Bilgemunky Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 So there's been an ongoing discussion about each of our forum names, but how about everyone's avatars? Some are pretty interesting - who made their own, who stole them (no shame in that, we're all pirates here)? Is there a link where we can see them up-close? My own was actually made by my brother, back in a day when I went by "spydermunky" online. Since switching my name, I added the red pirate hat and earring, and boom! Instant avatar. I AM BILGEMUNKY
redhand Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 well I made my own, though I'm still tryin' ta figure out how ta make it bigger & higher res.-uuuurrrrg! redhand

CaptCat Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 My avatar is the "Calico Cat," my own flag design. (Thanks for the compliment, Mad Maudlin McCrumb! Mine's not scientifically accurate, but it works for me! ) Please don't confuse my flag's name with my own name, which is "Black Cat."

Iron Bess Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 'Tis m'self and no other. The image is m'own, taken for publicity for a TV Pilot I was helping on. I'm still on the prowl for something better. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
the Royaliste Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 Well, we could tie ya to the bow an' take one as the new figurehead! Only pullin' yer leg....the wooden one...
captweaver65 Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 I pirated mine...from who know where Capt Weaver "No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned. A man in jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company. " Dr. Samuel Johnson Capt Weaver's Pirate Perversions
Iron Bess Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 Well, we could tie ya to the bow an' take one as the new figurehead! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... I may try that. It seems the only with the wind in m'face do I NOT get sea sick!! Hold that thought now lad, I may take you up on it one of these days!! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Pirate Lass Suliel Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 Mine's a picture of the Adventuress (my first love :)) that I took from a website somewhere...so yes, stolen. Am looking for something better...I'd use the MacCiain clan crest--black ship, raven and sword on yellow--but then I'd likely get in a spot of trouble for that...
DuCouer Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 I pulled mine from the Pan Historia Website...I'll be replacing it after this years Ren Faire when I'll have pictures of me self dressed to the nines.
Darkmalkin Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 Mine is a picture of me taken aboard the Royaliste last Saturday by me own dear Hellspawn. The Pyromaniac Pirate
the Royaliste Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 Nice pic, Darkmalkin.....I got me best coil 'o rope waitin' on ye, Bess.... .....and remember, scallywags, anybody can ride a tallship, just pay 'em....but ye hafta be a Pyrate to sail on the Royaliste...and you can't buy that wif' doubloons...
Darkmalkin Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 Aye' Cap'n -- the Royaliste is the best of the bunch, and what makes her even better is that she's not to be had for any price! ARRR! A true pyrate ship, she is! And 'twas a great pleasure and a privilege to be there as she showed her stuff on the bay! The Pyromaniac Pirate
capnwilliam Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 Grey Dog, what are the Pirates of the Vieux Carre? Capt. William "The fight's not over while there's a shot in the locker!"
Iron Bess Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 ....I got me best coil 'o rope waitin' on ye, Bess.... Rope?? Rope???? You'd hoist and hold m'self in a figureheads place with ropes?? (Spoken from behind me best come hither look knowing that the fists resting on m'hips tell no mistale of my... intentions) If'n it's not the strong arms of a Pirate lad (preferably Celt) that be my anchor ( a brief look skyward)... thankee but I think I'll not come to play. (Ropes indeed! and m'self so easily chaffed!) Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
