Title: Story behind your profile pic.
Post by: Chatter on December 11, 2016, 11:26:41 am
After BlazE making the topic of story behind your username, I felt inspired to make this topic. So lets discuss!

My pic: Shirtless Arvo

Arvo is a mate in my online friends group, we're just some random teens on the internet as you'd find anywhere. I don't remember why or how it happened, but once in a Skype call with about 5 of us, he took off his shirt. I took this screenshot and saved it for the lulz.

When I started making this account I just made it to ask some questions, so I didn't bother with a serious profile pic. I ended up using the forums way more though, because I like it a lot. Now this pic kinda stuck with me.

If you wanted to see a real pic of me or so, you can find one in the real life pics thread.

Time to hear some others!

I was trying to draw a 3D pic, but fucked up on the ear and decided to make it 2D, and got that. (The nose is the fucked up ear.)

I was obsessed with the possibility of mods + the Rockstar Editor in GTA V, but my computer is a current model 400 dollar laptop with Intel Bay-Trail graphics, so until I get help from my friend who got the game running better in 4k than vanilla at 1080p, I can't run the game.  But I spent forever on the mod-site, and got thinking "why aren't there any lore-friendly shirt mods?"  So I thought "What would Rockstar Games be in their own game?" (GTA takes place in a parody where California is San Andreas, Compton is Davis, and the FBI is the FIB.)  So I downloaded Inkscape and converted their logo into a vector graphic, and it started as Celebrity Entertainment, but that sounded stupid, so I looked at the spotlight and thought "Spotlight Games sounds a LOT cooler."  So I replaced my C with an S and now it's Spotlight Games.

Y'know, you should have a nickname that is not "Death", just saying! e_e

And i know that pic is recently installed! Question, when was it made? :T



Since i often change profile pics, here's the ones i remember so far. Not in any specific order.

(https://s20.postimg.org/9j95z6kql/Confused_V2_Cropped.png)
So after leaving Drawception, i felt like i still needed to draw, sketch, etc to please that artistic side of mine, then after finding a head reference on google images, i traced on top of it and draw other details, making this sketch that i was truly proud of.
(http://pre07.deviantart.net/50e9/th/pre/f/2016/087/3/c/3cd7131b125a525f385735cc68d77cd1-d9wrowx.png)

Some time later, i got Paint tool SAI and decided to remake the drawing, i used the same head reference, that's why the chin kinda looks pointy.
After hours drawing, this drawing was born.
(http://pre04.deviantart.net/4876/th/pre/f/2016/087/9/0/902761657f707ec953dbb8148919f796-d9wrowm.png)

I say it's pretty okay but i fucked up in many things, like face proportions, shadows, eye reflections and body proportions, that's because the reference only had a head, no body whatsoever.

(http://orig11.deviantart.net/ebd6/f/2016/087/2/0/normal_transparent_by_shutmeup4000-d9wrrxk.png)
At the times when i was at Drawception, i needed a Christmas pic, i had the concept of the drawing but not the drawing itself so i tried making one.
(http://orig11.deviantart.net/ebd6/f/2016/087/2/0/normal_transparent_by_shutmeup4000-d9wrrxk.png)

It was made on Drawception's ANBT canvas, while it's pretty good for a drawing made with no references, it's pretty flawed.

I also made a few variations of it.
Like halloween.
(http://orig08.deviantart.net/2dc0/f/2016/087/f/3/halloween_transparent_by_shutmeup4000-d9wrrxe.png)

Its name says "v2" cuz original had smaller hand, wider hair and i think no strings in the jacket.

(http://pre09.deviantart.net/c301/th/pre/f/2016/088/7/9/death_stare_v2_by_shutmeup4000-d9wx9kf.png)
After making the confused sketch, i also had one in the head, mainly inspired by ExplodingRabbit's aliceandsven profile pic.
(https://s20.postimg.org/8l0cmw4jh/2016_12_12_06_41_42.jpg)

I decided to make a sort of Death Stare sketch. And so i did it!
(http://orig01.deviantart.net/2775/f/2016/087/a/5/a5fb90a918fb665dd14ea9ae780f884f-d9wrox1.png)

I just loved the face i made on that one.

I decided to remake it but with colors!
(http://pre09.deviantart.net/c301/th/pre/f/2016/088/7/9/death_stare_v2_by_shutmeup4000-d9wx9kf.png)

I say it's great but still flawed, while i didn't have it as a profile pic for long, i still had it so it counts.

(http://i.imgur.com/67DZB5p.png)
When i was in Drawception, there was a thread called "Draw the avatar above as a video game character", after i drew mine and ninja'ing (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ninja'd) somebody, an user called Sikroth drew the last two avatars, mine turned out to be an old Fire Emblem style portrait, as seen in the screenshot below.
(https://s20.postimg.org/xi3q3st19/2016_12_12_12_16_47.jpg)

After leaving drawception, i was one day lurking for nostalgic purposes and remembered that greatly made portrait so i changed my Drawception profile pic.
I know, i left just the forums but im sort of active on the site itself. I say "left the site" mainly because i don't play there not even as close to often as i used to, so it's like i left. Im just starting games for the rookies and for my amusement.

Like a week later, i decided to change my thpsX profile pic, it will most likely stay as it is until i draw one on a PC.

(https://s20.postimg.org/umj1vb3i5/Pics_Art_11_18_07_09_32.png)
So i was bored one day and decided to make a drawing on PicsArt...

Bad idea, with mouse you can at least draw decently, you really can't do it on a phone without a stylus. There is no precision on phone, when you need to draw on a spot, you could be drawing anywhere around said spot plus the finger covers the screen, that's no good. Im honestly stating that this drawing isn't that great, but a profile pic is a profile pic, at least i kinda learned how to draw eyes in a somewhat chibi style with that drawing.

While i got no variety on the character of each profile pic like Skater1014 does with the Depressed Plumber, Sims 4 avatar and Royrio/Wariowser, each profile pic has a story, like the names and signatures do.

My nickname is Chad Morgan.  I play as that nowadays.  And by "replaced my C with an S" I meant on the graphic I made.  That pic?  I made it this summer.  That's when it was made.

I also like it, it even has the red symbol on the face for the anger, even tho it's not perfect, i can say i will probably make it even better later. 😄

Well, i was kidding! Tho i admit your profile pic looks awesome, wish i made a logo but my brain is just empty of ideas for one. :P

Also, nice to know your in-game name is Chad Morgan now, it doesn't sound as edgy like "Death" does! e_e
Was it roleplay? ._.?

Super easy, my first one was of my original avatar (which was meant to be me back when I had brown hair, key word here is was).

Current one looks a bit more like actual me (cept I've had a haircut since then).
