FEATURE: Explain Your Avatar

Everyone who's anyone has one, and we all like to flaunt them! No, it's not the stuff below the belt, it's the Avatar on the left side of the screen. Here's a chance to talk about yours and why you picked it!

Ever logged on here and noticed that someone has a tiny avatar that just totally grabs your attention? Whether it is some D-cup's bouncing bossomage or it's a never before seen zombie version of Superman, I find that our CMB members have got a wide variety of interesting, engaging and sometimes bloody creative(!) avatars that they use...for a reason.

For some, the reason is a matter of convenience. They were too tired or simply can't be bothered to find an avatar that truly captured the message they care about when they aren't so tired or can be bothered:



For others it's about ownership and accuracy. Their loyalty to a character forces them to find an avatar that most accurately depicts the character in a light they can be proud of:



For some, this is a chance to be creative and to tweak their characters to meet their own very specific fetis...eh, needs:



For others still, it is a birthright:



What's your reason for using your avatar?
Tell all of CBM, and share a larger version of the avatar here. For those who need the help, there are directions on how to do that below:

HOW TO
Go to your members account section (on the black menu bar) and you'll see where you do it. Just save a pic you like to your computer and then upload it there.

Happy Trails!

LiZarD there was some space between your arrows (i.e. > ) and the link address. Remove this space so that the arrow makes contact with your address and it will work!

Leee, thanks for the heads up, the request has been sent!

Too lazy to find something iconic and bold enough to see at the size its at, so i grabbed a pic off my facebook page of me getting a leg up on the Delorian, trying to do my best "i can't believe the time!" McFly style.

It's Judge Dredd's Mean Machine, a complete moron but complete badass none the less. He could head butt Chuck Norris into oblivion.

Cause i'm a mega fan of Castlevania. And i'm a mega fan of Hugh Jackman. And i think Castlevania's latest main character looks alot like him so that's a double wammo for me.

I'm a huge Wu Tang Clan fan and Ghostface is my favorite out the group. All of of the album covers for Wu Massacre were created by a comic artist.

Anyway, if you don`t know the Plasma Power of the Blue Bomber than you really shouldn`t be on this site.

My former avatar was of myself, because I am the single greatest hero I've ever known and ever will know of. I am also everything Denny Crane is, and more even more.
Now my avatar is Calvin as Stupendous-Man because Calvin & Hobbes was a great and beautiful comic. Here, I present to you the Stupendous-Man:


BMP!

Well. I was using my wacky rocker avatar but decided this would be the perfect opportunity to pimp myself out with my new Avatar...

I run a 'net radio show (music/interviews/etc) friday evenings.. 8-11p Est.. aaand i've been using the Sean Twisted moniker for.. years. So it's become my standard sn :)

Mine is from a doctor TV show I watched recently called Heartland. I watched it because I've never watched a doctor tv show before and I wanted to try one that wasn't all ready popular. It stars Treat Williams and I thought it was pretty damn good. My name is Superman4 because Superman IV was the worst CBM ever so I thought it would be different if my user name was the worst CBM instead of the best.

That picture of Routh is kinda disturbing...

Brashlight - 12/13/2010, 11:56 AM
Do i really need to explain mine? I mean come on, isn't it obviously a representation of the economic plan FDR used to bring us out of the great depression in conjuction with financing WWII. At least i thought that was obvious :)

I'm in the Air Force and I love Superman. The name has just kind of followed me throughout my career. A Lieutenant I worked with took this picture of me in Kandahar, Afghanistan. We found a dark room and pinned a minor's light to the ceiling to get the "dramatic lighting". Warner Brothers actually sent me the movie mold "S" from Superman Returns and I had it sewn onto some coveralls with half of it velcro, so that I could get the zipper up and down.

@USAFSuperman thats really cool dude!

And the Heat vision was OBVIOUSLY added later using Adobe photoshop.
Shaman
Shaman - 12/13/2010, 11:59 AM
LiZarD- I'm not very far into it cause life's a bitch, but i have to say that even though i played very little of it, it far eclipses ANY other Castlevania game ever made and even far eclipses plenty of action adventure games as well. But my opinion might be biased since i've always been a huge fan of any Castlevania game. Most people might prefer God Of War to this, but not me baby ;)

This is without the red eye and color isolation. Tell me which one you guys like best....I can never decide.

Brashlight
Brashlight - 12/13/2010, 12:02 PM
Shaman@ NO NO NO God of war is the shiznit, and yes i just said shiznit! that is how epic that game is! LOL, i have actually never played castlevania but have heard good things.
Brashlight
Brashlight - 12/13/2010, 12:04 PM
Shaman@ oh and in response to your sega games comment on the Arkam Asylum post.

I completely agree! I hate any video games financed by the studio to be released in conjunction with the movie they are always half assed and lack luster. I was so hopeful the superman game that came out with supes returns would be good. it was a MAJOR let down. i am not really hopeful for the thor or Cap games.
