What does your Avatar picture mean?
Hello everyone! After the desktop topic, I got curious about what does the Avatar picture represent? And why did you choose it to represent your character?
For me, since I cannot see the person and his facial gestures, it is the first impression. If he/she has a smiling cartoon or a cute puppy he seems to me as a nice person.
What do you think? Why did you choose your avatar and does it have special meaning?
Mine is an Eagle:

It is a vector drawing traced from a photo. I love animals and especialy birds, since they are free to fly wherever they want. When I was a kid I had to climb several kilometers to the top of a mountain (it was a trip with school). It was very steep and we had to use ropes. I saw eagles and other birds flying about... just cruising the air lazily, not heeding the cliffs or us below. This fascinated me I am sure it will be something I will remember a long time.
Birds do not have state borders, stop signs, streets or restricted areas :)

Interesting subject for a thread. I see where you are coming from. Alas, my avatar animal doesn't soar like an eagle but raids garbage cans. However, they can be as cute as hell. :D

My avatar is some swaami guru.
I use that 'cos he is better looking than me
and because we have much in common >grin<
This is the real personna:

Ringtail, your avatar is cute. We have one of those animals where I work as a security guard, but it won't let us near it 30 meters it runs away.
Intbel, why not post a picture of yourself for a change?

I'm shy.
Re: What does your Avatar picture mean?
Always a cool topic :)
Mine is a character I feel like at times...
Features a well muscled arm growing from the temple, which reaches out to scratch my forehead when I am amazed by something or another... ;) :D
Basically, I was comparing the responce/feel of the warp tool in PI, to those related tools found within a whole host of other apps... at the time we were working with a baby 266 celeron, 128 megs of ram, and the responce times of various tasks within certain solutions was a very interesting study... the painting fun was pure bonus :D

My avatar image is a photo from my old drivers license (about 5 or 6 years ago). I had long hair then and wore it pulled back in a pony tail. It was long enough I sat on it quite often which became a problem when moving my head :D
Hair cut is much shorter now and more gray :(
Although I'm quite proud of each gray hair, I earned each one :)
Re: What does your Avatar picture mean?
Mine's inspired by the "Dummies guide..." series .
Which would reveal a lot about me and my IQ level...:D

If I had a webcam and you could see me working on the computer, this is what you'd likely see. Note the intense, serious, somber glare and those piercing observant eyes. Would you let this person work on your photos? :rolleyes:
Re: What does your Avatar picture mean?
I use a photo of me because it looks like me. :) Actually I just changed the avatar to a newer photo of me. Taken just last week on my digital camera at work. I used to have a long pony tail just like Soquilli.
We finally get to see Raymond here... :)
