Self Portrait/Picture Timeeeee!!

Post by Odd1 »

I'm curious as to how many cartoonists here use a self portrait in their avatar. If you do, post here saying so! If not, do you have a self portrait or a photo of yourself?

That's not me in my avatar. It's a random manga drawing I did a few weeks ago! I'm busy working on a self portrait right now but it won't be accurate until I actually dye my hair blue, so for now I'm keeping it :D

It's only fair I go first, so here's a really lousy photo of me.

Mmm, you look pretty close to that portrait as it is if you don't mind me saying so... Not like this "portrait" over there <--

Pfft, I've gotta' redesign him sometime, he's supposed to be me. But alas, quite distant from the truth... For a start I have longer hair ^.^

Hummm, the only picture I've got at the mo is *cough* this;

Both of which are at least a year old o.O The one on the right is about 2 or 3 years now... Gah... I have to get a newer picture... Not that I've changed a terribly large amount but... Errr... hummm... Yesh...

My .sig is a fairly accurate self-portrait. Here's the real thing:

Incidentally, that's a damn cute pic, Liz, crappy quality or not. But why the monkey on your back? :P

Mine's a self portrait. Really. In fact, here's a picture of me and a few friends that was in the local newspaper not too long ago.

Image

I'm the one on the left. Isn't the likeness uncanny?

Hummm, that is uncanny...

Oh, and here's a one I took just now, ahhh, the joys of the 5 year old webcams... It was amazing back then, I mean, Colour! Wow... It couldn't take the light this morning. It looked like I was burning, which while probably being an improvement on my current looks I decided not to post it...

My head hurts... x.X

Here's what I think is probably the best picture of me that I have:

It didn't hurt, really. It just surprised the hell outta me.

Guy: "Okay, we'll go on 'three'. Ready?"
Me: "Sure."
Guy: "Okay. One! Two!"
Me: "GAH!!"
Guy: "Three!"

Sylvan, I don't know how many self portraits I've seen from you know. I think I lost count :wink: Just kidding. I can't blame you. If I had your artistic talent I would have at least created one self portrait by now that had resemblance to my face :roll:

As for my photo, it isn't cute, it's deceptive. You see, any face looks cute next to a chimp! 8) And yes, that is the monkey's only purpose of sitting on my shoulder, bless it's heart.

Good god, that photo is disturbing. There is sorta a mild resemblance, except for the fact that they don't look at all similar. And Liz doesn't look like a hideously deformed space-clone. :P

Holy crap! That... That's... Quite disturbing...

Really o.@

Not even the monkey helps...

And for some strange reason it reminds me of this:
Image

I know, I don't look like Keanu, but as much as I try it doesn't stop some gals at college. I'd take it as a compliment if only that photo didn't exist. But alas.


And Ghastly; JEESUS H. CHRIST! Just put them away! PUT THEM AWAY! ARGHHHHH! Arrrrrr.... *melts* damn good job your portrait cuts off at the neck... I'd hate to have to see that every post...

Wow doesn't this look like a Fark.com session

Post by Kisai »

For some reason that just came to mind.

And no, my avatar doesn't resemble me ... for one, I didn't put the glasses on my Avatar... Two My hair was never that long, or that style. (It's hard to have your hair long enough when your current job requires it to be "professional" ... I've been working graveyard shift, so it's been rather unprofessional as of late.) Hehe... If I brush it backwards, it looks kinda like something from an anime.

And getting me to post a picture of myself is not going to happen anytime soon. It took several months for me to send a single picture to a friend online... and the rest of the people in the IRC channel have yet to see a picture and it's been almost 4 years.

(I trust people as far as I can throw them... which is not very far. ^^)

Sylvan, dude, you're cracking me up :lol:

Oh and no prob Kisai. Not everyone is comfortable with posting photo's of themselves on the internet. It took me a while to be comfortable with ever having my webcam on.

Lag, ur pics are cool and you do look a little bit like Keanu, but I'm having a difficult time dealing with this sudden reality... You're so furless, and - and so - not blue... It's strange that image was still in my head after seeing your (school?) photo earlier this year.

Meanwhile I would like it if someone posted a picture of what Molly Ringwald during the period she looked like me :) Before today I wasn't even aware of her existance and I've only seen this one photo of her.

Heh. Well, I'm my most cooperative model...
But what's this about lack of talent? You're plenty talented! Geez, you're probably depressing all of the genuinely untalented keenspacers. 8)

How appropriate, I just went to take photos for my driving license... Here's what came out.

I never knew I looked so like criminal. Or is it just me?
"The juxtaposition of form and function wherewithin the corpereal embodiment of this one true, sacred, and pure form is simply an antediluvian spectre harking back to the very epitomy of architecture. I find your work striking...it has panged my heart to the basest metals of my soul.

Remember, simplicity, form, and soul are the keys to success in this field."
