I browse many threads daily on PC, and the first thing that would capture my attention at times wouldn't be the content of a member's post, but their avatar and/or what's in their signature.

Whether it be a theme, some text, a trend, a lyrical ballad or a meme; when it's in your space, I will want to know the following...why is it there?

My theme is of my new OC, Kinarii, and it was done to keep consistency with my themes/profiles on other sites (Twitter and deviantART). Plus I'm proud of the piece, and I have a tendency to reuse a work all over the place if I really like how it turned out.

Those are interesting reasons, guys. I'm glad I made this thread after all. :D

There are a few things I try to keep as consistent as possible. That I make the images in my signature, I keep it free of anything that might not be as important and the key element of my avatar and signature: I keep the focus on my character.

She is my portrayal and I've stuck with her as my character for almost three years now, I also find that she is the best representation of my personality, so I try to keep her in every theme I end up changing into, and to do that I would draw her time and time again and exercise my drawing skills in the process; if I ever draw something I particularly like, then I'd make a theme set out of it, which is what I've done for this theme and others before that.

This is a temp signature. Basically, one of my favorite hotels (which served me well on three different occasions) is no longer listed on the chain's web site, and I took the news pretty hard, harder than I took the loss of a family member. Because that hotel was a part of my family. I'm paying homage to a hotel whose life ended too soon (though it may re-emerge as part of a different chain, it just won't be the same:/ )

Normally, I would have a cute anime girl there, because I like cute things.

Avatar: Uhm...I dunno.

Siggy: I just put a bunch of random stuff there. I'm going to change it once I get the chance...I'm thinking of a theme but I don't know what yet. Maybe Fullmoon? Takuto is like my favorite character...but I also really like Madoka. If I used Madoka I could embrace my slightly less innocent personality (what?) but Takuto is just too cute...

Decisions, decisions.

I really am working on a theme, though ^^;

My avatar is Raistlin Majere, arguably the most popular character from the Dragonlance books. He also happens to be my favourite fictional character of all time :3

My signature is an excerpt from The Dark Lady Sonnets by William Shakespeare. Not only do I find it beautiful and intriguing, but also, the title. "The Dark Lady Sonnets." In Dragonlance, there is a general of a dragonarmy known as The Dark Lady.
All of this relates back to my passion for reading.
I will always
Swear thee fair
And think thee bright
Who art dark as hell
And black as night

I love that sonnet :3

I believe it's in the book Tithe by Holly Black. I had a whole list of quotes from her books and I think that's one of them.

Welllll, my current theme features Lyn-Z from the band Mindless Self Indulgence because she's that awesome. XD; Honestly, though, I don't really have a reason for why I picked her.

The lyrics in my signature are from Do You Feel by The Rocket Summer. They're my favorite lyrics at the moment. :D

Avatar: A picture of a guy I found who I think is super gorgeous, I'd like a boyfriend who looks like that. =p

Signature:
For the picture - Just a picture I found, I think it's so cute. "You make me wanna draw those stupid little hearts."

For the text - Many people on here think it's emo, I could care less, I'm not emo at all, but I love what I have there, plus I love how all the different fonts look together. Text from my signature is always from lyrics or stuff I make up.

i wanna be the wind that fills your sails,
& be the hand that lifts your veil.
& be the moon that moves your tide,
the sun coming up in your eyes.
be the wheels that never rust,
& be the spark that lights you up.
all that you've been dreaming of and more,
so much more, i wanna be your everything.. <3

paired with alternative <3

Usually I would have graphics I've made as my theme set, which don't really have any meaning to them, they're just there so I can show off my work. But I've been a bit lazy lately, which causes me to be in a graphic's slump, meaning I'm having trouble thinking of an idea or style for my graphics. When this happens, I just make an avatar from an image that I like, or that portrays my current mood. I felt like being serious; so I looked for an image that gave itself a serious sort of mood. As for my signature, it just has the people I care for most.
