Mines from the start of the fight between Shira and Magatsu in the Blade of the Imortal manga. Awesome fight BTW.

It's a penguin on depressants. I drew it on photoshop (free hand, with mouse) when I was bored at work years ago.

I don't know if anyone else has this, but I've always envisioned a third party living in my mind that is responsible for a large number of functions, including memory organization, and it's truly an avatar in nature. If I'm sleepy so is it, at least as far as my imagination is concerned ;)

Well, years and years after envisioning this thing, I found out that it very closely resembles a Necrodoodle from HoL (Human Occupied Landfill, a very funny table top RPG), though not quite as vicious or clawed -_^

My avatar is my awesome photoshop skills at work drawing this imagination of my minds inner workings. I always envision it living in this doored cave (think a messy hobbit hole), and if it opens the door, all I see are red glowing eyes, and perhaps a smirk, or frown, or whatever. The funny thing? I leave this imaginary creature ambiguous even to myself. I don't know if it's a formless shadow being, big and harry, or a colony of little insets that are playing with big red lightbulbs. Your guess is as good as mine. ^_^

Ok, now you guys know exactly how insane I am. Enjoy.

cant remember where I got mine. It was years ago and probably from penny-arcade but it sums up me as a person. 16-bit childhood. I have very fond memories from the 16-bit era as the Super Nintendo was the first console I ever bought.

aaaah I see the full avatar is not visible. At the bottom of the pic it says "16-bit childhood" 8)

I just went and changed mine. Some Chinese singer. I think it's HeJie. She has a weird nose.

Used to be YuHeng, a Chinese-Malaysian songwriter/singer.

At the moment, mine is sort of a caricature of God shaking hands with a young person. In the full picture he is saying "Forget what you thought about Heaven, this shit will blow your mind."

It made me laugh.

I've also used:

The album art for Rage Against the Machine's first album. I'll probably change back to this one soon.

and

A photo of a person with a sign. If you can't read it it says "Keep your coins I want change."

It's a knight dude from Secret of Mana for the SNES. Generally badass looking.

I wondered where that sprite is from, it looked like something out of a Final Fantasy game. He looks more like a Ninja to me.

Kirby, which is short for Kirbins. Kirbins was a great knight in the 14th century. His ability to steal and readily employ his enemies weapons is justly celebrated, as his slightly gruesome tendency to devour his opponents.

He is a Dark Stalker, according to the bestiary. :)
