It is me in real life as close as possible without using a photograph.
I have had a rather virulent internet stalker since 2004 so it is bloody good that I never put a picture of myself on the net. I thank my lucky stars every time I log on about that.
That being said, this avatar is my Second Life avatar. I spent a lot of time and money making it look bloody like me in real life. I am a vain bastard so, while I will not allow photographs of me on the net, I want my avatar to be as close to a picture as possible.
I went through I have NO clue how many bloody expensive skins before finding this one (I am currently looking for someone to do a custom skin to get it exact) My wife “built” (making things in SL) my eyes while looking at the originals and a scar I have on my cheek from running willy nilly into a bramble bush as a lad (I was chasing a critter). My nose even has the bump and slight turn from where I broke it (that took a lot of masterful manipulation courtesy of my wife. Anyone from SL can guess how hard that was to do)
So, basically, this avatar is as close to me in real life as I could possibly make it. I got it pretty close. I am still looking for hair with a few whites coming in at the temples, a custom skin as I said, and thinking of asking my wife to make the pox scar that I have over my eyebrow.
Yes, I am a bit anal.
