Whoops, I didn't realize the URL doesn't change when you click the links for the different pictures. Thanks for clarifying for everyone else, Gil.

Encaitare's avatar is giving me unbearable nightmares in which red eyes come to eat me...

Kitanna · 09-06-2006, 07:18 PM

I love Enca's. I find it wonderfully beautiful.

Why thank you, Folwren! And I'm sorry that I did not answer sooner. I usually don't find my name being mentioned anywhere. I am a rather obscure person, relegated to the dust-bin.

And the image, while a rather angelic figure, is actually a Valkyrie. Google had sent it to me as a sign while searching for something, and so it became my new avatar.

piosenniel · 09-06-2006, 09:43 PM

I get a kick out of Naria's.

Tickles me; makes me laugh!

Folwren · 09-07-2006, 12:47 PM

Who's in your avatar, Pio? It looks like a cross between Eorl Flynn and Johnny Depp to me...

Durelin's Avatar! I LOVE SAIYUKI! OMGWTFBBQ!!!!!!!!!!!

*ahem*.... Excellent taste, Durelin.

Kath · 09-11-2006, 11:04 AM

I think you need a 'SQUEEEEE!' in there as well Roa.

Roa_Aoife · 09-11-2006, 04:57 PM

You're right, Kath.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I must admit I didn't think anyone would recognize dear priest with gun...should've known, though.

Thank you, Roa! And I definitely think Sanzo deserves a squee or two.

Thinlómien · 09-20-2006, 05:00 AM

I like Naria's avvie. It's pretty pretty.

Thinlómien · 09-21-2006, 05:23 AM

Whatever happened to alatar's avatar?

Valier, I know I've said it before, but I love that little dancing cat! Since I just spent a good two/three minutes watching it I thought I'd better mention it.

Thinlómien · 09-23-2006, 03:40 AM

It grows creepier all the time.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-23-2006, 04:22 AM

Maybe it is a disease of some sort

I wonder, does he need curing? (Though I actually like the present one very much.)

elronds_daughter · 09-23-2006, 03:11 PM

I don't know, I sort of like it. But if it is a disease, it couldn't be cured.

Gil-Galad · 09-24-2006, 02:08 AM

pretty soon there will be nothing but the blue, piercing eyes...

THE Ka · 09-25-2006, 03:24 PM

I came upon The Squatter of Amon Rûdh's avatar today, and I found it absolutely decadent, with a ravishing top hat. My highest regards of Aestheticism to them for their appropriate sense of style. Also, not to forget their signature matched Wildely...

Why thank you Kath!! I am quite fond of this one myself.....It is so like me, it's not even funny...ok well it is funny...you can laugh....HA!!

Folwren · 09-28-2006, 09:47 AM

I love Gothmog's new avatar! Least ways, it's new since I last saw it.

It's great!

Rune Son of Bjarne · 09-28-2006, 09:48 AM

I think he change it today. . .I only noticed to day and I use alot of time looking at Gothmog

Perhaps all that watching of the films and writing about the sequences has done something to distort alatar's vision, which in an eerie way--by no means allegorical, is being "applied" to his avatar?

Thanks for all of the...ahhh...interest.

Should that make me worried?

I've felt like I've been obeserved for some time now, maybe that's the reason... Or it's the shadow figure in the back of my mind, don't know...

Actually, I changed it yesterday. I felt that it was time for a change, a new comeback on the Downs needs a new avatar! It doesn't feel like me yet, but hopefully it will. Strange how much the avatar means when thinking of people! I still think of Folwren as that falcon (it was a falcon, right?) and Rune IS that bearded guy...

And I too like Alatars fading avatar... Creepy and so perfect for this forum!

Saurreg · 09-28-2006, 08:33 PM

Someone's got Jeanne D'arc in Orleans as avatar. Me likes.

Kitanna · 09-28-2006, 09:16 PM

Everytime I look at Gil's avatar I always manage a double take. It sort of looks like my sixth grade science teacher and that scares me... a lot.

a-ha! then my job is done *flies away*

but seriously, it has been taken from one of my favorite comics, his name is bob by the way, if you wish i can show you the full comic, it is rather humourus.

Thinlómien · 09-29-2006, 05:14 AM

My sister's a longtime fan of Celuien's avvie. (Well, she has a strange frog-obsession...

)

Volo · 09-29-2006, 06:41 AM

So, Lommy likes penguins and her sister likes frogs... Hmm... Strange...

But I was just going to say that I like Lommy's new avatar. The music video she took this picture from is also great, I'm not sure if this works..., mystic stuff, something I like, something strange.

Celuien · 09-30-2006, 09:06 AM

Thanks! I promise the frog will return shortly.

Good! It was horrible reading through the ww thread because I didn't recognise your posts!

I like that artist-avvie too, though, it has a nice atmosphere...

I actually just made a google image search by the name of the band I have in the ww game and chose one of the few pictures of according photo size (can't edit photos with the library computer...

).

Kuruharan · 10-05-2006, 05:22 PM

I like THE Ka's new avatar very much.

Hookbill the Goomba · 10-06-2006, 09:47 AM

The Squatter of Amon Rûdh has an Avatar that amuses me highly. The top hated moustachioed man!

I’ve noticed that The Saucepan Man has lost his Avatar. If he is searching for candidates for a new one, I hope he will not be insulted if I propose The Pan of Power!

Good stuff?

Thank'ee, thank'ee, I'm sure. It's neat that you knew it was Jeanne in Orleans. Are you french? And were you the one who repped me on it?

I like yours a lot myself.

-- Folwren

Rune Son of Bjarne · 10-08-2006, 06:12 PM

Most people of Jeanne D'arc don't they?

Anyways as a History freak I can do nothing, but love it.
