Goose 0 Posted October 6, 2003 Stardate:213762.9 Well i have had three since joining. My first was of Data cause my favorite character is Data. My second was just a flash movie i made with the Enterprise E and my user name The one i have now is of Super Sayin 2 Gohan from the Anime Dragonball Z.He was always my favorite character(when he was about 12 not older)from the show and i think he looks awsome standing there with a pissed off look with all that power surrouding him.Its that look that says"You pissed me off so know your gonna die!!"

Mr.Picard 12 Posted October 6, 2003 Uhm, my avatar changes every two months It always includes Patrick Stewart This one shows a "behind the scenes" - shot fom "Generations", Patrick and Brent in astrometrics I really like it because both of them seem to have a great time I found this pic somewhere, I don't exactly know where I got it from (I have so many pics, it is difficult to remember where I got every one from). It is actually a wallpaper, so I had some difficulties to make it this size I love to create avatars, I use a special program to do it For Christmas months November and December I will use an avatar with Patrick as "Ebenezer Scrooge" (I think it suits well to Christmas time :( ) Mrs. Captain Picard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takara_Soong 4 Posted October 6, 2003 When I first arrived at STF my avatars were pictures of Data that I changed depending on my mood. Then I came across a picture of Lore that I really liked so I used that. When I switched back to Data, my beloved sister, Lessa Soong, missed the Lore avatar (I had it up so long she was really associating me with it lol) so I switched back after finding more pictures. After acquiring the SWISH software and a DVD player that takes screenshots, I put together this flash animation of Lore in the episode Brothers. My signature animation is a tribute to Data, Lore and Dr. Soong and, of course, to the brilliant actor who brought them all to life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

removed 0 Posted October 7, 2003 (edited) my avatar is to support the Oilers. i drew a little Oilers guy during the playoffs last year (beating up the Dallas guy :devil: ), and everybody loves it, so i tried to make one for my avatar. its missing legs and arms, but its all good. and behind him is Skyreach Centre (where the Oilers play) during playoffs. that place is crazy then! ill probably change it soon to my StarTrekFans Hockey Pool team (THE EDMONTON WARP) logo I made just for this stfans pool: http://www.angelfire.com/trek/bysty/edmontonwarplogo.swf Edited October 7, 2003 by bysty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormtrooper_HK554 0 Posted October 9, 2003 I love Star Wars (even more than Star Trek,but I like Trek,too... ),so most of my avatars are of Star Wars characters.Usually the bad guys.Since the Jedi "heroes" always seemed more 'evil' to me,anyway... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Bolivar 0 Posted October 9, 2003 My avatar was originally my head on Bashirs body in front of a DS( turbo lift backing. I also changed his uniform color to red to go with my name of Captain Bolivar. Then when my name was changed I made my uniform blue like it was origially. I need to change it back to red now that I'm a commander. I blacked out all the background and got myself some color codes for LCARS buttons and started drawing some. The final result is me in starfleet blue in front of a computer panel. I liked that the lighting on the picture of Bashir was somewhat orange in glow; this later matched the orange glow that might come from a computer terminal with several orange lights.

Yillara Skye 1 Posted October 10, 2003 (edited) Currently mine is a pic I did...OK, I am not too good at drawing even on the computer. But the girl in green is supposed to be me, the one in profile is Yillara(whose name is my screen name) from my story. In the past I had a pic of Data that I took from the Nemesis DVD insert and placed his portrait on a star background (my eternal favorite of Trek, and sci-fi in general ), A pic of Yillara by herself, my first avatar was Yillara asleep(my image was refelected, in the full pic she is lying on a floor or floating on water, do not remember offhand which). Yillara Skye Soong is a lot like me, so that is why I have in the past used pics of her that I have done on the computer. I also had a pic of me when I ran the Olympic Torch for the 2002 Winter Olympics, I ran one leg of the trip(2/10ths of a mile) , right near one of my hometown's landmarks. That was a special day/event in my life. Another pic of me was when I was competing on the balance beam at the 1994 Ormond Beach Invitational(I won that event ), it also said the years that I was a gymnast (1983-2003). My injury I received at work 4 months ago has left me at least partially disabled, so I had to retire from the sport and coaching. That pic went up around a month after my injury marking the end of an era in my life. I do not know when I will next change my avatar or what or who it will be..... I know my sis, EmilSoong has a pic of her on her wedding day standing by her maid of honor(me) Edited October 10, 2003 by Yillara_Soong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joeybear 0 Posted October 11, 2003 I found mine here and I love it. It says the same thing I strive to every day - ever notice, if you're just walking down the street and you look up and smile at that stranger, nine times out of ten they'll smile right back? That's sorta' what I mean by 'smile on...' - I think it's the best thing in the world, when two strangers can share a smile - ok, I'm a total geek and I know it... :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
