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

[Dan. 1,825]

Okay here goes..

I cosplay as Baymax and visit very sick children in the hospital through Variety (A children's charity in my city.) I also love the Phoenix Wright series of games..they were the first to really challenge me in a long time. 

The mythical creature is also my spirit animal..it's a symbol of power and rebirth for me.

[Dashy 4 Ever 4,832]

Because I'm a Sondash fan. 

Second of all, the photo was cute for me. 

[Meson Bolt 2,647]

Well, I actually commissioned a very lovely artist on DeviantArt (named UltimateNightcore) to draw a profile pic of my OC for me. It would be kind of rude to not use it after I asked for it, you know?

Also, yes, it's my 'sona, Meson Bolt.

My avatar is a pony version of Squall Leonhart from Final Fantasy VIII and my signature is a picture of an MLP OC named Paul Peoples. Squall Leonhart is one of my all-time favorite video game characters and Paul Peoples is one of my all-time favorite MLP fan-created characters. I just adore so much the stern, yet passionate look in their stares.

My current avatar is from the newest Equestria Girls special, 'Rollercoaster of Friendship'. I only change my avatar when a new EQG movie/special which doesn't happen all that often given what we get from it.

[RareGems 175]

I want to channel my inner Rarity, and I think she is a lovely one. 
I simply getting to pick an Equestria Girls avatar all the time. I just love the designs a lot.

If it ain't broke, why fix it?

[Olly 1,008]

I could've gone with one of the many images of Sunset losing her cool during the special but that isn't really my style.

[Cash In 21,489]

...I like Sunset

[Ziltoid the Omniscient 286]

Because I am Ziltoid. And the picture is Ziltoid. 

[Octavia Heartstrings 28,397]

Because it's Fluttershy and I love Fluttershy so much! 

[Ganondox 899]

It’s from an original piece of artwork I created, and it’s just the best looking face from all the art o did. That’s it. 

[Appley Hooves 136]

Cuz AJ is best pone. 

Also cuz this was my steam avatar for a while. Might go back to it.

[SDP40F amtrak 2,441]

Because I love Thomas and friends as kid

[CypherHoof 26,479]

I tried to come up with a concept for an OC, and juggled pieces (and cutie mark designs) until I found a good fit; I don't really have any artistic skill (or I would try to customize the design a bit) so went with a ponymaker (longer term, I think I should learn how to use opentoonz and how to recolour a puppet, but my attempts to teach myself to draw with a tablet, even with a base, have only met failure so far )

But yeah, been happy with my avatar and name, which fit well the OC backstory and design I imagined (not that you can see the cutie mark much given I have the Paint of Innocence covering it, but that fits too ) so had that since I joined the site really.

[CandyCorn 427]

My avatar is my ponysona, Fangirl Mode. It was also drawn by someone named Prophet who was willing to do it for me. <3 So, I thought that was really nice of them.

[Guest]

My avatar is cozy Citri because I wanted to draw something cozy. She's very likely playing Animal Crossing on her 3DS there, which is what I also do often. 

[Props Valroa 25,971]

I chose it because someone drew it for me, and I wish to honor that and it also looks great.

[Angle Alastor 3,805]

i picked it becouse someone made my oc in more of a cleaner look then the oc maker one , and he is resemblance of me and i also like purple as my favorite color which is why his mane and aurora are purple : 3

[Brobot 1,436]

cause mecha Naruto is unstoppable and hilarious 

[CandyCorn 427]

I chose it because I love Princess Luna, and I thought this particular pic of her blushing was super cute. <3
