Since coming back, I noticed that my old avatar image was removed (curse you, TinyPic!) and though I still have the original image, I think it's time for something fresh. :) I know an avatar is more of a personal taste type thing, but I figured I'd ask if anyone either has some ideas on what I personally could use, or even just a few tips in general when creating or choosing a forum avatar. Any thoughts?
I prefer to create my avatars purely from mathematical patterns, but for you I would recommend one of two styles:
A) a character from a book/game/movie/whatever that you like.
B) an artistic image/drawing/picture, or just something you like looking at.
EDIT: Actually, I just remember an old photo I took that would work well as an avatar for you, because it's of a Rose. Let me dig it up real fast.
EDIT: Well, no luck finding it. Whatever, think about my other suggestions, or go with something else that you like.

No worries :P Thanks for the effort. I'll keep looking around and come up with something. :)
for me my avatar is my identity. it's so ingrained into my internet self It always feels weird to change it. and when I do I try to keep it close enough to the original to be recogniseable
I'd say think of something that reflects who you are and then find a good representation of it.
When I see something funny, inspiring, etc. I start using it as avatar (remember gRAPE?). The alternative is a character from a show that I like (Barney, Archer, etc.).
Mine are always a combination of things I like. Anime, angels, a phoenix, certain colour combinations, etc. I try to find pics that have many of those traits in it. Like my current one: Anime angel of death, and I love the red and black combo. No, I'm not a girl, but I couldn't find a male combination that looked that good.
I decided to pull up an old one from a while back temporarily. I'll change to something new when I think of an idea that I really like, but I like this one too, so I'm content. :)
I should probably change my pokemon trainer from PRO as well. Haven't changed it in months.

I like it. XD
On a slightly related note, I was going through old SPAM topics, and look what I happened to come across:

Apparently some people never change....
(Also, for a bonus surprise, press the button for the spoiler images throughout the topic. Most of them are gone, but apparently TinyPic sometimes reuses image URLs.... O_o)
