Explain your avatar

I often find myself wondering what is in phatmasser's avatars. Why they chose them, or what they even mean. Mine is the phatmass logo. I use it because I am a corporate pawn for phatmass.

What about you? What is your avatar, and why did you choose it?

I love basset hounds. They are my alter egos. Their philosophy of life is that if you can't eat it, or play with it, pee on it and move on.

Mine is a drawing that I made on Microsoft Paint. It reflects my love for reading.

Mine combines my admiration of St. Pope John Paul II with my love of ice hockey.  It was an actual picture taken when he was in St. Louis.

Right now I have a baby orca and a mama orca swimming in a circle. It reminds me of the relationship babies have with their mothers, with the mom and baby harmonizing and following and learning from each other, and that relationships are always moving and changing. 

Other times I pick a color or picture of someone that gives a first impression I want people to associate with me.

My ordinary avatars are this guy

... with the background color corresponding to the liturgical season/feasts.

 

It all began as a pic of this figurine of a Knight of St. John (Hospitaller/Rhodes/Malta) from the earlier Crusades.

I just spruced it up, did some updating with the attire and accouterments. 
I chose it back when I had had my "conversion" from nominal Catholicism and started frequenting discussion forums.
I suppose it's a representation of my interest in Church and military history, also they are my favorite military order.

My current avatar is an old timey Mr. Mets in a wind up, because World Series and stuff.

My avatars change constantly so there is no point in explaining them.  I miss the big avatars of PM.  Down with the portholes! ;)

Mine is that annoying owl from Ocarina of Time because I'm a troll. Would you like to hear what I said again?

Mine is a statue of St. Gabriel, I believe from Spain. (For sure it's from Google Images.)

I study communication, and St. Gabriel is the "patron saint of communicators", so...

It's kinda' dumb, though, to have a patron saint of communicators, cuz we all communicate almost all the time. So that's like having a "patron saint of human beings". But whatevaz. He announced the birth of Christ to Mary, so he's still amesome in my book.

Boss Tweed, corrupt ringleader of the 19th century Democratic Party machine in New York, aka the white Suge Knight. He's was a boss, what more to say, and looks badder than a Bruce Springsteen avatar. He's in a suit and vest throwing up a deuce, that's where Suge got the West Side W.

When I figure how to have one, I'll let you know. Maybe I'll try on the computer rather than the iPad.... 

Select the three line icon on the top left of your screen next to the maginfying glass and star icon.  Once you do that select Account, and then Profile.  Once you are at your profile page you will see a little box on the top left, near your avatar, that looks like it has a small mountain range and circle in it.  Click that box and then it will ask if you want to upload an image from your PC/iPad or from a websites URL. If you're going to upload from your iPad/PC then select the 'Choose single file' button. Once you have selected your choice you will then select the 'save' button.  After that you will be taken to a place to crop your image to fit within the deminsions for avatar pictures and once you are past this point you will click 'save' again and boom.  You have an avatar.

You should reposition the image so it doesn't look funky in your avatar window.  Your avatar bugs my OCD.

I like Scrat, from the Ice Age movie series. 

I've been thinking of changing my avatar lately though, I just don't know what to add to my profile in its place. 

 

Edited to add:

Just changed my profile pic of Scrat to a double stranded DNA helix. I'm studying biology in university so i thought that would be somewhat appropriate.
