Hello,
There are so many avatars in these forums, and each has a story to tell. I've started this thread to document what each person's avatar means. Post your description of why you chose it and how it represents you on the forum below.
A model description:
I chose a Penguin for my Avatar because I liked penguins when I started this forum account- I had just stopped playing Club Penguin a year before (come on, I was 11!). The avatar itself was a gift from my former squadmate NEARY, who was the CO of the first real squadron I've joined. It was an all-kid squadron, and when he saw that I didn't have an avatar, he sent me the photo. It's my only memory of him now.
-Penguin
-
I chose a fruity-looking dancing spiderman because at the time a lot of people were really bent out of shape trying to pick the perfect avatar, or complaining about other people's avatars. So when I saw this one it was so stupidly funny I picked it. I haven't had any reason to change it since.

That's a nice bird. I'll probably stick to spidey though :)
I thought of changing it to a badazz pic I have of my firebird during an autocross race, but that would take a bit of work. So I probably won't.

Its the nose art from 421 "red Indian" Sqn RCAF second world war. Been my avatar for over 10 years and unlikely to change.
I served with 421 Sqn in the 80's stationed at Baden Baden Germany. 421 was the longest standing deployed RCAF Sqn. It spent less than 2 years in Canada in its entire history from birth in April 1942 until disbandment in July 1992. 421 was also always a fighter squadron.
If I recall correctly the actual nose art was derived from the Frontenac Oil Company logo.
A proud history.

Larry made this for me three or four years ago.

Been nicknamed "Snoopy" for many years, was HdBgl (Head Beagle) in Air Warrior. Was a member of the 555th Fighter/Bomber Squadron. I advanced up the ranks to XO and the CO, NV555, Tim Filson, insisted I change my handle to include 555, as all other squadies had to do, so kept Head Beagle in the guise of HB555. Kept the name when I found Aces High, but had to post a picture of the "real" Head Beagle.
-
Originally i had a p38, due to it being my favorite ww2 aircraft.
Now i Have Kratos, Im a big fan of the God of War series.
Plus I entered a ps3 tournament for #1 Kratos of Mortal Kombat and won, it was cool meeting ed boone.
The God of War conquers all.

I made mine for the squad. Nothing says "BADASS" like a preggo horse!
-
I made mine just a few weeks ago... We were having our typical FSO banter on channel. Somehow I ended up threatening to make up some new squad art for us, because nothing would be scarrier than a squadron diving down on you w/ Fat Chicks on Unicorns emblazoned across the nose. So, I said I'd do it... and I did it.
Unfortunately, I'm not tallented and can't make a cool animated gif... but it's amazing what google images and a lifetimes worth of screwing around in MSPaint can accomplish.

Until some overly sensitive pansy had a cry about it.

Robert E. Lee, one of the greatest men of all time.

Yes, that's Jak in my avatar. :)
Jak 3 is still one of my favorite games. I think it's a great story: While Jak is battling to save his planet, he has no idea that he's actually the legendary time-warrior Mar, who created that planet later in his life before he was born, somehow...
So I've always imagined that Mar means "Creator and Defender of Worlds."
Call me crazy.
Please.
This Dark Eco needs to be released somewhere. :devil
In the end it doesn't matter what you think, that avatar is going to be there for a long time.

My first kill was by using the pintle gun on the panzer. Have never been able to do it since...
Also, Avatar is a picture of me. Guy Fawkes mask with goggles thrown in for a little flying spirit.

My nickname came both from the bowhunting company and from a mouse character my wife found in a line of rubber stamps. The avatar is from a graphic novel called Mouse Guard, which is surprisingly badass:
(http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j89/ChpGLCorps/David-Petersen-Mouse-Guard-4.jpg)
Yes that owl is in a world of hurt.
Since I'm a bit of an armchair strategist and recently started wearing glasses, I thought the image kind of fit.
-
I ran across the pic in a random search and it was perfect. Some country band from New Zealand I never heard of.

Pretty simple. They are all related to things I have done or am doing now. In two of the pix, I retired from careers in each. The third is a pic of the same model aircraft I owned for over 10 years and the one that prompted me to get my A&P as well. I worked on small AC until the wife was able to retire then we moved into the RV rig behind my 13' tall P/U pictured in the last one. We are now constantly on the road and wherever we park is home.

I made my short animation when i signed up for the forum because I thought I was cool. Now everyone has animated avatars.

Hello,

I made mine. I am part of the Blue Knights, so I found an image of a knight, removed the detail, changed the colour to blue, added transparency, created a background by making lots of blue dots - then motion blurred them in photoshop, made lots of images after dragging the background down to look like rain falling, combined them into a .gif image to make a blue knight in a storm.... Kinda like how I always found myself in a storm surrounded by bad guys in AH :)

Mine is simple... It's a Jawa.. Jawas are junk collectors.. The 80th's Jawas roam the great wastes of the EW, MW, and LW arenas in their heavily armored and perked sand crawlers scouring the virtual landscapes of AH for random 38 parts...
