Why that Avatar?

Ok. I haven't created a thread for a while and thought this would be interesting.

Tell us why you chose your particular Avatar, what does it represent, what does it say about you?

I would love to know why in the blue hell, Shef is a purple penguin, and as you can choose anything, why Carmichael has opted for a ferret with an ant's body and specs!!!

If you have a movie character, tell us why you associate with the character so much, that you had to use it as your unique Avatar.

I have gone from Darth Maul in the shadows, to Dr Evil, back to Darth Maul in the shadows. I then went for Aragorn, basically to charm Sammie (and it worked *grin*) and now I have finally settled on Strider (In the Shadows).

I picked him because he is a hit with the ladies, dark, brooding, powerful and gets it on with Arwen...

Just like me...

:D

OK.

I picked mine because it is self-depractory. Most people seem to pick something 'cool' or 'heroic'. No problems with that. I wanted to interject a little more levity into the whole process.

Dont take youself too seriously, I like to say.

I picked this avatar because I like LOTR, and because I especially admire a woman who is good with a sword (or rather, I wish I was one). Plus, I think Eowyn is rather pretty (hey, why not let everything think of me as an attractive blond?).

First off, I would like to state that Juzzza;s mother didn't beat him enough as a child.

That being said, I use this avatar because he has become the favorite of all of my character designs. I've used him for a major portion of the animation sequences I have had to put together at school. He has been used in a drum loop animation, a 3D model, a 3D animation of him stepping out of an elevator and a 5 second video of him blowing a door apart then walking through the hole. I designed his current look, personality, mannerisms, history, etc. As you have probably noticed by now, I am rather attached to the little rodent.

Can't you make one post without insulting Juzzza CM? What is it a national sport now?

I have nothing but the utmost respect for you and all rat-kind.

Any chance we can see your animated sequences?
