TJ's Projects: Get in touch with your alter ego!

Hey everyone!

How are you doing? Enjoying the weather so far?

Today I shall tell you about a project that I've done a while ago. Whenever it's possible I shall tell you bits and pieces of the things that I'm doing. Sometimes I can only tell you more when the project is finished as things need to be kept a secret ;). For this project I collaborated with Blogcatalog and created a bunch of avatars for you to choose from when you create an account. I personally like it when you have different types of avatars to choose from, especially since I often wander around my imaginative world and pretend to be a superhero hehe. So if I can switch things up when I want, I am happy.

Here are the currently available avatars:


Let me just tell you, I could have created a whole lot more! You can easily choose a personality that suits you. I added some snapshots for you to see, plus a few avatars in a bigger size. I hope you like them as much as I do.

 

I figured circling them with red circles or squares worked better...hehe. It is funny to see them pop up on the forum! Sorry for the blurriness of the screen shots though. Here are a few of them in a larger size! I hope you clicked to enlarge the images.


Ooh so curious what you think of them as well! It was a fun opportunity. So a huge - Thank You - to Blogcatalog! Also it is possible to commission me if you want to have yourself turned into an avatar! You can email at tjlubrano@live.com. You can also use this email if you want to commission me for other illustrations or want to know the prices. I will add an estimate of prices on my blog soon, so you have an idea what I charge. However, it's always fun to receive email from you guys ;).

And lastly, I have my first Facebook Giveaway! I passed the 100 likes. Thanks to everyone who joined! If you want to join, you have to leave a comment on the note on my page. If you comment here, it doesn’t count ;).

Till next time everyone & Remember to Smile!

Ciao!

    I knew the BC avatars are your masterpieces. I can add my own avatar you had drown for me before. But i would prefer a crazy scientist avatar if it would be available.

    Good job TJ.
    Cheers

    Yay! They look so good! It makes all other avatars look rubbish! Just love the fact that you are mixing physical art mix happily with the digital, so you get the best of both worlds!

    I think that if you are not using a decent photographic headshot as an avatar, then a cartoon one, that really reflects your personality is definitely the way to go.

    Hmmmm, what do I think? I think it makes me actually want to log in to my blog catalog account so I can pick a pretty avatar! I don't remember if I ever logged in there after my first one or two times because I was getting better traffic results elsewhere. :)

    Yay! Thanks so much everyone!!

    @ Claire: I completely agree! Some people really don't want to show their true face, so a cool avatar works perfect :)The digital world is still pretty unknown, but the little things really help to enhance an image :D

    @ Rachel: Now that's awesome to hear :D! Thank you!

    What fun illustrations! Right now, I have my photo as my avatar, but it's fun thinking which one I would choose! Let's see...maybe the one with her nose in a book! Or the baker...or the one with two kittens (which I have right now)...so many cute choices!

    Blessings,
    Dianne
