Well, once upon a time I started to make a Questbook, essentially an expanded/advanced version of Return of the Witchking. I designed a cover for it, based on the original Witch king cover - I took the figure of our great arch enemy himself and photoshopped it a bit. Isn't it strange how Photoshop has become a verb? Of course I didn't use Adobe Photoshop but Micrografx' Picture Publisher, which has almost the same functionality but is infinitely cheaper and more user-friendly. I changed the king's postion from sitting to standing and put him into a large, gloomy vault (don't remember the source of the latter).
When looking for an avatar, I just cut the head from this cover illustration. drathe's blinking eye avatar got the better of me, and I felt compelled to do something like this. So I added a little animation.
As for my user name, Big Bene, it's obvousely a pun on my real name Benedikt and Big Ben. I used it as a charakter name in video games since around 1985.
Edit:
I don't know why, but drathe's name at the end of the first paragraph keeps showing up lowercase, altough I write i uppercase in the edit panel...
