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.

**ChrisWWII**

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.

**Kouzuki**

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

**Stanley Rubric**

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

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

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

**keezus**

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.

**MagickalMemories**

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.

**Redbeard**

Mine is George, the squiggoth.

Maybe so, but that doesnt make it a bad movie. I love it!

**djphranq**

I think I forgot to say where mine is from... its from the comic WE3.

**Scott-S6**

An angry marine dispensing their own particular brand of chastisement to a heretic.

NICE GEORGE.

Mine is Pain.

**Boldred**

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

**Capt_Bowman**

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.

**Mike Noble**

Its Black Jack, my favorite manga.

**Ashrag**

Mine is Raistlin from Dragonlance.

**Gearhead**

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.

**Gorskar.da.Lost**

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

**Ratius**

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

**Flashman**

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

**Corey85**

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)

**Just Dave**

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...

Best (and most apt) explanation yet.

Never noticed that! Love the user name, now post more so I can fully appreciate it!

RiTides wrote: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!

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).

Below it is a Holiday Kroot to big to fit into an Avatar

**ted777ccg**

Mine is the greatest Sci-fi badass EVER.

**Mannahnin**

That Grinch Kroot is awesome!

As are several of the other avatars.

Me too!

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.

**perplexiti**

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

**Jubear**

Mine is a dude who has decided to ignore his duty as a soldier in favor of consuming beer.

So edgy and deep, desu.

My Dakka avatar is always Fran Madaraki from Franken Fran. Though on most other websites I post at I have this;

**Da Boss**

Mine is the caveman from Gary Larson's Far Side comics.
Why? I really couldn't tell you
