well usually i dont have an avatar, but there was this avatar competision in which i got a tiger, then a 2nd tiger, but the first tiger was better then the 2nd so i switched back, but then the 2nd was better then the first, so i took the image i have now instead, which is not to bad imo.

edit: you forgot to answer you own question

My avatar is a self portrait done in paintshop with a mouse, it depicts me smoking a spliff and dreaming up ideas.

I forgot to answer the question.

One day, I was feeling . . . rebellious. So I did a Google image search for the Confederate flag. I did a little digital editing - specifically brightness, contrast, and gamma - to make it look a little better. And there ya have it! My avatar! And in case I change my current avatar in the future, here (http://sciforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3799&stc=1) it is for people to see.

And just kuz I'm bored, I'm gonna explain my two past avatars.

This (http://sciforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3385&stc=1) is the one I had just before my current one. I figured it was time for a change after I reached my 1000th post. A member of another message board gave me that picture, and I was so mesmerized by it, I hadta have it as my avatar! Unfortunately, it lost a bit of detail after the shrinking, but I figured it would still look good.

And this (http://sciforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3384&stc=1) is the ol' avatar I started with. Ya can see how much I like wolves! It was a picture I had on my computer, and I thought it looked kool. I decided to have it as my avatar. A little cropidy crop, a little resizidy resize, and there I had it!

Porfiry gave it to me because I was harshing his mellow with my previous avatar. I liked it and refuse to change it. My AIM icon is also this avatar.

Also I look like that guy :eek:

Hehe, as far as I remember you used Profiry's avatar, or am I mistaken?

Hey, at least you got an oversized one... but as I recall, you have bigger tits.

Mine is a fallen angel from a manga series. I believe this is the angel Arachne, who is male but poses and looks strikingly female. I'm not a tranny myself, but I do enjoy transforming my s/o into a pretty girl and then making love to him. When I was hunting for avatars, this one seemed to shine the brightest out of the others.

That's funny what you said about the finger mounted death beams, because a few of of the angels in the manga I was talking about had finger mounted astral-powered death beams.

I seem to have lost my original avatars, but I always had a monkey. It started of with a dancing monkey, but it gave 50% of the people who viewed it an epileptic fit.

Then I had a monkey face that was in the style of my website. But then I changed the look of my website and also had to change my avatar.

Then it looked something like this:
http://sciforums.*******************/monkey_eye_movement.gif

Of course then the classic debate on sciforums started in who was better? Ninjas or pirates?

Obviously pirates rule and ninjas are just geeks in pyamas. So i changed my avatar to a pirate monkey with a parrot.

The rules on animation weren't clear yet back then, so I made mine modestly animated.

Mine is the insignia of the 11th Assault Battalion/Stormtroopers of the Austro-Hungarian army which fought during World War One.

http://www.austro-hungarian-army.co.uk/badges/STA011a.jpg

The "Sturmtrupp" or "Sturmpatrouille" consisted regulary of 10 enlisted men and 1 leading NCO or officer.

They were equipped with the M95 Mannlicher carbine or short rifle, bayonet, trench knife, wire-cutters, entrenching tool and two sacks filled with hand-grenades bound together behind the neck and shoulders. NCO and officers had a pistol instead of the rifle.

Sturmtruppen, or Stormtroopers (also known as shock troops) were first employed by General Oskar von Hutier on the eastern front in September of 1917. Hutier's strategy involved bringing the sturmtruppen up to the front under cover of darkness, launching a fast and powerful artillery bombardment consisting of conventional explosives and gas. Waves of sturmtruppen would then assault weak points in the enemy line in a leapfrog manner.

Van Fanel from Escaflowne. It's anime. The character design is from the series, not the movie. That's about it, not too interesting.

Mine is to remind us that what we observer is often merely an illusion. Just as the Princess and the Old Hag are opposites, they are in reality the same from a different perspective.
