OK, I Finally Did It

rowynBut I'm not especially proud of it. I now have ten little pictures of ... well, me, to choose from when posting.
I still think I'd rather have littler drawings of an avatar, though. I just can't decide, y'know ... what avatar. My muse idea sort of fell through when I finally figured out what my muse looks like. He's male. It might confuse people if I used his picture.
To those of you who liked my former heavy reliance on a single image, I offer my condolences.
I'm considering changing some of these over to different little pictures of me. Any votes on which I should ditch first, or any other commentary, I'd be happy to hear it. :)

Date: 2003-05-02 10:13 pm (UTC)Much better
Date: 2003-05-03 01:16 am (UTC)In case you are wondering I like the studious, sledge, amused, tired and content images. And the sly picture reminds me of Bia as well.

Date: 2003-05-03 05:40 am (UTC)You mean this one, right?
I should re-scan this image so it's not so dark. My hair looks black in it. :)

Date: 2003-05-03 11:33 am (UTC)I'd bet you and Brennabat both like the "scheming" one because it's a little retro, a sort of 19th century style to it. I bet you'd like the rest of the outfit, too -- I'm wearing a peach ball gown, looks very Southern-Belle-ish. :)
Yep

Date: 2003-05-04 07:59 am (UTC)Well. Now that you mention it. No, not really; it doesn't seem to suit my complexion.
Re: Much better
Date: 2003-05-03 05:42 am (UTC)Oh ... and thank you. *blush* But I ought to use your pictures instead of mine, and trick everyone into thinking I really am pretty. I think I've got better headshots of you than I do of me, anyway. :)

Date: 2003-05-05 08:05 pm (UTC)And you do have this perfectly good bat-flying-in-circles to use. Given how much I angsted over uploading all my photos, I think you're quite sensible to stick with what works. :)

Date: 2003-05-03 07:25 am (UTC)With glasses or without, in makeup, in an evening gown, or in the MouseWoman costume, it's all you, Rowyn. I just think of these as different facets of the same personality. Rather like the "Jedi" and "Matrix" sides of Kage that come out from time to time. It's all part of the same package. :-)
(Incidentally, I like my own image better without glasses...but not enough to get contacts or have laser eye surgery done. Too much money, too much hassle.)

Date: 2003-05-03 08:20 am (UTC)Mmm. Yes, I know you're right. I think part of it is that, if I'm going to use pictures of myself, I want them to look mostly the way I do every day. The "content" picture may be "me", but I think it gives the wrong idea about how I really look on a typical day. I wouldn't want someone I'd met on LJ to meet me in person and think "Huh, she doesn't look much like her picture." Or, at the very least, not think "She doesn't look as good as her picture." >:)

Wow.
Re: Blink

(I think I need an embarrassed icon now .... *extra blush*)

Date: 2003-05-03 09:11 am (UTC)But who am I to talk? I'm using a comic of a sharpei. (I'm too cowardly to use my "real face". That and the fact that there are very few photos of me in my own possession. [I tend to collect pictures of other people, under the logic that I don't see them in the bathroom mirror (ideally).] Not that there's anything wrong with someone having oodles of pictures of themselves.)
Anyone want to borrow my shovel now that I'm done with it?

Date: 2003-05-03 11:40 am (UTC)Er ... not to be unusually obtuse, but which one *would* that be?
Not that there's anything wrong with someone having oodles of pictures of themselves.
It's happened more by accident than design. I'm perfectly happy to pose for pictures, but with the exception of the one "Glamour Shots" experience, all of the ones I've used here were taken at the request of other people, who then, umprompted, gave me copies. It's ... a little weird, I'll admit. Almost all the pictures I've taken on my own are of other people or places -- I rarely ask anyone to take my picture.

Not right now, but I may need one later -- you never know. :)

We interrupt this program for a special bulletin!
Date: 2003-05-03 07:53 pm (UTC)Woman posts new icons, gets twenty-one comments! Men and women everywhere are in shock and awe! ;)

Anyway, they're great photos. And even if you don't think all of them look like you (in regards to your reply to Sophrani), I'd have to disagree! They all look very much like you. Ack, hey, keep that hammer away from me! Aiiee!
