Thanks! Cool idea!

Thanks again!

Well, maybe I was exaggerating a little there. Usually whenever I create something I keep it. Whenever I "throw something away", it's probably when I start making something, get halfway and then think "actually, I don't think I want this". Thanks for your advice though!

Thanks for your advice again!

I'd be thinking: 'Dalek104', what can I do with that? What image can I come up with?

I
did design an avatar for myself not too long ago, but then I replaced it.
I may consider creating another, though.
