Raine.on.my.parade Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I need a third option: I used someone else's art (picrew/meiker) to make it Link to post Share on other sites
Oberon Jasper Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Currently same as @acidraine tho I'm planning on using some of my own art once I have something that is satisfactory. Link to post Share on other sites

Ldlelee Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I change mine all the time, but I always find one from another source and try to credit the artist if I can find them. Link to post Share on other sites

Same. I haven't changed mine in a minute but when I do, I try to keep an updated link to the artists website or social in my signature, if possible. I have used my own art as my profile picture, but it's been a while since I've done that. Link to post Share on other sites
daveb Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I usually use my own photos, but my current one is from a photo I found online which I cropped. It was just meant to be a placeholder until I find or make another picture of my own to use. Link to post Share on other sites
Skycaptain Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 My grandmother knitted the bear in 1977, and I took the photo in 2014, when I joined AVEN Link to post Share on other sites

quadfasciata Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I can't figure out how to post my own picture on a website and go through that, or else I would. Currently I just use one off the internet. Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jay Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I've made a running gag out of having profile pictures mostly taken from various video games, be it in-game artwork, flyers, box art, or what-have-you. The avatar I have right now is from Altered Beast, for example. I don't know why I do this, but occasionally people do notice... or misunderstand. When I had the titular creature from Centipede as my avatar, someone thought it was a reference to the song "Reptilia" by The Strokes, which has the same picture on its cover. I hadn't even heard of that band at the time. Link to post Share on other sites

Layria Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I made mine on DollDivine's Gemsona maker about five years ago. Still my favorite profile pic, and I currently use it on most platforms. Link to post Share on other sites

Currently I just use one off the internet. For avatar images I don't think it has to be hosted online. I think you can load an image from your device right into an avatar (but I only know how to do it from a PC, so if you're on some other device it might be different).

Virelai Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 It's from the intro to the movie The Last Unicorn. I chose it because I like unicorns and I like how they imitated the style of Medieval and Renaissance tapestries, which kinda goes with my username, which is a medieval style of music.

They both were strong women that liked to smoke at lot. Both great actresses. I know Tallulah was mostly a stage actress, but she was in a great pre-code called The Cheat. If you haven’t seen it, check it out. She’s great in it! Link to post Share on other sites
