Hey, no need to expose my ample, sexy pink udder like that. Let’s keep things Rated G around here, OK? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I got into faceting gemstones about 7 years ago. Normally for online stuff / video games, etc, in the US, I use a snip of the Great Wave Off Kanagawa, but I expected that to be rather-extra cliche over here.

Shaping the crown

A profile with my first smartphone.

And a more recent pic, better phone, serves as my present avatar:

And a few others:

An actual emerald, though pretty gunky[occluded]

my latest, finishing the crown. Used sharpie to mark facets that needed work, the point being as you do, you don’t retouch the wrong facet.

I need to get back into this sooner than later.

Isn’t this just perpetuating stereotypes about Westerners and their large wieners? :thinking:

Mine used to be a Urodacus scorpion, because, well… you know.

Now it’s an Ace of Spades, because Motorhead songs rock. One of my karaoke favourites!

Killed by Death works too, and I do a pretty mean Thunderstruck (AC/DC).

Japanese karaoke menus are so much better than in Taiwan, BTW…

When it was trendy to change the avatar to Snoopy, I decided to replace the photo of my cat to a typing snoopy. I couldn’t find a decent colored image, so I found an black and white one, removed the background and colored it myself using Inkscape.

Mine used to be a triathlon image (a rough sketch of the three disciplines in a triangle design). My knees have deteriorated to the point where running in races is longer an option. So I thought my next big thing would be swimming. I love swimming but I’m not getting into it like I thought I would. I like the idea of having my avatar related to a hobby. Let’s see where my interests lead me. I have a couple of things I’m working on now.

Looks fine to me!

Where do they sell those giant hot dogs? Getting tired of having to buy a dozen at Costco at a time.
