Avatars, avatars, avatars...

Don't you just hate it when you can't seem to find a good avatar? I know I do. An avatar, whether it be for use on a forum, a Facebook, or to outfit any number of different social networking sites, is kind of like a representation of yourself. Your avatar is a very noticable, memorable thing, and more often than not, when someone sees your avatar attached to a post, they will not even bother to read the poster's name, because they identify that avatar with you. So, make you have a good avatar.

It took me awhile to come up with a good avatar frankly, but I think that I finally succeeded. Here's what mine looks like...

A black dragon with a two-tone tint, and a buttonized border to give it a little depth. It's simple, but it's nice, elegant, and attractive- at least for an avatar. The dragon itself I did not draw, I found it on google images. However, I thought it worthy enough to use in a little art project of my own, so I added the gradient Goraud Shading and then buttonized it. Looks pretty cool I think.
