Opinions on a new Avatar!

[LordoftheRings]

Someone just asked me to change my avatar because it's freaking him out!

Sooooooo, what do you guys & girls think of these?

#1. This one?


#2. Or this one?


* As you can see, I'm very much oriented unto the Theater scene, as a true ACT, or Master ART! {As in AWE!}

#3. My original avatar (who freaked out someone)! ...The mystic lady with her two hands holding her face.

#4. Or the one here in that attachment? [At the bottom of my post.] ...A younger person applying lipstick.

~ Also, can someone tell me how do I make my avatar just a little bit larger? ...Like by one centimeter.
...Nevermind, it's fine.

Than you very much for your time and suggestion!
Bob

I like the one you have now personally.

[,deeii]

Your current one is pretty cool. But I haven't seen your previous one!

<- Here it is, my previous one (the one I had the longest). ...And perhaps I should keep it too?
==> {Actually now, it is in the attachment of my #12 post.}

* And this one here below, in that attachment, who curse said that he 'likes' most,
and that yourself found 'pretty cool'.

[curse]

yeah I like the lipstick one.

Like putting on a mask and being somebody else. It's what I think acting is anyways.

You know what? You're quite right! ...I like it too, and I like you!
...But I'm me though, Bob!

Furthermore, The TRUE ESSENCE of LIFE is an ART in itself; it requires that you MASTER the ACT of Living in the CRAFTING of inspiring AWE!

__________

Now I need ,deeii's final opinion, and the ones of few more members with your kind of taste!
{The one with the lipstick is very serene, peaceful; the one with the flower on the hat is of Marcel Marceau,
the most famous mime ever to have lived on the surface of this planet called Earth!}
...The Black & White picture, the first one, is also of Marcel Marceau.
Guess who's in the attachment (with the lipstick)?

~ And don't ask who's in my original avatar, it is t-o-t-a-l-l-y confidential!

[curse]

so what's the verdict? Keeping the original?

[Al_The_Strange]

I like the original.

If anything, the other ones freak me out more.

[LeAnn]

I agree with Al...

[PrivatePixel]

I like the current one as well, but the attached image works too:

So, the one with the face between the two hands? ...Side ways, not up and down.
* Well All, you know my original avatar, so no mistake here.

Same for you Ann? ...Would you like I give you a demonstration of the one in the attachment? I think it looks cool too.

EDIT: Maybe not! ...But do let me know about the one I'm wearing right now, please?

I did try it before and it does look good too.

* Ok, I know what I'm gong to do; I will wear that one with the lipstick for one day, and see people' reactions. So I will know.

** I also luv Marcel Marceau, and that one of his with the hat and the red flower is very deep to me (this guy was a true genius).
- I did try it before, but the picture in a smaller format was not giving him justice.
You also have to realise that it is a later picture of Marcel, so he is much older and the effect is more dramatic than his earlier years.

Anyway, I do appreciate very much you guys helping me out in choosing the avatar that suits me best.

EDIT: I don't like the one with the lipstick (in the attachment)! ...It just ain't me at all! ...Too young!
- And the first picture from my first post is way too dramatic (Marcel in backstage),
and could be interpreted wrongly by some sensitive members.

So now I only got two choices left; my original avatar (the mystic one), or the one with Marcel Marceau in color (with his hat & red flower).
* If you don't know the guy, just Google him and check it out at Wikipedia.

RIP Marcel Marceau: Short Video Retrospective

I truly need more help! ...And I'm gong to start first by wearing that newer avatar for today.
And I'll see how people react to it. ...I certainly don't wanna scare no one (freak them out)!

REEDIT: Well folks, my original avatar I like very much, no doubt about it (don't see anythin' freakish about it)!
But now that I'm just checking this new one of Marcel Marceau, I'm already starting to like it!
Let me know what da ya think yourselves. (Me think it suits me well! ) ...But other critics are sometimes the best judges...

* My original one below (attachment):

[LordoftheRings]

So far:

* Original avatar (#3) = 3 votes

* Lipstick one (#4) = 2 votes

* The one I'm wearing right now (#2) = 0 vote (At least it gets my own personal vote = 1 )

* The first picture of my first post (#1) = 0 vote

__________________________

I need at least a thousand votes to declare a winner! I mean 1,000 for one single selection!
Soooo, my original avatar needs another 997 votes to win.

Nahhhhh, jk, lesse 21 total votes in one selection to make it a winner. Ya that's more like it!

[Johnny Vinyl]

I vote for #2 Bob!

Yep.

The one you got now, with the hat and flower, is actually not bad as an avatar. The bigger picture had a more defined expression that made him look a little freaked-out, but as an avatar he looks kinda surprised or something (which is cool).

I'd still give the original the edge, but both look suitable. I'd say, pick which ever one makes you feel good (unless you get some horrid feedback).

As a photographer, I really like the lipstick one (#4 in your original post).

I like the composition and the emotion that it emotes.

Thanks John for your input!

* The "Lipstick" one is very peaceful, and it is also the face of a younger person.

I am very very very peaceful myself , but not so young, physically! ...At heart, of course I am!

*** John, or do you mean #2 from my original first post?
Ah! I bet you prefer Marcel Marceau at his best (the Art of miming)! ...With his hat and red flower.

Excellent observation! ...I noticed the exact same thing as well!
...And after more analysis I realized that it suits me quite well.
...Furthermore it adds a touch of surprise to my replies of the member's posts;
which is often very interesting!

I still LOVE very much so my original avatar; it is also from the Theater's influence. And it took me a very long time among thousands of other avatars before I chose it! Believe me, it was a long and deep analysis in choosing it!

* I am getting the hang of my new one. I only wear it since yesterday, but today after login' in, it does not have any diminishing 'luv power' into it!

*** But I value so much the member's opinions from this excellent site!
And all of you people are my inspiration to better myself EVERY SINGLE DAY!
And you guys are real true troubadours!

Al, it is ESSENTIAL to feel good about yourself, but it is also extremely important that your brothers and sisters help at constructing that feeling by expressing their own satisfaction towards you! So, for me, you are as much important and equal as to my own perception about myself. And even more so on the Internet! ...That is if you are true to yourself of course, and to which I am, and ALWAYS work my best at improving the real Bob in me!

Man! You just make life more difficult!

* I totally relate to your photographic eye! ...But my original avatar, as well the one I'm wearing right now, have a powerful 'photogeneity' about them as well.

~ I was in ART school, and I studied Photography, and Cinema as well (Cinema history). I was top of my classes on these subjects (Painting, Art critic, Sculpture, Graphic & 3D Design, Philosophy, and French grammary).
I was also excelling in Theater (acting), Oration (excellent at memorizing & articulation), and I did a lot of jobs relating directly to the Theater and Cinema projection. And I met some of the nicest and sweetest people from all over the world. ...Artists, Actors & Actresses, Musicians, Singers & Songwriters, Poets, Performers of all type & trades...
I never met Marcel Marceau though, but I luv the MIME!

[LordoftheRings]

I was wondering (because it gets confusing a bit); is it possible to have the "Voting Poll" at the top of this thread, you know like some threads have?

* Nevermind! I much prefer people's commentaries than a "Voting Poll" or type of "Rating System"!
