  1. For me, its of course Ace Frehley, idk how many times I've said this already :p Ace Frehley is one of my favourite guitarists, and there's a reason why. Not only does he play very well and contribute very well to KISS, he's one of the most humorous, funniest and down to earth guys I have seen. His interviews are HILARIOUS and his laugh is so memorable. I picked him over Gene and Paul, because well, those two are big jerks. Ace is the spirit of KISS, and he is a spirit of guitar, no one does it like Ace.

    Also, his makeup is probably the best out of the four, except Gene is almost beating him for first place.

    As a guitarist, Ace is just unique in his own way. He has great technical abilities, but unlike a lot of technical wizards, he plays with great feel, and he has a outstanding ear for melody and rhythm. He is literally the definition of a Rock Guitarist, he just does Rock N Roll, but he does it almost best.

    With that said, he's possibly the coolest guitarists to come out from the 70s. His attittude, personality, great guitar playing, insane makeup and costume, persona of a spaceman, and even that Les Paul that sends smoke out of the third Pickup, he's truly one of the best and most influential guitarists ever.

    Sorry for the rant, TL;DR: its one of my favourite guitarists, Ace Frehley and that profile picture is of his first solo album.

  2. Album Of The Month is what I've been doing for a long time, and actually inspired my song of the day.

  3. It's a thing I did when I felt like a creative person :p

    I actually made it by taking huge (Image size) close-ups of renaissance paintings, cutting them in little one-colour parts and placing those over older an mondriaan painting's rectangles of the same colour. I thought it would maybe look cool, but the white parts in the original painting made it look odd. When Messing around with the coloured parts themselves, trying to make some form of a composition, I found out that this red part and this yellow-ornage part match up creating the silluette of a rose (the bottom part actually is a rose in the original painting, the top one is a hyacint). Not too long after I found that that green part on the top looks kinda good there.
    I liked the immage because it is two things: on first sight it is just a composition of red green and yellow-orange textures, but once you look closer you can see that there's a rose in it, an almost hidden detail. (which you, if you wonder, cannot see if you're only the slightest amount of colourblind - an amount that usually goes unnoticed)

  5. Mine is a screenshot ThaKloned took at the Halloween town thing in 2016. I flew into a web with my elytra and was hanging upside down. I thought it looked pretty neat. Didn’t realize how long I’ve actually had it until I typed this lol.

  19. Don't really have a lot to say about it. I like Homestuck and I specifically like this picture :p
  20. It's the same avatar I've had for 2.5 years!

    I've found that nothing else I've ever seen captures my in-game character so well while maintaining the simplicity of a head avatar.
