Lox earlier today said "It just makes me come up with some suggestion. Maybe we could start a thread 'avatars explained', where abandoned avatars can also be preserved as a pic too." I thought his suggestion interesting. Why do people here choose the avatars they do? Where did they get them? Is there a back story behind them?
So .... Since I've recently become a serial avatar changer, I thought I might start such a thread.
This was my first, and it lasted from when I first joined CF back in 2013 until relatively recently, which means I used it for nearly five years. It was made for me, from a photo, by MermaidHunter, one of the site's artists who has not been seen here for awhile if I am not mistaken. I wanted an avatar that showed me nailed naked and suffering on the cross, as well as one that gave a hint of defiance, or disrespect for authority, that mirrored my somewhat rebellious nature. I think MH did a pretty good job of that. The full-size version looked like this:
More recently I have changed avatars often, in part because I finally tired of the old one, but also because I wanted to feature some recent art done of me by other artists on the site. So here in chronological order with my thanks are the others (please correct me if I have attributed any of them to the wrong artist):
SkatingJesus
Wragg (Dux Rebellium)
Madiosi
Phlebas (Barbria Moria)
and most recently and currently .... Tree ... or was it someone else? In any case, I like it!
