Changing my Avatar

When I saw your avatar it made me stop and think. It made me consider the contrast between the smooth natural stone and the gaping hole of almost unnatural teeth. Odd! But then again the stones encasing a great set of teeth began to look unnatural. Whatever, it certainly provoked a lengthy thread of discussion.

I ask myself what is it you are trying to convey? What is it you are hiding behind that fictional avatar?

If you like it. Then keep it.

I think its weird. I like weird.

I think you could ask that of any avatar.

I think it's a little weird and disturbing. It's Ok and I liked that enough but I don't think that's me.......well all of me. :laugh:

I like the wizard/Gandolf a lot thing and especially Yoda but I don't care to perpetuate movie and fantasy stuff (as much as I like them) with Jedism.

The Yin Yang rock is a good idea as well as the stacked rocks. I look around every now and then, something will come up. Most of the stuff I find doesn't fit well in avator space, file size or details don't show up clearly.

I'm not that concerened what people think. Though "annoying orange" is not my taste. So I took this as an opportunity to get opinions. (which this place is well stocked with) I'd just like my avatat to fit me better and am open to suggestions.

No worries. It's all fun. Keep the ideas flowing.

I think the avatar of a picture, mine being a "false, classy joker" shows an aspect of myself that a photo does not....

Look at me, would you know I try to be funny, try to be classy?

Nope, you'd see s bald headed (skin head?) guy with earrings and a scowl....

Rickie's rocks, to me, signify a person who pictures themselves as "mentally thick, but sturdy and steadfast, not afriad to speak their mind"....

I look at pictures of people, and see what it shows.... Its an aspect of them that a profile doesn't show....

What does a passport photo show? Physical representation...

Just my thoughts...

o_O What am I hiding behind my actual face?!

the rocks remind me of the tooth fairys in Hellboy 2....or hellboys destiny.

I cant see nothing besides that magnificent beard!!

I'm thinking a stone ying yang. Now to find one that fits the space requirements.

Is there a build your own website for avatars?

That was my suggestion :blush:
