Mine is the Japanese version of the Initial D logo.  Initial D is a manga/anime/live-action movie about drift racing.

My Avatar right now is that of Seth, an alcoholic vampire from the Keenspot comic Sorcery 101.  My other avatars from the past and future will probably be products of photoshop and puns on my username.

As part of his user avatar charity project, Luminous Crayon found this nice picture of Tuor on an audience with Ulmo. Thinking it was Túrin, he offered it to me as an avatar. Despite it not being Túrin, I took it, though sooner or later I'll likely change it to a picture of Túrin.

Tuor, Túrin and Ulmo are from Tolkien's Silmarillion, for those not in the know.

"Then shall the last battle be gathered on the fields of Valinor. In that day Tulkas shall strive with Melko, and on his right shall stand Fionwe and on his left Turin Turambar, son of Hurin, Conqueror of Fate; and it shall be the black sword of Turin that deals unto Melko his death and final end; and so shall the Children of Hurin and all men be avenged." - J.R.R.

Mine is the cover of the Sigur Ros ep "viorar vel ti loftarasa" (hope i spelt that right. wish i could actually speak icelandic).
it's a crazy alien-angel fetus thing (or something. i dunno. it's probably just a stylised angel, but it reminds me of those big eyed aliens and of a fetus)
mostly, it's just a wicked pic.

Mine was also created by Luminous Crayon after I replied to his charity thread. It's a very interesting picture of a landscape... mixed emotions and thoughts arise from it. At first it seems like it's just a pretty picture, but then you look at it and something doesn't seem right.

I'm not sure what mine means. All I know is that it looked cool, and that was it.

I've also forgotten where it came from. I'll go and take a look now, I guess.

[Edit] Ah yes, it is a handsome picture of Panda-Z, Defender of the Peace. Basis of several short movies, that I now want to see.
‘Yes, one may live while never leaving their domicile. But then, they aren’t really alive. Exploring, adventuring, becoming a mercenary - whatever one may call it, it is the blood of the world that many are embracing now. Our reach is advanced nearly everyday, and the stars themselves are in our grasp. That is why I, and many others, continue to learn as we do.’
