What is the image that more characterizes you?
  I don't mean what's your best image or what's your irtc winner image or
anything like that (although those are ok, of course, if you feel like it).
  I mean what's the image that more characterizes you, that perhaps reflects
in some way your personality or something, that when people see it they can
easyly remember that "ah, this is the image made by ...". It may be some
mascot of yours, or some other thing. I may even be a series of images of
with the same topic.
  If I have to choose about my images, I would choose this one:

Very cool concept.
Why doesn't someone set up a gallery or web page on this idea?

Here's my favorite pic www.geocites.com/kgbates/images/Castle.jpg
Unfortunately, I no longer have the source for the picture (It was going 
to be part of a fly-by animation), but the Moray scene file for the 
castle might still be in moray.binaries. The only thing missing is the 
furniture :) (Horribly unoptimized, tho, it was one of my first major 
scenes)

  Hi, Krystian. Your message text shows as a long, continuous line in my
newsreader. I don't know if others see the same thing, or not.

  Also, could you post in plain text, only? Some newsreaders, mine
included, do not decode HTML and I have to launch another application to
read it. Thanks much.

Actually, I guess it's

It was done with Animation:Master and successfully captures my delusions of
grandeur as both a muscular superhero and a philosophizing intellectual.

Yes, I feel you are characterized by this picture: you shot me down at least
3 times ;-) ;-) :0)
Neverthelessnotwithstanding: a very strong image!

Actually, the one I consider to be the most characteristic of myself was
created for the IRTC:

          http://www.gate.net/~shipbrk/raytrace/scholler.html

It expresses a few of my non-computer hobbies (calligraphy, art, books,
historical research, even costuming) through the medium of my favourite
computer-related hobby.  :-)

You know, I don't think I've gotten down to making an image like that. :( I
normally keep me to myself. The only thing I can say is that in most of my
images you'll perceive one constant: perfectionism (denoted by the
exagerated use of +AM2 +A0.1 +J0.0 +R4 or higher in situations that don't
need it). Though, if I really think hard, I could say that YAHI captures me,
heck, I'm *in* it! My overly-"Dragon Ball Z"ed imagination went loose in
adding the "power" around the monk and making him a being of pure energy.

Maybe this one: http://members.aol.com/iotadot/lhathcbw.jpg
since I'm in it, and tend to spoil the picture as well.
Not exactly an easy task to choose a favorite rendering.  I was a security
patrolman, meaning I drove a car around (4 towns every night) when I was 19
years old (yep, just the one year), so perhaps it fits me very remotely
anyway.

Nieminen,
Great question!
It really had me stumped (ie, got me thinking).
I will go with
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/1117/largeglass.html

It is my version of the lower half of Marcel Duchamp's [French 'painter']
"The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even".

Now you have put the idea in my head to do a self-portrait
and I am angry with you because I do not need another project:)

BTW I remember when you were working on that image. There was a discussion
about which version was 'better'. In focus or not. I like this one.

Re: Jeff
It seems like ages ago that I downloaded this image. I looked at the source
of the book textures for hours. Definately in my personal HOF.

Re: Greg
I like your web site suggestion. Congradulations on going with a
realistic person. From what I have seen of your work I think you have the
technical expertiece to pull it off.

Re: Mike
I don't know about Gentleman of Leisure but I sure have felt like an insect
sometimes.

Re: TonyB
Good answer, but please link to the image. The monk is very cool.

Re: Bob
I had forgotten about this picture. I remember being jealous of the hat.
I can't believe it is Pov.

Once again I have all you guys to thank for having to spend another tomorrow
with one eye shut. Luckily as I grow older I need less of that sleep stuff.

Peter

I like castles and landscapes... since I haven't gotten to the level of
sophistication that represents me as well as I'd like, I give you my first
public picture at:

http://members.aol.com/castlewrks/metaphaze/frisco/frisc90a.gif

and my most recent creation

http://www.angelfire.com/md2/castlewrks/images/99vista.jpg

You will notice that the Frisco castle was done in 1997... one day I will
revisit the source and update it with the knowledge I've gained through the
years.... one day... I think one with 36 hours instead of 24...

I had never seen that image. Cool. Can you believe you're the first POVer to
actually look like I imagined you? So far, I've had very bad luck guessing
what everybody looks like. Ron didn't look like I imagined, nor did Chris
(Huff), but you do! "Psychics for dummies" really does work! j/k

That's funny.  I guessed you pretty good too I thought after I saw the media
face thing you did a while ago.  And beyond that everyone has not turned out
looking like I expected so far either.

Those are great, castle is severely aliased and the trees look like they got
hit with a gale force wind but it's fantastic stuff.  You, and so many
others, have my admiration.
