Hi Everyone,

So I wanted to ask your opinion, I have put up a new avatar pic, its a real photo that has been made over on taaz.com and then morphed to the style of Alphonse Mucha on http://morph.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Transformer/ (http://morph.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Transformer/) (for anominity, plus it lmakes my nose smaller,  Lol!)

Not sure if I;ll leave it this way, but I'd love to know what your thoughts are.

Hugs,

Tali

It looks as though it's an oil painting, very eye catching.  Have you tried that technique with other pictures?

Thanks everyone for your warm responses, I'm going to leave it for now...I love it too!
I'm haven't tried any other photos yet, though I did warp the original in heaps of different styles,
I might re-do it later, the only photo I had was of me everyday, so no smiles, this has inspired me to take a happy photo and start from there.

Once again, I want to thank everyone for your kind words, you've really made my day!

Love

Tali

BTW, Kelly, yours looks great too, love it

Thanks everyone...
just thought I'd add, you can also age yourself, feminise, masculinise, change race and even see yourself as a manga cartoon!

Its great fun

Tali

That's awesome!

And I love the "masculinese" one...it makes me look super sexy except for the ears.

Wow, you all look so great, I can't believe I'm a trend setter!
I'm going to start taking more pictures so I can experiment.

Once again, thankyou all for your support and kind words, this has been a really big step for me, and now that I have done it, I feel great.

Love,

Tali

I think they look great. It takes just enough out of the picture that it's not an actual image of yourself, but leaves enough there that it's still a good looking rendition of who you are in real life. I think it's a fantastic way to present yourself if you're not comfortable with using an actual image of yourself as your avatar.

I really like how Janet's turned out (not saying the others aren't good).
