Just like a rousing game of Hungry Hungry Hippos, this was a competition. Guyjin came closest to winning, but alas, you're all losers (with the possible exception of Joe Joe Joe Redifer). Anyway, it's an enemy wizard from my favorite RPG of all time: Ultima Quest of the Avatar, NES version.
It's the new avatar appreesh thread. I'm not so conceited that I would start the 'vestcoat's new avatar appreesh thread.' Others are welcome to blow their own horns. BTW, did bust3dstr8 just put up a new one? I didn't notice it moving before. :-k

Your new avatar is really cool, VestCoat. I thought of it as a dragon warrior (one that could possibly perform magic) when I first looked at it. Bust3Dstr8 has his "sway and punch Kunio-Kun" icon for quite a while up to this point (I've noted to first see it back around April).
Mine is still the best. I stare at it for at least two hours a day. Mine was voted "Best Avatar EVAR" on Entertainment Tonight as well as in Time Magazine. Shinobi should have wore some sunscreen!
I quite agree (though Black Tiger's is a close competitor to the type of greatness that it has). It makes you look like a serious butt-kicker, even when joking. I wanted to try to best it in a staring contest, but have never gotten the chance to...I wonder what would happen if both of Shinobi's eyes were poked :-"...

It looks as if a dragon, that only stands on two legs and wingless, is holding an egg on its belly and is constantly turning around. I also thought of it as a plant (specifically a tree or some kind of bush) swaying in the wind when I first had a glimpse of it (maybe its from Dragon Egg or Lode Runner?).
It was good that you were able to make a topic such as this, VestCoat. Since I change my avatar monthly, it'll help to show the new icons I have for others to see, instead of needing to post in any given topic to do so (what do folks think of my current Dragon Spirit if they wish to give an opinion, also?).

To get your own animated gif made, all you need is a camcorder, or camstudio (for rip off youtube videos) and Windows Movie Maker if you have to do alot of trimming, make a 4 second movie and upload it at gifninja.com

Get over yourself - some jokes just don't land. Your so called masterpiece was not particularly creative nor well executed.
Does look rather antish doesn't it? It's actually from the cover of one of the most popular TG hucard titles :)
Obviously it's from The Legendary Axe, but cropped down to just the head reminds me more of the cover of one of the least popular TG titles (the mandible shape and eyes are not quite right for a spider).

I was wondering about your avatar when you had first changed it, Nectarsis (which at the time appeared to be a red flag with an eagle-blade symbol on it). Where is that one, and the current icon from the split spear/trident, from? Your Gundam robot avatar will be missed nonetheless.
My avatar is a only 85% new since I've had it for a few weeks. Do you dudes like it? It was made in Photoshop from screenshots taken in MagicEngine.
It's definitely one of the cooler I've seen you made, Turbo D. I like how it has the lighting flashes in it, too. It's cool that you took it from the intro of Air Zonk, as well.

I like a lot, Sinistron. I always was impressed with the US boxart of The Legendary Axe since Black Tiger had first shown it on these boards. I have read in the past that there are species of spiders that have two eyes, but I am not sure of which ones.

I don't plan on getting into many flame wars or subject other users to my will (though I did get into a special tussle in the shoutbox two nights ago). My perferred style of avatar is to have a sprite or one surrounded by a portion of the level, anyway. I mostly asked since I'm in the workings of mastering the art of screenshot/sprite clipping. Hopefully, next month's can turn out to be more of that preference, in a way :wink:.

The redflag/eagle blade is the Neo Zeon Flag fro Gundam Chars Counter Attack, and the split spear/trident is the symclo from Code Geass. Both may make appearances as new tats someday ;)

Here is my new avatar, which I've had for a few days now. I wasn't sure whether or not to fix the distortion of it, but it was left alone since the resizing gives it some sort of interesting watercolor effect. I'll try to make the next one exactly 80 x 80 pixels in order to avoid this in the future.
I was thinking of having one from Bonk's Adventure with Bonk jumping in midair, since I though it was pretty cute and appealing, but it didn't turn out as well as I though it would. The sleeping Eggy Head enemies from Bonk's Revenge was such a nice picture for me to use, I saw.

I actually noticed your avatar outside of this thread and thought that it looked nice. You could try using a detailed big Bonk sprite from Bonk 3 for your midair pic.

Thanks, Black Tiger :). What I meant by not turning out well was that Bonk didn't look as cute as I though he would when I saw screenshots of him jumping. I did consider those animations from the other games, but they didn't look good enough to me, either. If I were to use one from Bonk 3: Bonk's Big Adventure, though, I would use the one player sprite facing right while doing so.
Here is a new originally created avatar. I've recently , and as far as I was concerned, it looked like a great game for the system (especially pertaining to the music), so I wanted it very much. This also marks the first perfectly made avatar that I've created, since it was made to be exactly 80 x 80 pixels (and thus with no distortion done to it).
This icon's source was from a screenshot on the Turrican entry of the PC Engine Software Bible (http://www.pcengine.co.uk/HTML_Games/Turrican.htm). Sunteam_Paul has allowed me to use any of the screens provided on there to create any ones I wish (I'll let him try to guess which picture this was taken from, though :wink: :mrgreen:).

