Hi popsicle! I couldn't help but notice you changed your profile picture.
You've had the Bad Robot for as long as I've recognized you as a forum
regular; any particular reason for the change? Seeing your name not paired with
the Bad Robot will be unsettling for a while He will be missed, gone but not
forgotten!


The other of a more personal nature, from a member I've gotten to know a
little better over the years.

In reply to both and to any others that may share that sentiment/curiosity ~

No particular reason beyond wanting to get the other pic up in it's place.
The new pic (actually old pic used elsewhere) holds personal significance (sentimental
value) much like my username does. Not making any outward statement with either,
it's just nice to see when I login. Evokes good feelings


-popsicle (always)

I am old and hate change. You should not have done that.

I'm getting that feedback from others too.

Do you still have your i8, or did you offload it thinking that you're too
"old" to drive it?

I still have your pebble picture you gave to me after you retired it. I may use
it soon

Still got it, but using it less and going out of the house less. Never too old
to have a convertible or a Barbie. My first car was a 1954 VW convertible.
I have completed the circle.

More composition mirroring ours, very nice!

Added sheen, shiny-look of plastic and a touch more shadowing to it.

I'm considering using it. Thank you very much!

I really like it.

It would print nicely on a thermal label too for making cheap logo stickers like
I do.

I looked up dimensions, modeled the head in cad just to get a good flat image
to export.

Now that's clever, adding some fun to marketing! Especially that creative
warning label idea!

Winding down. Looking to close around, if not at, the 6,000th order-fulfilled
mark. If weren't so, it might be fun doing something like that

Thanks

Appreciate the kind words.

I think the REAL question is how is Mark going to handle your avatar in his future
comics?

Are you going to be just 3 heads going forward, or his he going to add 3 figure
heads to the cute robot build for nostalgia's sake?

Hadn't thought of that. I'm sure he'll come up with something good
though. He's talented, smart and bold. Now if it turns out that he's
good-looking too, well then he's a real threat
