No, not that kind.

So where is your avatar from? Care to share what avatars you use, or discuss avatars in general?

So where is your user picture from? Care to share what pics you use on other forums? (I know we used to have a thread about this, but it seems it was lost in The Great Crash.)

My current avatar, and all my previous avatars, are from Gunnerkrigg Court. So it's probably safe to assume that all my future avatars will be from there as well.

Yeah what's with the 100x limit anyways? 250x is perfect for the best visuals, but they instead stick with a 100x limit.

So apparently after five minutes I decided that it didn't quite swing as a proper avatar so I just went back to this old thing...which is also mine.

Fits the season better too I suppose.

[up][up]I had to discard a lot of avatars that I made out of art due to that. The 100 limit can make it ridiculously hard to crop and resize images and still have it look decent to good....

I might risk going on Deviant ART just to find better fan art.

It's still gonna be Bernard though.

What'd you expect?

Just a warning as I get most of my avatars from Deviant Art. While there is a lot of good art there is also a lot of weird stuff (Fetish Fuel works pretty much) and there is some bad stuff (depends on the fandom).

Exactly. That's why I said "I might risk going on Deviant ART"

If I find something that turns me off Black Books forever I'll only have me to blame.

Is there a restriction about having "fuck" in your avatar? I know there is about having "fuck" in your title or sig, but idk about the avatar.

(the avatar is [1] just FYI)

Ok, so which one do you guys think? (I will crop whichever one I choose)

one

two

three

I'm thinking number one or staying with my current one, but I'm still indecisive as fuck.

The other option is making it this Boosh one

Out of curiosity, would this be acceptable to link a signature with?

But seriously, does anyone know if "fuck" in avatars is restricted?

Why don't you ask any of the mods or openly in Ask The Tropers where they'll likely see it?

Well the first link is my current av anyway.

I quite like it. I might keep it for a bit.

Back to this classic: Bernard Gilliam’s parody of Raphael’s cherubs, in the form of Stephen Dorsey and Thomas Brady.

I kind of want to make a laptop decal of this.

I like this Bernard a lot, but I'm thinking of having a Skulduggery Pleasant avatar for Halloween tomorrow, and then change back to Bernard again. Thoughts?

[up]You can do that. I was initially going to do it too but every damn freaky work I found were being absolute nightmares when I tried to turn them into avatars.

And then stumbled upon the work for my current avatar. All credit to the artist....

Breaking from my usual "Religious Radicals With Delusions of Grandeur" shtick for the opposite. A guy who is way to busy being humble and virtuous to get anything done.

Any methods or programs that can make this not look like garbage in the 100x limit?
