Is my avatar too creepy and distracting to my fellow Dakkites? If so, I could try to find one that's a bit more subtle...after all, Alpharius quoted it as being "border-line psychotic".

Distracting.....check
Creepy.....check
Psychotic......check
It is your avatar but maybe if you tone it down a bit people wont be annoyed. Myself no big deal i feel you should have whatever dakka mods wont ban you for.

**FITZZ**

I like it.

**Wrexasaur**

Needs more boobs.

That point aside, I don't mind it, though it is mildly distracting.

There are several ways for people to not have to deal with your avatar, Adblock being the best option.

I wouldn't worry about it so much, let people do what they like.

Still needs more boobs though.

**FITZZ**

Hell,it should be more distracting...more boobs would be a good start...that and fire.
besides,life is full of "distractions" if someone can't remember what they had planned to type becuase they got distracted by an avatar then what they had to say proably wasn't important to begin with.

**sebster**

I like the art, though the video distortion is a bit cliche.

I don't really get creeped out by 50x50 images.

**Darth Bob**

FITZZ, I'm going to have to agree with you on that, but I suppose it might be time for a change...after all, I'm making the jump from Chaos to Tyranids...so perhaps a new avatar to commemorate the jump is in order.

*goes to search for an equally creepy avatar that may or may not be more/less distracting*

**Blokus**

Yours, MGS's, and Wrex's are the best on the forum.

**Commander Endova**

I'm just curious to know what it's from.

Your deepest, darkest nightmares.

**Commander Endova**

Nope. Those tend to involve arachnophobia and facets of my PTSD.

**Cheese Elemental**

It makes me want to punch babies.

**Karon**

Its actually made me want to contact you to tell you to change it, its extremely distracting when I'm reading dakka when you've posted to be honest.

**warpcrafter**

Moar blood!

**Darth Bob**

Well...that's it then, I've decided to change it.

Take note, I am changing it because I'm being nice, not because I feel pressured to do so. I just wanted to get a few honest opinions, and I did, and I think it's time for Scary Clown to hit the shelf, and join the ranks of the Avatar Hall of Fame

.

So say goodbye to the Scary Clown...and hello to the creepy little girl

.

P.S. If this one's too distracting, well...you're just going to have to deal or block it.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Hmm is that Dark Alessa? It looks like it, if so awesome pick, Jodelle Ferland was amazing in that role considering her age at the time.

**Kilkrazy**

I'm against all animated avatars except if they involve monkeys or a Japanese theme.

**Frazzled**

I liked the old avatar actually this one reminds me of an emo teenager trying to be Goth. Makes me want to get the stick with a nail in it and really give them something to be emo about (not really).

Now Empchild's avatar,THATS distracting, but in the good way.

**Deminyn**

Does your avatar make me want to have a seizure?

no...

The old one...

alittle bit

**Karon**

I like the new one, thanks mate ^.^

**Lord-Loss**

I dont mind it. Whats so scary about a picture on the internet?

**Darth Bob**

Yes, I'm pretty sure it is. If not it sure as hell looks like her.

**Shadowbrand**

Your dp turns me on.

Really.

**IvanTih**

Your avatar didn't distract me,but instead it triggered anger that was directed at that clown with stick on the avatar(every time I saw I would think about grabbing my sword and brutally mutilating that damn woman) and also I was thinking about charging to her and beating hell out of her with my bare hands.
