3 "me's", these are the avatars I use/d for the longest period, the most "famous" ones I've use/d. As you see, in the selection of avatars, I always liked to choose a image/album which had a face or something that represent one, mainly because I "think" avatars of this type(album faces) make me "believe" these are the faces of the guy talking to me. Just like Micky, or the one with Quella Di.... avatar, also Dean's, El Bothy's, Crimson 87's, others....

Well, somewhat confusing that. Here you choose which of these "faces" you think suited better with my "persona" here in the forum.

Yeah, I know, weird pollEmbarrassed

...interesting Pablo.
 
When you first joined you were all ears - eager to hear everything about Prog.
 
Later you became reflective - thinking about whatever you played
 
Now you are a just cool dude with a droopy moustache. Tongue
 
 
What?

Wow! That's a very interesting description of me, specially taking account how I "evolved", I feel nostalgia of my early days as a completely newcommer, purely innocent of any mistake I committedWink

Seriously, Dean, thank you for that reflection of me of my "past", glad to remember it!Smile

I think you need to develop some original artwork of yourself for your avatar, maybe even fuse those three together somehow...

Mine was done with Corel Photopaint.  I started with a cartoon image that came with an American Greetings software program and altered it to resemble myself.  The hair and beard are "cloned" from an actual picture of of me.

Damn dude-

This makes me remember how Mike had that Grace Under Pressure avatar, and David had Akerfeldt, and how Raff I think had a damned cat or something (or did I just dream that?)...

I'd almost forgotten about your Meddle cover though. Confused

I think avatars are things that grow on you over time.  When someone changes their avatar, I also tear my clothes and sit in sackcloth and ashes and all that...it's a traumatic experience.

I will always be Skeletor.

Ah, man you hit the nail in the head with that observation! And yes, Raff had a cat as a avatar, you were not drunkWink

I mean, then, when you see a real picture from the guy with that "mask"(faced-avatar), you get in some real shock, and it's really unbelievable for me sometimes. When I saw you, I really wouldn't have imagined you liek that at all, mainly because of your dark-shaded avatar, of course my mind might take "too serious" avatars that really thinks you're skeletor, lolEmbarrassed

Also, as I get older, my avatar will start getting younger.

I'm kind of getting a vision of the combo avatar though.
Start with your latest one, tack on the guitar one at the bottom and fill in the guy's white face with some kind of pattern of the first one. Big smile
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I prefer the middle one because that's the first one I was introduced to. It's going to be weird as people change their avatars over time. A few ones that come to mind are you, Raff, Crimhead, Crimson87, and Negoba. Even though I've only been here a few months, these changes already frighten me.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

Glad I'm not the only one with mind problems when someone changes their "representative" avatar.

Also, glad you liked the Ashra avatar, I really liked it too, also love the album, you should check it out, if you haven't heard anything from Krautrock, yet.

I'm actually going to make a dry run at it for you.  Combining the last two are easy enough.  Doing the final bit will take a little more time.  Give me a few minutes, this will be fun. LOL

I listened to the debut from Neu! and was bored out of my skull for most of the album. Krautrock is close to the bottom of things I'd like to explore further.

Nope, just an overweight father figure who watched too many eighties cartoons.  Big smile

I've always gone for avatars that just show my eyes (or to be more accurate, just one of them), this was my previous:
but I thought it looked too menacing and was perhaps scaring people off, so I changed it to my current one.
