I've got a handful of basic themes I stick to, but my avatar in any site or game tends to evolve according to what I find that fits the theme. So my avatar here on Trisphee has evolved towards digital corruption even though that wasn't part of the original character.
Nope, usually I'll do it for a screen shot but overall my real purpose for avatars is to make cool things that look fun, crazy- sometimes representing my mood or some sort of 'look'. XD
This avi is a character. Her colors are purple, black and green lol. As far as personality though, I don't really get in character or else I'd be a lot more boring. xP
I like to always have a sexy look going on my avie.
I also love relating it to something dark, dragon, or elf like.
My color scheme is mostly Purple and Black.
Mine would be an OC based on myself.... erm. Not here though... not yeat anyway... noob still... Hence why I'm Bald. But usually, yes, my avatars often built on my OC.
Not usually no. I never really create a certain character on my main as that creates constraints in the future. I will however do cosplays of characters (either self created characters or actual characters that others will recognise) or sometimes I shall create a mule and use that as a specific RP character. Though the latter is a very rare occurrence.
Not this one at the moment (It won't last long) , but my mule is a character called Lauraley, a young looking vampire who just lost her butler in a car crash.
