Although it sucks, I made my signature and profil pic myself (artistic skills still in development).

As for my forum avatar, I wanted to have a GIF and was just rewatching Nagi no asukara, so I rolled with the best girl I guess.

Profile pic is because I was addicted to Persona 5 while I played it.

Forum set is because Hotaru is a sweet and lovable countryside loli lol.

Overall I just go with my current mood, sometimes I just feel like want a forum set or a profile based on something and then just make it, takes less than an hour usually, most of the time less than 10 minutes when I add nothing on my own and just crop and resize stuff.

Currently I have gurren lagann profile because I finished it recently and really loved it and as for forum set I have it because she is my waifu and because although I wanted a redline forum set I cannot think of any ideas so I am just keeping the one I have for now.

Also I change them pretty often like on a weekly basis most of the time.

Just go with whatever really, if you want one ultimate one for years then I dunno, you no.1 favorite character or anime should do.

For the profile picture - I read a good trap doujin and decided to put "her" picture. I like "her"

Profile Picture: My username is YuriCarrier and what better way to show my love for ships and Yuri then by having a picture of one my favorite shipgirl pairing in Kantai Collection. Yamato x Yahagi

Forum Avatar: I figure if I have a Kantai Collection picture in my profile picture​ then I use a Kantai Collection picture for my avatar as well. I had time deciding which shipgirl I wanted to use, but I chose Warspite in the end because I'm sucker for a woman with class.

i'm asking that cuz i dont hv a clue about what should be my avatar and profile picture.

Your forum avatar - good choice! :thumbsup:

But you should watch the anime it's from - it is pretty cool, has one of the best titles around, and only lasts 11 minutes : One-Shot Bug Killer!! Interceptor Doll HoiHoi-san

-----------------------
I chose Hoihoi for profile picture :D, because I've liked the girls with guns idea ever since ... don't know, maybe always liked it.
Cute/ tiny girl with scary gun - even better.


my forum avatar is a follow-up choice.
Originally I felt I should choose an avatar that goes with my username - so it was either the snork or Nuku Nuku. I never watched the Moomin anime, do not intend to, so Nuku Nuku it was ...
So I went to take some screenshot from the Bannou Bunka Nekomusume anime, and went with Nuku Nuku doing a grimasse, sticking her tongue out.
It did not go well with cutting it down, into whatever the limits in pixels are.



So when I watched Stellvia of the Universe and saw Shima doing the same grimasse, I decided to make it a theme, using avatars doing that grimasse.

Ever since I have come across only 2 (last week : a 3rd, but seen from the side) other characters doing that, and they were mostly do not want them as avatar. :|
So now I am stuck with Shima, it is OK.
(Stein showed me a really, really, really good picture of Asuka sticking her tongue out - but me and NGE ... it's not a love story, so am not gonna take an Asuka avatar. :| )

I am lazy.

I was watching K Anime when I discovered this website. The episode I was on had Neko in her cat form and so I backed up to that time and screenshotted her to use as my avatar and profile picture. She's adorable~

I've changed my avatar quite a few times in here. My first one if I remember correctly was Porco, the MC from Porco Rosso, great pig, better antifascist. A cool guy. I changed it to Shizuku from Whisper of the heart because I felt that the character represented myself and she had a quirky 4th wall-breaking pose.

Then declarative finger Osaka from Azumanga came, which is my most recognizable avatar and what people who know me here tend to identify me with. I've come back to her various times, and it's clear that I will again. Nothing represents better the mood I want to transmit with my posts.

I've had other avatars, from characters I like. Tomoko from Watamote, when I was in the mood for giving creepy vibes I guess, Luffy from One Piece (from the Omatsuri movie, when I felt edgy), Mima from Perfect Blue (the pose looked cooler than in avatar version), I think I had Madao from Gintama in his cool 5th opening pose, Tenma from School Rumble with a beard because why not...

...and now for the first time I have a non-anime related avatar. My recent obsession with Gravity Falls drove me to this adorably unsettling image of poor Dipper in sockpuppet form. In context (spoilery):

And I planned to become a supporter just to have I AM SOCK above my avatar, but that dream went nowhere. The funny thing is that I am recently in a more passive-agressive mood than usual, so having this avatar kind of helps to take me less seriously and avoid unnecessary conflict ¿?

I've had at least four profile pictures before my current one, that I can remember, in MAL. I think the first was a pic of Rakka from Haibane Renmei (this one) that I found really nice-looking. After that, Osaka, smiling in the Osaka way, no need to explain, it's just Osaka. The third was this image from Spirited away. On the fourth I used Chihiro again. It's the one I've kept the longest, and I honestly thought that it'd never change because it fit so perfectly with the mood I wanted to set for my profile. But eventually, I felt like I needed a change and came up with my current pic, which is a wallpaper art about Kanata from Sora no Woto I've always liked, and looks chill enough for me.

It's usually at a random case scenario honestly. But most of the time I choose a avatar/profile from my profile or in the forums based on how cute the character is or depending on the picture in question. Just simple.

Laziness. I picked a character from a show that I liked and thats about how much thought went into having Undertaker from Black Butler as my pic. I don't think I've ever changed it, not that I don't want to, but again its out of laziness. I'd would like to have a gif as a forum pic instead but I can't be bothered to go and make one or go out of my way to find one that I like. Its also why I don't have a signature picture either.

I have Chitanda, Eru as avatar since her character really resonated with me~ I also love Oreki x Eru ship <3 (which makes my siggy).

So I'd suggest you to pick an avatar/sig that has character/s you like or resonates well with your personality :)

Hehe, pretty cliche: I always use the pictures of my social media to spread the word of my favorite things. :) My most favorite thing at the moment is Ashi-Girl, so here I am displaying the main characters of the series.

I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

I choose avatars to represent a side of myself, merely liking a character or thing isn't enough. This character's expression is what I was looking for, as it matches my general outlook on life. The design looks nice and the background colour goes well with the text colour I use to write posts.
