Because I'm on an anime site, I chose something not anime which happens to be the greatest game of all-time
Doom

That and the simple reason for choosing that kind of avy is:

RIP AND TEAR

(also I like to maximize what the site has to offer, so my avy is in gif form and max dimensions; can't do gifs in profile pictures :/)

Well, first off your avatar is already quite good(like wut lol)

I usually pick my favorite characters then find an art for the character that I like.

I usually just use Photoshop or paint when i need to crop pictures from larger ones I find through the power of... Google. Yeah, that's pretty much it.

It's always one of my favorite characters. My list of favorite characters is pretty long so I have a lot to choose from. It's just a matter of finding a pretty enough artwork with them.

Most of the time I just switch out my avatar for something new when I find a new character I adore or just a particular scene or facial expression that seems like a fun avatar. That's how my current avatar came to be.

But in general just anything that I like to be associated with. I used to have photos of my favorite authors and stuff.
I probably regret this post by now.

I choose characters that I like for the forums, but this time I went with an original one and the signature just went well with it, so I chose to put it.

Honestly, pick what you want. You don't think. You feel it. :D

Ember Spirit, for example, is my favorite hero in DotA/DotA 2. He is a fun, snowballish, zero-downtime hero with Boots of Travel and Fire Remnant synergy. His lore is one of the best in the DotA 2, rivaled only by Arc Warden -another favorite of mine. His voice responses are almost always 4 words long, spoken with zen-like serenity. His only competition in best overall voice responses is Windranger's adorkable, playful, and child-like enthusiasm.

Rundelhaus Kode, on the other hand, is one of my favorite characters. To quote a previous forum post:
Rundelhaus Kode is a dreamer in a world that does not allow for dreams, a world built not to cater to him and his kind, a world where he is merely supposed to be a mere props; and yet he struggles; and yet he dreams; and yet he tries to bridge two worlds, one of which he will never understand, cannot fully comprehend, and may yet lose his newfound friends to.

The idea is to watch an anime... and if it is special to you both the series and a character from it, then make that character your avatar picture based on anything from appearance to personality to relativity and so forth.

My avatar, signature and profile pic are a tribute to the best girl of the Monogatari Series. Plain and simple.

All my avatar, signatures and profile pics have always featuring pictures of anime characters I like. We are in an anime site after all.

My profile picture changes rather frequently, but I might keep the one I have now for a while since I have trouble not wanting to look at it and I don't want to be somebody who changes my profile picture every week, which I was getting annoyed with myself for doing. Plus, Run is really gud. I usually choose that by finding a picture of a character I find attractive and cropping it to where it fits, is more focused on the character I wanted it to be of (like now) or doesn't break any rules.

Forum avatar will probably never change, partly because I feel like it's more recognizable than my username (which is not to say it is a recognizable avatar, just that I have a somewhat boring username that nobody really seems to get anyway) and partly because I really don't want to arse myself to find another picture that fits the resolution and looks this well doing so. I chose it shortly after finishing Yosuga no Sora, which I really really liked, which was the same time I started becoming really active on AD instead of where I used previously, so it coincided.

My avatar is my one true waifu Onoya An. This will change if I find a character I would be more committed to dedicating the rest of my life with.

My signature is my favorite quote from anime, though this is subject to change. Its from "I can't understand what my husband is saying", a series of shorts, good show.

Honestly, most people just set it as their favorite character/waifu/husbando. It should be something that reflects you and your taste. Mine used to just be the Izzet Logo, for those who play Magic: the Gathering. Though, I have found that friends don't like it when I change my picture a lot, like I do on Steam, so make it something you want to keep

because it enhances the narcissistic persona I like to use online and I find it ironic that this is the face of someone who wasted hundreds of days from his life on chinese cartoon porn. I rarely ever change my profile pic and/or avatar. I really consider them as my online face.

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

For forum avatar - Who doesn't like Tooru? Also, it matches my sig.

Don't really have a preference for the pictures. I'll pick anything if it looks good.

Choose whatever you find appealing to you.

As for me, I change my forum set and profile pic monthly just to keep things fresh since staring at the same picture for a while gets old for me. My forum sets and profile pics usually revolve around a certain character or anime. I chose this set for this month because I like the gif animation in the signature, and it's the summer season so it makes sense. ^_^
