Favourite Avatar in the Playground [Archive] - Giant in the Playground Forums

Mordokai

Well, actually, it was more because of the lack of avatar, for some time now. Hopefully, it will get better now that it's back. And you've never forgot to remind me that this is the best one I have :smallwink: :smallbiggrin: The series, that is.

But sometimes a smartass find that thinks he knows better than me which avatar is better. Mainly happened during my blackguard phase.

And now I think I'm begining to ramble... lets just say there have been some misunderstandings over the whole series over the time :smallsmile:

Serpentine

10-11-2009, 10:33 AM

Oh good. I thought it was gonna be "SCANTILY CLAD LADIES OH NOES". Pfft, whatever. I like it when they change over regularly, and I like all of 'em :smallsmile:

AmberVael

10-11-2009, 10:35 AM

I'm also madly in love with Vael's one and I don't care if you mock me :smalltongue:

:smallredface:
Glad to know that people like it, even if it does have flaws.

FoE

:smallredface:

I liked your masked avatar.

Of course, I like my main Randy avatar, Serpentine's avatar, Mordokai's avatar, Amiria's Vampirella avatar, I'm da Rogue's avatar (sigh), Em Blackleaf's little girl avatar, Shasiaa Toriia's avatar (is that how you spelled it?) and CurlyKitGirl's Agatha avatar, as well as her "frozen by Catdusa" avatar. Also, Sweetrein's avatar with the boobs.

Amongst the DD snarkers, Schlega has the best avatars, though most people wouldn't get the joke.

You know, there's a thread where people are voting for best avatarist (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=122316)...

Drop in if you haven't already.

Seeing as that I am one of the only people who don't have an OotS-style avatar, I think I should be nominated for best avatar for uniqueness and style.

That makes perfect sense and shut up.

Mordokai

10-11-2009, 10:48 AM

Oh good. I thought it was gonna be "SCANTILY CLAD LADIES OH NOES". Pfft, whatever. I like it when they change over regularly, and I like all of 'em :smallsmile:

Nah, luckily people of the Playground are more sensible than that :smallsmile:

Oh yeah, PhoeKun. Her avatars are great and nicely drawn as well. And most of what FoE said.

Serpentine

10-11-2009, 10:52 AM

I'm da Rogue's avatar (sigh)*sigh* :smallsigh: :frown: Still no word. And yeah, she had great avis. Which one of Reina's? Mine? *hopeful-eyes*

Recaiden

10-11-2009, 11:12 AM

Mordokai's series of avatars, no contest.Not just because I made one of them.
I liked his banner more though.

Nameless

10-11-2009, 11:19 AM

I alwayes liked Rabbit's Mad Hatter one. But not that silly one she has now. :smallwink:

Adumbration

10-11-2009, 11:51 AM

I've always liked Matthew's avatar. I really need to install Icewind dale II again... (And perhaps appropriate an avatar for miself. *leprechaun laugh*)

Moff Chumley

10-11-2009, 11:55 AM

Phase's is pretty cool. Mordokai's is awesome, Vael's is great, all of Fax's have been cool, and I gotta love Roland's.

I mean, have to. I'd rather stay on his good side, thanks very much.

bosssmiley

10-11-2009, 12:02 PM

Dr Bath MD at his desk. It just makes me laugh. :smallbiggrin:

Dr. Bath

10-11-2009, 12:13 PM

Yeah I love that one to, Colinmarc really did me proud. Where's he got to anyway...

I've always really like Ink's chained angel avatar. (Even though I've never played Planetscape)

Trog

10-11-2009, 12:17 PM

Ceika's avatars (Llamas in particular) or anything by Ink. Both are tied for my favorite avatarists. Too much good stuff to choose just one single avatar from.

AmberVael

10-11-2009, 12:18 PM

I liked your masked avatar.

Yeah, so did I, but I had it up forever... well, because it was good. But I needed a change.

Ikialev

10-11-2009, 12:18 PM

Phase, Serpentine and Dr. Bath.
And infinities of Roland's avatars.

SMEE

10-11-2009, 12:19 PM

Vael, Ceika and Trog always produce high quality avatars. :smallsmile:

Doihaveaname avatar are also awesome.

