your profile own picture ?

[ronan]

Hello

while looking at some posts here and here, I was wondering about your "avatars" ( profile own picture) 
Does it have a special meaning ?
a special history ?
If it is reaaly your face, is it a recent picture ?

I've been using mine for ages now, can't remember why. It's a real photo of La Commune de Paris (1871). ( May be time to change and use a new one ?  )

Mine is either one of my figures, or this one someone did for me in response to the 'Does the Daily Mail hate you' quiz!

Yes. That's really my face.

Actually, since the release of the C word, and the disappearance of the other C word, I've been as happy as a pig in clover.

Thinking about changing it. I'm not sure to what, but I can promise that it won't be a photograph of me.

Currently one of my characters from "Runes of Magic."

The Rabbit head is actually a helmet rather than the characters face ... apparently.

Have been considering changing to one of my characters from EVE Online who looks rather more like me.

Mine's supposed to be a sort of sci-fi eye.
It's actually a shot of the sun taken through the thick base of my old plastic coffee mug....Got lots of shallow cracks and flaws in it.

That's very clever. As I think I've just said in another thread, the creativity of the members of this forum is amazing.

Yes ! 

Techno, I was thinking it was from a Sci Fi Movie. It's great you made it by your own ! ( I d' like to see the pic in real size)

Can I just point out that I've just changed my profile pic. Lovely study of a Bren. It's not me holding it.

It's not me either.

It's a digital painting of mine.

I just realized my avatar image has gone missing. It was an image of an AWI soldier. I added it when I was knee deep into my AWI project.

My new avatar is an 18th century British grenadier holding a book. Until earlier this year I had a side business selling military history books at, www.grenadierbooks.com.  Early on in the business I had a 28mm figure sculpted to hand out at conventions.

I was looking for a picture of a miserable old git as an avatar and didn't realise until I'd posted it that it was Leonardo da Vinci. Still, he's suitably sour looking.

My original caricature of the late and unlamented Muammar Gaddafi mysteriously vanished about twelve months ago. Anyone finding him, please leave him where he is.
