I have seen so many unique forums avatars around here, and I wanted to see what the really are.  I'll start; mine is from an episode of the alvin show from 1961, best cartoon ever (even simpsons). 

What are your avatars, guys?


EDIT: wow, this post was from when I had around 15 posts, at most.  Time has surely passed.
EDIT2: wow, this thread is almost one year old now!

Mine is Magikarp. It's the second most awesome Pokémon ever. (Metapod avatars are harder to make )

Alvin... I am sure I heard about this before... I watched some old cartoons as kid, but maybe not that one. I remember watching Bugs Bunny, for instance, and Asterix movies.

As for my avatar, it is the original Omnimaga logo from September 2001 (2.5 years before we got an actual website)

Mines a blank space. Blank spaces were invented in 1720 by a famous European artist named Eliahou von Starjenflag and gained popularity in North America during the Revolution.

After the events in Roswell, New Mexico involving UFOs, blank spaces became less prominent in daily life, as space travel and aliens became the main focus of most Americans.

They came back into the limelight shortly during the early years of Rock and Roll in the United States, but were ultimately overshadowed by Nirvana and Metallica, and slipped away into the shadows again.

I use a blank space as my avatar to show respect to the hard battles that blank spaces won and lost before they became obsolete. I believe that someday, blank spaces will have their time, and I will be there to witness the awesome power of...nothing.

That is all.

EDIT: The Game

How was that one made? Honestly, it's pretty ugly

It was made with Paint Shop Pro 5 for a school computer science intro class. Note that I barely had much computer knowledge at the time, though. The reason why I still use it as avatar today is for nostalgia purpose. The blue Omnimaga logo dates back in 2004.

self made logo of the abbreviation of my screenname: LC. Made using Paint.NET

Mine is a design for a computer game I was doing in XNA, but I quitted it, I still have all the files though, to come back on it one day...

a pretty little picture i drew(with a reference, because i lack imagination) to see how much shiny i could fit into on calc screen's worth of space. i was very bored at the time...

EDIT: oh, and hello there, alvin. i havent seen you around before (checks your posting record...) holy crap, 60 something posts in 2 days?
