and here's mine - little robot guy i made - dead simple

 

[Rico]

Mine is so secret no one will ever guess it's origin

lol

As for mine, JKII and Quake are good guesses, but both wrong. It's from Unreal Tournament 2003. The image is actually a rotation of a freeze-framed battle in the interior of one of the bases.

It's blurry, but there's a larger (almost 600kb) version here: http://www.thaworx.co.uk/img/ctf-face.gif

That's okay Rico, I cheated on my guess anyway. Right clicking your icon shows the filename to be "ctf-avatar.gif". I figured CTF probably stood for "capture the flag", which is popular on those types of 1st person shooters. I shoulda guessed the other one.

Flack

@Esn - Tis a nautilus am i right?

Chambered Nautilus, to be precise.

BTW, GurtyGurt; take that image to http://www.myimager.com and see what you can do... h34r:

Ermm... well... my avatar is... me

 

[Rico]

Ermm... well... my avatar is... me

I think that's what they're supposed to be. Too bad few people use their real faces, eh?

 

[EvilDragon]

Yeah, so you can recognize me and hit me in my face if you don't like my posts

I just uploaded mine but switching it from bitmap to jpg made it smell (well actually it made it look a bit dodgy). Does anyone have any hints for avoiding that sort of thing?

 

[Rico]

Yes. Either use gif/png (both don't mess up the original image) or resave as jpeg with better quality (lower compression).

- Rico

p.s. gif/png offer transparency, too, so your avatar wouldn't have a white bg.

 

[CapnTree]

Thanks Rico! Ill get it fixed as soon as i can be bothered

 

[Loonie]

Behold... Big Brother.
