Suggestions for my new avatar (my journey to rekindle the art passion)

Hi guys, after 15 months of pandemic, a heavy work toll and 2 family deaths during the interim, I’ve decided to rekindle my passion for art and drawing. Then I thought “what better way to do this by drawing up a new avatar!”

The background: I have a modest talent of copying art, having dabbled in some creative work but mainly copying stuff. The Baby Kong picture in my current avatar was copied from a gaming magazine some 18 years ago, and the last I drew anything was just over 10 years ago.

Lately, I’ve had an inclination to draw something again. Maybe the influence of @CasualCart? Or maybe it’s just one of those natural inclinations. Anyway, what do you guys suggest for my next avatar that’s a good fit for the nickname?

I’m hoping I do more than just 1 drawing and can share some art work on this thread whenever applicable in the future.

When I lack inspiration, but wanna draw, I pick 5 random pages from a video game wiki and see if anything pops out at me. 

My current avatar is a drawing I did of an Orange Dye from Runescape.

As you can see I took some creative liberty, which was easy as the Dye itself is a rather plain item.

Wow - I really need to give myself more dimension outside of being "the guy that draws stuff on VGS" haha.

Anyway, I agree with @DarkTone - a character from your favorite game would be cool. Especially if you customize it somehow to be more "you" if that makes any sense.

You’re like the “Boss Rush” of the VGS community - the guy that draws stuff!

I generally think of you as the guy who draws awesome stuff, but I've read enough of your posts to know you also put a lot of time and effort into your written content. Your responses are measured and thoughtful and when you start a new topic, I pay attention.
