Hey everyone! I'll start. I came up with "SuperEgenahnnee" because somehow Eagles reminded me of that crazy word :/ and I used Microsoft Word and Paint to make my Avatar :D yours?

Well I found my avatar on Photobucket due to listening to one of these persons songs I was in a "MUST FIND GOOD AVATARS" moment. And I'm using this as my Skype pic.

I googled Rick Harrison on Google Images and I found this picture. I found it funny because it tends to be a true fact.

I went on to Serenes Forest, went to FE5's artwork, found Fin's, cropped it and uploaded it...

I went to Google Images, grabbed myself a triforce, and pasted my name on it in MS Paint. Don't question my genius, this proces took mad avatar-making skillz.

EDIT: Different avatar, same process. Because it works.

Well, my old avatar I found with Google because I loved a particular giant robot from a particular violent movie.. I loved it so much it was my contiunous forum avatar for like 2 years. xD

But when we made this site, I wanted to start fresh. I thought to myself, "What do I like the most now?" and the answer instantly popped into my head - Tohsaka Rin from Fate/Stay Night. She's my all time favorite anime character in general, and I love her to death.. so I decided to make her my avatar. I found an awesome avatar, and it was done. xD

On a different website with a forum this guy had a graphic shop and my account on that site was 720_Unusual so i thought in my head... " whats unusual?" and I asked the guy to have a Blue Mew *Because they are rare so i considered it unusual* and he made it for me!

I made my avatar using Photoshop and various Touhou characters I found from google, edited them, and put them together.

Cropped it from a comic based on Persona 4. The gal who made it also makes this (http://cucumber.gigidigi.com).

I found mine in a collection of them on Photobucket. There were about 1000 of them, so it was a pretty tough choice. Of course I went with the androgynous one to match my androgynous signatures. xD

I made mine in about 5 minutes on Photoshop to prove something. I don't know why, but I felt like using it here.

If I'm thinking of the avatar I'm thinking of, you didn't find it on Google, you got yours the same way I did, our old artist Meta made it for us. I still use it to this day because nobody has ever made one that I liked more. XD

My 100th Post. Yesh!

I had various Skarmory Ava's which is by the some people's signature shop in old forums but I forgot the links plus it wasn't in my computer files.
Anyways I have this avatar in left, in a site in image gallery in episode 2 in Pocket Monsters Best Wishes Season 2. I found this avatar so funny so I decided to choice it.

07-05-2012, 02:39 AM
I made it from scratch on Inkscape. I decided on Bulbasaur because it's just such a wonderful Pokemon, and it's bulbless because... well, as I say in my signature, I got lazy. Not just on the lack-of-a-bulb, either. I slacked on the shading.

Well to be honest, on the old forumotion SS Forums, one guy (A Gold Ranker) had this avatar. I found it cool so I downloaded it on to my computer. I used it on several different websites. Fast forward to now, where I needed an avatar, (I already deleted the avatar) I was already using this avatar on Newgrounds and Kongregate, so I put in on my computer again and searched it on Google Images which led me to this person's Photobucket: http://s492.photobucket.com/albums/rr290/theraptorsrage/?start=all

I found a guy on this other forums that I should never speak of who was kind enough to let anyone use the avatars he made like the one I'm using now.

Meta made this for me and I've never changed it. I have a sig that Meta did for me also, but I don't know where that went. I miss him T.T

My old avatar on the ss forums was the iced tea can. The reason is was that for so long was that when I first joined the forums, I really didn't have any particular avatar, so I went searching on my computer and the only thing I could find to use as a good avatar was the iced tea can. Now a days, I switched it because I thought it was getting outdated, and I decided to use Snivy cosplayed as Link! This was an image I found on google a while back when I was browsing for new avatars, I decided that it will be my main new avatar when Super Eyan reopened the forums.

My avatar is just a shot from Super Mario Galaxy 2, which is my favourite game of all time. Mario and Yoshi together encapsulates the game perfectly

Mine is a picture of Pent from FE7 that I found either on dA or Google Images (probably the latter). I use it because Pent is amazing, kills stuff and stops you from unlocking 22x.

I like Black Puffles. My username is Cutiepuffle. Therefore my avatar is a puffle.

Dragonite
10-28-2012, 12:44 AM
I like Dragonite, and the name wasn't already taken (somehow). The avatar is a long-time work-in-progress Photoshop project. This version is probably permanent, unless I find a way to fit another chicken on someone's head.

Oh this? *Points to avatar*

Just something I randomly made in GIMP to celebrate Halloween on the forums. Not my best, but it's something. The best avatar I made so far is the one on my profile.

My avatar is actually a sprite ripped directly from the iOS version of Ace Attorney, the only one with HD graphics. I know it doesn't really look good as an Avatar, but I don't plan on changing it anytime soon.

Umbrony
10-29-2012, 04:55 AM
I change so often how do you expect me to remember?

For now I'll credit Spaceyhead and TheXWalkthrough1 because they made some of my avatars and sigs.

Ive had my avatar for about a year. I use to go on this forum called thetechgame.com and there are really good graphics shops.My avatar is actually pretty bad compared to most of the shops on there, but I didn't have much time because i was about to get banned.

Majorasfan
10-29-2012, 12:27 PM
I found my avatar, but the choice was clear. I was either going to use the one I had in like 2008-2009, or I was gonna use Tohsaka Rin. Tohsaka Rin was my choice. <3

No comment. Google -> Mario Galaxy Rosalina Pics -> Google search images results -> clicked on one I liked best -> SuperSkarmory.net -> Settings -> Edit Avatar -> Done.

In conclusion I just like Rosalina.

I used Photoshop. I made a basic background with a linear gradient, then I dropped the render in another layer. I then used layer styling to make the render blend in with the background. Lastly, I added and stylized the text.

1. Opened photoshop, and made a basic background with a brown/red gradient.
2. Found a Godot render, placed it in a new layer, and repositioned it.
3. Changed layer blend mode to pin light.
4. Threw in some text, changed font and size, repositioned it, dropped layer fill level to 75%, then toggled with outer glow, satin, emboss, and stroke for the text layer.
5. Created new, and final, layer, and threw in a brown brush stroke and yellow one with a different brush.
6. Changed layer blend mode to vivid light.
7. Exported, uploaded, etc.
