A little avatar history. The first three ones are remakes, since I've lost the originals.
My first avatar was made with Paint in 2004. It's gay.
The second one is a sort-of funny picture I found on YTMND in 2006. It's definitely an improvement, but people kept thinking it was my dog.
When I was banned from an old board I used to frequent in late 2006, I made a new account called Renigol. The mirror in this avatar is like a subtle hint saying "Read my name backwards".
Found this image on GoNintendo in 2007. I had never heard of the Professor Layton franchise back then, but the guy's expression was funny, so eh.
And for reference, my current avatar (made in 2009). Finally decided to stop stealing other people's images.
