I’m a bit of a wrestling fan, so I’ve always had an online name of JakedaArbok (a reference to Jake “the Snake” Roberts). Not necessarily crazy about Pokemon, but Arbok’s probably my favorite snake-adjacent creature in gaming, so the picture was obvious.

My profile picture is now my villager self in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Always loved this top hat and magician outfit, too... and I'm even holding a magic wand! I also made my pic so that I'm referencing the cover for Super Mario All-Stars, where Mario would also have a magician outfit and a similar pose.
I've probably posted in this thread at some point given it was created before I joined here. Which is saying something. But I don't usually post in these kinds of threads so there's a chance I haven't
Pretty self explanatory. Basically I joined here because I was forum shopping. Before here I was on a band forum that died after the band broke up. I did a bit of forum shopping before landing here. My Avatar was a bit of a rush job because, meh, how long will this forum last? Forums were dying left and right around the late 2000s because of the rise of Facebook
For my Avatar I took a sprite from Super Mario Kart, one of my favourite games of all time, and ran it through some artistic filters on GIMP to make it look less like a sprite and more like, well, something someone had painted. Fairly sure I also cranked up the contrast so the lines were easier to pick out. Why Bowser? Well, anyone who has got any good at Super Mario Kart knows the only two characters you ever pick are Bowser or DK Jr. Because they have the max top-speed, huge advantage. Why Bowser over DK Jr? Well, it's DK Jr, it isn't DK. How lame is DK Jr? Bowser, every day
I've considered changing it over the years but at this point I've had it for so long it seems wrong to change it
@Snatcher Its not that bad just why is she purple lol
Space and Games are similar. Space is endless and new stuff is out there waiting to be discovered. Games are always being made but the creativity is different from one game to another and so many more ideas still haven't been imagined or created yet. (That came out better than expected lol)
@GalaxicGlobe Ah yes. It’s a theme of mine, I love the color and the character I based this username off of and was my older pfp for a long while. I just kinda wanted to always keep the sense of the theme so I didn’t always have to keep the same character as my pfp. Yeah I know it’s really convoluted for no lol.
As for the drawing I drew with her original colors first and then added the purple later.
@Snatcher Oh that makes sense, I do that with my pfp's too!! (with space stuff ofc)
Its not bad honestly lol, i suck at drawing so keep it up 👍🏻
