Holiday Avatars 2008

Thanks to all members who participated in the festive shenanigans by dressing up their avatar - I believe the first person to do it was Gordon ?
What would be the next? Mirai cosplay on her birthday? Mirai-chans design was finalized on on 2007/01/28 01:42am. She will be 2 DC Reality years next month but an eternal 17 years old ^^;

Original text from Coco the Bean below.

Here's all the Christmas themed icons I've gathered in the past month or so, together in one place. By the way, the filenames are done by login name, and not by displayed name. (I didn't realize this until I saved about half of them. ^^;) If yours isn't on here leave a comment and I'll edit the picture.

Happy Holidays everyone! :D
*goes back to pretending to read chem textbook but is actually playing with Kagamine Rin nendo*

Mine was impossible to alter for Christmas so i left it alone. Besides it took a lot to re-size and crop this avatar i'm using.

Nice picture. Makes me wonder if I should have made a Christmas avatar too. However considering I haven't got around to just make one in the first place, I'm not surprised that I haven't got around to it yet ^^;

I have figured out what my avatar should be, but I don't have the right picture yet.
