Help, I need an avatar!

Post by Despiser Dave »

I need an avatar befitting of my screen name. I've uploaded a couple tonight, but they just didn't do it for me.

I want my avatar to be hideously grotesque, yet pleasing to the eye. It should say "I despise you all, but I'm really not a bad person." It should project a loathing that makes you feel all warm inside. Save and damn, etc. I guess...

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Ah yes, if the "I hate you" sign could be photoshopped over the loaf of bread, and the jelly could be replaced by a human heart, then I think it would be near what I want. 8O

(mmmmm, cellophane bread....)

How about Image

BTW, Infranview is a great program for people who aren't photoshop savvy to tweak with images. (To say, make them fit size restrictions, add captions etc. www.irfanview.com/ It's also just a great picture viewer!

Well played with that last pic. Of course I despise pop culture far too much to ever actually have seen the show, but nonetheless I am aware of that man's personality.

Or maybe for continuity I should just go with the avatar that I use on every other message board I belong to???

Nice little warm & fuzzy despiser there ^^^

I came up with a couple, based on some artwork I found on the web. I like the 2nd one better, but maybe I'm taking myself too seriously...

If you hacked the Happy Bunny (love Happy Bunny!) to say "Ware, groveller, I covet your despair", it'd be very apropos.
