The Avatar you're using
 
Okay, this is my first thread in "Other Trivia" Forum. So, I don't think if my action is right or not. The game just simple, Tell the truth about your Avatar! Is it yours....Or other people's made?....

I'm using my OWN made. But not with the Background.

curiousnathan November 17th, 2010 12:35 AM

Sorry buddy, I think this belongs in Other Chat or Other Voting Polls.

Anyway~ My avatar is actually an avatar from the Pokecommunity's icon wall. I thought it would fit into my "electric" theme well so I stole claimed it.

I thought so. Maybe I should ask the Mods if they can move this thread to the Other Voting Polls section. Thanks for the tips.

About your avatar. I see. Hahaha! Nice job anyway.

Aquacorde November 17th, 2010 5:56 AM

Mine is taken from a screenshot of a Pokemon Advanced episode because I did not want to steal any pretty Haruka art. Although I will probably end up doing so in the future.

alisaie November 17th, 2010 6:23 AM

Moving to Other Voting Polls~

This current avatar is from a fanart that I found a while ago. I was looking through my fanart folder and I noticed that it's kind of the image I've been looking for (I've been wanting an avatar with the o> hand position for a while). Thus, after messing 'round with it on Photoshop, I made it what it currently is. How long it's actually going to be around despite that though will all depends.

Signomi November 17th, 2010 6:28 AM

My current avatar is my own art.

Binary November 17th, 2010 6:45 AM

Well, it was made by me using a stock. Most of my themes are made by myself.
I just like messing around with Photoshop, I suppose.

Sydian November 17th, 2010 6:53 AM

Swiped mine from Hiiro who swiped it from LiveJournal. :x

mervyn797 November 17th, 2010 6:56 AM

Derozio made this theme for me! ^_^

Captain Fabio November 17th, 2010 8:03 AM

I just found it on Google.

Good old Google.

mondays suck November 17th, 2010 8:18 AM

I took some random Jumpluff picture from Google. Some fun distortion later, it had become my avatar.

Weeaboo Name November 17th, 2010 8:20 AM

From the Bleach Manga + purple stripes.

RYOUKI November 17th, 2010 8:26 AM

...Um, I found it lying in the internet. I mean, I would make myself an icon if I could! But I don't have any PS.. D:

luke November 17th, 2010 8:40 AM

It's the B&W sprite of the most perfect Pokemon in existence.

Limey-chan November 17th, 2010 9:33 AM

Siggy made it during a convo on Skype. It was too good not to use tbh.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ November 17th, 2010 9:42 AM

The image is fan art form Pixiv. The background is a pattern for GIMP.

And in case you're wondering, both are credited... mouseover my signature.

Kotowari November 17th, 2010 9:54 AM

Mine is from the Trading Card Game of D.Gray-man. Slightly altered in PS. (exactly the same for my signature)

AshPikastar November 17th, 2010 9:58 AM

I found a picture of my icon from a Manga colored one but I made it into a avatar .

donavannj November 17th, 2010 10:00 AM

I cropped mine from a screenshot I took of a YouTube video... hence the black bar at the top that I've been too lazy to crop.

Spinor November 17th, 2010 10:01 AM

What I have is something I like to call Digitracing ^__^

It's like tracing... but with a computer. I traced over one of my favorite faces of Iris.

Teechhnically, the avatar is made by me, but that hilarious pose is property of the guys up the ladder of the Pokemon Anime XD

Yuoaman November 17th, 2010 10:24 AM

I combined the sprites of the two best Isshu Pokemon and that's about it really.

Maraala November 17th, 2010 10:46 AM

Sammy's is from a fanart that Sammy found, mhmm

Aether★ November 17th, 2010 10:49 AM

#3
My mate made me this, some time ago.

Spherical Ice November 17th, 2010 11:08 AM

So I edited the Nidorino intro animation sprite thingy from FireRed. In fact, I've been meaning to replace the dodgy thing behind the ear. But yeah, I suppose this counts as a "I made it myself."

Stratos99 November 17th, 2010 11:35 AM

Random livejournal find. I'm on the hunt for another one though.

Agent Clank November 17th, 2010 11:43 AM

I found my avatar on Livejournal, same for the three icons in my signature.

Margot November 17th, 2010 11:44 AM

I used to make my own, but then I got a new laptop and photoshop isn't on it :( so I get all my icons from livejournal. they're better than what I did imo anyway haha

txteclipse November 17th, 2010 11:50 AM

Well, I used official art, but I modified it to make my theme. So I guess a combination?

mikey November 17th, 2010 11:55 AM

I usually make my own avatars, but my current one was found on LiveJournal.

