Evolution of an Avatar...

un1 · May 25, 2008, 08:17:02 AM

Since I have 800 posts at ST I have made my 1,000-1,500 avatar:
This one is a special one!
The only thing is that it is fairly small...

Yes, I am.

I've got most of Pratchett's books. But I've always liked that Death picture [the one I've got in my post]... it's pretty cool.

Here's a piece of trivia for you...Death is the only character to appear in all Discworld books except for The Wee Free Men (who are the single most hysterical creations of TPs since Sam Vimes).

So that makes Me, Barby, SA and Fred so far...We just need one more for a decent game of Cripple Mr Onion.

p.s. Fred, me you and Barby are going to bore the rest of them in July

Ok, so I've changed to this:

What do you think? I'm not sure, I quite liked the last one and it kinda became synonymous with me I think, but this is cool too. Its on a probationary period I think.

Lee, I have no idea what you're talking about, but it sounds fun! (Have I missed a really obvious one here?!)

Talk about OT! The mods around here, seriously...

Well my new avatar is also Death.

Yes I am also a DiscWorld fan. Only got to Wyrd Sisters.

does someone know the story behind the Goddess' Avatar?

BarbyW · May 27, 2008, 12:29:02 AM

My avatar started out without the BSC Globe and was one I picked from a set. Rubik3 added the globe in late 2004 and I have kept it ever since. No other story to it

bourneid made a couple of alternatives but I have lost those in assorted HD crashes. I don't see the need to change my avatar as so many people recognise it now.

Mine was stolen from a set at Pegs and modified to have a black helmet with the silver fern on it.

This is my cat. Photo taken 2001 with my first digital camera, amazing resolution of 320x200...the pic has *ahem* slight fuzziness which I find enhances the demonic look of the cat. I use this avatar on most forums I frequent.

Well no ones responded here for awhile but i like the idea!

My avatar is simply an old pink floyd concert poster altered a bit in photoshop. If you look close thats a little pink pig flying aroud one of the stacks of the Battersea Power Station in England. My tag below is stolen from the album cover being promoted from the same tour. Essentially they were the most inspirational band to me growing up and i love the grittiness of industrial landscape in photography.

Cheers.

"you cannot strike till the moment is right, without thinking....."

great album!

my normal set of avatars isn't typically acceptable on most forums, so i made this one specifically for SC4D. the city in which i live (Pittsburgh) has many historic bridges, which in many ways directly led to my current hobby of bridge BATing......so i pulled this avatar from a particularly famous bridge in my city that's still in use today, which is registered as a National Civil Engineering Landmark. it not likely anyone would recognize it (the avatar) unless you've actually walked across the bridge, but ist there to remind me that i still need to develop my skills before i can attempt to BAT that bridge.....

sort of, something to work towards....

The Top Gear logo became my avatar, because
1)I like Top Gear
2)I was too lazy to look for a pic of myself at the time

callagrafx · February 17, 2009, 10:04:26 AM

Heh, changed mine to Sam Vimes [Linkie]....everyone loves a cynic

Pat · February 17, 2009, 05:49:14 PM

I changed mine recently to the torch here as I wanted to try something a bit diffrent from the normal fire logos I normally have....

mightygoose · May 08, 2009, 05:38:37 AM

oh here is the latest incarnation of the goose avatar... the first of three flavours you may see over the next few months.

designed to commemorate the arrival of Simtropolis 6.0.

the citiesXL commemorative avatar is also in the works....
