Actually, my post was about what other people - falsly - might relate to angels. But fortunately, the concept of the angel leaves room for a lot of interpretations. Don't worry, just choose one for yourself.

Legendary Custom Avatar
"If there is no choice, there is no meaning." Loknar
Hey all
This time around, you can get all your analysis tools ready, Loknar ! For my new, reserved, custom avatar is as much mine as can be : not only did I choose it, I designed it myself !
So, I'm actually looking forward to your impressions.
PS : You're right, it's stunning how many of the latest avatars actually look the wrong way. Basically, all of Homm5's avatars do. Notice that mine does look the right way... hehehe
Cheers again. Legend.

Well, let's see…
No, sorry, I've read too many posts of you to read your avatar psychologically. Sigmund would probably still notice the big sword and further evaluate the hypothesis that your troglodytical incident was one of his after all.
But I can't really read it iconographically, or heraldically, you might say, either. The neon glow on black looks like a ghost in the dark and the figure wielding the sword would then be some ghost warrior. The custom rank with an Army of Immortals supports this and makes the warrior a general (I see no crown to indicate a king). A nightly Paladin of the Undead?
The avatar is nice though there's something weird about the proportions, especially the balance of small and big. The figure on the avatar is small, but has a very big sword. The army from the signature is a big crowd, but the legs are very small. Sigmund would probably... No, just kidding. Moreover, I find it a bit dark. (Didn't you mind the darkness of the Mezizto avatar? - Well, I admit this is a different kind of darkness.)
But it's very nicely done and I hope you enjoy it. It's very recognizable, anyways, so functionally, it's definitely in the green area.

Wow, a truly metaphysical post! The oracle's voice! I still try to find out to what all that was related and what it all was supposed to mean.

New Story
I finally also thought Mezizto too dark and serious (beside the name just being plainly silly), and since TNT Addict had his heavenly coming out, I allowed myself to borrow from his (former) glory. Sylas Zanj has a nice coloring which I find suiting to the floating and a wizard is also more to my liking than a necromancer (though he wouldn't give up his beauty. I kind of liked that.) It smells of water and fresh air, but it's still a little serious, though in a more concentrated way. Being H4, it's not very individual, but that's ok. People who choose Sylas Zanj probably don't do so if someone else already has.
Now, Legend, if you feel like cutting him/it/me in pieces, you are expressly welcome. ( Gee, forgot to check that story again.)

Good job Loknar.
Mostly I like your way of analyzing things, I’m not an expert, however psychology is my hobby-interest science.
Well Why I’ve chosen Ronald, first he shows royalty, nobility and honor.
Second I was angry and upset how they ended H3 in that ferocious way, generally heroes die by aging or in battles, more of that they took everything good we know to a new average stories in H IV.
I was fighting for righteous; I was fighting for the King and Queen.

It certainly was. Thanks for telling.

Thanks. I'm still not sure if an avatar reading can really be psychological. Tigris told so, and then it stuck. I think it's more heraldic or iconographical. But you can always go on to psychology if you're lighthearted enough.

I have received negative comments on my avatar by people whose judgement is obviously blurred:
Quote: posters like you who scourge this forum with expressionless avatars
How utterly stupid! My avatar is neutral, not expressionless. It has to cope with my abyssmal moods and that raging tempest of secret emotions. Touché! (And I refuse any iconical comment on this serious matter!)

Honestly, Loknar dude, this avatar doesn't fit you very well imho.
It reminds me too much of TNTie !
Plus, though I know it's supposed to be a mage / neutral bla bla bla... I for one think it looks barbaric ! Hostile, even.
So it really doesn't represent you well, at least the way I see you ! lol
Legendary 2 Cents.
Also, the flag in the background reminds me of the infamous "The South Will Rise Again" flag, for some reason....

So it's not a flag, but a collar of questionable fashion value. I liked the Elizabethan version better.

Thanks for another two generous cents.Quote: neutral bla bla bla... I for one think it looks barbaric ! Hostile, even.
Sigmund would probably tell you that the neutral makes the best target for projections. That's why so many people fall in love with persons who are good-looking and have nothing to say. Unfortunately, this only works as long as you're silent, which of course is a price I'm not willing to pay.Quote: It reminds me too much of TNTie!
I was thinking about taking H3 Mirlanda, but then I thought I'd rather be mixed up with TNT than with privatehudson. . (And after that, I began to question my motifs for considering Mirlanda in the first place. )

Quote: a collar of questionable fashion value. I liked the Elizabethan version better.
I also have to check psychology authorities on that disclosed collar fetish of mine:
The Elizabethan collar had more style, that's true, but it looked far too uncomfortable. Moreover, the Sigmund beard would have spoiled psychological sneak attacks - and it was looking into the wrong direction again.

I aim to please. Quote: Sigmund would probably tell you that the neutral makes the best target for projections. That's why so many people fall in love with persons who are good-looking and have nothing to say.
SO bloody true ! The main problem with that kind of persons (girls, especially, at least from my experience lol) is that they can't remain silent. Sooner or later, they WILL open that sensual mouth of theirs for the wrong reason.
Quote: Unfortunately, this only works as long as you're silent, which of course is a price I'm not willing to pay.
Even if you wanted to, I wouldn't let you !
@Khaelo : Thanks for the pics ! Now I changed my mind.
This isn't barbaric at all, it ain't even neutral or expressionless. This is a DUMMIE face, which suggests absolutely NO brain behind its dull eyes !
Which fails even more to represent you, Loknar ! Quote: I also have to check psychology authorities on that disclosed collar fetish of mine
Yeah, well my guess is that you're too insecure to show your face upfront without some accessory to support it. Kinda like those noobie pencillers who flood their drawings with useless details because they're uncomfortable with the sheer beauty of empty spaces.
We'll continue next time. That will be 50 euros.
Legend.

Wow, I've still a long way to go before I reach smilies' mastery! How precise!
Since I now could have my custom avatar, since feedback on the current has been somewhat amiguous and since there was this revolutionary breakthrough on avatar amnesty in the Turban Tribunal, I thought this would perhaps make a more popular avatar for me:
Darth Yoda
It satisfies my collar fetish needs, it shows a conscious effort to look emotional and is all the same a suitable target for projections. It even has that dynamic attitude I'm so fond of. Or do you reckon I will be accused of vanity of the mind (which is the worst according to middle age vice catalogues)? + Any fatherly advice is greatly appreciated as I only provide biological insecticides for the vinery. - (Don't bother, mothers, unless you happen to be virgin.)

Loknar, dude, I'm too tired and worn out from today's flame war at the Library to write a reply witty enough for my own ego's standards to be met. LMAO
Whatever you do, please, take some time to think it through before you make up your mind !
I'll do my best to help you making a decision starting tomorrow, I promise !
50 more bucks ? Hey ! Just because I didn't show up at our appointment doesn't mean you don't have to pay ! Sigmund was very clear on that point : "a therapy only works when you PAY for it. The more expensive the better ! Freud spells F-R-E-U-D, but I prefer American Express over checks, though !"
Legendary Sleep for now !

I choose my new avatar because I like the HoMM 5 Pixie's look more than the Sprite portrait.
Heck, the Sprite's always been my favourite unit. . .
