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

It caught my eye and I felt it was time for it

[Tacodidra 61,102]

I like switching avatars once in a while – and having different ponies there. Most of my avatar ponies are from the Mane 6, but I've had a few exceptions. I decided to have Coco Pommel on my avatar, as I'm on Team Manehattan in the MLPF World Cup and I already had two Rarity avatars before. And I chose the picture because of how adorable it is.

My new avatar is based on my oc and is the first time I've actually got to bring him to life. Before I had a description of my oc now I have somewhat of a visual of him.

It's Querch. Not really an MLP OC but more of a ponified OC. He's originally from an original universe I never went anywhere with. That said, he's a very old character and it's been over a decade since his inception. This ponification isn't a "true" ponification because it isn't his actual color scheme. His real color scheme is unnatural and would make it clear that he's a demon of sorts -- which he indeed is. You could call this altered color scheme a disguise.

As for what kind of demon he is, he is a tormentor. Because he's a rogue demon, he does things his way. Children are off-limits but adults are fair game. The older his victim, the more ruthless he gets. Wisdom and discipline of the mind will give his victim some immunity to him. Enlightenment gives the victim total immunity to him.

As for the picture itself, it's a commission. 

Hope this was interesting.

Because he's my hero and my bae, and I absolutely adore him. 

[Methuselah 291]

Because I have a lot in common with Fluttershy.

[碇 シンジン 27,431]

I wanted to pic another but it didn't fit in there so only thing I had for spare was this 

[Lil'muffin 13]

I really like Halloween even those it's not quite the time for it and I have long brown hair 

[Sparklefan1234 170,061]

I made my avatar for Twilight Sparkle/Friendship Day & I love it so much that I decided to stick with it for a while. 

[Flow 1,625]

I only picked it cause it's my namesake OC.

[Angle Alastor 3,805]

i have it as my profile pic becouse sulfur made it and he is my persona as well if i was in ponyville : 3  and it does look awsome ! and a little sexy xD  lol

[Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,440]

'Cause Stone Cold said so!

[Frostgage 7,975]

Because I need to do my Rubesty. Also she is reacting to every post I make with utter shock hehe

[CandyCorn 428]

I chose it because I absolutely f***ing adore Jensen's smile. <3

I was trying to find Dusknoir fan art and stumbled across it, and I think it looks neat.

Because Patamon is my favorite Digimon, and he's sooooo cute. <3

[Thuja 3,659]

I have no idea who this guy is but I really like him, he's one of the characters from Cyberpunk 2077!  Doesn't hurt that he's kinda cute ^3^!!!!!

 

[MangoFoalix 24,944]

Why? Because Twilight is cute!

[MidnightDawn 500]

I chose mine because my loyalty is to Princess Luna and knowone else. Although I do change it from time to time so it will either be Luna related or Vinyl related and maybe something cute (depends how I feel)

[CandyCorn 428]

Because Clayne is my hero, and he's soooooo cute in this picture. 

[Cynthia Mintwing 2,216]

Because the face expression on my avatar is what some of my teachers think I look like or feel all the time. Lol.

 

also I have a list of favorite ponies so I tend to change my avatar to another pony, like Twilight or a less popular pony like Misty Fly and Fleetfoot.

[Mirage 24,751]

Because...Luna. And my friends seem to like it.

[Lucky Bolt 35,062]

My profile pic is me and my boyfriend's ponysonas together...and why did I choose it? Because I love him!

[Discordian 6,015]

Because Discord's episodes at the beginning of season 2 were what brought me into the brony fandom. He was my favorite character for a long time until Starlight Glimmer came around. I thought he deserved a more dignified look as well so there was only one choice for an avatar.

[Hardway Bet 96]

Because smiles are contagious! But mostly, I just needed something high-contrast and eye-catching, and I only have so many finished pieces to choose from.
