What is your avatar and why?

That avatar makes me smile:

[Queen Hera]

None from above - this Gryphonheart's coat of arms never was an item in HoMM game.

Thats right....it was never an item/artifact in the game (Heroes III The Restoration Of Erathia), it was only on the packaging and CD cover with a Knight holding onto it.

How do you get your avatars?

You can use the "upload avatar from your machine" option on your profile.

Just wnted to say that I changed my avatar from Sheltem to the elven shopkeeper in For Blood and Honor. Sheltem is a cool guy, but it's not a very good gravatar, as you kind of need to know the context to understand the meaning.

Also, MM7 had some nice NPC portraits. And I like elves overall. My initial idea was to use Parson for the new avatar, but his image isn't very good in the game, while the smacker video is too low-res to see pretty much anything.

It's also interesting how, if you look at the NPC portraits (ICONS.LOD), you can see a certain jump in quality between regular people and shopkeepers. Probably because they spent more time on shopkeepers, since they are pretty prominent in the videos. Then again, the portrait of Catherine is pretty gosh darn bad in MM7, compared to the one in HoMM3
