Can anyone tell what my avatar is?

Asked by Berserker (33548points) July 21st, 2011

I realize that this question may get modded for not being any kind of real discussion fodder, or having anything to do with Fluther. But I really am curious…I chose this avatar from a video game I’m currently playing, because I thought that the artwork in the game that this picture is from was awesome.
Now, my monitor is old and decrepit and ancient, and the only settings that allow my eyes to look at it without melting are all really dark colored settings. So there’s a lot of stuff that doesn’t come out too well on here. Personally I can barely see my avatar, but I know what it is because I’ve seen it on my television.
However, I have got some feedback where people ask what the hell it is. So even without a fancy monitor it may not come out right…it’s not really important, just kinda irks me because I think the drawing is so awesome lol. And apparently nobody can see it. XD
So, can anyone actually tell what it is? (I also cut out some edges, so some of it is missing, but one should be able to tell anyways, if it comes out properly)

It looks Gigeresque to me

Kardamom's avatar

It kind of looks like a dementor wielding a sword.

Bellatrix's avatar

No. It is interesting but I am not sure what it is.

Berserker's avatar

@jaytkay Not from him no…I’m not even sure who drew this…

I guess it could be something with feathers or scales. But if I just saw this image without a question calling attention to it, I would think it was a couple of boards in a wooden fence with knotholes.

Berserker's avatar

Yeah, the line near the middle is because the picture is in a ’‘book’’. I had to crop out all the information that was written there on this thing, not sure how much that messes up the quality. Probably not much.

But yeah, pretty much looks like a black blotch, at least on this monitor.

So… what is it? :)

Berserker's avatar

@dappled_leaves I can’t say because I really wanna know if people can make it out or not.

incendiary_dan's avatar

Definitely looks like death or some other robed figure with a sword.

As seen on my tiny netbook. :)

A self portrait?

Hehehe. :)

Berserker's avatar

@KatetheGreat You always say the coolest things. :)

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

To me, it looks like an upside down wilted bouquet of flowers from the cemetery.

Berserker's avatar

@MRSHINYSHOES Wow…that’s not what it is, but I like how you see things. :)

Some type of Wizard with a sword.

Berserker's avatar

@johnpowell What the devil? How did you do that?

jrpowell's avatar

Invert in Photoshop.

filmfann's avatar

It’s obviously an Iron Horse vomiting a bouquet of roses and a sword.

no, I can’t tell at all

Berserker's avatar

@filmfann Is that some movie I should probably see? :D

RealEyesRealizeRealLies's avatar

Every time I think I’ve got it, something else comes to mind. I see everything from a castle to a gargoyle wing.

AmWiser's avatar

Geeese! I can’t figure out what it is, so I’ll say it’s gobbledegoop. Am I close?! :D

Tropical_Willie's avatar

Think I stayed in a Motel room with that in the back corner on the wall by the Air Conditioner.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

^^rofl

I have no idea except maybe Death brandishing a sword or staff, or something like that….... was johnpowell’s answer correct?

Berserker's avatar

Hmm, well it seems that more can make it out than I thought. Cool.

If you see that in a darkened wall corner…fear. Or laugh, whichever. :D

Thanks for the help yall. :)

Jeruba's avatar

And so—how about for those of us who can’t?

Kayak8's avatar

It is a hooded, robed figure (origin unknown) without a face and wielding a sword. But at first glance I thought it was erotic in the O’Keefe tradition . . .

lillycoyote's avatar

Is it a picture of what’s growing on the wall in my bathroom, in the corner, behind my toilet?

Berserker's avatar

It’s a hooded guy pointing a sword. It’s an enemy from a game I’m playing, the enemy is called Swordmaster. The enemy isn’t very impressive, just annoying, but I love his artwork. (all enemies have their personal artwork in the game, it unlocks once you defeat at least one of them, including bosses of course)

And it may indeed be standing by your toilet. :)

lillycoyote's avatar

@Symbeline LOL. Good to know. So, I suppose spraying him with Clorox Cleanup will only make him angry. In that case, I will let him be for the time being; as long as he doesn’t start poking me in the ankles with his sword when I’m on the throne. If does, then it’s on. Take no prisoners

Berserker's avatar

@lillycoyote

I said that too…until I had to fight three of em buggers at the same time lol.

talljasperman's avatar

A character from Balders Gate or Icewind Dale 2…? ... I belive its from Forgotten Realms… is the game from Black Isle or BioWare?

Coloma's avatar

With my glasses it looks like a head of zombie lettuce, maybe Romaine gone bad.
Without my glasses, at first glance, well, I was a’ fearin’ it might be something that needs to be flushed. But I thought..” Nooo, Symbeline can’t be a feces fetisher, that would just destroy our relationship on the spot. lol

woodcutter's avatar

Shit, it’s a picture of me first thing in the morning. You might as well knock on the door if you got that far. That had to have been through the window….also weird.

talljasperman's avatar

I say it is a good chance that the picture is one of a Lich.

Coloma's avatar

Zombie Lichen?

rebbel's avatar

A werewolf, milliseconds before his throat gets splitten by an poisoned arrow.

Berserker's avatar

@talljasperman It’s from Castlevania Lords of Shadow, from Konami. It’s a ghost, there’s basically ’‘nothing’’ inside the robe. I love how the hood itself acts like a ’‘face’’.

@Coloma Lol no don’t worry, no poop for me.

Coloma's avatar

@Symbeline

Thank GOD! lol

Berserker's avatar

@Coloma Just a nice zombie coloured slurpee. :D
