Besides my own (of course I like it, I picked it afterall), I think SBX has the best Avatar on the board. Here is my reasoning:

1. Its WoT related on a WoT board.

2. He's kept with it for years and years (I've never seen another one in the 4.5 years I've been here.

3. It moves!!!

Wow, I think the contest is over. You sealed it for him there. The only way the case for it could get stronger is if he came on and explained it had a deeply personal connection to him as well. :D

Its the moving Age of Legends AS symbol (i.e. Yin/Yang)...I've always thought it was cool looking. I like Brita's as well and I loved when Frenzy had the Hobbs one.

i've always looked at the names anyways.

what was callandors? i mean what IS callandors? or is "was" correct since he probably hasnt made an account for the new board?

He's got an account and has even posted once or twice but I have no idea what his avatar actually is.

i just recalled it was a little "almost southparkish looking" japanese guy with a slick mustache with some weird make-up on it's face. i'd have to look it up to know for sure... it was short i recall whatever it was.

I found it on the yuku board:
http://www3.sympatico.ca/wellskanata/Callandor.jpg

I was just imagining the whole thing and not just the head... and that the red lense thing was make up but i had the mustache right in my mind and I couldnt decide if it had a hat on or not... guess it does :)

What is it, exactly? Or rather, who is it supposed to be?

NargsBrood
07-11-2008, 10:54 AM
i imagine it is someone from his favorite obscure japanese cartoon :) i'm sure someone around here may know. if not... would it be worth bugging callandor and asking him? or would he be offended we're trying to make contact? anyone know him very well since he left?

PD - your's looks like white dragons? It is very small for me to see correctly but if white dragons it is... why white? :) does it change with your mood? are you feeling exceptionly well today? or this week?

or is it a black and white picture of a purple dragon?

Callandor's avatar was something I found a few years back. It was an avatar generator. It gave you a head that you could change and customize, add stuff to. I made one for myself at the same time and still have it.

As for the avatar I use, nah, no deep personal reasons. I found it while searching for WoT stuff, sometime back in the late 90s. Found it, loved it, and when TL came around with avatars I used it myself.

A quick look around t3h intarwebz gives this link (http://www.eigenspace.net/wot/as_ani.html) which credits the original creators.

i liked Rune's avatar with the smiley getting squished by the red-x dead image icon. That was funny.

Sei'taer's is just disturbing.

A hillbilly with swords is disturbing?

I wish I still had my rabbit avatar! I loved that thing. Maybe someday I'll go try to find it again. It moves and everything.

I don't see ST with any avatar.

Birgitte

I think mine's the coolest avatar. ~pouts~ Though Sini the Flaming Girl is pretty entertaining. lol

And I don't see Taer's either.

I cannot remember who's it was, but I liked this one from the unmentionable place.

It usually gave me a laugh.

I think it was Anayia's or Ishara's...

you guys 'member when I pissed you all off and to piss you off more I changed my avatar to a festering sore of a (if i recall correctly) lower female body part? Tam was forced to force me to change it :P

and I have a slight obsession with tux in different shapes and forms (I found that tux comes in every outfit thinkable, and if it doesn't, you can easily find someone to make you one)..

what's disturbing, sei'taer, is the thought of a hillbilly with enough intelligence & skill to weild a sword. :lol

and the light saber dildo joke was done in that Comedy Central show Drawn Together. there's an image of it on the wikipedia site for Foxxy Love.

Yeah, that tripped me up too. Messing up my English... :D

Bryan Blaire
07-12-2008, 08:41 PM
Actually, that was incarnation one of Bryan. Which mostly means I modified his eyes to be more Wolfbrother-ish, but didn't remove the scar, shorten the hair, or put the damn cutting edge on the proper side of the katana. Stoooopid reversed cutting edge side idea. If you want a blunt weapon that won't kill people but works almost the same, just use bokken (a LOT of bokken) or buy a freakin' blunt sword (like an aluminum one! - yeah, I know, didn't exist at the time the story supposedly happened).

Anyway... drinking + chain of consciousness writing = BAD...

:D

Buh'bye now.

Edit: On another note, I like Camel's push-up cat. It's almost motivational. It's like "Hey, look, that kitten isn't a little bitch, get down and push, you pansy!" I like it a lot.

Ahh- so this thread is the one that inspired all the avatar changes. I was gone for a couple of weeks and when I come back the whole world has turned upside down. Everyone's avatar is changed or switched...it's hard enough to catch up one the recent events, never mind always having to re-check who the poster is (I always go by avatars too, if there is one).
