@Angel_of_Bacon
Did you post all of your avatars recently, or am I making that up? I was on a mission to find a specific old one of mine, and I forgotten how many of these dumb things I've made.
I could try to put them in order, but mehhhhhh. I had the blinking one on the gray background all through college I think. I cannot, for the life of me, think of when I had that skull one. The one of me biting the present must be one of my first ones.

@Iruka: Not any more recently than 'years ago', no. But as long as we're doing this thang (presented in roughly chronological order, I think):
Wow, this compilation image was from 2007.
Probably the avatar I used the longest, with variants. Think I lost the original Flash file so this probably won't make a comeback:
mostly reject ideas:
One that lasted for like 2 days because Kochi made fun of it saying it looked like mega dandruff:
Valentine's Day joke one that I kept using for like 2 years:
The current hotness:
The respectable one I use on Facebook to maintain the respect of my peers IRL:
Wow it's hard to look at this shit put together and not feel like a narcissist. And of course this doesn't include all the other dumb bullshit pictures and animations I've made of myself over the years.
I find that to be one of the more endearing things about avs in the AC in general, is they're more likely to be self portraits or similar self-expression. I actually really like how yours are "you," as you see yourself.
I think I've only ever used three or four avatars on here with the exception of AC Christmas ones. I might actually change mine for Halloween (the current one is Halloween a few years ago) when I finally get this damn wig right
Please, I have have to have two ego folders, drawings of myself that I drew, and drawings of my self that I demanded from others.
Man that first avatar of yours, though, I totally remember it. I also remember the zombie and zombie santa.
@Iruka: I can't believe you remember the first one, that's going back like 10 years and I don't think I even used it for very long.
I also have a folder of pictures people have drawn of me, but unfortunately I didn't think to start saving them until a few years ago so I'm missing some that I wish I had, like the one Galen (remember him?) made of me as an elf after I went on a rant about how elves are the dumbest fantasy race. I'm also missing the one @Mully did of me wearing ruffle underwear, for reasons I don't recall.
Actually looking at this directory, that would make for at least 2 drawings of me wearing just underwear and a hat, and at least 4 where I'm a woman.
It kinda makes me wonder if people have a very misleading impression of me, but then considering I literally just drew a picture of myself crossdressing in that Halloween thread I have to concede that if that's the case, I probably have only myself to blame.
All of my avatars have been from others (I think...), aside from the first one which I copypasted from some random image I found when I searched my handle.
Ok let's see what I have stashed away. I normally saved stuff people drew for me, but I know I'm missing a bunch, and some avatars, but this is what I found so far:
I haven't used very many avatars at all, I'm probably due for a new one. I see problems every time I look at the one I'm using now (it's my Fallout NV character)
Here are the only other ones I can remember using, still sitting on my old photobucket account.
I don't even remember using that samurai one as an avatar, but it's there on the album so I must have at some point.
Probably the same way I've done my sig...I have a folder online of sig images, and there's a script file in the folder (you use the link to the script instead of an image) and the script picks a random image in the folder to display.
I don't have a full listing of my avatars...but I have these, in a completely-forgotten order!
I also just re-discovered the "Inappropriate Time for the Robot" comics I drew (inspired by those from Mr. Andrew Hussie) at that PA:AC meetup I went to years ago:
Me, coming back into the states, I got dragged across the coals at customs. This was a possible reason:
This was right around the time that Dick Cheney infamously shot his friend by accident on a hunting trip:
Y'all with inconsistent avatar personas gotta get with it. What if someone's gotta draw you for the sake of a dumb joke, huh?
I mean, just ask @NightDragon - it's been like 8 years and I still have to draw her in the same basic design I completely pulled out of my ass years ago just to maintain internet joke consistency, even though I have since learned that she doesn't look a damn thing like that.
Next time I have to BS up a design for one of you dorks just because their current avatar of the week is something stupid like a Cabela's branded camo baseball hat, I'm just going to make the unlucky person in question look Iggy Pop levels of gross instead of leaving them any dignity.
Ahh I was just trying to find my folder (like the one @Iruka has) of the silly drawings that people made of me and that I made of other forumers in the AC...but I cannot find it!
One of my favorites (as @Angel_of_Bacon may be aware) is the sourdough loaf comic.
@Ammaline: It's not much of a 'design', but there's enough there to make it clear that what is there, is entirely inaccurate.
Examples:
Sourdough comic ND mentioned (wow the art here is rough).
Long story short, I loved sourdough as a kid so much that I used to eat it so fast I gave myself hiccups consistently. ND doesn't like sourdough because she is a crazy person. Conflict ensues.

Ma'am, we've had some reports of a suspicious character. I'm going to need you to stay at least 200 yards away from the computer while these nice gentlemen ask you some questions.

then I switched to the shadow one for a joke in the SMT thread
did I ever even have another?

(probably relating to one of my eyebrow avatars, above)

that comic was made from actual, real dialogue between two people with Opinions on sourdough bread.
(I have since changed my thoughts a little bit on sourdough. I think I had just experienced very sad sourdough, and for the wrong food applications).

Yeah, uh...don't mention that little "wheelbarrow full of dogs" incident to any authorities, or anything. I don't have a problem!! I can control it
I don't know what you're talking about stop looking at me
I think you drew this one yourself, actually.
Whether or not it is more accurate than my short ponytail design, I leave that up to your own judgement.
I just did the terrifying original version:

I seemed to remember I had some part in this, but I couldn't remember what...I knew the base wasn't by me, though. I got it half right, then!
YES! In the end, I win!
Looks like I get to use this .gif again!

Are you talking about the fact that in 2/3rds of her chosen examples she's chosen to show herself wearing an enormous handlebar moustache?
I think we should all be open and supportive of any lifestyle ND chooses to pursue, whether it be a moustache-intensive one or not. Don't be a hater.
Twitter
I have always assumed ND has the prettiest mustache of the lot of us here in the AC

Man, I can just feel the jealousy coming off of you in waves.
Look, I didn't start out this way- but don't worry, with a lot of training and perseverance, you too could eat almost as much sourdough as me.

its actually not possible anymore since the forum switch to vanilla, only works for people who have it grandfathered in.
