Why do my avatars suck?

[Recess]

Hey peeps,

My avatar looks terrible.

Yes, half the problem is that it's me in it, but I've no idea why it looks so nasty. The shot I've linked to is http://www.djrecess.co.uk/forumimages/recess_real.jpg

And I'll try linking to it below:

Anyone know why it's gone so bad?

Your trying to post them too big I think and the forum is trying to reduce them. I will sort them both for you.

[Stemmy]

Ok all done !!!

[Bindii]

Ok all done !!!

Thats much better...

*sigh*

You did it for me right?

[Recess]

Thanks very much Stemmy, I did wonder if it was too big, but when I saw other people's large Avatar's, I wondered why it didn't like mine.

And Bindii... "How you doin'".... (In a Joey from Friends styleee).

I've got a picture that could end any flirting stakes, but I'm willing to take the chance.

This is me, thirteen years ago, in my Van Halen/Bon Jovi loving days.

Lol...13 years ago huh?

We would have made a good pair....

god don't you look back sometimes and say.."whatever was i thinking?".. *groan*

[Recess]

We would have made a good pair....

Nah, think of the hole we would have made in the Ozone layer with all the hairspray and 'product' we'd have gone through.

Nice smile though!

Lmao...I think I may be personally responsible for half of that hole after all the products I used then...

well it is easier to smile than it is to frown! :)

What ever happened to your old atavar, the one with you standing shouting??? I always thought you looked a bit like Tom Waits in that, but the younger you reminds me of Nick Cave. (As a DJ I hope I haven't offended you with either comparison)

[Recess]

Hmmm, I'll take both options with a pinch of salt :-) If I could sing like 'em, that'd be ok - however, this is why I play other people's music, and don't make it myself, and why I was a drummer rather than a musician...

The original avatar was actually me standing at the Loch Ness visitor's centre, with Nessie behind me - and it was my 'scared' face.

But, being the appearance conscious person that I am, I decided a shot that didn't make me look quite as much of an idiot was better.

That said, my original post seems to be relevant again, as I've gone all black and white again. Should I just lower the size or something to make it full colour?
