Avatar explanation thread: pictorial demystification
Reply
The only thing I remember about Sunstreaker is that he was killed in an early issue of the '80s Marvel comic, and never really reappeared until later, in a few background images. So yeah, he's rather minor. Sideswipe's less minor, but still unremarkable. Most G1 early characters didn't really ever do much, to be honest.

This is my favourite.

Why, oh why did I sell my Dreamcast?
Mine is nothing mysterious or fancy, like always. It's the fountain at Geneve. I love water.
Hotrod did alright for himself though.
Mine, has been variously a grab from FDS Monty On The Run, Lenneth Valkyrie and a stupid cat on a keyboard.

Now its a Digi style version of the ORLY / yARLY internet Owl, with appropriate digi words added.

Sideswipe was my favourite, as I liked his name, and he was the only one I could afford at the time, so I played with him for an age against imaginary enemies, until I got Optimus Prime and Megatron for Christmas.
I think Sheepeh has an excellent avatar. Good use of colour, etc.

He really does. It makes up for his godawful Ctrl-Alt-Delete image in his gametag.

Fact: I have 3 CAD T-shirts.




Please don't judge me on this. I bought them years ago (I got a free signed print!!) when a) it was a bit funny and b) I had no sense and a slight amount of money.
Mine is simply a pic of me, "cleverly" placed into the monkey frame on my old K750i. I feel a bit slack now, given how much effort you have all gone to to choose and make yours.

MR IMPERCEPTIBLY SHAKING HEAD IN DISGUST FACE.

I wish I could find the amazing comic that ridicules Ctrl-Alt-Delete. It's awesome. Especially the bit about how he just find pictures of the internet and motion blurs them rather than draw backgrounds. But I quite like Penny-arcade so I can't really talk.

"Dimrill, Draw me"

Wasn't much effort on my part.
I find or design most of Sheepeh's avatars. And CAD FTW..that is all!


Hm, my own is pretty obvious I guess...I am Shewolf. I have an obsession with wolves..and I love music/PC's.

I'm sure you could've plundered WYSNUU for an older picture of the Welsh Wizard. While searching for WYSNUU I found a link to my (still living!) Dead Journal and a picture of Dave Buml0r:

It was supposed to have this mash-up underneath it, but the link has long since died:

*coughs* Sunstreaker in fact didn't return for a LONG time, being one of a few G1 characters to return during the UK comic's final phase. Quite a good story too, I can still remember it - showing him being afraid, dishonourable, self-obsessed, rather than a 'heroic Autobot'. During the same black & white phase that had the 'Aspects of Evil' series, if you can recall that. *coughs*

Hello, Shewolf, and welcome.

Aside from XKCD I think all online comics are shit these days. Even XKCD is rubbish, I just like the fact I understand it 100% :(

Aside from the Wolf/Sheep connection, what's the relation between you and Sheepeh? Why do you find him avatars and not me? :(

Though I'm quite happy to make or find avatars and signatures for anyone.

Whilst I am so far away from the location of 'cool kids headquarters' as to not be able to locate it with a GPS phone, a large boat and the financial backing of the daughter of the bloke from Neighbours/24/Ugly Betty/etc, I will put my neck on the line and say the following:

MR INSERT HUMOUR HERE FACE will be a fad.

'This' is like black. It will never be out of fashion.

I posted a similiar thing another forum a few hours ago; I estimated it as a 90% drop. Obviously I'm even more desperate than you?

You could not be more wrong. You could try, but you would not be successful.

It is the new meme. It is, as they say, the new black. Children will look back on their days of shouting "suits you" and "I'm the only gay in the village" in the playground and shake their heads with wonder as to how they could have been so sucked in to catchphrases that were so immeasurably inferior to what we here have created.

No, it is like taupe. It was never *in* fashion. It was, in fact, always shit.

Do we have any talented seamstresses or seamsters (?) who could make me a stuffed Dimrill? Want one.
My fizz keeps popping up in unexpected places.

That IS unexpected - Craster doesn't have a porn folder. He doesn't have genitals. Down there is just smooth, cheap, flat plastic.

I'm no seamster, but I have stuffed him like a Thanksgiving Turkey.
