Pyrotex Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 My avatar was produced (rather accidently) by my JAVA application which explores the Mandelbrot Set, a mathematical structure of infinite complexity and beauty. The black "thingie" I call a "Mandelblot". It appears to be standing, and is surrounded by a blue aura. To me, it represents the quartering of the universe into active and passive principals. No, just kidding. :shrug: I just like the way it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Grimm Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Mine's just a drawn representation of what i hope i look like on my good days. The basic features are the same - i do have blue eyes, really pale skin and red hair and i do wear glasses - they just look a little better in the pic than in real life...

Mercedes Benzene Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 :Bump2:It's been 2 years, we have many new members, and many more older members who have changed their avatars. Mine is a representation of my user name. Mercedes Benzene is a pun between my favorite aromatic hydrocarbon benzene (showing my love for chemistry), and my favorite deutscher Autohersteller, Mercedes-Benz.The avatar itself is, if you will, a visual pun. It's a benzene ring structure with the Mercedes logo as the delocalized bond representation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrotex Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I tried a number of avatars when I first became a member here. but at some point we had a thread about the Mandelbrot Set. Here are a few images from the Mandelbrot space. As it happens, I had written a program in PERL to display the Mandelbrot space and explore it, and I had saved a few images, and it occurred to me to crop one of them and use it as an avatar.It's been with me ever since.Hmmm...maybe I should produce a bigger one.

TheBigDog Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 My current one is a picture of me from a party around 1987. I always brought a 12 pack of Yoohoo with me. One of my buddies doctroed this piture up to make it look like an ad. Bill WOW!!! I had so much hair that some of it was out of place. I retrospect I think that stray lock was checking to see how far the fall was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkain101 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I made it. I liked it. I used it. I was messing around on adobe photoshop and made some interesting graphics that can be viewed in the album I started right here on our very own hypography. I have a pretty good nac for this sort of thing and I am willing to make custom avatars if anyone is interested. In fact, I could always use an idea for a graphic project, so if anyone wants some kind of a custom sig, av, or whatever, I'll be glad to give it a shot.

freeztar Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 My current one is a picture of me from a party around 1987. I always brought a 12 pack of Yoohoo with me. Did you always attend BYOY parties Mr. Party Man? :) My avatar is depicting a glowing orb of gas that is very, very, very far away. It's a crop from a Nasa photo showing a far away galaxy. New avatar coming soon... (arkain, wanna help?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