Dogmantra

10-11-2009, 12:39 PM

The moment I realised Phase changes his avatar with the moon's phases, I fell in love...

With it... yeah... with the avatar...

Silence

10-11-2009, 12:55 PM

I've always been a fan of serpentine's avatars, personally xD

The Vorpal Tribble

10-11-2009, 12:58 PM

Phase's have definitely been my favorite. Cut-muffins, llamas and Sneak's as runner ups

Blue Ghost

10-11-2009, 12:59 PM

Mordokai's series of avatars, no contest.Not just because I made one of them.
I liked his banner more though.

I second this. Mordokai's avatars are definitely the best. Something about how they convey purity and true love. (When he started campaigning for Pervert in the Playground, it ruined the image a bit though.)

Mordokai

10-11-2009, 01:01 PM

And you gotta love Vorpal's current avatar. There's just something... charming about a big, hairy... thing... howling into to the moon :smallbiggrin:

Not to mention his usual... charming smile :smalltongue:

Rutskarn

10-11-2009, 01:04 PM

Charming. That's a word you could use to describe him.

Particularly if you have reservations about losing your gonads in a freak Being Chewed Off accident.

Fostire

10-11-2009, 02:25 PM

My favourites are CurlyKitGirl's avatars.

Apparently people love my series of cookie monsters. Seeing remarkably few comments about them.( read: no comments

All credits go to mainly Mr. Saturn and Ceika! They're some of the bestest avatarist out there! Other avatarists in the Cookiemonster series include people such as Dr. Bath and Banjo, also very, very good avatarists.

Amongst the DD snarkers, Schlega has the best avatars, though most people wouldn't get the joke.
I have my own hate/snark club? I'm flattered.:smallredface::smallwink::smallbiggrin: :smalltongue:

I personally like Serpentine's line of avatars. They've always stood out as special and fun to me.

Though, I'm disappointed. No one's mentioned Quincunx's avatars, which I always find fascinating and amazingly interesting.

Quincunx 4 lyfe.

The Orange Zergling

10-11-2009, 03:24 PM

There are tons of cool avatars I've seen over the years here but at the moment the ones that come to mind are Trog's (especially his older ones; they amuse me and are high quality) and Ink's (for being ridiculously awesome in general).

Froogleyboy

10-11-2009, 05:09 PM

Phase's totally, I wish I could find a cool theme for my avatars but, alas, I cannot.

onasuma

10-11-2009, 05:25 PM

Vorpal tribbles is the best. Excluding anything drawn by crimmy for me based around a Rhino, octopus and a hammer.

The Extinguisher

10-11-2009, 05:28 PM

Phase has always had the coolest avatar, in my opinion.

Lupy

10-11-2009, 05:35 PM

Phase. I love the idea of an avatar changing regularly.

Yarram

10-11-2009, 06:51 PM

I love Rutskarns avatar. It is awesome.

I also like Serpentines tail, just because I have no ability for drawing in 3 Dimensions like she can.

Elrond

10-12-2009, 02:59 AM

I'm not really sure if I have a favorite avvy but I do really like the people who have avatars that have a base but can be changed around for the weeks/ themes.

Serpentine

10-12-2009, 03:49 AM

I also like Serpentines tail, just because I have no ability for drawing in 3 Dimensions like she can.It's called "the gradient tool", and or "the mesh tool" :smallwink: But thanks.

I love that Phase's is always in keeping with the phase (and other goings-on) of the moon.

Death, your friend the Reaper

10-12-2009, 03:55 AM

Death, your Friend the Reaper always has something hilarious.

I don't know what you are talking about, being the Reaper is serious business!

I like to think that my avatar reflects my somber nature at all time.:smallwink:

As to favourite avatars, I tend to find I enjoy an avatar so much more if it fits a persons name, and as stated before it's great when they change for events and such.

Chris the Pontifex made my first avatar, and I was ever glad as he is an excellent avatarist, although, nowadays everywhere you look there are great avatars all around. If there was a heist of avatars, I wouldn't know who to frame!:smalltongue:

Anuan

10-12-2009, 04:06 AM

Our friend the Reaper always has great avatars :smalltongue: DD's are cool...I like mine, but that's just cause, y'know, it's my avatar.

