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

[Nightfall Gloam 18,255]

Business cats... For some reason I find humour in that. Don't know why

Cropped image from this. http://r7ll.deviantart.com/art/Termie-Plushies-134981136

Checked to make sure I could use it. 

Adorable Terminator plushies.

She represents my oc. It's been awhile since working on her though.

Because Jasmine is cute af! <3333

I was trying to make a forum avatar in Smash Bros, and while doing a down taunt on top of the hydrant, I paused at the right frame. PAC-MAN had them seductive eyes. I thought ''Oh man. This is hot, and not NSFW. Perfect for an avatar''.

[~Sassy Dashie~ 712]

I chose mine because I have a major crush on Chris. Tall, great voice, super sweet, black hair, warm eyes adorable smile and sexy face...what more do you need? ha

I really like Steve Cortez...  I romanced him in my playthrough of ME3.  My mshep didn't romance anyone in the previous games(Mordin turned him down lol) so I decided to pick Steve, I just really like him as a character.  In my playthrough, Shep lives(I chose Destroy) and I can imagine them meeting up on earth somewhere after the fighting is done and getting married.  I just want Steve to have a happy ending  ...

Someone really special to me commissioned this image for me for my birthday last year, and it's my all-time undisputed favorite pony  Applejack in fall scenery which is my favorite season, so what's not to love? Honestly, it's probably my favorite image I've used yet.

[El Duderino 879]

My current avatar is my OC which is sort of my ponysona. I think that is enough explanation. 

[Vera Veil 1,732]

i went throu a previous pic switch before this one, but i dont have its image with me ... but i am using this one because i got tired of that pic and i didnt want a depressed looking Pinkamena as my avatar, so i chose this magically charged Pinkie instead .... coz she is cute

[Choros Isorropai 409]

This photo is of the late Alan Rickman outside of his films. He passed away earlier this year, so to honor his memory which I am fond of, I decided to keep the avatar up for the whole year. I find his career and person to be worthy of much respect.

It was silly and anime-styled XD

[Flugelhorn 10]

I like Pinkie. Also it was my very first avatar on another forum that held precious memories and dark times for me.

[Konsumo 151]

Zecora took me really long to make and I do like this zebra the most. I only use selfmade pictures for my avatar (not because I'm self-centered, I just think they represent me the most).

 

Actually, I sometimes switch between

[LittleCutiePie 113]

Because Wolf's Rains, Pokemon and Sailor moon... this is my three favourite animes !

Just wanted something vague because I consider it a temporary picture till I find something I like better.

[God Of The Void 296]

I have a natural instinct to protect others, which is why I chose my cutie mark. It is the Japanese kanji symbol for "shield."

[geemili 3]

My avatar is a character I came up with, named "ASTRO". His design was loosely based on R2D2's. If you squint, you'll see that his eye is copied from R2D2.

 

So why did I choose him as my avatar? Well, I like my avatar to be something I created. This guy looked pretty cool, and my previous avatar wasn't quite "up to par".

 

Actually, I had planned on drawing him digitally, but after multiple failed attempts, I gave up and just used a picture of the paper and pencil drawing.

[Luminance 2,186]

Incognito pony is best pony.

[CheeryFox 23,816]

<- Just look! LOOK I SAID! That's why! <333

[Luigi 7,869]

Well, let's just say I couldn't resist how cute Dashie looks in this avatar.

Both dragons and sharks are so fascinating that I combined the two and made a shark amphiptere. While it might not be the cutest thing out there, I still feel like it represents me in a way.

That's such a cool character indeed! Great choice for an avatar too.

Because Fluttershy and Pinkie are just too cute not be my avatar. Also PinkieShy.

I had just joined these forums this afternoon, and it took me nearly an hour to find a profile picture that would fit both the site's limits and my personality.

 

I'm not complaining though, as long as it gets the job done.
