I'm think about changing it to something more personalised. Something to do with a Wolf or a Hellhound or something suitably Grimm.

Just an eye I painted some time ago, I use it on my real life business card, so why not my online one?

Richie "Baumer" Tenenbaum from the movie The Royal Tenenbaums

What a horribly pointless movie full of great talent...

Mine is Japanese for Zero

Davy Jones, yarr!

Mine is a doom siren from the FoK beta mod of Dark Crusade (makes the game a heck of alot more like the table top, like giving chaos cult troops, for example) Sadly i cant link to FoK, as i got it from a friend who got it from a friend, so i have no idea where it comes from

Mine is a random pic of Captain Darnath Lysander I found via google. Considering changing it to a pic of Max Tracker I have from MASK.

Mine is cake ...

Mine is a Killzone Helghast rifleman that I filtered a bit. Since my Guard army is made up of Helghast pastiches, I figured it was appropriate.

Mines a rat with a teddy!! IT HAS A TEDDY!!! Awww.

Look at it GW. This is what a skaven should look like. Give or take the teddy.

Id have 2 chicks getting it on but Dakka won't let me. Stupid Dakka.

Mine is just the symbol of the Global Defense Initiative from Command and Conquer. I want to make the symbol of my planet my avatar, but until then....this'll do.

Ring that I own, made by Square-Enix based off of Cloud's insignia in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

As per my user name, it is a photo-shopped pic of both Ahriman and Stanley Kubrick. :-)

I like the rat with a teddy bear, I use it over at The Sims Resource.

Many years ago, a friend bet me that Kroot could not be pink AND awesome at the same time. I begged to differ. Saddly, that Kroot never did get finished though.

Mine is Troll from the awesome PVP online comic strip.
In the strip, he was dancing around and this was one of the images.
I chose it because I like Troll and... I'm known for my room-clearing flatulence.

Mine is George, the squiggoth.

Mine is Pain.

Mine is "The Condotierri" by Da Vinci. A mercenary captain.

Meerkat P.I.

Taken from the web-comic Three Panel Soul and used as a character in a game of Toon earlier this year. May later be replaced with S.W.A.T. Bunny from the same if I get bored with this one.

Its Black Jack, my favorite manga.

Mine is Raistlin from Dragonlance.

Mine's a sketch by Craig Mullins. It's a guy in heavy power armor, leaning against a wall and reading a paperback. Stick me in power armor and that's exactly what I'd do!

I can't link to the full-sized original, since he's got some interactive Flash gallery now, but here's the website:

http://www.goodbrush.com/

It's in the "Finished Sketches" section.

Mine is (and are) various velociraptors.
This one is their Santa.
There are others. It changes according to season and/or preference.

Mine is a polar bear feeling very much like I do most Monday mornings.

A photo of a mini Charge of the Light Brigade reconstruction that was carried out at Balaklava on the 150th anniversary. Charge!

Hunter Rose, the original reason I got into comics, and still my favorite book of all time. (Grendel: Black, White, and Red, and Red, White and Black)

Mine is - and always is - a character from Monkey Island. Typically Guybrush as he's cool, easy to get photos of and actually looks kind of like me. However, it can change according to mood/season and is typically from the 3rd game as it was my favourite and easiest on the eyes. Trying to get a good avatar from the 1st or 2nd games is really difficult I find...

Actually it is an old Ral Partha model (11-493) of a D&D monster called Shambling Mound (not a tree, but something like a plant golem)

Mine is the GD miniature of Anghkor Prok, the Tau shaper who sealed the Tau-Kroot alliance and first Kroot to lead a Tau army (miniature not painted by me but found on the internet).

My avatar is a road sign I passed in Northern Greece. It denotes that you are leaving the town of Drama. However, in the US we also use a diagonal red slash on roadsigns to indicate that a thing is forbidden; such as stopping on train tracks, or other things. In this case the sign to me indicates that drama is forbidden, or the succinct "No Drama" (a phrase popularized in a few Hip Hop songs). A good rule for life in general, and internet forums in particular.

Insaniak has done me the great courtesy of photoshopping two different versions of the photo for me for the holidays; one with a wreath hung on it, and one with a santa hat. I'm rotating them every couple of days.

Mines my zombietar at the moment, although I have had the evil monkey from family guy and a space wolf termie as well.

Mine is a picture of me taken a few years back around Halloween. Crappy lighting and random timing led to a bit of interesting motion blur. I felt naked without an avatar, so I just cropped the original and threw it up as a replacement after I was asked to remove my previous avatar (very subtle in its inappropriateness - both I and the mod who contacted me were surprised that there was a complaint in the first place, but since there was, I complied).

My avatars tend to be along the theme of the Imperium's fighting women, currently a Vostroyan Guardswoman. I love those ladies in uniform and wish GW would add a few to their IG sprues, they do it for Eldar, why not the emperors hammer?

Mine is just a bear saying hi. I used to use it on other sites or for Twitter or something, I think it got dyed green during the Iranian election thing (and then got imported to Dakka during an Ork phase, I suppose?)

The ending to System Shock 2 was one of the most jarring things I've ever come across. It's just so... wrong, that suddenly you lose control of your character, and are presented with yourself in third-person, and given voice, having spent the game mute. Really, really cheapened it for me.

But, otherwise, a brilliant game. As was the original, though it was perhaps less timeless.
