Thumbs up You--drawrings or avatars, not photographs
this is the thread for people who really don't want to post a photo, but are happy with a drawring of themselves. Draw it yourself, or get an aviatar artist to do one for you--

here's mine:

and

no drawring can accuratly show age--my pictures make me look like I'm 12. (don't worry, I'm not--It's just hard to show my age)

Oh, this is me as a half orc. It was made by someone that owns an MMORPG to be an NPC face, however I don't think they've found a place for my face to fit in just yet.

Spoiler


Problem is if I wanted to use this for role playing purposes I'd end up playing some kind of half orc bard or something stupid. Typecasting.

Admittedly, my hair isn't quite so yellow, but at the time this avatar was drawn (by Gorby), it looked a lot like me.



Myself when I was going to start a webcomic based loosely on my life:



And this is a woodcut I did of myself once upon a time

A drawing of me, which I am not proud of. I once tried drawing a comic; it was bad...

A stor-trooper... I think it was a meme a few years back which died out again. It was on my hard-drive, so why not...


Ooh... Another meme which seems to have died: a Meez...

Meez was a meme? I had no clue...

But I felt I had to make one, since I have no drawing skills to speak of.

Wow, is that Meez thing so old? Because I've just discovered it. I'm having a blast! (ok, I'm merely amused by it but it's been entertaining for over 2 minutes :p)

Edit: When I read "aviatar" I keep thinking of avatars of ourselves as birds :p Quite fitting for the animal week thingy.

So I did the meez thing of the closet I think I look in RL, based on their things I could choose from of course.

Just a thought: if a lot of people are going to do Meezes now, perhaps instead of embedding them, you should instead provide a link to the image, as I've just edited my post to do.

'cause it's slowing down my connection loading all of these large animated gifs up on one page. Don't know about other people, though.

Here's a drawing of me done by one of my friends. It actually resembles me quite a bit, apart from, you know, the lack of LIMBS and all.
It has eyes, I have eyes.
It has hair, I have hair...

IT'S LIKE LOOKING INTO A MIRROR!

I'm planning on drawing myself an avatar soon. This plan is being hindered by the fact I'm not good at drawing...

Yeah... about the stocks... My friends have threatened to do that to me several times before.
Wow, you're locked in stocks as you write this? Pretty cool :p
Also, I like what you're wearing, the striped stockings or whatever they are called are cute. ^^

Now that everybody has made one of these... :s it does feel a little pointless and it would be better to post photographs. Sorry, I'm losing interest in non-real life stuff. I'm off to the other thread to post an actual photograph of me.

Missing limbs? Horn thingies? I think I'm getting a flashback to watching Elfen Leid.

Anyway, I'm not really good at art either, but that doesn't stop me from making avatars. Lookit me go!

Drawings are fun, though, especially if you've already posted pictures of yourself. (Including some of me & my new Jazzmaster, if you haven't seen them yet)

Nono, I'm not saying they're not fun, but just that I rather see photos of people than drawings, at least if it's to know what they look like.
Now I want to check out your guitar! ^^

In case I don't find the thread, dunno, can you post the link or PM it to me?
