SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

I hope Gods Prophet sees this and responds. I've been curious as to where his came from for a long while.

OT: I chose mine because I'm an Evildead fan, and because I thought messing with the colors would make it creepy. My first choice was an animated .gif of an Elite popping, but the file was too big.

Got a report? Use the report tool or send a pm.
Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).

I was looking for something that might somewhat compare to my username and then I came across an illustration done for Myth and thought "Hullo, this would make a pretty neat avatar!" So, with a few adjustments (such as inverting the colours and adding some glow for added coolness), my avatar was forged. The end.

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

I heard borrowedchief did his because he likes both Pulp Fiction and Star Wars.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

Huh, ever sine that Fan Art Contest I ran a while ago I've been under the impression you drew that.

By the way, have you moved at all? After 2-3 years I think I can finally send those (still wrapped) original Bungie Store swag prizes to you for winning. A PM to confirm your current address would be awesome.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

OMG I can't believe I didn't see it, your Avatar looks just like Alric holding the Eblis to defeat Balor in Myth: The Fallen Lords.

Something like this, although he normally has a robe

I'm almost certain it's just an inverted picture from myth (or one of those older games).

The person in GP's pic is the Summoner.

Inverted and cropped from the intro to The Summoner level. Still awesome though...

I need to play Myth again, it has been a long time. :p

The most recent campaign missions I played were we pushed Balor's army past the river stained by iron that looked like Blood, Alric cut off Balor (the Leveler's) head, and we tossed it in the bottomless pit.

I'd just like to add that few people know that Qbix's avatar is actually in graphics interchange format.

Wow, you learn somthin' new everyday. I've never seen it move or have any action though. Why not just save it as a .jpeg or png?

Well, Lord Revan is obvious.

And I think there's a group for these sorta questions...

Edit: the lightsaber-ish thingy in Qbix's avatar shimmers sometimes.