No Kirby- no. Be advised- Turrican is perhaps the WORST Turbo game there is. It's certainly by far the shittiest platformer I own. It's so bad that although I never give away or sell my tg/pce games- I'd actually consider sending you my copy for free- but then again- that's something you send to those you hate- and you're a good kid.

I did read Michael Helgeston's review earlier, but he doesn't really elaborate too much on why it's bad aside from the factors being so (which I totally disagree with his view on the music from hearing the first level track, I think it was, and the graphics since they look like they're in the standards of the TurboGrafx-16), how it's hard, and it does not live up to the standards of the Commodore 64 and Amiga versions. The last one I can see being a possible large negative factor for it, but even if it was every bit of horrible as you two emphasize it to be, I'm still willing to check it out, at least :P.

Yes, that is a fine picture. I kinda wish The Shadow Chronicles didn't go with the CGI for the space scenes, or least not as much. It was a little too jarring for me going back and forth between the animation styles. Don't get me wrong, the CGI animation looked great, but it just clashed too much with the regular animation.

Never watch it though i don't care for robotech any more.
Since it all it was is a hack-job taking 3 different serise,not related to each other and editing them together.
At least these days you can get those serise in there original form uncut on dvd.
Also macross is it's own serise any ways with the latest being macross frontier.

Here is my new avatar for the month of November. I wanted to choose one that would fit Thanksgiving, and Pac-Man wearing his feathered fedora (I'm sure that's the type of hat that I've heard it to be mentioned before) makes him kinda look like a pilgrim (plus he eats a lot, too, which make him quite fitting for the holiday :)). I had trouble choosing one that wouldn't have the necessary details be cut off for the desired size or look too bland in color, so one with him jumping in front of a buliding was my best bet. This one was taken from a screenshot provided from the PC Engine Software Bible.
I have some bad news, though: As of December 31, 2008, AOL Pictures will no longer be providing its service of sharing photos online, and members are suggested to register an account with the partnered American Greetings PhotoWorks to keep providing photos displayed. This would be suitable to me for any of the photographs taken with a camera, but not for the avatars I make (I find this to be inconvieniet for them somehow). However, I've managed to perform another technique to display those icons on the Internet...

I like your Pac-Man avatar, though I have a love-hate relationship with the game. I'd say his hat is a tyrolean, though it looks more like a plain ol' fedora (or a homburg) in the animated show that the game is based on.

It finally allowed me to move from using Magic Engine to using the real thing. It has been modded to play TurboChips (Thanks again, Turbokon!), and I love it dearly.

Yeah I had no idea who it was but thought it was pretty cool.
Mine is just a cropped and resized pic I found on the internet. Not from a pr0n site or anything. ... Really. Nope, it wasn't. Not at all. :-"

I've seen that plenty of times on YouTube :P. I've heard in a few places that the character is name V, and he represents the ananymous user on a forum (is that correct? I'm not very keen on this character).

It feels like it's been EONS since I've last posted in this forum (though I had made my last post to announce Thanksgiving two days ahead in the "A Holiday Celebration Board" topic). I was very busy with some aspects such as final exams at UNLV, which I now have about a whole month off before classes start again, and I needed to desperately fix my source for hosting icons on Internet forums.
The avatar used for this December is from Don Doko Don (based off of a screenshot of the game from the PC Engine Software Bible). I thought that the main character(s) looked much like Santa Clause, so using one made from the title seemed to fit pretty well for the holiday season.
I'm thinking about getting a "perminant" icon pretty soon (one that does not require that I need to change every month, but can change anytime I wish). It may be created next month, from a game (series) that I had not made one for yet that I'm greatly fond of...

The beginning of a Guilty Gear XX #Reload match video from Japan
Every time these certain Sol Badguy and Venom players go against each other, they clash their weapons right after the words "LET'S ROCK" go off the screen.

He's a superhero really. Watch a movie called "V For Vendetta" (http://www.dullneon.com/_psychosis-arcs/images/hugo-weaving-V-for-Vendetta.jpg) (http://www.ashhaque.com/images/2007/10/_thumbs/500x2000-v-for-vendetta-movie-poster.jpg)

I have now entered the fray by resurrecting this thread with my new insanely b@d@$$ Avatar. Thus, the curse of Square-Enix that has been ravaging my soul is lifted/destroyed. 8) 8) 8) :mrgreen:

Ripped from an old Japanese Guilty Gear XX #Reload match video.
These two certain Sol Badguy and Venom players, right after the words "Let's Rock" disappear off the screen, they greet each other by clashing their weapons before fighting
