Ape Lad sez, "I've taken the shape of the default twitter avatar and adapted it to some non-bird characters. I still haven't figured out how to fit Galactus into that shape."

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    I have been absolutely loving these. Consider my cap doffed, Apelad, sir.

    I like how there is a qualitative difference in the way the third one maps the original form to the bird. I have no idea how one describes this in formal terms.

    As part of the Cthalloween Lovecraft-meets-Twitter event, we got this awesome mashup of Cthulhu and the Twitter logo created by John Kovalic of Dork Tower fame: http://www.twitter.com/cthalloween

      And, might I add, Cthalloween was loads of fun! I look forward to seeing it again next year, and maybe by then I’ll figure out where all those cultists went…

    These are fantastic! Each of them works great.

    To me Galactus is all helmet. Start there, and go down. I vote for the Jack Kirby-style; “about to consume a world” eyes!

    A tiny little Wolverine embryo! How adorable!