Taemin November 17th, 2010 11:57 AM

Mine was technically already an avatar but it was for Plurk, and was just a crop out of the original fanart. Had no effects, etc.. So I cropped it more, resized it, added more of an orange look to it, did a few more touch-ups, and called it good.


Still not sure whether that's stealing or not, since the person only cropped a chunk out of a fanart.

Sammi November 17th, 2010 12:23 PM

I didn't draw the picture; it's official Persona 4 art. (Awesome image, right? :p) However, I did edit the image to make the icon. Take that as you will.

Alice November 17th, 2010 12:35 PM

Well, mine is stolen straight from ep 9 of pokemon.

KanadeTenshi November 17th, 2010 1:16 PM

Well, mine is stolen from my own wallpaper. It's also a part of my signature. It's Mio from K-ON which is currently my favorite anime.

Gunn November 17th, 2010 1:29 PM

Mine is ... well, Patrick with a Metallica t-shirt on. I screencapped it from the Spongebob episode "I'm With Stupid." I editted his shirt to look blank, searched on Google for the Metallica logo and added it in. :U Patrick now listens to Metallica.

Timbjerr November 17th, 2010 1:57 PM

You'd be amazed at the variety of avatars one can make by simply cropping concept art/sprites from various video games. :D

I intend to change my theme in the very near future and use a sprite edit I made myself. ;D

Livewire November 17th, 2010 2:00 PM

Mine is from a pretty big Golden Sun-themed forum. :D

EmeraldSerenade November 17th, 2010 2:02 PM

I stole it. I'm too lazy to make a good avatar -_-

Luka Megurine <3

Kevin November 17th, 2010 2:35 PM

A friend of mine named Google gave it to me. It's Amu from Shugo Chara.

Guy November 17th, 2010 2:41 PM

I snatched my avatar from livejournal, along with the three icons in my signature. n_n;

Corvus of the Black Night November 17th, 2010 2:48 PM

It's ripped right out of FE12.

PlatinumDude November 17th, 2010 3:50 PM

An old friend in Bulbagarden (Shiay) made this avatar for me. Even though we're not friends anymore, I still carry this avatar as a symbol of the good times I had in that place.

Archer November 17th, 2010 3:56 PM

To be honest, I forget where my avatar is from. I've been using it for about 3 years everywhere aside from PC.

Kenshin5 November 17th, 2010 4:05 PM

Same place I get most of my avy's, Photobucket.

Kura November 17th, 2010 4:57 PM

Mine's a homage to my favourite artist, Claire Wendling. So yes, it features her art.

インフェルノの津波 November 17th, 2010 5:03 PM

Well let's see

I got this from Safebooru because I wanted to do a theme on my favorite Uber, and then I strengthened the colors on Photobucket.

ManhattanTheStarr November 17th, 2010 5:25 PM

Meh, I simply drew this one.... =/

twistedpuppy November 17th, 2010 5:38 PM

I found mine somewhere on google.

Eucliffe November 17th, 2010 5:51 PM

My current avvie is from fanart that came from Pixiv. Most the avvies for any themes I ever make come from fanart. I do make a few adjustments half the time (such as strengthen the colors and whatnot), butyeah.

The 100 Mega Shock November 17th, 2010 6:08 PM

a good movie.

and some dude who had photoshop i guess

Okami Chi November 17th, 2010 6:11 PM

I indeed did make mine, I make everything I use. :D

Captain Hobo. November 17th, 2010 6:44 PM

I got it off of the default ones for the forum.

King Gumball November 18th, 2010 2:09 AM

It was made for me by SleepingCelebii off Serebi Forums. My one is pretty awesome ATM :D

I see. I don't really much like using the Default one though.

Ahh, Serebii. The very first Forum I've been into. I make a few visit there for certain times. I got here often than that Forum. Well, whoever made your Avatar, he/she is a good one.

tkallab November 18th, 2010 6:14 AM

Made it myself. To go with my signature.

Arma November 18th, 2010 6:19 AM

I just messed with the colors from the original Nintendo artwork

Harmonie November 18th, 2010 10:12 AM

I didn't make it, but I didn't necessarily steal it. It was from a site, and it said that we could use them if we wanted.

CuteBunny November 19th, 2010 8:50 AM

I searched for bunny avatars in google and I found this one!

