Who surprised me with a drawing of my avatar!
Done by an actual artist, instead of General Zoi's Ponymaker!
I can't decide if I should replace my avatar with this new art 
It's way better than anything I could hope to make, but by the same token, I'm kinda attached to my current avatar, just 'cause I've had the same one for five years now.
Sometimes he gets a Santa Hat (and he will again around Thanksgiving).
I just keep the hat all the time because I like it.
Also, art seems to be missing.
Edit: Never mind. It just took forever to load for some reason.
nice art work
You should definitely occasionally use a cropped image with just the be-hatted biscuit as your avatar.
That's amazing.
Change it to the new art, just until Thanksgiving...
That is fantastic. I agree with Shachza. You can always use a cropped image with the hat on for the holidays.
Neat. But who's the pony?
They captured the look of disturbed wat on your muzzle perfectly.
I'd use it. We don't look gift horses in the mouth around here.

I agree!
>not always having a Santa hat
What are you, some kind of scrub?

My ear gets too hot when I wear my santa hat all the time.
Cool beans.
Glad you liked it. If you get me a santa hat you want, I can put it on the scaled down avatar version I linked you too, if you decided to use it as an avatar
So where's my art gift, 4721045? After all the free editing I've done for you I think I deserve one.
Nah, just buckin' with ya.
Seriously though, you need to let me know when the next chapter of PD is ready. Stop prodding at it and just write it, dammit! 
really like the pic. That facial expression is great.
Perfect! Now use it as your avatar.
I compromised and used the new one one place, and the old one another. Or maybe I was just lazy and didn't update one of them.
4721008
I always figured you just stopped being around to take it off. Jury misses you C2
That's a scone. Not a biscuit.
4721169
I'm around! I'm just a lurker by nature.
Heh, my first smile of the day. Beautiful.
But I'd keep your avatar for at least most of the time, it's just so distinct.
Oh and by the way: that cutiemark. So you are related to Silver Spanner. Knew it.
Definitely a working engineer. Wrench and Hotdog.
Good thing you aint a dragon, or the number of times youd eat the wrench then complain about the hotdog disolving the nut.
Such style, much hat, old meme.
New one, do it!

This one as an actual admiral biscuit, wich is awesome.
Your flaky-cakey master and commander seems to be stealing your avatar's glory there. Shameful. 'Tis a baked bad!
I took my Christmas hat off, but the dagnab chicken keeps pecking me when I try to take hers...
4720916
I think that the one I linked in the blog is the 5000x5000 megapickle one.
4720917
It's adorable!
4720924
Maybe for major holidays or something. Or next Halloween . . . I ought to be able to figure out how to crop an image by then.
4720929
Isn't it, though?
4720938
I do like my holiday avatar, though, with the hat over only one ear (which contrasts nicely with JMac's Quizzical who is completely covered by her hat except for her hooves).
4720939

It's appropriate for FimFiction. I mean, look at all the crazy stories! Random Horse Fact, Object Permanence, Scooataloo and Celestia: Adventures in Twilight's Gall Bladder; Did Somepony Order a Giant Ham; Twilight Eats a Peach . . . and those are just some of the ones I wrote.
4720978
That's a good point.

Votes seem to be mostly in favor of change.

4721045
Nah, I'm totally keeping my small Santa hat version for Christmas. It took me literally hours to make it (because I'm really bad at Photoshop).
But I think I am gonna change to this as my new non-holiday avatar, as soon as I verify that I still have a good copy of the old one for other web sites.
4721121
On my current avatar, people ask sometimes if he's concerned or constipated. I say, why not both?
4721141
I think I'm gonna have to.
4721160
Yeah, I'm certainly not going to change all my avatars on the web. That's, like, tons of work.
4721181
Over here in 'Murica, it's a biscuit.
(Funny thing is that Cygnus and I had a similar discussion when he made me an Admiral Biscuit for one of his readings.)
4721190
Heh, my first smile of the day. Beautiful.
That's the one thing I worry about when it comes to change. I always get confused by people who are changing their usernames or avatars all the time.
I mean, a wrench and a quill is pretty much me.
I'm probably closer to Apple Honey, though. And thanks to autocorrect, I can spell.

It's a quill, actually. Although speaking of working lunches, brake fluid doesn't taste good in a sandwich. Most other automotive fluids are fine.
4721286
I ought to.
Oooh, quoting a saint (and that's a good quote, too).
4721302
The biscuit fleet must be commanded by the admiral of biscuits, and that's a fact.
4721420
He is me and I am him.
Darn chickens. No sense of fashion.
The potato (is it a potato? It looks like a potato in a bicorne, certainly) can wear the santa hat, when the time comes.
4721754
Aye, 'tis so. Still, one o' ye understands fuel injection, while t' other be all about carbs.
4721868
It's not a potato, it's a biscuit in a bicorne.
4722472
...that does make more sense. I guess I'm used to aggressively tidy and cylindrical biscuits.
