I quite like Hookbill's avy. . .I am not quite sure if he has used it for long or if it is new.

I see Sally's new avvie features my (other) favorite author! I just hope she doesn't really mean the "bad" part.

Nah, Woolf is the subject of our senior seminar class and, while I don't think I'd mind her if I'd just come across her and read of my own volition, the professor in charge of the class has approached her in such a way that I can't stand her. I'm sure she's a fabulous writer, I'm just really biased now. Alas. But really, I just couldn't resist the pun!

I like Mithalwen's - do I deduce from this you saw James May's cool t-shirt on Oz and James Drink To Britain???

Anyone who has a MST3K avie has excellent taste.
Serious kudos to Oddwen.

Durelin's avatar has caught my eye. The lighting is very neat how it reflects and emphasizes certain parts of the armor (I'm assuming it is a knight).

Hehe, glad you like it. It is armor of sorts. More robot than knightly armor. It's one of the duo Daft Punk. They wear robot suits (which mostly seems to mean cool metallic helmet and boots + leather) in all their shows and most public appearances.

Yep, I wonder if he also made it himself (nothing can surprise me anymore).

I like it too. And, once again, I ask if we could see the picture in its original size.

I like Groin's new avatar a lot too. In fact, it even inspired me to semi-create a chracter but I doubt I will use him anywhere (what a pity)...

For some reason, Lommy's avatar now makes me think of Black Riders as being Penguins in disguise. Clearly this is a plot device Tolkien should have made clearer to us in the books!

I think Lommy's avvie is one of the neatest that she's come up with. I've been meaning to say so for quite some time but have always put it off. Where did you find ( or make) it Lommy?

Thanks! I gave myself a Sleeping Beauty avvie a few days before putting up my admin thread, kinda like a teaser for what the game was about. I found this one and liked it even better then the one I had previously, it let me keep my blue theme that my avvies have always had. I also had a quote from the Grimm's version of the story as my sig, and will probably change it back to that soon.

I must nominate Folwren's new avvie. Very beautiful; it reminds me of Joan of Arc!

It's been a while since I read the book, so I'm sorry to say I don't know.

I quite like Bethberry's new one, it's colorful and all... but the main reason why I am writing this is that on first sight, I thought it's some interesting picture of Greedo.

Rikae, I like the subtle twist to your avvie. I've spent a lot of time on Twitter feeds lately, so if it means what I think it does I'm in favor of it.

I like Nogrod's latest, as well as Groin's, which has a similar theme. Both are timely, and the solar system is one of my interests.

I would nominate piosenniel's, whose Opus from Bloom County really takes me back (though I would have chosen Bill ).
