Title: Why is your avatar your avatar?


officer_fujita - May 29, 2003 05:59 PM (GMT)
Mine is one of The Twins from Matrix Reloaded. They're my favorite characters as of the moment. I cropped the eyes off so it'll look a bit like the teaser posters WB put up weeks before the film was shown.

I like Meiko's avatar! It reminds me of the artist Falcoon, since the style is almost identical... here's a sample

Hello, fellow vampire. ^.^

At the moment, I made my avatar to look like a stamp of Sakura and Shaoran, in honor of their resurrection in CLAMP's latest manga titled "Tsubasa".

I decided to change my temporary avatar since it reminds people of a certain "Game ka na ba?" hostess... --; Will repeat: WE DO NOT LOOK ALIKE.

Awwww.... and i wanted my Avatar to be Bad Boy Robin Padilla so we can be partners. :lol: ROFL!!! :lol:

Anyways...

I like the american cartoon THE IRON GIANT because it of the early 50's Deco Art-inspired robot design, which i am a complete sucker for these art concepts cuz i LOVE early Sci-Fi B-Movies.

I chose this scene from The Iron Giant because even for a cartoon, this touched me the most. ;_;

Yowzer.

uh..JM, I couldnt see the pic you posted. Hmm..minamic, I dont remember the avatar you're talking about. ^^;;

Anyways, my avatar is Rogue. I just customized one of her animated gifs from the capcom games in PS. I used her because of my username. And I think that it's cute ^_^

Ganda naman ng mga artworks ni Falcoon!

Ida is the character I cosplayed last AQ2003. Sinusunod ko lang ang payo ni "El Presidente" na gamitin ang pangalan at lagyan ng "Isang Dakilang Cosplayer" kasi wala namang kokontra!!! Joke lang! XD

Seriously, I'm still hooked on the Shaider-bug and since last AQ it already has sentimental value for me. Pagsasawaan ko muna ito bago ko palitan.

And at least people get an idea of who I am right?

Hwow! :o *flattered* Thanks! :D I saw the sample images and they're AWESOME! I wish I could draw like that! ;_;

Here is where I got my avatar. It's part of the Girl! Girl! Girl! website that we're required to review for our next big project (we are making avatars for Japan and Korea). I can't read the text coz they're mostly in kanji so I dunno who the artist is... <_<

I chose this avatar because it's really simple yet it looks so alive. Plus, it's "nameless" so I can name it after me! Mwahahahaaa! :lol:

my avatar is senator amidala...
because i feel i look like natalie portman....ROFL <sabay takbo>

Mine is Culgan from Suikoden II. Two words: Bonafide Badass-ism. Ok, that term sucks but in a word, he's one of the coolest videogame characters on my mind right now.

My fave avatar in this forum would have to be Doc Fujita's. Looks really stylish.

Believe me when I say: That's a good thing. ^.^

Will spare us the Robin Padilla-avatars, at least. --; *raises eyebrow at eva_guy*

But if you're curious, check out the userpics in my LJ. *points to link in sig* :) It's the only one that isn't anime-themed. (I beg you, please tell me I don't look like her???? *goes down on her knees* ;_; )

Ryanclive: JM's avatar has a partner. Look at Joan's. ^_^ I forgot her username but I think she posted in the newbies forum.

acewildgal - May 30, 2003 06:09 AM (GMT)
im a sucker for any fantasy theme-d thing. i was actually thinking about going as carla from lodoss wars for anime quest...kaso di ko forte ang jewelry making. plus it goes with my demoness title XD

~reminded me of my arislan marathon... :D

Rikku Rose - May 30, 2003 06:38 AM (GMT)

um..this is embarrassing, but I couldnt find the pic you're talking about --;

Hey I have an idea, why dont you post a link to your real pic and the pic of the person you're talking about (is it Kris Aquino? ) ^^;;;;

Avatar ko si Tasuki. Wala na kasi akong mahanap na iba. Besides, nakilala ako sa mga ML bilang si Tasuki. Gusto ko rin kasi yung ugali nya. :)

Dark_MooN - June 1, 2003 03:10 AM (GMT)
una kong avatar, i made it dahil vain ako at idol ko si death hehe
my current avatar, i cut a picture of my eye and edited it in paint (dahil olatz walang photoshop dito -.-) and added my chuvaloo poem and favorite quote. hehe

Girl, you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO do NOT look like the "Game Ka Na Ba?" hostess!!! :angry: <is genuinely horrified>

I had a classmate in high school who looked a LOT like her ... and she always impersonated her (she was GAME to impersonate her though... --; ), which prompted the teacher to remark that she remembered when Ms. Hostess was HER student ... imagine THAT. :o I come from the school where Ms. Hostess spent most of her Philippine academic life in so I should know. -__-

By the way, I lifted the avatar I have right now from a KFClubber who made it for HER page. ~_________________~ Check it out here! (Sorry for plugging but please check out the rest of her site as well... :P)

PS Hazel-chan, I don't know what possessed you but you're freaking me out! :o ;_; <runs like a frightened un-Haruka baby>

Yeah! That one too, Joan's Persephone avy. Looks stylish as well.

Im just glad nobody uses implausible avatars such as "Ka Eli" of "Ang Huling Daan" or Ernie Baron. Ive been to anime forums where people use avatars of these celebrities just for tripping purposes.

Hmn... that's a feasible idea... :)

My avatar is Yukino from Karekano. That's because I consider her my alter ego XD ... and i like the series a lot too. Though I'm no red head, and my hair is pretty much longer than that.

I like Meiko's av too. Love the drawing style. I immediately got curious about Meiko's av.

kuro-panda - June 4, 2003 11:32 AM (GMT)
*pa-cute epek*

;) fave anime ko as of now ang chobits. parang ganoon kasi rin ang mutal feeling namin ni ken in regards to the storyline.

Dark_MooN - June 6, 2003 03:24 AM (GMT)

skyjade - June 10, 2003 10:12 AM (GMT)
As for my avatar (since we're all in a Matrix-ey mood) is a screenshot of Jue in the fighting scene of The Final Flight of the Osiris. ^_^ Credit goes to Toby for taking the time to do screenshots. :D


hideto matsumoto - June 10, 2003 01:54 PM (GMT)

Keisuke - June 10, 2003 02:17 PM (GMT)
Jacques from Suikoden III...antisocial.

*glomp-kiss-claim*

Shugo_Kunisaki - June 11, 2003 10:51 AM (GMT)
mm. Syaoran // Tsubasa. Reason? Uh. Hmm. Antisocial din, suplado, torpe at tahimik.

Shugo_Kunisaki - June 11, 2003 10:52 AM (GMT)
...sabay nawala ang dakilang avatar.

KasumiWaterflower - June 12, 2003 09:13 AM (GMT)

I really like Yuna from x2.

She looks so witty and adventurous, at the same time, all girly XD

Maybe in a week or so I'll change it again..
