What avatars are you using currently, and where are they from? I thought it might be interesting to start a thread about this (it's been popular on some other forums I'm a member of). Since I started the thread, let's start with me. Mine is obviously this scorpion-within-a-triangle symbol: It was specially made for me for a friend who knows how to reproduce symbols, and this particular one is the symbol of the villain Steranko in If Looks Could Kill ("Teen Agent" to those of you in the UK), most prominently seen here: Not 100% accurate, but she did the best she could and I love the symbol (and the movie) so much that Steranko's scorpion is at the moment being used as my avatar on every forum I'm a member of just about! I love when people can't figure out where it's from and ask me about it, but now all you guys know the secret.

My avatar the title card used in the three Foxy cartoons by Warner Bros. back in the 1930's. For me, it was a simple case of print-screen from YouTube, then paste, scale down and upload.

I thought they were tattoos at first. That would be cool.

Yeah it does look like tatoos. I'm not sure if I'm gonna make my oc be able to do that. The tatoo-like energy was to show an increase in power (ex. Super form), but I'm thinking about not keeping it.
Your Scorpion symbol looks cool as well. I knew I saw it somewhere before.

Mine is Setsuka, as seen in Soul Calibur 4. I scoured the internet for screencaps of her once I found out she was confirmed for the game and this was one of my favorites. Now if only I could get my mom to style my hair like Setsuka's debut in Soul Calibur 3, it would go well with my own red Kimono and parasol

Yeah, it looks like they modified Setsuka from her SC3 form. Didn't she have darker hair then? The pic looks good
I changed my avi. Same guy different mood.