Gonna have to go with Phase's avatars being the best, though. I laughed out loud and also went 'awww' a little bit when I saw his current one.

RabbitHoleLost

10-12-2009, 04:38 AM

I second this. Mordokai's avatars are definitely the best. Something about how they convey purity and true love. (When he started campaigning for Pervert in the Playground, it ruined the image a bit though.)

Purity? You have got to be kidding me.
I on some occasions am more pure than the sexy, dirty things that occur between 'Kai and Flora :smalltongue:

I don't think there's been "purity" in his avatars for a very long time...the whole blackguard fiasco alone was almost half a year, then the various gender-bender weeks before that...

Mordokai

10-12-2009, 07:30 AM

Now you see what I mean by "catching flak".

Cristo Meyers

10-12-2009, 07:31 AM

I was never in the dark about catching flak...

Hell, I kinda caused half of it...

Mordokai

10-12-2009, 07:33 AM

That was directed mostly towards Serpentine.

And lets not get me started on what you started/caused. *glares at*

Cristo Meyers

10-12-2009, 07:34 AM

Fine, fine, I'll just go away back to my dark little corner...

I like Eleventh's avatars as well.[/attempt to stay on topic]

Reinholdt

10-12-2009, 09:53 AM

I'm supposed to pick a favorite?
Umm... almost all the kitty ones? :smalltongue:

But seriously, I'm highly fond of Banjo's catatar series. Custard's sister Ambrosia is ridiculously cute.

Dallas-Dakota

10-12-2009, 09:55 AM

Almost all?

Are you saying you don't love cookie kitty?:smallfrown:

Cobra_Ikari

10-12-2009, 10:04 AM

LLamatars were my original faves. I also like Ego's style of avataring quite a bit. And I've recently become a HUUUUGE fan of Miss Nobody's style. =3

Phase is also win, too. Especially his newest. I did not realize it was possible to want to snuggle a celestial body better. *hugs*

Hehe. Thanks. Nothing quite makes my day like disturbing people.
Although beat-up kitty has been there for a while. Probably time for a change.

And yes. Rabbit's current avatar is particularly smexy. I am fond of it and her others.

Quincunx

10-12-2009, 11:28 AM

I've thought about this, off and on, for a few days now. The people with recognizable avatar characters were famous, but the ones I am thinking of as 'favorites' are one-time specials. Harder to pick an overwhelming favorite from a series of equally high quality, I guess. As always, this is just a sampling, apologies to the excellent yet forgotten avatars.

Concealed:
Jacklu's current avatar

Exposed:
Yora's Nudity Week avatar (board standard Red Knight hiding behind the shield)
Ink's 'Hinjo on the Throne of Azure City'

Subverted:
Bisected8 dresses as RabbitHoleLost's Mad Hatter (how do you tie this ¤/#% thing?!)
Serpentine as a Marilith

Brain Bleach Required:
Bluelantern (MikoxBelkar)

Animated:
Space-is-Curved (stars and comets drifting in a dark female silhouette)

Miss Nobody

10-12-2009, 11:51 AM

I really liked Rabbit's Mad Hatter. I also like Serpentine's avatars, Reinholdt's awesomely creepy tortured kitties and Crimmy's avatars.

Icewalker

10-12-2009, 12:48 PM

Hmmmm, there's no way I'll remember everyone, I'll obviously miss many people. Rutskarn's is good because it's not just well drawn but it's such an identity, it works well. It's not "this person's avatar" it's "Rutskarn's face."

Phase has a great one because of the way he cycles it. That's fun. VT always has great stuff and very consistent as well.

Kobold-Bard

10-12-2009, 01:23 PM

I personally find Regord_Silentflame's scary. I tend to imagine the person typing looks like their avatar (even Zeta Kai), so whenever he posts in our game I always think he's annoyed with me :smalltongue:

Ippolit

10-12-2009, 03:01 PM

I can't believe that Kneenibble's (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/member.php?u=32470) bird avatars have not yet been mentioned.
Also I'm a fan of Kid Kris's (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/member.php?u=37080), Calamity (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/member.php?u=4732) and SMEE's (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/member.php?u=9900) avatars.

arguskos

10-12-2009, 03:06 PM

Oh yeah, I also really enjoy Pyrian's avvys, simply because I know what I'm dealing with when he posts. :smallwink: My favorite of his was the one in the dragon mask (which was awesome, you should bring it back :smallwink:).

