Best Avatars

[Mithalwen]

Well fond as I am of the prof I shall now have save my wistful sighs for the Hugh Jackman Avatar ..... nominated HarrisonFord-stitute.......

[Morsul the Dark]

well seeing all the fuss over fordim's avvie I went hhunting and found it in the memberlist, let me add my fuss to the party, that is an awesome avvie I like it

High Five! "holds out hand waiting"

[Gil-Galad]

guess your gonna be left hanging...

[Imladris]

I would like to give my nominations to the BW, newly dubbed Night In Wight Satin, for one of the most interesting avatars ever. A 64 pixels by 64 pixels white square. *dramatic pause* Sheer brilliance. I can't help but think that it's a play on his PT... In all seriousness, I really do find it interesting for the mere simplicity of it.

[Fordim Hedgethistle]

Point well taken Mark re: my audacity. I did pause for quite a long time before finally deciding to go with "the man himself." Needless to say, this is in homage rather than comparison!

Besides, with the new school year starting soon I'm feeling rather professory these days. . .

EDIT: I'm with you Imladris, the Wight has surpassed us all. Sheer brilliance.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Were you listening closely, Eomer? Did you hear the sigh of relief when I spotted your Rohirrickly awesome face below your name again? I always did have trouble connecting Bob with your name... if only I could find a Feanor avatar. That would be so nice... *sigh*

For other avvies: very nice Fordim, although I must say I miss Doctor Jones. Eswen, yours is... interesting. I haven't developed much of an opinion on it yet, but it caught my eye. And for his sheer brilliance, all hail His Supreme Wightness. May no splotch ever mar thee. And all that sort of thing.

I knew I forgot something crucial: A message to Morsul: A little bit of wiseness now and then is cherished by the nonsensical men. Wait... strike that... reverse it.

have you tried searching with Google's picture search? I found some pictures of Feanor there, although I don't know what kind of a picture you are looking for.

oh, and I like E.Fester's Skeletor avatar.

[Sleepy Ranger]

I've always liked Evisse the 'Pink Fluffy Bunny' Blue's avatar. The simplicity and beauty of a rose. Magnificent, simply mind boggling.

[InklingElf]

I can't believe how many things change after just a week here! I see Siri,Morsul,Eomer and other people changed their avatars, Eomer reverting faithfully back to Eomer, Siri with here anime-like but cool avatar, and Morsul trying out Willy Wonka for size(I like how your avatar always corresponds with your sig and location too).

Since waking from yet another long sleep I have also changed my avatar to Snoopy's ever-so-loyal side-kick Woodstock. Ahh well you can't stay logical forever -- and even Spock knows that.

[Gil-Galad]

But mr.inklingelf! you forgot how i have changed my avvie and my quote...and i've received alot of reponses to my Trogdor the Burninator...

Quite right Gil-Galad how very remorseful I am for neglecting to mention you! :bows:

Trogdor the Burninator you say? Fascinating, green, and slightly disconserting I LOVE it! You must advise me on where you find these amazing avatars!

BTW: Notice the small modification I made on your post?...Well the one I quoted anyway. I hope you didn't deliberately confuse my gender

[The Only Real Estel]

Well, if we're going to talk disconserting we should be talking Encaitare's new avatar ! Disconserting in a cool way, & vise versa.

[Meela]

My avatar may appear at first glance to be a picture of a house-elf, but it is in fact one of the more attractive pictures available of myself.

[the phantom]

Boy, lots of you guys change your avatars all the time. I've always had the same avatar.

I've considered replacing my current avatar with a pic of me in black robes or something else phantomy, but I think that would sort of mess me up. I mean...well, let me ask all of you who've been on the Downs for a while and seen me on many different threads- can the phantom change his avatar? You and I are used to scrolling through threads and when my avie comes up from the bottom of the screen we immidiately think "There's the phantom." It's not just my symbol or my calling card- it's me. Getting rid of it would, for me anyway, almost be like changing my name from the phantom to something else.

Am I too attached?

[Elennar Starfire]

No more than I, Phantom. I obsessed over my avvie when it was lost in the forum change...I had such trouble getting it back! But now it's back, and I love my likkle blue fractal thingie!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I don't much got attached to my avatars... I went for so long without, and have had but 3 since finally getting one. My first, ME ME ME (a lovely phrase that has been, to my amazement, coined), my second, roses that act as an avatar on a different site, and now... my silmarils. I really like the silmarils, so they might just stay for awhile.

