View Full Version : What's Your Avatar About/Representing and Why Did You Pick It?

My avatar is just a picture of my Sim, Bronco. I picked it because he's my favorite Sim, and so far, he's the only Sim I've ever cared about when it comes to aging and dying. I try to keep him as young as possible, and make him breed with as many female Sims as he can find to pass on his genes. And while I already know he's not real, I still think he's smexy. :giggler:
So, what's your avatar's history?

when you said breed, I automatically thought animal lol.... :lol:
My avatar isn't a sim, idk when i make one i like as much as you like bronco, i might make it my avatar! :D Anyway, my avatar is a pic I drew for a friend, he really liked x-23 from marvel vs capcom 3, so he asked me to draw him a pic... i rather liked how it came out, but as i don't have a scanner the quality of the pic isn't awesome.... oh well! :)
so that's my avatar's story... :D

I really like Moss from IT Crowd. There's really no story behind it. I just needed an avatar and it appealed to me. Plus, it's friendly!
Edit: It is now the Silence from Doctor Who... just because. *shrug*

My avatar, a drawing of Chell, is the esoteric, silent protagonist of Portal and in the single-player campaign of Portal 2. Although Chell's origins are unknown, she was definitely among the people present during GLaDOS' activation in 200-, as GLaDOS locked down the facility immediately afterward; information revealed in Portal 2 implies that Chell was the child of an Aperture scientist and was touring the facility on Bring Your Daughter To Work Day when GLaDOS took over. According to the psychological profile in her personnel file, Chell is "abnormally stubborn" and refuses to ever give up, no matter how daunting the challenge.

My avatar is a picture of Barbara Gordon as Oracle. For those unfamiliar, she is a member of the Batman family. She is Jim Gordon's daughter and she used to be Batgirl until the Joker shot her, paralyzing her from the waist down. Now she feeds Batman and the rest of the Batman family their information, hacks into protected databases and sites to gather more information, and is generally an untouchable, nigh godlike figure in her ability to get things done with information and computers.
...She's awesome. :D

My avatar represents one of my personalities (Yes I have splits.) The "Freeman" As I called it, is the humorous yet sophisticated. Just like the sim made for this personality, Dr. S. Freeman, I have to change him up a bit, but. He works in the science career aswell as owns a local cafe down Terminal City.
I have a sudden feeling to clean my room.

Well, mine's probably pretty obvious. lol
Shockingly enough, I didn't even create it, but I have heavily edited it. The original one had lost a lot of quality to being uploaded to where it was or something like that.
I totally would have a Simself picture with a bassoon instead, but you know bassoons don't exist in The Sims world. :cry:

31st Aug 2011, 04:50 AM
actually, my avatar is completely unique, you cannot find it anywhere on the web except as my avatars.
The reason why is I made it myself. (by the way of gimp 2.0 and unfreez)
The reason it exists is because it was originally for a java applet, but I cut that project.
It is stored on my computer and I'll give it to anyone who wants it, just don't use it as your avatar.
PM me about it

I had a summer job at a high quality bakery. This is a close up of the first batch of "biskvier" I made all on my own.
The "biskvi" is one of the standard treats you will find in pretty much every Swedish café. On a chewy base of baked almond paste, you put chocolate buttercream. Then you coat the buttercream with dark chocolate. They are delicious, and the ones I learned to make at the bakery are the best I ever had.
Excuse me, I have to go inte the kitchen now. (***goes to check if there are enough almonds to make a batch right now***)

I thought this over again and again... what can I chose for my Avie? It had to be simple, yet complex. It needed to express the sarcastic and chaotic nature of me, with still adding a touch of humor. So I compromised.
Simple - Check
Sarcastic - sure... yeah.
Chaotic - whatever
Humor - none whatsoever.
Anyway, my siggie addresses the somewhat problematic aspect of... oh I give up. It leaves you no question who you are typing to. ME!!!! *muses to self* I need to have a avatar that leaves no question of the GENDER of me. One of my fave things to do on the internet is telling people the guy you have been talking to is female...
And there goes the fire station down the street. Sigh.

I love my avatar, it signifies the significance of the significant Other. With regard to the issue of content, the disjunctive perturbation of the spatial relationships visually and conceptually activates the essentially transitional quality, especially when conjoined within toxic pomposity of negative space. Ahhh... the iconicity of the Exploratory motifs visually and conceptually activates the essentially transitional quality, though I am troubled by how the internal dynamic of the biomorphic forms verges on codifying the accessibility of the work. I mean really, just try entering this work when the mechanical mark-making of the figurative-narrative line-space matrix spatially undermines the substructure of critical thinking and you'll see how difficult it is to conceptualize the inconceivable negativity of the Other.
Or possible, I just hate labels. Same thing really...

My avatar isn't actually an avatar but a logo. It represents me as a creator and hopefully one day people will see it and immediately think, "Oh, I know that logo. That's Morphead's work." I used to change it all the time as I got bored of it easily, but I was watermarking my creation uploads with it so decided to make something I could live with for a long time. After some time in Fw liked this one enough to keep it. I've been thinking about changing it, but I've still yet to research what consequences, if any, would arise from that.

My avatar is a picture of Aaliyah, an R&B singer who died in a plane crash at 22 years old. She was one of the first singers I actually idolized and I was very upset when I heard the news of her death. I chose to use her picture as my avatar because I think she was absolutely gorgeous, I still listen to her music frequently, and I always liked the fact that she played on her vocal strengths and understood her limits. Too many singers are eager to push their voices to the breaking point just so they can attempt to reach notes that are not possible for them, but Aaliyah accepted the fact that she had a very soft but smooth singing voice.

