It's a lemming, because this is Lemmy. Here's the full picture:

Its blank, it represents my lack of a working memory, and struggle to prioritise even basic shit.

My nickname at grammar school was literally β€œThe Hamster” if you would translate it to English. Apparently, I reminded one of my classmates of their hamster because I usually ate some greens for breakfast. I liked it and it just stuck. Everyone, including some teachers, called me that. My former classmates still do. I have found this one picture after searching for hamster images and I am using it ever since. However, one animal loving friend of mine told me he thinks the rodent in the image is actually a gerbil instead of a winter white dwarf hamster (Djungarian hamster), which it was supposed to be. Ah, well, who knows. I have been happy with the avatar and have no intend to go looking for another hamster avatar.

My pavatar is a baby dragon from the 90s Moomins series. I chose it simply because of wanting something different - the previous avatar was a Deku Scrub Link from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

My profile picture represents flandre scarlet as a cat girl, because I like flandre scarlet and cat girls so now I have both.

I like the ascetics of electronics, particularly PCBs and microprocessors. I think they look really cool. So it's just a public domain image of a circuit board. An SSD if anyone's curious.

I made mine in Inkscape through about a week of changing it until it was perfect. It’s a small person and has a subtle β€œM” for β€œMossy” in it. It’s using the colour scheme I made for my personal projects (although it isn’t using many colours from said colour scheme lol)

Gmork, the wolf that helps The Nothing from The Neverending Story. Represented by a modified Lone Wolf logo.

It's supposed to be me, I made it with Androidify a few years ago and it was sitting in my nextcloud.

Then stole the idea of adding the service icon from someone on mastodon, or matrix don't remember exactly.

Mine is Monokuma from the Danganronpa video game series. I just like how nicely he works as an avatar: only a couple of colors, immediately recognizable and it's not heavy on the details. I suppose I could make the argument that his black and white likeness represents the duality of man, but that would be 2deep4me.

I just like him, is all.

Mine is a gentleman-like toast because I used to also go by "French Toast" in some platforms 6 or 7 years ago and I thought such a design would be cool πŸ™ƒ

I first made it in a photoshop crack and only like 2 years ago did I redo it in Inkscape. Fixed the colors, the shapes and sizes, and also made summer and xmas variations hehe.

@Lunacy Your post made me realise I still had none, thanks for that !
Mine is a garden doormouse (elyomis quercinus, lΓ©rot in French), which is my totem animal in the context of scouting

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Mine is just a 16-bit mushroom from Super Mario. I don't remember why I chose it but I think it looks cool.

profile picture is bloat

[–] PP44@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Still have to upload mine, I forgot.

But it is based on the "rule 110", a specific 1 dimesional cellular automaton that is pretty cool :

As a long time Photoshop user, I'm trying to learn how to use GIMP. This bell pepper is a default brush. I made it because I saw this post and figured I should have one lmao.
