Where do you guys get the signature avatars?

tektek.org
You can create a new one and then use it.

The avatars themselves are links to the Tektek site. though mine isn't because I combined several into one pic.

Well, I started to make one before I realized I have no idea what my character is going to look like.

The avatars are inexact, so once you have some idea what your character will look like, even if you haven't assembled all of the costume, you can make an appropriate avatar. Then, when you meet folks in-game and connect with them online, they can match the character they saw in-game with your avatar. I for one like visual aids that help me connect names, faces, characters, and costumes together. It's all quite a lot to take in, even with help!

It could also be helpful to add your real first name to your signature, if you're comfortable doing that.

It's a great way to visualize concepts for costuming!

I would do it now if the site was working.

Looks like you did it, and it's looking pretty slick if I may say so.

Hmm, every time that I try to paste in the link from tektek, it says "The URL you specified is invalid." :-(

Maybe you aren't getting the right one. You need to copy/paste from the space labeled CODE.

Actually, I was putting it into my avatar, not my signature...Doh!

Hurray! It works!
