Like my new avatar and signature? At some other forums, I won someone in a "staff auction" so I had him put this set together for me. Anyone like it?  ;D

LOL, Well, these forums are actually affiliated with Neopets, so the members get to bid on the Staff Members with their "NeoPoints." I personally don't really USE Neopets anymore, and I have a few million NeoPoints (NP), so I figured I'd spend them on our little forum carnival (it was actually for our third year anniversary). So, therefore, I won this guy by spending 902,000 NP (this one guy wouldn't give up). :( I always spend the most NP on people every year. At our first carnival I spent 150,000, last year I spent 1,901,000 NP, and this year...

Well, anyways, yeah, I guess that's pretty much it. Most of the people up for auction would say...graphics, for example, would be another's prize.

Some examples:

FYI, the avatar isn't currently showing up because of a temporary connection problem with that server.

Love the sig, Ian!

Yeah, I found that out too late. I had the signature downloaded on my computer, so I uploaded that to my Walagata account. Unfortunately, I used 250free's transloaded for the avatar, so I didn't have that one on my computer and I couldn't remember what the website was that I got it from. XD

Really nice sig line, Ian.

"I accept anything and everything..."
I just love that scene.  Superb work by Selby.  Captivating....in my humble opinion.

Yeah, I remember once when I was surfing Collinwood.net...the webmaster there puts up classic quotes. When I decided to have a Quentin set, I knew that was perfect for it, though something along the lines of "I'm going to be killed by a woman!? I wouldn't have it any other way!" came a close second. ;)

Ye Gods, what kind of fan am I?  I don't remember that scene with the "my own innocence" line.

Any hints as to where I would find it in my MPI tapes?

Thanks,

Steve

Ah...thank you, thank you, all. I feel like I'm actually the one that made them. The actual maker, Ryan...I think he did a pretty good job, since he usually doesn't use images of actual people (he uses more drawings, anime, that sort of thing).

You can check out his other work at http://www.rylon.co.uk/ :)