Amiria

10-12-2009, 05:13 PM

My avatar :smallbiggrin:, the wizzzard one, not this current Vampimiria (although I like it a lot too). I just wish that Ink would return so that he can make me something new ... :smallredface:

Avatars and avatartists combined; Chris the Pontifex, DD, Death, Roland, Serpentine, Ego Slayer, Ink, Ceika, I'm Da Rogue, Face of Evil, Kwarkpudding, DarkCorax, Dispozition, CurlyKitHirl, Dr. Bath, Mordokai, The Stoney One ... the list goes on and on, so many great avatars and avatartirsts ... but Ink is my favourite and what he did for me I like most. :smallsmile:

All the custom avatars are great. I tried to add a Mohawk to my clone, but my paintshop skills are lacking.

RabbitHoleLost

10-12-2009, 09:51 PM

Miss Nobody and Rabbit have made me swoon as much as is possible from illustrations. And I guess after that it just depends on the avatarist, who then runs away with the concept.

I'd have to go with Curly's. They keep me on my toes.

:: gives kisses to the poor, injured celestial object ::

Phase, of course, has awesome avatars because they shift and adjust often.
I'm not just returning the compliment, I promise.

Trobby

10-12-2009, 11:07 PM

Robek (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/member.php?u=46370) has earned himself a mention from me, for having one of the best pop icon throwbacks I've ever seen in an avatar. :smallcool:

Yarram

10-13-2009, 01:32 AM

It's called "the gradient tool", and or "the mesh tool" :smallwink: But thanks.

I love that Phase's is always in keeping with the phase (and other goings-on) of the moon.

I understand that bit! It's the whole "Drawing an object that wraps around itself and still appears natural" part that screws me... I have trouble drawing anything harder than a cube in three dimensions tbh.

Kris on a Stick

I'm especially proud of a few of my own stuff, especially my more recent ones, like Jazirian here (http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x280/kriskatarn/Jazirian-1.png), or Commie-Mag (http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x280/kriskatarn/CommieMag.png) or Angelturtle (http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x280/kriskatarn/HappyturtleAngel.png).

My favorites made by people who are not me ((:smalltongue:)), have to be some of Fdl's stuff for Rabbit and Happyturtle, Mordokai-on-a-pogo stick for sheer silliness, and Night Surgeon's one-eyed warrior.

ghost_warlock

10-13-2009, 07:17 AM

I'm also a fan of Quincunx's avatars. Elegant is definitely a good word for them. Elusive is another good adjective. They seem deceptively simple, given the chromatic minimalism, but there's a careful attention to detail in each of them that affirms the skill of the artist. Also, the decision to omit facial features lends an air of mysteriousness; both alluring and somewhat unsettling in a careful balance.

Runners up:
Phase's current avatar.
Reinholdt's current avatar.

Fostire

That is the mix of several playgrounder's avatars: his own, haruki-kuns', magtok's, BRC's, RabbitHoleLost's, and mordokai's. Did I miss anyone?

I suppose the best avatars/avatarists I've seen are (and here they're just notable or just flat out great):
Serpy
Qiuincunx
DeeRee
Phase
Rutskarn (his GB one especially)
Anything by Dr. Bath
Rabbit's current one is her best one
Miss NObody
Death
DD/Sneak

On a more related note I like Froogleyboy's current hippie Illithid. It's both peace-loving and also horrifying at the same time :smalltongue:

Hey that's one I made :smalleek::smallbiggrin:
Thank you

See this, this is why I love your avatars.
Errr... thanks...
*backs away slowly until he reads the white text*
Oh. Thanks.

That is the mix of several playgrounder's avatars: his own, haruki-kuns', magtok's, BRC's, RabbitHoleLost's, and mordokai's. Did I miss anyone?
Nope. That's all of them. Me and Haruki agreed it'd just get too cluttered if he added any more.

