I sort of like the monsters (I see they get dissed a lot), but there’s a couple of parts I could do without. I’m wondering where the images for the parts are located and if I can make my own? I searched through the directory structure and I can’t find it.

Agreed. I’m not keen on having a purple isosceles triangle for my avatar on Buddypress.

I’m not sure if this is the option, but in the WP admin panel, go to Settings > Discussion. Try changing the default avatar radio buttons at the bottom of the page to Mystery Man or None. Hope this helps.

I think you look both cunning and smart as an isosceles triangle. I’m sort of a square.

Seriously, though, I think they are all actually hosted on gravatar.com, so I guess there’s no adding your own monster parts to it.
