OK, I Finally Did It

[rowyn]

But 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. :)

Much better

The original crop of pictures just didn't do you justice. These are much better. I'm always a little shocked when I remember just how pretty you are. *smile* It's unfortunately easy for me to forget the faces of people I see largely online. And I agree with Lynx regarding his comment about your old and often used primary picture making you look menacing. It's nice to see you smiling in these.

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.

You mean this one, right?

I should re-scan this image so it's not so dark. My hair looks black in it. :)

Ah, this one's one of my favorites. (Perhaps I'm biased at the "scheming?") Other favorites are the Sledgehammer and the default Smirk. =)

I had to put the sledgehammer one in, though Lord knows when I'll actually have a reason to use it. :) I figure it's either for when I'm angry, or pretending to be angry.

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

That would be the one!

But don't you want black hair? ;)

*looks at the picture again*

Well. Now that you mention it. No, not really; it doesn't seem to suit my complexion.

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. :)

Well I suppose if you used my pictures you could blind them with my radiant vampire-like paleness at least. Though that might be detrimental to their continued reading of your journal. *grin* Actually they may just confuse us. I've had several people comment that we look quite similiar. And seeing these images reminds me just what compliment that is.

[rowyn]

Awwww. :)

I could scan in some pictures of you for you to use, if you got tired of flying in circles all the time. :)

[brennabat.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I'm not quite sure I'm ready to use my own picture as a image for my journal. Or perhaps I should say for comments since I don't actually, y'know, write in my own journal. Though I did experiment with a image of me holding Nekara which looks suspiciously similiar to your innocent image. I'm not sure if I like it. This was back when I was trying some of (I think) Myrral's lipstick during our vacation and the colors were'nt terribly flattering. Well, maybe some day I'll use my own picture. When I get tired of flying in circles. *grin*

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. :)
