Is there a way to find the source of an avatar ?

[Hag]

Sometimes, seeing some user's avatar makes me curious and I'd like to know which game it is from. Image URL does not give any useful pointer, so I was wondering if there was a way to know their source. Thank you, and have a pleasant day.

Ask the user

Ask the user

Yeah, I had this one figured out already actually. I was looking for a more automated solution for my curiosity sprees.
But since you're here, where's your avatar from ?

your best attempt would be to reverse image google search, though this will not always work and its not automated, but if you don't want to ask somebody directly its your best bet

Google Image search, tineye, and Yandex are all good ways to find where a picture originated from.

Can confirm that reverse image search indeed often works to find Codex avvies.

It's an anime avatar he's using. He'll deny it, it's "just japanese and just cartoon drawing and blah blah" — it's anime.

pictured: Shin Megami Tensei, and totally not anime according to the Grauken mega coping

It's the Helloween mascot.

If there is a place I can scrape to download them all in order I would do it.

There is, but it might not be entirely obvious.

Write a scraper/parser.

 

[Jonathan "Zee Nekomimi]

As stated above, either ask user, reverse image search, or look the gallery.

Write a scraper/parser.

There's one program that you can invoke for that purpose already installed pretty much on all Linux distros, if you invoke it with the right URL.

So after downloading the complete avatar collection, turns out for some reasons users avatars are copied from the master image and have their resolution data (and maybe other parameters) changed, so their MD5 checksums don't match.

You could probably compare with Imagemagick.

Anyway, send me the usernames, as PM if you need to.
