Where did you draw your Avatar inspiration from?

As the topic states, where did you find the inspiration for your Avatars look?

I originally set out with the idea of something close to a young Jessica Alba from her Dark Angel days. I loved her character Max in that and thought it would be very fitting for the EVE universe.

Sarah didn't quite turn out anything like Jessica Alba. She kept some of her features, such as the lips, but I got carried away and this is what I ended up with.

Who was your inspiration? If any..

'Oooh, that looks cool'
'****, my connection can't handle the changes, nor can my video card'
'Oh crap, he's hideous'
'Woohoo! Goggles! That'll cover up his stupid eyebrows some!'
'Okay, that's the stupid myspace pout banished... OOOH! I shall have ALL OF THE PIERCINGS.'
'Nice jacket. Ooh, and combats.'
'Dreads are stupid. MOHAWK. YAY.'

Huh. I take inspiration from many places, always keep my eyes open for something that could become a cool avatar, anything ranging from advertisements to other players' avatars. And quite often they just happen while i am tinkering with the CC.

I even named my first ship "Ninja 600" after the bike she rode Lol

It was an attempt at my idealized (ie, not fat) self. Then when I went to the dark side I reinvented my "self" a bit because I felt my old avatar look a bit too carebear-ish.

That's the most amazing thing I've heard today. You've got the name and everything too!

I bow down to your undeniable taste!

Last I heard of Magic Andy was that he'd gone to Glastonbury and ended up living in a field in Dorset.

I thought of things that evolved to effectively eat your face.

Then I recreated those qualities.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Tried to make him look like he did under the pre-Incarna system.

Then a freak accident involving the use of a Micro Jump Drive prototype while in a wormhole caused some kind of timefluxup and he got old.

A subjective view of the caldari deteis male in-game description. As I read it I developed an image and added a few little features (such as hair colour) to resemble the player behind it. :)

SGA Sheppard?

Mine is also the same as (or as close to as i can make it) my first 2d old school Avatar.

That one i didn't even "make" as I couldn't be arsed at the time, just hit random and next. For some of the newer chaps, you will not have seen the old character maker, it was bad.

Oh, but now i have googles, cos pirate where googles, don't you know?

Originally he was a mix of a young Russel Crowe and Justin Timberlake, with a dash of Commander Shepard and hint of that Sebeistor guy from the Orbital Bombardment trailer. I created something so awesome that my main got jealous, so I rescultped him to mirror it and just messed this guy up so I wouldn't get confused at the Character selection screen...
