Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
(note: i dont know if there was a thread about this already, so mods close it immediately if it was)
Or do you pick an avatar that describes your org name?
i clearly do not look like my url avatar. who owns a xystas, hoplon, cape, and corinthian helmet? (if you do please send it to me) here's my avatar:
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/image...eneral_148.gif
sad to say i dont look like it. i choose it to describe my org name.
imagine a kinda dark tan skin, hair brushed back (no bangs) (no facial hair) that would be me. and what about you????

Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
I like mine. It is a reasonable facsimily of what I look like...which some may argue isn't necessarily a good thing.
-
Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
I don't know let me see.
Nope not even close.

Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
I do in the fact that I have brown hair and the same head shape, but I'll go the way of the Spartan and just describe myself: Brown curly hair, dark skin, one of those beards that is only around the chin and mouth (what is that in english?) dark brown eyes, deep set eyes that always look like I am sleep-deprived, and a scar under my nose that I got from a run in with a bunch of curious goats.
-
Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
Yes, it does... it's kinda eerie, really, because I mostly chose this avatar to fit my love of MTW. I went with the one I did on a gut instinct, something that said, "that's me." Little did I know it really was me! :uhoh:
Edit: actually, the hairdo doesn't quite fit (although it is the right length, approxamately), and the beard is growing on the cheeks, whereas mine is still coming in, but other than that, that's me.

Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
I picked the avatar that looked most like me. No coincidence there.
Almost the same pose (for comparison's sake):

Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
I picked the most-resembling one that I could find. I also believe that, had I been born in the Middle Ages, I would have been one of those tight-assed, severe and grim-faced erm.... scholars.
like, ya' know, that friendly Torquemada dude...:skull:

You can find me in the family photos thread. Yes, I look like my avatar.

We know. ~D "Drive safely or else!" :2thumbsup:

Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
Nothing like it, not at all.
The Mongols look most like me.
This one's because of the PBM, obviously.
-
Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
Not at all, I chose my avatar, because nobody had it, back in the old school days, you had to have either 100 or 500 posts before you could pick your own avatar and give yourself a title. As soon as I could, to distinguish myself from other members I picked an avatar that nobody else had and to this day I still haven't seen another member with my avatar.
-
Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
Well, if I get the same equipment and grow some facial hair (not that hard, got good growth there) then I would resemble my avatar quite a bit. :laugh4:
-
Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
I look exactly like my avatar.
-
Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
It's a very close resemblance ... and I chose it for that, pretty much.
There are some minor differences, as in, less pronounced cheek-bones.
-
Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
No, not at all. Don't remember why I chose it. Probably because it had some Roman dude in it.

Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
Yes, and as Eclectic said; you find my picture in the family photos thread.
All though nowadays I have short hair and no beard. Thinking of it I don't have a beard in the family photo thread either... I used to have a full beard with my long hair. And before anyone asks why a Navy man had long hair... It was an experiment after I was released from the Navy. A sort of 25th year crisis.

Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
No. First, I'm young, not like this guy to the left of this post. Second, I'm Southeast Asian, which means the Islamic warlord that represents me here would have those who know me in real life go down laughing their heads off. Third, I don't have a beard. Fourth, I don't remember going to any kinds of Poitiers- or Hattin-reenactment, so I never wore the armor this guy wears.
I just chose it out of random after I got bored with the old Greek guy. I imagine it must've given people an impression that is very different from the content of my posts. Though indeed I find the dark silvery tone quite oppressively appealing. I used to try out the cool custom avatars for a while but since 90-95% of people have the same default Medieval Knight avatar (because nobody actually use the new function ~:( ) I got tired and confused of it all and revert back to the smaller avatars. For that system to truly work I guess it has to be combined into one avatar per member, though two parallel systems to use.

Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
I look exactly like my non-existing avatar. :2thumbsup:
Sigurd, on what page is your avatar? Because I loved it the first time I have seen it, but I couldn't find it. :embarassed:
-
Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
Hmm, I do a bit, though my beard is more goatee than full face. I chose the avatar when I changed my user-name, and took this one because it had the right sort of quizzical frown - and it looked a bit like me.
I liked my old Haruchai avatar a lot, with the Mongol banner in the background. Didn't look anything like me. It seems like most people liked my old user name too, as they keep referring to it!

Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
No, although i wish i did own a legionaires uniform...i might get some goddamn respect then!

Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
I guess if I wrap a red scarf around my head/face (or wear a red samurai armor in the case of my custom avatar) I would somehow look like my avatar ... but I rarely do that as people tend to give me funny looks then (sometimes they do so anyway ... but perhaps I am just imagining that)

Hey E, it's more fun when you open your favorite image editing program and scale a picture to the same size and proportion as your avatar. Takes all of thirty seconds, and it makes the comparison more visceral.

I have the URL avatars displayed and I don't see the knights. Those people who don't have a URL avatar show as their normal (.org) avatars, although they are enlarged to double size.

Yeah, but I don't have a helmet like that...
I choose this one because besides looking like me, the shirt (or whatever it is) he is wearing looks like a Red Wings away jersey... :2thumbsup:

It is a bug - sometimes when an admin posts in a thread and edits his post, he suddenly is listed as the thread starter.
Somewhat annoying (believe me for some Backroom threads I'd rather not be listed as the thread starter) but we haven't found a solution yet...

I think it was a cool idea, so no.
Thankfully, I don't have any profile shots though, to match my avatar ~D

It comes with the job, all the mods have an assassin avatar.
To distinguish them from the other organites I guess.

Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
Thanks for pointing that out - I made some changes.
Is it working better now?
Explaination:
The first pic is the original unaltered photo of myself (Mrs Clegane was so kind to lend me a scarf and to take the picture - of course she has some doubts regarding my mental stability now).
The subsequent pics represent different steps of modifying the original photo (the last one is obviously my R:TW avatar)

Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
Yes, now that you mention it, I would say that am a spitting image of my avatar, minus the scratchy beard.

And I was wondering why you describe yourself as a Narcissist, just kidding. Sadly, I may be about the same tier of ugliness as the portrait to my right. I am one of the reasons people say cross-nationalities/races are a bad thing.

Pfffft, I don't buy that. And people don't say that crap, anyway - if anything, they say the opposite. Why ? Because famous people tend to be beautiful people, and there's lots of famous cross-bred (?) fashion models and actresses and such. So, no.
And, as gay that might sound, I don't believe you're just plain ugly. You might, though, have crappy low self-esteem like me :2thumbsup:
So, cheer up, mate, and remember anyway: men are not supposed to be "pretty" (well, manly men are not anyway ~:joker:)

Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
I don't have to be good looking anymore. I'm married.

Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
It's never certain, mate - I was, too, and now I'm getting a divorce - or, to be honest, she is, but it kinda forces my hand, too ~;p

Re: Do You Look Like Your Avatar?
I really don't want to think about that right now. You see, I have only been married for a week.

Nope, though sometimes when I didn't get a good sleep I feel like I do.
