What is the story behind your profile picture?

Recommended Posts

See, long ago I signed up for an account here and was too lazy to pick an avatar and to this day I'm too lazy to pick an avatar. This could be caused by my general sense of not caring. :)

My wife always wanted a big family; so when our first child was born, she immediately began calling him "Bubba" (a common colloquialism for "Brother" where I come from).  Since he didn't have any siblings at the time, I refused to call him "Bubba" and decided to call him "Boba" instead--and on that day, I became bobasdad.  It seemed appropriate, therefore, to use Jango Fett as my avatar.

That's sad! I got an idea, your user name is "brick g". So make a G out of Lego bricks and make it your profile pic! Go ahead, I dare ya! :wink:

This was originally my sig-fig, then a guy here on Eurobricks @Jebediahs made a thread about drawing sig-figs of other users. I was lucky enough to get one before he stopped posting them around late 2011-ish.

I like the look of Stormtroopers! But the prints on the Shocktroopers just had me from the start. Wish I could get hundreds upon hundreds of these guys. 

:classic: I can image an army of 100s would be quite the amazing sight!

Interesting, I always read it as "Bob as dad" :laugh:  it all makes sense now though.

 

Mine is just a Mr. T photo I pulled off google. I bought the dimensions pack and really like Mr T from Rocky III and the A-Team. So I made it my pic. I'll probably change it over the summer when I have more time to make a custom one. Not really an exciting story just my thoughts :tongue:

As for mine, I just thought it looked cool from the moment I saw the AoU poster.

Mine might be stirring dusty neurons. Big red robot called Dai X, piloted by puppets, not power rangers. Ninjago fans would probably approve!

Yes. I build fast first, then add details. Just like a Lamborghini. Fast.

@Kmuffin @Aventador2004 ah, but the question is, do either of you own the cars in question? You're very lucky if you do!
(And you would probably never have the problem of running out of LEGO bricks with that much money to spare... :laugh:)

Back towards the topic; have you seen the cars and taken those pictures in real life, or were they found on the internet? If the latter, what made you choose those particular images?

i don't own a Lamborghini, sadly. but i was lucky enough to see one going 90-100 mph on a public road. it was to fast to take a picture, but it was a special order black edition, so cool anyway.

My current profile picture is of one of my original characters, an anthropomorphised Bugatti Veyron (which I call Veyronians, which explains my odd username!) named Vladimir Veyron. He's been my go-to face for various forums since 2013, the avatar has taken various forms from minifigure to Constraction figure to illustration, but this latest version of him I painted a couple of months ago (I have a full version of the art on my Deviantart page).

Sometimes I change my profile pic to various characters from the trading card game Magic: The Gathering that I like. No idea why :laugh:

I have twin daughters. The pic is of me holding my daughter Megan on the left and my wife holding my daughter BriAnna on the right. They are 10 now, but, I don't want to change it. I think it is my favorite pic of them.
