What's with your avatar?

on Monday, December, 10, 2007 1:10 PM
This is like "what's with your name", but with avatars. Some of those avatars are pretty bizzare, any backstory or explanations?

Mine is the logo for my tour group on guitarhero.com, Deadly Disks of TRON (now recruiting new members!).abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

My current avatar is basically just me rezzing in and out of the digital world of TRON.

In the time just before joining TRON-Sector, I noticed that there were a lot of really cool looking custom avatars. I figured everyone here was an amazing digital artist. I didn't want to show up for the formal without the proper jacket and tie, so to say, so I sat down for a couple of hours and pounded out my animated rezzing avatar.

The TRON-ized image of me I made in 2002, shortly after getting my 20th Anniversary TRON DVD. I took that, and animated a wire frame version of it drawing in and undrawing back out, hoping it would fit in with all the other cool avatars here.

Come to find out shortly after joining, it was Sketch, our own resident pixel pusher and artist of all of TRON-Sector's digicons (and then some), who had made most of the cool custom avatars I was admiring. Who knew all that cool was coming out of a single guy, huh?

So, that's my avatar, and a brief story of how it came to be.

For anyone who's wanted to see a larger version of it, here it is:



I had to shrink it down for the 60x60 avatar specification here.

I'll spare you the widescreen, HD, 3D, holographic version of it.

Well, I had a really crummy avatar when I first joined Tron-Sector. I also had a different user name back then, too.

Like TheReelTodd said, everyone here had awesome avatars. Most of them were courtesy of our resident artist extraordinaire, Sketch. So after a while, I felt I had to at least try to make a better one.

My current avatar is better, though still not great. I'd like to create an even better one some day. I just took a screenshot in Tron 2.0 and slapped part of my user name over it, in big letters.

If you want to know how I came up with my dumb user name . . . well, you can probably guess how that came about.

mine is a graphical representation of my character in the RP threads.

long story short, it's a better version of an ICP, gone renegade, and has a big corruption scar across his face. [i've yet to decide how he got it...]
originally, it was this:


in terms of where my avatar came from, Sketch posted something on here about this avatar he created that was up for grabs, i claimed it, asked him to turn it red [it was blue at the time] and stick the corruption scar on, and boom, there you go, my avatar.

Mine is an unamed skeleton bot that goes along with my banner that I created in photoshop. Created a glitched monitor style to go along with the grim look of all the killer robots shown in the signature. I've already pledged my allegiance to the machines, how about you?

I've switched avatars many times at this site. Originally used a tron-style persona here, but after a while it didn't really feel like me. Can't ever seem to find the right one that reflects myself. Pretty sure I'll switch to another one soon. Would like another animated one if I do.

Photoshop really is awesome.

Have you ever entered any photoshop contests, Sketch? You'd probably come up in a pretty high position. www.worth1000.com hosts photoshop contests, some results of which I've given the honor of being my desktop wallpaper. :{ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I've only had two avatars here. One was a badly drawn picture of me Tronified.

The second one is by Sketch when I casually bribed him with awesome quality Tron screenshots of the backgrounds-- I mean, he graciously randomly gave me the avatar!

Hey, death-program, welcome to TRON-SECTOR! Havn't I played you in TRON 2.0?

Anyways, to get an avatar, go to your profile edit screen by clicking the edit button under your username at the top of the screen. Then scroll down to avatar and enter the URL link for your avatar. I started a post on avatar issues and found out that you can get a photobucket.com account for free and upload pictures to there. Then, you can get the URL code from there and paste it into your avatar URL box in the edit screen. Simple, simple... *Head implodes from overload of information*

Haven't done any online contests like that. Very cool site. Looks like it would be fun.

Mine is a spark. My computer won't let me do small animations, and I can't afford Photoshop, so this is the best I could come up with. It's not too bad.

Mine is currently the old "running man" sprite from Intellivision games. I just made him blue, like Tron.

Mine is a terminal texture from the Shock Texture Upgrade Project (an attempt at bumping up the quality of system shock 2's textures.)

The Reel Todd and Prankster Bit have my votes so far.

My avatars usually have a Bubsy Bobcat theme. I have a avatar, let me see if I can get this to work...


That is a combination of Bubsy and Clu from the first TRON movie. I tried to submit this Bubsy to compliment the Mario and Sonic made to look like TRON and Sark but I never heard back from the people I submitted it to here on the TRON Sector.

The Blue ball was Bubsy's sidekick Arnold the Armadillo rolled up in a ball and floating in the air like Bit.

Anyway, that is the story of my avatar. I liked Bubsy on the Atari Jaguar and I collect Bubsy stuff like I do TRON stuff.

Bubsy 3D was the best game ever made. It got the prestigious nonexistent Gold X Award.

@ Tron.dll

I figure it's no longer the band logo, but rather a grid bug.

Along with the subject, I don't have a cool Tron avatar. I looked and looked for this one just to find out this site had it already.

It's a backlit Tron, nothing special.

Yes, it's a gridbug creature that I made in Spore. I plan to change my avatar soon.
