Alright here we are boys and girls, the great defender ColdKnight:



Yes, I'm the one with the 18 on their jersey.
Then the other one is me looking just plain cool.

Here's a pic with my new favorite actress. She's from Quebec and her name is Pascale Bussières.

What I did was I extruded, embosed and altered some parts and placed in a new lighting.

[Don Corleone]

I think I promised some photos of the dogs at one point. First up, Chewbaca. We've had him the longest (my wife has had him around longer than me). Notice my Adidas's right next to him. While normally a wonderful dog, "Chewie" has a thing for shoes and he lived up to his name shortly after this photograph was taken.



Next up, is Lucy, aka Miracle Dog. This is the one who disappeared for 2 weeks during an icestorm this winter. When we found her, she had lost 30% of her body weight. She's fine now though...

defender too Coldnight, I have been a defender ( left side ) for the last 6 years or so, last year however I gave it up for mid-fielder


@ Don Corleone :

I wonder though what kind of breed is that dog ?
and don't worry the shoe thing is normal, my dog does it too

[Don Corleone]

They're both mutts. Lucy is border collie/Lab mix. We're not quite sure what Chewie is. When I first met him, I said he looked like a very well fed dingo (which granted, he doesn't in that picture).

[Ser Clegane]

Hehe, Chewie reminds me of the dog of some friends we visited in Brisbane last year (especially considering the "well fed dingo" comment ).

Perhaps I can dig out a pic when I get home...

[edyzmedieval]

Wow...interesting faces.....

BTW, cute dogs...

I gotta say midfielder is the best; that`s what I was when I played football

I quitted for two years ago; damn, my team lost all the time!

It was the trainings that were boring though.

[Byzantine Prince]

Well since it wasn't welcome in the backroom, here's my latest escapade in the photoshop learning process. This is a picture of me at the airport being bored. Notice the flicker of the eye? That's what I call prescious.

[Don Corleone]

Okay, one of me. This is from when my wife & I went to Manhatten on our honeymoon, Jan 2003. I'm a Taurus, and as you can tell from some of my posts in the backroom, a little on the pushy side at times. But in a good way. Anyway, when I start getting a little stubborn or agitated, my wife puts her fingers up like horns and starts stomping her foot like a hoof. We were walking down Wall Street one morning, and she almost fell over laughing when she saw the bull.

In case you're having trouble telling, I'm the one on the right. I look essentially the same right now, except it's summer, so I've shaved my beard off, and as I got tired of the stray hairs popping up as I was going bald, I keep my hair cropped pretty short now, and I'm just about bald on top (instead of 1/2 way as in this photo).

[Ser Clegane]

Hey - you actually look like your avatar (at least on that picture - according to your description, the similarity ceased to exist along several dimensions )

[Don Corleone]

When I selected my avatar, I actually looked like it. As my forehead has turned into a 5-head, and then some, yeah, I probably should go avatar shopping again. The beard will come back this Fall, so I'm keeping that. Wifey is already on my ass about it. Guess my naked face is pretty ugly.

[Gregoshi]

Don, you look like Randy Quaid!

[Don Corleone]

Him or Jim Belushi (when I don't have the beard). I get both a lot.

[PanzerJaeger]

Are you imagining a socialist paradise?


John Lennon!!

[IrishMike]

Now Panzer there is nothing wrong with John Lennon. Admit it, you know deep down you think he is a great man.

[PanzerJaeger]

Hehe, i like his music. I even found myself singing along with Imagine the other day in the car and almost crashed.

Tell me you dont see the resemblence.

[IrishMike]

John Lennon didn't die! He lives on as BP.

[PanzerJaeger]

Me a while ago..



I really need a digital camera or something..

Great, man left side is hard. Thats the side that you get all the "great strikers" on. Always hated wing, much more of a center man myself. Strategic Command I guess.

And Panzer from that pic I would have thought you would have been a liberal, instead of your conservative self. Don't look conservative at all.

[PanzerJaeger]

Heh.. my hair is much longer now.. its more due to lazyness than a political statement though.

[Kraellin]

Only is I can rule with the flicker of mein eyes.

thanks BP. good stuff :)
I have more good stuff in the works.

I'm gonna limit my posts in the tavern though, it's dangerous for me(I'm insane).

[Laridus Konivaich]

i somewhat recognize the filters used there, laridus. nice. is that photoshop, paint shop pro, or something else?

It is Paint Shop Pro (9). *I think* that the effects were: hot wax coating, and then kaleidoscope for the third one, I don't remember exactly what I did to get the other two.

But* the first two were actually modified from one of the pics in the bunny suicides thread that was here a while back...

[edyzmedieval]

BTW,

which is better?!

Adobe Photoshop or Corel Paint Shop Pro?

I really need to find out because I need it for the Byzantium Total War mod.... To create new units....

[GoreBag]

I don't do image hosting, so I'm just gonna post one from my blog. Hotlinking hasn't worked in the past, but it seems to now...

My face doesn't always look like that, but it's my most common expression.

[PanzerJaeger]

Some pretty interesting combat pictures from ww2 in color...

[Gregoshi]

I went to Arizona on holiday last month and I've finally gotten around to prepping some of my pictures for posting. I'll post them in about 3 batches. First up is the Grand Canyon.









In the middle of the left side of the picture below, we catch a glimpse of the elusive Colorado River. Yes, there is a river down there.



The picture below is one of my favourites. I really like the layered effect of the canyon walls as you look off into the distance.



Next is a zoomed-in picture is of a hikers' bridge across the Colorado. This view is looking down one mile (1.7km) to the bridge. It allows hikers from a trail on the South Rim to cross the river near the Phantom Ranch which is the only lodgings available at the bottom of the canyon.



Now for a couple of sunset pictures. In the first picture, note the flattopped, sunlit mesa on the left casts its shadow on the distant canyon wall on the right.






Next batch will be Monument Valley.

[Ser Clegane]

Great pictures, Greg

I love that place

[Beirut]

Wonderful! Gorgeous!

My Lord, we're going to have to annex that part of the US.
