Where'd You Get Your Avatar?

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

Mine I picked up while I was researching feline skulls to design a Jolly Roger for the SCA... though I like Captaincat's better... hehee... It's a scientifically accurate view from the top of Felis Domesticus... I wanted to find a head-on one, but there you have it.

Mine is the center of me pirate ring, presented to me by a wench some 20 years ago for, uh, services rendered you might say. On the side of the ring is a dagger and dolphin - a one of a kind - just like meself!

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! :lol: ) Please don't confuse my flag's name with my own name, which is "Black Cat." You may see a larger version of the Calico Cat on the Matriarch's official website.

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! :ph34r::huh::huh:

....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. :lol:

(Ropes indeed! and m'self so easily chaffed!) ;)