Mine is a quote (probably one of my fav lines ever) from a show I love, Red vs Blue.
It actually makes a lot of sense if you know the context (but is still hilarious as hell, especially given the way that it's delivered (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsvNlnAO7JI&feature=sh_e_se&list=SL); it starts at about 0:55 if you just want to skip to that part), and it actually makes sense applied to me, considering that I tend to have a lot of moments like that myself. Where something I say or do makes sense if you know the background/context, but, since most people don't (or I'm not able to properly explain for some reason) I end up sound like I'm a bit of a nut/a bit touched in the head.
Actually, I originally wanted my avatar to be something else, but couldn't find one, and I'm not good at making my own.
Either one of this Kate Beaton comic (http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=61) (specifically panel five, the "bloomers in the machine" bit), or a screenshot from another episode of Red vs Blue (the shot where Agent Washington is looking down at what the aliens have written in the sand, which is "Hyumans suck" and "Shisno" [show in-joke], with a frowning stick figure with stink lines coming off it, and an arrow pointing to Agent Washington).

(Honestly, though, I picked it because it made me laugh. If an avatar doesn't make me laugh, it doesn't go in my avatar spot. Not to mention it represents my vivid imagination and how I'm easily entertained by the simplest of things - like taking over the world with a rock. I did pick this avatar well before I started writing my Overlord Legacy...the legacy was a coincidence after the fact.)

Usually I pick dark/gothic/creepy/bloody/favorite badass character game avatar to wherever forum I'm on to match my username, my likeness to the dark/gothic/hardcore gaming world. Because this is Sims forum, to feel fit on it rather than to be looked quite 'disturbing', I picked one of my favorite Sim, Evrard Rochenoire.
He actually based on type of guy I personally found to be attractive in real life: nerdy, wearing thick-framed reading glasses, humorous and computer whiz at the same time. You can see his weird 'pouting' mouth pose on avatar.. I don't know why he looked like that when he was analyzing secret door in wine processor house basement in Champ Les Sims, France.. it is a rare sight. I picked weird expressions only to become avatar since I adore more advanced facial expressions feature in Sims 3 that inadvertently visible on each Sim doing particular activity, mood, trait, or even seeing dirty room spot in house. They are hilarious! :lol:
I made him in CAS without using any custom sliders. He's French, YA, as one of my characters to match in WA world feature, Champs Les Sims. I started played him as a broke grad student just came out from campus (continued him from Sims 2 story since Sims 3 has no University feature yet) wearing that stupid black and white strip polo shirt as you can see on my meme pictures posted on Sims 3 discussion forum elsewhere, renting the cheapest wooden house (cabin?) available you can find in Twinbrook near swamp, writing novel non-stop to keep his income up. He seemed has no life, lol. Until he frustrated, then seeking adventures to complete his journalist tasks, Champs Les Sims. He felt cultures there really fit to him, then has changed his life... forever. Now he's working as an undercover agent, moved to bigger house, dressing more elegant, still writing as fulfilling his passion, and has a girlfriend.

Not really (well, sometimes), but I love to watch sheep. They make me happy as does the bucolic scene. I relate more to being in the country than in the city and love images from farms as well as woods.

1. I love SpongeBob even though I'm probably too old for it.
2. Memes are unorignal yet still funny.
3. I get a thrill out of being honest with people. Yes, that's right, Tiffany, nobody cares that Kerry wore that same pair of shoes as you in the same week. Phfft.

You are never too old for the things you enjoy.

Mine is the self-sim I made of myself then lost when my M&G disk broke. It was the most accurate one I had ever made. :(

Mine is from a well known scene from a doujinshi, where Jessie and James, my OTP, (from Team Rocket, out of Pokemon) are kissing against a tree. Mime Junior is watching them, and then later in a battle he kisses the opposition's pokemon, because, apparently Mime Junior often mimics it's master. I used the picture of their legs because it's fairly subtle, so other Rocketshippers will get it, but it's not obviously 'Pokemony'.
I though it was a cute story, and I'm a massive Rocketshipper, so it's my avatar on 90% of the websites I use.

I actually used this as my personal background on my PlayStation 3 system, and I quite liked it a lot so I decided to make a smaller forum avatar of it.

I changed mine to a meme. It resembles my attitude towards my school

I chose mine because I absolutely love the radish spirit from Spirited Away. :D I really really wanted to have a GIF of him dancing but it was too big a file (I love his dance!). But just having his picture is very nice as well. :)

Mine is a mafioso sim I made in 2009 when TS3 came out because I was watching Sopranos at the time and thought it would be fun to make a creepy mob boss sim. I was a big fan of the character "Paulie Walnuts" Gualtieri so I wanted to make him look like Tony Sirico, but there was no similar hair so I just made a sim and gave him a Tony Sirico-esque frowny face.
Never got around to changing it because I don't know what I would change it to. I've made a lot of female sims I think are really cute and thought I could use them instead, but then decided against it because I don't need lonely guys thinking it's a self-sim and PM me asking to video chat or hook up. So I just left it my mafia dude and I do still love his frowny face.

^^You drew that? I want your skills!
Mine's Chris Pohl, lead singer of several favourite bands of mine, including BlutEngel. :3
Late reply, I know, but thanks! Yes, I did draw that! I must confess that I did (and frequently still do) steal the idea from an artist of much higher caliber than myself :lol: well, multiple artists. But it seems to be a common enough trend XD

Mine is Cadis Etrama Di Raizel, Protagonist of my favorite webtoon Noblesse. I chose it because he is made of awesome, and there wasn't one with his faithful servant Frankenstein.

Mine is a drawing of Mayhem, one of an electro music guy's pseudonyms. I'm using it because the music is awesome, I love the artist's work, and uh, I'm already using this icon on another sims forum. :V
