Your Avatar was originally a sketch by Brian Froud, from his book Faeries... The website you got it from took his sketch of a springgan and made it into a "negative" photo... Sorry if i sound rude, i don't imply to. I just grew up with Brian Froud's works... Sad thing is i know all of his books by heart and can name them by year... Yes, its one of the strange services i provide here.

Vuelve's "Puss in Boots" avatar freaking rules.
And Bethberry's rules, because it's a bit freaky.

I've always liked Firefoot's avatar, and the Barrow-wight's new one is cool... I like it better because, unlike the last one, I can tell what it is. (I still think his last one looked liked the Hulk's fist...)
I also liked Imladris's old avatar (the orangey picture one, of the valley), but her new one is cool too. -Eowyn Skywalker |

Ah, yes, Lush, a rose by any other name.... etc etc.

There is one drawing by Froud which I have toyed with from time to time in thought of using-- not this one, however. For my purposes the Froud original which you refer to from Fairies would not work and I would not use nor want it. It is the Gothic Gardening version which I wished to use. Why? Because my 'character' Bethberry originated as the daughter of Tom Bombadil and Goldberry, sent to wander Middle earth in search of her lost mother--a bit of a twist on the Persephone myth which Tolkien loosely incorporates in his characterisation of Goldberry. My character was inspired in part by the lack of any reference to Goldberry at the book's conclusion, where Gandalf refers only to going back to see old Tom. You see, the 'negative' photo which you refer to is very similar to the cover illustrations done by Sarah Gibb for Tales from the Perilous Realm. This book includes "The Adventures of Tom Bombadil." There is a fanciful one of Goldberry dancing above the rushes and cattails of the water where she first entranced Tom. The "Bęth" part of my nick comes from the Sindarin for 'word', taken from Gandalf's spell before the Moria gate. As such, it is a nod to the web of words which my 'character' delights in, both in the RPGs and in the discussions. Which all goes to show the inordinate amount of time I spend dallying with ideas and references as I ply subtly layer upon layer of nuance to my character here. Surely, surely you will say I have better things to do and you would not be wrong ... |

Now that I have more time...
Lush's rose is very pretty, as is Bethberry's springgan. Very magical. Also on the list of my favourites is Squatter of Amon Rudh for his Shakespeare, The Perky Ent, Diamond18, Amanaduial, and Eowyn Skywalker because every time I see a lightsaber-wielding Eowyn I giggle.

Naturally I love Imladris’s (and Vuelve’s) new avatar. Honestly, who couldn’t fall in love with the majestic Puss in Boots? His sweet charm, pride and those cute little eyes that one could never say no to!
I got my avatar from Furiae an amazing art website (defiantly worth visiting). A big thanks to Imladris who gave me the link. Best wishes, Niluial

Yes, Imladris, that is, indeed, the avatar I meant... it's so PRETTY! And, yeah, I knew you liked mine... it's not every day you just PMed because someone likes your avatar... I got TWO PMs!!! Mwha-ha-ha!
Thanks, MadBaggins, glad that you like it. I'm thinking of making a new one, because that lightsaber Eowyn is getting old... I need a new lightsaber packin' Shieldmaiden! I like Bethberry's avatar, it looks cool. -Eowyn Skywalker |

Oh, Carlas, I can't say I like your new avatar very much...where's the pretty green-haired girl?
Niluil, I love your avatar too, and the site you linked me to is bloody brilliant! (To quote Ron Weasly! )

Sirithheruwen - Every time I see something posted by Sirithheruwen, I imagine Sirth saying it with a big smiling happy face.lol
Mad Baggins - your avatar reminds me of the Cheshire(sp?) cat from the animated Alice in wonderland. Quote:

I like Bethberry and The Saucepan Mans' avatars. Eowyn Skywalker's is pretty cool too.

Has everyone seen the Barrow-Wight's brand new avatar?
It's the really new one of an unknown (to me) guy with black sunglasses. I happen to think it's absolutely brilliant

Oh yes, BW's new one of a random green dude with sunglasses looks good... not Agent Smith, certainly, but it's good. But whenever I think of Mr. Wight, I'm still going to think of the one I THOUGHT was part of the Hulk!!!
And, Sirithheruwen, yours is really nice too. And Gorwinal (sp?) I like yours too! -Eowyn Skywalker EDIT: New avatar for me! It's me... giggle... beyond the edited lightsaber, of course... can't have an avatar without a lightsaber... actually, I DO have one without a lightsaber... never mind.

I can't believe someone has discovered a more terrifying avatar than Sirithheruwen's.
Kransha, yours is positively evil. So fitting.

Thorongil is now my sworn enemy. (Little FFVII joke there; no harm intended )
And does the B-W's avatar look like a tinted Elton John to anyone else?

Hmm. I see HerenIstarion has a new avatar. I did so like the bursting fireworks. I wonder if this one is his own picture? Photoshop expert, eh, HI?

Can you feel the love tonight?
Saraphim, I thought I was going crazy when I saw an alien version of Elton John next to the Barrow-wight's name. Now I know I am not alone!

<-- 'tis me, sure
Hey, Bb, so did I . It was of fitting colour with the BD theme, and it was reminiscent of wizards too.
But 'twas four years old already, and I felt like a change. Besides, ubiquitous Fordim already started just another prolongued thread of the kind he's the master-starter of, dealing with 'how do you imagine other members' issue. I would rather make clear how do I look like, than suffer (probable) insinuations as of me being like cabbage or something Photoshop expert re: not quite, more of 'annoying amateur' sort (that is, when I feel like 'photoshopping', I almost always call my expert friend now and again and nag him with 'um, and how do you do...' sort of questions. When the process of nagging reaches its critical mass, and he finally refuses to answer my questions, than I will be forced to actually read the manual

Honest, HI, I never thought of you as holubtsi. Never. Sometimes maybe like nalysnyky, but more often like shashlik, if you aren't vegetarian.

well, 'holubtsi' I know of, and call the dish like to it 'tolma' (the difference being, we do not roll the meat into cabbage leaves, but vine leaves down here), shashlik I do love (but under the name of 'mtsvadi' it goes), but what nalys-s-ssnyky-ss, my precious-ss, what nalys-s-ssnyky-ss?

Very ... shall I say ... tastefully ... done, HI.
I had reather feared you might merge them so that it appeared your head was exploding.
