[Nychta]

Hey, 0's keeps getting mentioned!

*proud*

Now would be a bad time to tell me that it's distinctively awful.

I have to start getting back to avatars.

Wait, no, I have to start getting back to having a life here first.

Anyways. All the ones I wanted to say have been mentioned. Though I might not have seen Sheep of Oblivion. And Leper Khan. And Spidermew.

[Mordokai]

I always liked your avatars Nadia Ever since what I believe was your first one in Vampires to your prom one that you have now.

The only problem with your current one is that the skirt is too short

Ahahaha! The second one I was drawing (which remains unfinished) had a long skirt.
Just for you.

I did love my Vampires avatar. I believe it was Phase who drew it.

[Grail]

Well, mine actually is famous.

[Ashen Lilies]

I believe Tempest Fennac's hasn't been mentioned yet. Also, The Randomizer.

And Lex-Kat too. Lexie has a monopoly on pixies.

[Mordokai]

I'm pretty sure that is correct.

And thanks! Even if it's unfinished, it's good to know you still remember about that joke

[Nychta]

Of course! That time with you and Roguey was what dragged me into FB in the first place.

Yeah, Roguey's, of course.

[Quincunx]

I still think Space-Is-Curved's avatar is one of the coolest.


When I think of you, I always think of the Seraphim. 'cos I loved both of them.

THANK YOU!

When I was thinking up the list, I thought "when we lost animated avatars, we lost one of the greatest ones ever", but I couldn't think of whose or what it was. Yes. Space-is-Curved. The still avatar is good--very good--but the animation, with stars and comets drifting around inside the body's outline, was a spectacular effect.

[Serpentine]

I'm sure that's how like... 90% of the thread feels.

Not me!

Oooo, yes, I love that one. Where's she been lately?

[banjo1985]

Huzzah I got one mention! I change avatars far too often to become memorable.

I has a list!

Jibjabs
Zeb
Supagoof
Llama
Mordokai
Dr Bath

They just stand out, for their consistency of use if nothing else.

[wadledo]

And Quincunx, have you read the book Quincunx?
Is that where you got your name from?

I is feeling uncouth.

[Quincunx]

Darnit, thought I answered this--oh, right, that was when it was my connection falling on its face, not the forum's.

No, I haven't, but it makes a cyclical appearance on the "I ought to discover what people are referring to" list. First ran across the word in a James Joyce short story, consulted the dictionary, filed it in my Cool Words to Use Later drawer, found a use.

[wadledo]

......The cover scares me.
The keyholes, they are watching me......
............They watch us all.........

[Quincunx]

So, even giant staring eyeballs have a phobia about being watched. I can exploit this--

Soothe this. I can soothe these fears.

Don't know if it matters, but since the point's been brought up, my book jackets as a whole are not nearly so memorable as avatars. With the avatars, even the forgotten ones come back to mind with the prompt of the name. With the book jackets, it's not so.

[Mordokai]

Of course! That time with you and Roguey was what dragged me into FB in the first place.

Yeah, Roguey's, of course.

The Playground is better place because of that.

Yay, I did something useful! God knows this is a rare occasion.

[Serpentine]

I just looked it up then, too. Interesting...

[Player_Zero]

Hey, 0's keeps getting mentioned!
*proud*

High five!

You'll also note I've put it back in my signature... Must've deleted it with the counter and then not noticed or summit.

[Dr. Bath]

Spidermew's avatar(s), particularly because he made them himself, were definitely famous. Distinct, well-made, and unique on top, and utterly custom and recognizable. Ahh, Spidermew.

Hey! I made Spidermew the Erf(-ish) style one! *sniff*

This thread makes me happy as most people seem to be mentioning at least one avatar that I made. Not that this actually reflects well on me, as it is the concept rather than the artistry which makes these avatars memorable. Anyhoo, yeah.

Mad props for Collinmarc for designing my avatar, too. I should really put that back in my signature.

Djinn in Tonic has a brilliant avatar, as does Sampi and Adardam, Magioth's avatars were always memorable too. As are Illiterate Scribe and Anon. and on (the same person or something? You confuse me) despite the fourchan connotations.

[Recaiden]

I feel so young. I have only vague memories of these people. Like Phoe's old avatar. I remember it being there, but I can't see it.

[Dallas-Dakota]

I think I made Spidermew a avatar some time ago, and he wore it for some time too!
Though it wasn't as good as Baths erf-ish spidermew, not by a long shot.

It was that pokemon one....

Scratch that, that one I made for V Junior.....

[Charity]

Should be here.
I've always loved Lianae's by the artist whom shall not be named.

[Neko Toast]

Sorry, but I'm starting to think that this thread is starting to become a "Krush Thread" clone. It's another game of "I like yooou, and yooou, and yooou..." Didn't this game get old in kindergarten?

Pardon me for being a poor sport.

I have to say that of all the stand-outish avatars I see, the ones I recognize and enjoy the most are Player_Zero, Mordokai, and Kara Kuro.

Player_Zero because it's a skeleton with an afro. Duh.

Mordokai because it changes with the ongoing story. It makes my day when I see a new one up (despite the fact that the last few are the same picture, just with a different pose.)

Kara Kuro just because it's so darn cute.

@v That's sort of my point. People pick out the people they like, and the ones who don't get picked cry about it. Not really a fun game.

[Sneak]

Oh, you mean Malmmmmmph! Mmph! Help!

@^: It doesn't have to be that way. So far it seems to me that it really is a smooth, avatar-based thread, albeit with a slight "WHY HAS NO ONE MENTIONED ME WAAAGH" aftertaste.

[Dihan]

D-D and Sneak used to have memorable avatars. Then there are all the usual suspects such as Dr Bath, Curly, Ikari, RHL, Serpentine, etc. Mr Saturn had a pretty memorable avatar style when he was around.

As in avatar-drawing style? Yes, he also made the original cookiemonster and christmas cookiemonster.

[Sneak]

@v That's sort of my point. People pick out the people they like, and the ones who don't get picked cry about it. Not really a fun game.

But it's not just about people they like. It's about avatars. Not even necessarily the best avatars, either—DIHAN is one of the best avatarists on the boards, but I still don't think his avatar counts as "famous" to me, despite its beauty and brilliance. And it is beautiful and brilliant. It's just about what stands out to you. If some people see it otherwise, well, it's not our fault, and it's not our fault that they feel left out.

That's how I feel, at least.

Hey, what's with all the hate! Smurfette is a cultural icon, thank you very much!

[Dihan]

Hey, what's with all the hate! Smurfette is a cultural icon, thank you very much!

The year 7-11s in my school wear bright blue uniforms. We call them Smurfs because they're so short and irritating. Even the teachers call them Smurfs.

[TRM]

A while back, there was an avatar of an Alice in Wonderland carrying a bloody knife with a skeletal dog (cat, rabbit?) next to her; there were words written in blood too. I think it was by banjo1985—that was memorable. I only saw it once or twice, though, so I don't remember the details.

Mordokai's are memorable too, because they tell a story and have stunning artwork.

[Nameless]

Serp's a bath's ones of course.
Lyinginbedmon's avatars also stand out very well.
Byt of course, we can't forget Djin and Death, Your Freindly Reaper.
Their avatars stand out a mile away.
