    [​IMG] Yes, it's new. I got tired of the old one, and this one fittingly reflects my current mood. Anyway, I thought I might as well open a thread about it, so that there's one central place for all the potential comments on it...

    Good lord. :mommy: Very cool. You'll always be the cranky-lookin' elf wizard guy to us, but I think we'll get used to it.

    You may want to go ahead and field the slew of inevitable questions right now, those being "So are there like a whole bunch of new portraits now and stuff?" and/or "Can I send you my own picture and stuff, and have you upload it?" If either is yes I'd gurd up for an onslaught of portrait change requests. ;)

    Anyway, nice portrait...and stuff.

    Well, I liked the other one better -- it was more of a "personage". This one, while a VERY cool dragon....is still a dragon.

    Actually, this one is from NWN. And yes, many new ones will be available to SPS account holders shortly. But more about that in the next few days.

    Well I agree with Death Rabbit, you'll still be the old elf wizard to us. It's cool but I prefer the old one.

    Dragons as avatars are just plain lame. :p

    Besides aren't you worried it's going to scare away all the dear newbies?

    Quite menacing. Someone is in a dark mood for sure.
    What would the Red One be contemplating down on the ground is the question here. The charred remains of trespassing noob-adventurers?

    Fitting.

    I think I like this avatar much better than the previous one. The elf looked somewhat sour-faced around the nose.

    Perhaps Tal's sorcerous elf avatar has become a red dragon disciple? (or pink dragon disciple, as the case may be...)

    Bion, I cant help but notice that you seem to have business with the Pink Dragons. Was ist denn da nur los?! ;)

    The era of the Pink One is long since past. :geezer:

    It's a tad impersonal imho...but then again people always complain when something new is introduced.

    HB, just refresh, it worked for me.

    Actually, a dragon represents better the power tal represents on the boards, though I agree a pink one would have been better :hippy:

    Morgoroth, I think someone's jealous... :D Look who's talking about scaring newbies away. :shake:

    Harbourboy (or anyone else with this issue), refresh the page a few times, or clear your browser's cache.

    And, curiously enough, yes, I am playing a Red Dragon Disciple in my last HotU game. :evil:

    Dendri, forgive Bion... grumpy gramps is still living in the past and can't cope with all the rapid changes around here. :p And he seems to be delusional too. Something about pink dragons and elephants... tsk, tsk. A case for dried frog pills if I've ever seen one. :D

    Oh, what large teeth you have. I mean, white, sparkling teeth. I know you probably hear this all the time from your food, but you must bleach or somethin', 'cause that is one dazzling smile you got there. And do I detect a hint of minty freshness? And you know what else? You're-You're a girl dragon! Oh, sure! I mean, of course you're a girl dragon. 'Cause you're just reeking of feminine beauty.

    :p
