Quest for the coolest avatar

Who do you think has the coolest avatar in the Ogre community?

I saw one a while back that was awesome. I'll have to dig through my previous posts to see if I can find who that was.

Feel free to post pics of what you think to be the coolest avatar.

Anyone who posts Sinbad's is plain sucking up

My current favorites

This one gets disqualified, as it is a gamedev avatar.

How does that avatar look like?

I still have to thank Xavier for pointing me out to a cartoon series I never heard of. Since my girlfriend recognised Stewie, not knowing where it came from though, I asked him where it was from and... I am hooked!

If it is the most cool one I can't tell though...

I think I should win:

The Fonz is the King of Cool. So by Fonzie logic; Anything that features the Fonzie is the coolest. Therefore I have the coolest avatar.

I can't think of many off the top of my head, so I'll agree that the Fonz with a floating cube is the best so far.

Normally I change my avatar a lot, but to maintain a consistent personality on here I've kept my first one (Foamy the Squirrel from www.illwillpress.com), plus only 10KB is too small for my usual animated ones.

I was actually thinking about yours the other day. It is certainly one of my favorites!

It was a picture of a dudes head morphed to be just a massive mouth, chomping at the air (animated)

there's one that may not be the coolest, but is to me the funniest, I'm thinking about the "C++ for food" one

I agree. Its very good

But I also like the crazy prof of leonardoaraujo.santos. I think its from
back to future isnÂ´t it? Its one of the pics I always have to look at if I read his
posts... ( http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... 6f4e2718c6 )

Ahh yes. This one...

That's Gene Wilder at a scene taken from Young Frankenstein (Mel Brooks, 1974). One of my all-time favorite movie. A must for laughs

:lol:

That avatar has my vote definitely!

Sounds a lot like Evolutional's (old) one on GameDev.net:

lonewolff · Post by **lonewolff** » Tue Sep 16, 2008 6:10 am

Haha! Thats the one

I thought it was an Ogre one, there you go!

That would make betajaen's one my current favorite in these forums!

The Fonz needs a GUI after all, doesn't he?

los_frijoles: the cute but curious spider:

xavier: I dont know about others, I think the boy kinda spooky to me. But it did make me to search internet for the avatar info immediately.

zeroskill: The same reason as xavier's.

I must admit, stoneColds avatar keeps me staring as well. Very eye-catching!

Is your avatar a composition, stoneCold?

Most likely it is a fan-made composition or even a complete drawing of "Wayne Static", lead singer of "Static-X".
I'm kind of a fan of Wayne and the band and I found the picture once when I googled for a tutorial how to get (my?!) hair to stand up like this.

I thought it was the coolest picture I've seen from Wayne so far, and so I simply replaced my good but old coyote avatar by this one

Here the pic in full size (looks even cooler imho):

[edit]:
I personally like PolyVox's avatar a lot

cheers

Hehe, every time I saw your avatar I thought of Static X, but wasn't sure.

was just scolling by the avatar I really like from Aquatix

I've indeed noticed that c++ jobs have gotten kind of rare

I think HexiDave's deserves a spot

lonewolff · Post by **lonewolff** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 10:01 pm

@syd & DanielSefton - These ones are great too, arn't they?

Post by **betajaen** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 10:19 pm

HexiDave managed to turn that into a Valve spray icon, it was pretty funny playing CounterStrike and seeing the Ogre logo in the middle of Blue Team's base.

Counter Strike has a Blue and a red(?) team now ?
