With 16 minutes to spare, I set a Christmas avatar! The Chiyo's Dad Santa hat one that I've used before.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

The snow in Upstate New York only started piling up Friday the 21st, but since then, it's gotten back into the swing of things. Though I might as well use my bit of insomnia to work on a new avvi. I think I went a bit overboard with the snow and sky. And, my gosh, that candy cane. That thing almost gave me an anurism. Stupid pixilated curves...

Image

^ What a normal winter in New York is like. (And, yes, I did change my self sprite up a bit. I gave myself a bandana, hoodie, and a lighter shade of cargo pants. Pretty much what I look like on any given day.)

I realized that I tend to like Pokemon with Green headgear. Breloom, Sewaddle, and now Chespin... but Pidgeot's still my favorite! I can't have it loosing out to these Grass types! So, I gave it a green hat. Much better!

Nothing inappropriately screeches "I'M BAAACK" at the top of it's lungs like a fresh redrawn avatar!

Image Really old. Like I think it's almost 3 years old.

Image I redrew the thing so that I wouldn't wind up embarrassed every time I saw a post of mine.

I'm not changing my avatar because GREEN HAT PIDGEOT

I would just like to talk about this guy.

This Guy!

For a user that does not visit the forums... he seems to change his avatar quite a lot, doesn't he? I swear, it's a different avatar every time I happen to scroll past one of his old posts. Also, that "Last visit" seems to suggest he's been here as recently as earlier this week. You come out here Jeffery! You come out here RIGHT NOW!

I thought I noticed that! I thought I was going mental.

I've been guessing you all over the place in the guess the next poster thread. Come on dude.

Decided to switch things up a bit with a GIF of a shark attempting to use a computer.

Bit of a throwback to my old avatar, and also a sorta kinda explanation for my character's appearance in Forum Wars.

Well, seeing as how it's not snowing all that much anymore here, and the fact that I made some new self-sprites, I might as well change up my avatar.

Image

My inventory now includes double lightsabers, some pokeballs, a pickaxe, and a phaser gun. Gotta change up the old inventory sometimes, ya know? (Plus having two lightsabers taking up two separate spaces didn't really seem all that sensible in my mind.)

Yes, I am also giving the Vulcan salute because...well, why not? (Also, extra hand spriting practice!)

EDIT: Because I'd rather not make a whole 'nother post just to say that I changed up my avatar again.

Image

New outfit this time (yes, I'm wearing a flannel shirt), plus I thought I should change up the background. Northeastern summers are pretty nice. Not many dark grey skies like in spring or fall, but DANG, can it get humid.

My Miqo'te Black Mage from FFXIV, cropped so tiny you can't see the rest of her outfit (which looks nice and which is included in the mostly-uncropped image below. -w-'

Did you do anything to that image? It doesn't look like it was ripped right from the game, but then I haven't played the game.

Aside from cropping it in Photoshop, I didn't do anything with it. My graphic settings were on lowest in order to reduce lag, but normally it looks much prettier. >_>
...also my computer screen itself doesn't have great resolution, which probably doesn't help.

That would explain it. Looks almost cel shaded.