[Sirithheruwen]

I unexpectedly got attatched to my Starfire avvie, but I felt that my other one was getting old. Besides, she's just too cute when she's blushing!

[Gil-Galad]

You want a Homestarrunner Avvie site! well here it is!!!

Homestarrunner Avatars Galore

[Imladris]

I like your new one Feanor. I had not realized they were silmarils...just a pleasantly creepy misty....thing.

I also think that Estel's new avatar is bloody brilliant.

[Morsul the Dark]

Enca's new one is pretty um scary i think is a good word

[Diamond18]

I like signature avatars. I must admit to PMing Fordim with wailings when I saw he'd let Indy go. I still think wistfully back on Lush's Fair and Cold stone face avatar. I miss Squatter's old one even though I can't really say who the guy was.....

Changes on the same theme are cool -- like Esty's improved Fiona avatar. But I get to looking at avatars instead of names so often that frequent changes make me read slower. Of course, I used to be in search of a theme to replace Daffy, but crawled back like the unfaithful spouse begging for forgiveness after about a year.

You are full of wonders Gil -- I'm bookmarking it.

[Morsul the Dark]

I see inkling changed her avatar to woodstock

A very good change in my opinion spock is cool...but woodstock hes just awesome

[Sleepy Ranger]

What do you think about my new avatar? Should I go back to Van Hesling or keep PJ the light hearted.

[rutslegolas]

well i think you should go back to Van Helsing.It suits your personality.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Woodstock is just too good!

[The Only Real Estel]

Phantom: I don't even have to think twice about my answer: Keep it!!! It's just to...you to change it. Or at least that's my opinion...

[the phantom]

Keep it!!! It's just too...you to change it.

I figured there had to be someone else who had a strong opinion about my avie (and their opinion confirms my feelings towards my shiny-eyed, hooded friend). Anyone else care whether or not my avie gets changed?

I likely will keep it unless, as Diamond18 suggested, I could find something very similar.

Changes on the same theme are cool

But is there an avatar that would look very similar? I doubt it, so I'll probably have my current one for years to come.

(I'm having the same problem with my sig, I used to change it a lot, often it was lyrics from Phantom of the Opera, but this one I have now is just so me)

And while I'm posting I might as well mention that, for some reason, Sleepy Ranger's PJ avatar always cracks me up. I love it.

[Morsul the Dark]

Phantom, Actually I know a good one

http://www.outpost10f.com/chr/ah/monk.jpg


I think that avatar should suit you

[The Only Real Estel]

Actually, Phantom, your avatar is what's given me the everlasting image I have of you. So since I see you as your avatar, it'd be wierd ajusting to a new one. But if you find one you like better, go for it .

[Gil-Galad]

Phantom it doesn't really matter if you name matches your avatar, look at me, of InklingElf, or a number of downers, we pick the avatar that we want, i pick Trogdor, Inkling picks Woodstock, Estel picks his Pirates of the Carribean...you choose what you want!

[NightKnight]

Ones I like:

Bethberry's: It's so...mystical.

Evisse's: Very nice. It's sorta mystical too.

My mind suddenly stopped working. I'll come back when I think of some more.

[The Only Real Estel]

True, but I think the Phantom isn't talking about whether the avatar matches his name or not-hardly anybody's does! He's talking more along the lines of his avatar matching the feel of his name, if you take my meaning.

[Morsul the Dark]

I regret to announce that currently my computer refuses to change avatars...so I think as opposed to seeing new avatars every other day a new signature every other day will have to suffice

[Kuruharan]

I like mark12_30's new avatar.

It has this...oh, I don't know...almost a Stormdancer of Doom quality about it.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Guess what folk... Van Helsings back. A new pic of him seeing how I lost the old one. So what do you think of the new Van Helsing?

[Mithalwen]

Quite splendid

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Sleepy, it makes me utterly sick!

Only jesting,
it’s quite interesting.


(Edit: I had considered becoming a poet, but my parents forced me not to. Many a days were spent playing football, all by my self, while all the other boys on my street practised their poetry.)

[Mithalwen]

Don't listen to him Sleepy .... it is unfair to be deprived of both Harrison Ford and Hugh Jackman ....... especially in exchange for PJ
