Here's my contribution. 
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/51934543/Sunflower_BD.pptx

I can't draw AT ALL, and it turns out I can't even sign my name legibly with the "draw freehand" tools in Microsoft Office (my only graphics-type tools).  So what I did was make WordArt of my forum monicker, and fill it with the colors from a photo I took of my neighborhood.  That's about as personal an image as I can muster.

Lars, if you can't use this image as a PowerPoint slide, let me know and I can save it to a different format.

Thanks for arranging all our images into the card display!  It seems like the perfect birthday gift for such a gifted artist!

Question... will you be planing to put names under the portraits?

Or maybe a diagram underneath, like the ones in boxes of chocolates explaining the flavors?

(Hoverable labels, like here, might be a bit much to expect poor LarsB to do...)

So about the name thing... it would be our usernames and not our real names?

Try this.  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/51934543/Sunflower_Birthday.jpg

As a JPG, it came out with a very small file size, which may make it look tacky.  If some other format/size would work better, please let me know.  Thanks again!

soo... my attempt at a digital self portrait was a failure :-\ should I:
- try again, as a pencil/pen sketch only?
- make a better cut of Sailor Emil? (lineart is by TrinkaSten)
- try to find time and paint a blonde Sailor Braidy?
cruel dilemma :-X

u decide... the most important thing is that u tell me that u want to be in the card and point me to a picture

=)

/L

Okay :D



After several years of wearing nothing but black, I walked into a store in Copenhagen and bought that hoodie. That was one and a half year ago. I have never looked back.

Do you want me to PM it to you as well?

So perfect!  I love the Emil-esque sparks and soot (and the Spark-esque labcoat and goggles, which will no doubt catch the attention of the many other Girl Genius fans here).

Hehe, this is just regular old lab getup (worn so that when doing crazy things it's possible to shout "for science!" and get away with them  :P ) I haven't actually read Girl Genius, but from the way I've seen people talking about it I'm guessing I probably should ^_^ Consider it added to the reading list!

Well, Google apparently Did Something to image hosting via Drive, so here's a link to my portrait instead.
