Over the years, I've gone through several different iterations of the name HAZMAT, but one thing has remained constant: an avatar consisting of a black skull with HM on its head. Although the avatars themselves have changed, the design has remained the same.

Here's a look back at my past avatars:

The very first HM Skull avatar. The skull and crossbones image I got from Google images, then I added the eyes and HM.

After that, I made a blocky, sprite-ish avatar. It has one front tooth for some reason, instead of two. (wat)

The next edition is just plain bad. Jagged edges, a tiny nose, and tiny teeth. However the "evil" triangular eyes are a plus. This was the first avatar I hand drew.

Another "sprite" avatar. Nothing very special about it, besides the extremely round head. Dx

The next was another sprite av, and this one was incredibly tiny! It also only has one front tooth, like the first sprite av. (wat again)

The next avatar was just freaking cool. It was also the first to not use crossbones. I guess I was no longer feeling like a pirate (DO WHAT YOU WANT CUZ A PIRATE IS FREE; YOU ARE A PI-ohwait ur not a pirate anymore lol). This avatar came with some nice pointy cheekbones and teeth, and featured the "evil" eyes. This was another hand drawn avatar; I drew it in 11th grade on my Pre-Calculus Final Exam Review Packet. Because, really, who needs to review for finals?

(this image was really large, and when it was scaled down, the edges got flattened)

The next avatar simply changed the shade of green to match my text color, because color coordination is cool.

The next (and most recent) skull was more stylized, featuring plenty of angles for a pointy look. It also has some really long teeth. This, too, was hand drawn. This was sketched in my school planner during a boring study hall.

I have a few more designs sketched in my planner, so I'll probably have a new one sometime soon (when I stop being lazy).

And there you have it, all my HM Skulls I ever used as avatars. Well, I think that's all of them. I might have deleted some over the years. Dx

and as a quick bonus, here's an HM "smeag" gif I made a a year or two ago

I made a new one, this time more anatomically correct. It's based on this image.

I also now have all of these images in a rotating avatar. style_emoticons/default/cool.gif

I was thinking it was time for a new one. style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif

So, here's a new one.

A recolor of my av for when my name was Purple Haz.

A Phase II Clone Trooper helmet in my skulls' usual style for when my name was Haztrooper.

A skull design I doodled in Inkscape. When re-making it in GIMP, it didn't turn out looking as cool as the original doodle did IMO.

A slight edit of the above for when my name was TAMZAH.

A recolored skull from a Team fortress achievement. This is the first time I ditched the HM.

I stopped playing TF2, so a few months later I decided to leave my TF2-skull behind. Since I couldn't come up with any ideas for a design, I just went with simple geometric shapes.