Mordokai

10-13-2009, 03:03 PM

Nope. That's all of them. Me and Haruki agreed it'd just get too cluttered if he added any more.

It's one of the most disturbing ones already...

Wow...when you've been around as long as I, the list of favorite avatars is really long. So many of them have been wonderful and hilarious and clever. I really appreciate whenever someone has a set character and that character appears in all their avatars in various costumes/situations. The way Phase changes his is noteworthy and wonderful. I could give a list of approximately 50 playgrounders who's avatars rock like a box of fox socks, so I'm just gonna narrow it down to one who always pushed the limits of what a stick figure could get away with showing.

INDURAIN!!!

V Thankies!! *Hugs*

I'll have to agree with TLAM (The Llama Above Me).

Mine goes for Dr. Bath, Indy, Atreyu, and, of course, Amiria's Ink-atar.

I have a soft spot for Alarra's avatars, but my personal favorite has to be Lilly's. I'm not sure why, as it's not the greatest in artistic merit or anything of the sort, but it's just adorable.

CurlyJessie's an oldie, but a goody. And the reason there's so much flair is because it's a Bathatar.

Will you allow those who haven't seen all your avatars an opportunity to?

CurlyKitGirl

10-14-2009, 12:02 PM

Will you allow those who haven't seen all your avatars an opportunity to?

That's, that's a lot of avvies. Perhaps, if there's enough requests or something; there are definitely quite a few that haven't seen the light of the forums for quite a while now. And some I don't have with all the tags down on a Word doc and Bath's Bucket is over 1 000 images.
But yes, if you stick around ong enough you'll probably see all of them.

You should see the Llamas too; they rock. Try checking out one of the old LLD games from the Structered Games sub - forums. Although I think they've been merged with another by now.

They will be named along the theme (usually) CurlyKit(word related to theme of avatar) also they will all be the same girl and cat dressed up/mutated in various ways. It should (I hope) be fairly obvious.

Alright, I see them. Thanks.

Edit: Hey, what's with all these Morodaki pictures? It looks like they belong to a fan comic or something.

That would be Mordokai's long running series of avatars (mentioned a couple times in this very thread) following the trails and tribulations of a paladin and his occasional comrades.

10-14-2009, 01:58 PM

I think my favourite avatars are the ones that are all variations on a theme, so all the Curlys, the Cookiemonsters, the Llamas, the catmuffins, and the Mordokai series. Any I've forgotten?

There are other notable avatars, but if I get into that, it'll be a huge list. And there's something particularly special about having that much variety while still keeping the basic idea the same.

Phase's is the always changing, which I think is cool.
RHL's Hatter...
The Randomizers Old avv's...
And of course, Roland's usual Gunslinger, and Rawhide Sig-a-tar is kinda cool...
Nameless', Face of Evil's and Death, Your Friend the Reaper's are all very... how do you say... win? :smallbiggrin:

Too many more, and too little motivation to type :smalltongue:.

No clue. You could always ask me like this though...and I'm cool with it. Everyone and anyone is welcome to it if it inspires them, unless there's some standing rule of 1 person to a costume, which I doubt.

Man, ain't no one love the graz'ztatars. Guess they're too niche and I'm not old enough to be remembered yet. :smallsigh:

Anyways. Djinn's is classy as always. Same with a ton of them. Really, there are so many nice avvys it's hard to pick just a handful. I'm strange though, in that I actually prefer avatars that shift. Sure, having an identity is nice, but I like variety too.

Crimmy

10-14-2009, 10:14 PM

More than Graz'ztatars, it's Serpatars, since the author was Serpentine.

I don't know exactly how many the LLama has, but I know at one point he had a sig banner that said "Celebrating 100 LLamatars". I also happen to be friends with Ceika, and I know she likes trying to come up with disturbing ways to draw the LLama, so there're a LOT more now than even then.

I've always been a huge fan of Fax Celestis (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/member.php?u=5644)' avatar, ever since I first joined this forum. It's so simple and yet it seems to me it's about to break out in a spinning dance every time I look at it. It has conjured up so many images and has inspired in me many a character that I've used and grown fond of.

Isn't that one of the things that really everyone can agree on defines good art? That it inspires you?
