Because I like hardboiled thrillers with mysterious, saucy women in peril. And I like gags, of course (though I actually added it here; it's not in the original pic).
I alternate between "froggy" avatars and ones showing Princes, or at least someone's idea of what a Prince should look like. I had one that was made for me by an English girl with HUGE talent, but it got old with my friends here on the 'Moon. This was the most Princely tag I could find.
I love the RTS series Command & Conquer. The base building aspect is what first stirred up my creative elements and ultimately got me into RPing.
The eagle represents the logo of the "good" faction in the game.
I have a thing for looking at slender, elegant women and the girl in my avatar fit the bill pretty nicely. I just enjoy the thought of watching someone prim and proper be potentially pulled in directions she normally wouldn't be pulled before in a multitude of different, deviant ways. lol Hey, it works for me!
I'm really just loving Charlie Day right now and the avatars I usually choose end up being awkward or absurd faces made by my current crushes. It's supposed to be both enticing and used as my reaction to everything everyone is saying around me.
This is my "permanent" avatar... I had a little English girl with tons of talent do it up for me, but some of my colleagues here in Games get a little tired of it now and then.
I wanted to have a picture of a sexy sorceress and looked again on google pictures for a new avatar. It was too big so I needed to shrink it via photoshop and tada! I had found my new avatar!
