If you use or want to use one of the below avatars, please let me know which one. I like to keep track.
Below are displayed virtually all of the avatars I've ever cut out for use on Arfcom, sorted very approximately by time of creation. Large blocks of images are spoilered for your convenience. I will try to only leave the most recent "block" of avatars unspoilered. There are considerably in excess of 2,000 avatars on this page, so they'll take time to load.
As of 2014-03-27, this is a recreation of the OP of a thread which I had posted in the Team forum, which has since been archived. I have reserved the first couple of replies for expanding the OP, since the post editor seems to cap out at 160k characters or so.
Please don't quote the OP. Your post will just be screen after screen after screen of links to pictures, and it'll look real bad.
I know loading this whole page at once and paging through the avatars is kind of lame. I'm trying to pare down the ones that aren't great. If anyone has suggestions on a better way to organize or display them, I'm open to it.
In addition to this one, I strongly recommend these other avatar threads:

If you see an avatar in this post that is in use by another poster, or where an identical or extremely similar avatar has been posted by someone else, please let me know so I can take it down. Furthermore, if you see an image which is in violation of the rules, please let me know so I can take it down.
Note: Virtually none of the images displayed hereafter are my own original work - they're all cropped and resized from pictures I found on the internet because I thought they were interesting to look at. I get a lot of the pictures I use from imageboards and forums, so it is beyond my capacity to attribute all of them. If you see your work or the work of someone you know would not approve of this use, please let me know and I'll take the offending image down.
If you'd like to use one of these avatars, please just post in this thread with a link to the one you'd like (right click on the one you want, click "copy image URL" and paste it in your post, or else type the File Name) and I'll move it to the "In Use" section. I can also add a BFL or whatever you'd like to it, but my Paint.Net skills are limited. For complex requests, I recommend the threads linked above.
I crop avatars from whatever ends up in my Downloads folder, which mostly means it's a lot of dumb internet shit and animal-people. If you want an avatar but don't see one you like, please feel free to post an image you'd like me to crop/resize or a "theme" you think you might like (e.g., "soldiers firing their rifles" or "shit what is on fire").
