Should I use this avatar?

It's got my actual face, or should I keep going with God?

But then you can't see his glowy eyes of doom.

Meh, when I tried to use my face as avatar people accused me of being in an ego trip (which incidentally I was). So, shame on you and stick with God.

They can glow through the shades.

Of all the people on this board, HDS, I think you can pull off using your own face as an avatar.

Whilst we are on the subject, I've made an alternate signature banner, I think I'll be using it on SA and keep my original one here though, anyway, this is only a rough idea of what I've got:

Use the picture of yourself. You've got a nice Agent of the System/Resevoir Dogs thing going in it.

Use your face, HDS. One recommendation: Tone down that glare just to the right of your face quite severely. If possible, try a subtraction gradient on it starting right on the edge if your face and getting darker as it goes to the right.

Cool. You look like a Matrix agent.

Hey HDS, you could use my face, and it would still be God! :lol:

Nah. The reflection looks sweet. Although yeah, an added light source or gradient would be good.

Weird, I use my own pic as an avatar all the time, and nobody really says a word. Maybe they expect it from me or something.

Anywho, HDS' current avatar is great, so there's no rush to change it just yet.

Go with God, HDS; go with God. :P

You're one of the last people I'd expect to say that.

The glint off his face looks great, but not that glare from the window that's causing it. I told him to dim the window, not the glint off his face :)

Make your face have glowy eyes!

I second that suggestion!!

I overrule that suggestion and then I sentence both of you to the gallows for exhibiting democracy like behaviour.

EDIT:
New version, tried making it darker on the right:

Frank, care to clarify which God you look like? I'll just assume you look like the Indian God Ganesha until you do.

A Red X? I figured that. God was 404 ever since right after his son floated up into the sky two thousand years ago!

Red X? I see no red x, just me, in a state of undress, aroused. Sorry about your luck, Einy. :D
