"That's Me!" Avatar Week? (Silly idea inside.)

[Zulu Romeo]

I need to find a decent picture of myself somewhere... just imagine a cross between J. Allen and Emher and you're about 50% of the way there already.

A cuddly bear in a starfleet uniform?

Sounds intriguing...

You got the wrong 50% there,


Although intriguingly I have been described by some work colleagues as "cuddly". Even though they've clearly never cuddled me...

Wow, I love this thread! Thanks to everyone who is participating. You people are just great!

Anyway, Hi, it's me and NCC totally cheated with the proper photo shots!

Oh, come on, you look fabulous, K'ehleyr!

The reason why I chose this image for my avatar is that it's one of the few pics where I don't completely hate my face. It was done by a friend of mine who's studying photography and did some photos of my band. I like the lighting on this one. But my face ... looks weird. I'm working on something different for the avatar.

Done. I'm bandwagoning.

That was more difficult than picking a normal avatar.

Oh, I know just what you mean. But I'm glad you made the effort.

Okay, my week starts now

Honestly, that's a very nice pic. I'm so glad you did that. It's good to see all your faces. I will try to memorize them so that I can think of the face behind the post when this is over.

Well I did it but I would rather have my cat butt avatar, I feel quite naked and vulnerable without it.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Please don't do it if you really feel uncomfortable. This is just for fun. I don't want you to feel bad, really.

 

[Capn Flukie]

Ok, I thought I'd join in too. It's a couple months old, I'm too stressed looking right now to take a new one.

 

[Praetor]

my av is what i look like. i'm really an ancient autonomous robotic lifeform disguised as a high-performance concept sports car, posting on the world wide web.

Tell me: what's Optimus Prime like?

Great idea, NCC-1701. I'm all for anonymous honesty. I'm in.

 

[Miss Chicken]

I have used my cat butt avatar (or variations of it) for so long I now heavily idenify with it which is quite pathetic really

But I guess I can manage without it for a week.

 

[trekkiedane]

^No need!

Here's your all new Miss Chicken Avatar Emoticon:

 

[Thor Damar]

I'm kinda tempted to take the challenge and leave the Damar behind for a week...

And I have.

Behold Thor Damar in the flesh! (as it were!)

Thanks NCC, but I'm still going to work on the lighting

Everyone looks great
Come on Zee and others ~ it's like plunging into a cold sea ~ once you're in it feels really good

And I have.

You look almost exactly like I thought you would.

I mean that as a compliment, of course.

How's this?

I thank you for the kind words and ask only your forbearance of my bad teeth (we Brits have our reputation to consider after all)

Here's your all new Miss Chicken Avatar Emoticon:

That is totally awesome!

 

[Michael]

I absolutely agree.

... it's like plunging into a cold sea ~ once you're in it feels really good

I like this analogy, because it's true. It does feel like that somehow.

Ok, I thought I'd join in too.

You look great. I think you somehow look like an actor. Full of grace. I'm not kidding.

Great idea, NCC-1701. I'm all for anonymous honesty. I'm in.

Thank you, Praetor. You of all people here might know where exactly I got the idea for this, don't you?

Here's your all new Miss Chicken Avatar Emoticon:

Ha, that' awesome. You know, it's funny how long a way this animation has gone since I animated it last year or so.

You look almost exactly like I thought you would.

Hm, I dunno. I mean, you look great, Thor. But somehow I imagined you more ... Cardassian.

Edit: ^*AHA!* -So you were the one! -I've been trying to remember so many times! -Especially when I made the mistletoe and the without sombrero versions. /Edit.

That is totally awesome!

Oh I don't know... but It is probably useful -at least for Miss C.

 

[K'Ehleyr]

Thanks NCC, but I'm still going to work on the lighting

How's this?

Thanks Flukie, but I was going for dark and mysterious

That's scarey that you can do that thou

 

[Michael]

*AHA!* -So you were the one! -I've been trying to remember so many times! -Especially when I made the mistletoe and the without sombrero versions.

Yup, that's why the original GIF had my trademark () rounded edges. I animated every single frame of that cat's wiggling tail in Flash. But I don't exactly remember why I did that. Might have been because of the whole Sombrero craze.

 

[backstept]

suppose I'll play along for a bit

Nice work!
I've been looking into that file from all directions to see if I could find some thing to identify the maker by -but of course I haven't been looking at the obvious


Would this be more "dark and mysterious"?

 

[thestrangequark]

I'll join in. It'll be interesting to see if there are changes in the way people respond to me, and to each other, with our faces on display.

I love the aura!