WonderGirl November 19th, 2010 9:37 AM

Signomi made it, I just claimed it ^_^ Isn't he hawt? :D

Melody November 19th, 2010 10:32 AM

Derived mine from a render I found by using good 'ole Google.
I see no reason whatsoever to credit render artists unless they speak up and identify themselves...oftentimes you just can't know who to properly credit, and the ones who insert little signature bars into their renders are not being considerate to the people who will use it to create nicer images. That being said, most renders are copypasta'd and processed, and are not 100% original hand-drawn art.

So yeah, scaled render to create image...I didn't feel like putting a background behind it and ruining a perfectly good standalone image. Note that when I use renders I never claim to have made the image itself, just performed the required processing tasks to incorporate it into my theme.


My biggest beef with artists online of any kind is against artists who B&M when you use their image somewhere else online...even if you don't claim that you drew the image yourself. If you didn't want it posted, reposted, edited, and otherwise copied...then why the heck did you put it online? This goes the same for the crotchety spriters I see here on PC. If some n00b uses your sprites, don't B&M about it unless he actively says that HE sprited them.

Perriechu November 19th, 2010 11:20 AM

Mine means I'm FIERCE!.

I got mine of Glee Forums! I met a guy befriended him, we came close friends and he said he would make me an avvie and he did :D

Arcanine November 19th, 2010 11:27 AM

I made my avatar, but as for drawing the art and all of that... nope. I just use the awesome art from other people and put them into themes. My current avatar (or the character in my avy) is from someone on Pixiv by the name of [email protected]
I wish I could draw, but since I can't I'll just stick with making my crappy themes. XD

Ayselipera November 19th, 2010 11:48 AM

I found this avatar months ago on ffffound.com (website courtesy of poopnoodle) Which I still use for avatar hunting from time to time.

angel November 19th, 2010 11:53 AM

My avatar is a default from here. I picked it because I love Pikachu.

Mirby November 19th, 2010 12:55 PM

My character in the maid's attire in Dragon Quest IX.

Because I am the Official IRC Maid.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ November 19th, 2010 1:21 PM

I found my avatar on a website (just can't remember which one) but I know I went on google to go look it up, then went to a certain website to strink it down.....that's about it


:t354:TG

Ninja Caterpie November 19th, 2010 1:31 PM

The Sad Cabbage Pokemon. It is cool.

Corvus of the Black Night November 19th, 2010 1:36 PM

Just got a new one. Its borrowed from some wicked OA of the JRPG Glory of Hercules. hehehe

Amai November 19th, 2010 2:30 PM

I pick the option with the massive grammar failure in it.

Raiskit November 19th, 2010 2:53 PM

My avatar is a manga-scan from Shaman King that I coloured myself.

dragoniteuser November 19th, 2010 2:59 PM

It's just a cut-off of a simple Google images picture.

Know-Nothing Bozo the Non-Wonder Dog November 19th, 2010 6:18 PM

I made my avatar, although I certainly didn't put much effort into it. :P I just found this totally outdated picture of two of the members of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, shrunk it, cropped it, and made it look slightly less low quality.

Sydian November 19th, 2010 7:46 PM

Cilerba made my avatar and I looooove it! :)

Purple Materia November 19th, 2010 8:05 PM

A site with RPG Maker 2003 resources had this as a face for the program. I liked it, so I decided to recolour it to make it more like the character, as it was a recolour. I decided to make it bigger, which is why it's pixelated. I kinda like it that way.

Cold Fusion November 20th, 2010 2:23 PM

Eh, I just go onto a image website (normally photobucket) and use their icons, I have though put in my biography that I am using an avatar from a website and I don't know who made them. I would make them myself, but they sucked...big time.

Bloo November 20th, 2010 2:29 PM

Mine is an icon from LiveJournal. I usually like to use their icons, and give the maker's journal some credit in my signature.

Marshmellowguy November 20th, 2010 4:27 PM

I edited two sprites and recolored but this one is just a place holder while i work on a new one.

Stratos99 November 20th, 2010 4:47 PM

Got another one from livejournal to celebrate the latest installment of Harry Potter.

Purple Materia November 21st, 2010 2:11 AM

Ripped from "Heavy and scout think they are birds"

Oh Gary's Mod.

Soari November 21st, 2010 2:32 AM

I snagged the avatar and even the icons in my signature from LiveJournal, since I am such a lazy bum to actually make one for myself. xD

Stellar November 21st, 2010 3:45 AM

Mine's a simple animation using sprites from the Mystery Dungeon games. I hate recycling images in my sig for my avatar, so usually I just pick a sprite that matches my theme to use.

Percy Thrillington November 21st, 2010 4:50 AM

Artwork of The Arcade Fire's debut album. I thought it looked snazzy and I like their music so why not?
