mega thread Why did you choose your avatar/profile pic?

[Wingnut 6,988]

My current avatar shows Applejack and Fluttershy trapped in Discord's cage. Fluttershy is naturally greatly hurt by his betrayal. So is Applejack but instead of breaking down in tears she comforts her friend and gives Discord what might be the best death glare of the series. :okiedokielokie: I personally thought that was a very powerful scene. This is the kind of pony AJ has been ever since a very young age. We may never know what tragedy befell Applejack's parents. But we do know that it forced her to grow up very fast it's why she constantly puts the needs of others ahead of her own.  This trait is very evident here.

 

I apologize for the poor quality screencap but that's all I've been able to find so far. I'd love to see a fan artist redo this in their own style and I would switch it lickety split. It would be awesome if Mysticalpha were to reprise this shot!

It was created for me *blushes at my signature*

 

It's of my ponysona/fursona Mana Lai Ayerus~ her cutie mark is to represent Creativity since I make custom pony art figures. 

 

Colors are creative liberty taken upon the creator of the image~

 

When I color my 'sona, I usually give her lavendar or deep dark purple harr

Hello guys!

I was just wondering you choose or made your own avatar anyway

 

Format of post

[Picture of avatar (in case that you change it)

 

Your reason

 

Here is mine

image.jpg

 

I MADE this avatar because the suit she is wearing represent my favorite costume, which is a black coat and tie, and Glasses. The glasses were there because when I was a young kid. I tried to wear an eyeglasses and it made me look nice but I just borrowed it. I want to buy it but my parents doesn't want to because I had no eye problem. The suit and tie were there because when I unlock this costume in rock band 2 . It became my favorite that I used many times. So I made myself a version of it in Minecraft skin maker. And used it when playing. So I combined the glasses and coat n' tie to make them perfect partners Here was the result

(Don't get it, it's mine!) image.jpg

So Why not I will make a pony version of it? So I started using applications to edit it then booyah! Then I made an equestria girls version of it

Well there is other stories to tell you but I don't want

 

UPDATE

image.jpg

 

I got a new avatar because I heard the release dates of the next-gen consoles. So I stick them up with a PS4.

I want to put Xbox One box on the right originally but it's hard to edit so I just put one box instead.

The whole "Black suit, white shirt, red tie, and glasses" is something the Nostalgia Critic wears.

 

I chose this avatar beause it represents 2 things I like: Ponies and Daleks. I want to have a Nostalgia Critic one though....

My previous avatar (cropped from this) was meant to make me seem like a person who stands alone partly due to trust issues. Recently though, I've decided that I'm going to move away from being a lone wolf and give being with people another chance. Only this time I'm more wary of what to look out for when I see it.

[DND 2,355]

I messing around on Pixiv and spamming up a fav storm and felt like I should have a Japanese art styled Luna again for my avvie. ^^ Huzzah.

[Lightwing 12,967]

My avatar is the result of looking for an avatar for the Non-Pony Avatar Day :3

 

Is Lightning,from Final Fantasy XIII

[Proton 565]

It's Luna doing a funny face.

Need I say more?

[Barbaloot 198]

This is my Xbox live gamerpic. it came with the Ikaruga pic bundle. I actually like it a lot.

[Starflower 323]

I had Fluttershy as my avatar on here for a while now and I tend to make it as my "permanent avatar" but I got bored of it. xD 

 

Right now I have orange Florges. Florges is my favorite fairy-type Pokemon in the 6th generation. <3 

[SeraphStar 398]

Truthfully, the reason I chose this pic of Luna is because every other one I tried was too large to be accepted DX

 

But this pic is in my Luna library for a reason.

[Deae Rising Shine~ 55,280]

Non-Pony day

 

This is Jenson Button, formula 1 driver and champion from 2009 and my favourite F1 driver

[aoEAF2FBvC0MIo2Q 3,673]

This is my avatar for "Non-Pony ID Day". It's a Metroid board so I needed something related to the series. Not only that, I had a dark and dehumanizing way of thinking back them so I needed something more... dead. This fit the bill quite nicely. It's the avatar I started with over there and haven't changed it since in the almost three years I've been there. That's not counting that experiment I did where I donned a pony avatar over there for about a week. It was a resized and cropped pic of this one. It didn't turn out as obstructive or obnoxious as I thought it would but in the end, donning a pony avatar over there wasn't what I really wanted to begin with so I changed it back.

 

P.S. the forums site has a dark background. It looks kinda... odd... here on a white background.

You know, you could just resize and/or crop pictures. There's actually a site especially made for that among other things. Here you go.
