Pyrotex Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 My avatar was produced (rather accidently) by my JAVA application which explores the Mandelbrot Set, a mathematical structure of infinite complexity and beauty. The black "thingie" I call a "Mandelblot". It appears to be standing, and is surrounded by a blue aura. To me, it represents the quartering of the universe into active and passive principals. No, just kidding. :shrug: I just like the way it looks. Quote

And if you thought Pyrotex was just some dweeb, check out his Fractals!I remember vividly clicking onto his program... http://hypography.com/forums/physics-mathematics/5625-fractal-geometry-nature-2.html scroll down a bit, check out his zip attach.. plus those of BigDog and crew. :eek2: Great work once again P-tex. :) blast from the recent past,Rac Quote
Jules Grimm Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 Mine's just a drawn representation of what i hope i look like on my good days. The basic features are the same - i do have blue eyes, really pale skin and red hair and i do wear glasses - they just look a little better in the pic than in real life... Pyrotex 1 Quote
InfiniteNow Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Wait...I didn't realize this was Hypodating.com... :) Perhaps this should be put in the Hv2 ideas thread? :singer: Quote
Mercedes Benzene Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 :Bump2:It's been 2 years, we have many new members, and many more older members who have changed their avatars. Mine is a representation of my user name. Mercedes Benzene is a pun between my favorite aromatic hydrocarbon benzene (showing my love for chemistry), and my favorite deutscher Autohersteller, Mercedes-Benz.The avatar itself is, if you will, a visual pun. It's a benzene ring structure with the Mercedes logo as the delocalized bond representation. Quote

Moontanman Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 My avatar is a stomatopod, a creature with astounding vision, just like me :Bump2: Quote
Pyrotex Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 I tried a number of avatars when I first became a member here. but at some point we had a thread about the Mandelbrot Set. Here are a few images from the Mandelbrot space. As it happens, I had written a program in PERL to display the Mandelbrot space and explore it, and I had saved a few images, and it occurred to me to crop one of them and use it as an avatar.It's been with me ever since.Hmmm...maybe I should produce a bigger one.

TheBigDog Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 My current one is a picture of me from a party around 1987. I always brought a 12 pack of Yoohoo with me. One of my buddies doctroed this piture up to make it look like an ad. Bill WOW!!! I had so much hair that some of it was out of place. I retrospect I think that stray lock was checking to see how far the fall was. Quote
arkain101 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 I made it. I liked it. I used it. I was messing around on adobe photoshop and made some interesting graphics that can be viewed in the album I started right here on our very own hypography. I have a pretty good nac for this sort of thing and I am willing to make custom avatars if anyone is interested. In fact, I could always use an idea for a graphic project, so if anyone wants some kind of a custom sig, av, or whatever, I'll be glad to give it a shot. Quote
Jay-qu Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 After more than 3 years I have now changed my avatar :) I feel like people wont recognise me now..

freeztar Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 My current one is a picture of me from a party around 1987. I always brought a 12 pack of Yoohoo with me. Did you always attend BYOY parties Mr. Party Man? :) My avatar is depicting a glowing orb of gas that is very, very, very far away. It's a crop from a Nasa photo showing a far away galaxy. New avatar coming soon... (arkain, wanna help?) Quote
