Avatar Gallery Submission Thread

[Atrokkus]

well, that's your choice and taste.

but you can't argue the fact that avatar has nothing to do with what you have to say or something like that.

plus, i'm an artist myself, that's why i kind of value visual eloquence, not only verbal, so to speak.

Be known for your positions, arguments, and style, not for the picture under your name.

 

[Ap_Jolly]

You don't need a thousand words to say "I'm a moron", or "I like Goatse", or "I like to drive people into epileptic seizures or make them throw up by flashing animated pictures at very high rate"

 

[Atrokkus]

oooooooooooh...
you're so dull.

i'm not an avatar-fetishist.
i don't belive that avatars can make me "known."

I just *FEEL LIKE* having my own picture under my name


If you're so hard against it, then why do you use the skin on the site? why not just make a black-n-white picture-less forum, since it's only the text that matters?

 

[Ap_Jolly]

Because of ergonomics. A good skin makes the reading easier on the eyes.

 

[Atrokkus]

That's right, but also becaue of purely aesthetic inducement.

Or, in other words, looks pretty ^_^

 

[Ap_Jolly]

Pretty doesn't necessarily mean ergonomic. Bright colors and high contrasts can make for a very pretty board, but they will make you go blind two weeks later.

 

[Atrokkus]

WEll, such awful deisng as you describe may seem pretty to some people void of any artistic sense, but for me it would seem ugly as shit.
Pretty = ergonomic for me.

 

[Spazmo]

Just go ahead and post the avatar you would have if we let you. I suspect it will argue our case for us.

 

[Atrokkus]

Okay.

My avatar (original, did it myself by combining different art-elements):

Also, I have one funny avatar. I use both, it depends on the forum ^_^

Can't decide which is more appropriate here.


Hey, can you allow me to use one of these?

 

[Spazmo]

No. You've capably proven my point about shitty custom avatars, just like I expected.

 

[Psilon]

Animated avatars are deserving of nothing but scorn.

 

[Vault Dweller]

Okay.

My avatar (original, did it myself by combining different art-elements):

Most people aren't responsible enough to have custom avatars (see the beginning of this thread). Standard avatars keep dormant gay fantasies under control

 

[Sarvis]

Honestly I like the cyborg head one...

 

[Vykromond]

Yeah, seriously. The metal one is better than the one he has now, for Pete's sake! It looks like a portrait from some sci-fi cRPG (maybe it is, but I'm not awake yet).

The other one is just bad, though.

 

[Surlent]

No custom avatars please. What I've seen from my short lurking visits at nma and dac, most of the avatars there are hideously perverted. Especially pooper's former avatar at dac, that dick head. It scared the shit out of me.

 

[Atrokkus]

Aha, but what doesn't scare you to death is reading their perverted posts! ^_^

VD, your paranoia about gayish fantasies is disturbing... it seems as if any custom avatar is gayish fantasy in your eyes.

And I posted the second avatar just for fun ^_^


So, will you let me use my avatar (the elf-cyborg)?

 

[Spazmo]

...no! Never! Stop asking.

 

[Atrokkus]

please! ^_^

 

[fnordcircle]

This is the stupidest forum on the internet.

 

[Naked_Lunch]

I beg the differ:

[Nicolai]

You beg the differ?

 

[Atrokkus]

By the way, Nicolai already uses the same avatar as my current.

What can be a better reason to allow me to use my own, aforeshown avatar?

 

[fnordcircle]

You should give it up dude.

 

[Atrokkus]

Hush!
We shall never surrender!
