If I were a dude, this would be infinitely creepy - it still is a bit, no? But it's even creepier when I point out that all of the characters I have ever built look like Parallel Universe Alyssa. It wasn't until recently, when I started creating a character for The Outer Worlds, that I realized every single character I create looks like my ideal mean girlfriend, and I've been doing that for nearly twenty years. How do you navigate your shifting sexuality as a young woman in the early aughts? For me, it was a highly specific combination of ripping out pictures of Megan Fox from J14 magazine and creating custom characters that looked like super hot punk chicks who would bully me. You've got to laugh at yourself occasionally and I'll embrace any way to do it virtually too. He looked like a garbage man.Īnd this hybrid of me/not me is particularly fun in co-op games with my friends: they won't know it's me at first glance when I turn up in outlandish new hats, pyjamas, or with bandana and sunglasses combos in Wildlands or Breakpoint, but the face is familiar and reveals my ruse in the end. One of my weirdest favourites was in Rory McIlroy PGA Tour where the dude looked (a bit) like me, had the left-handed swing, but was dressed in complete luminescent green from hat to shoes, both gloves to sunnies.
#DIGIME RIP OFF PLUS#
Massive tattoos down the arms and legs? Absolutely! The biggest hat going? Yup, give me that plus some ridiculous aviator glasses or something and we're flying. I'll still try to get a bit of me in there with broad brush strokes though - the right style and colour of hair, eye colour etc - but now I like to add flourishes of the ridiculous, to create a kind of caricature of myself.
Thank you to everyone who participated in my contest! You guys are amazing ( most of you at least) and we will see us around anyway, even without my contest.Īnd Fu** you to everyone who is only here to milk the system in an absolute disgusting manner.I very much used to be similar to Connor in the respect of meticulous creation, but I'd produce a likeness of myself so I could live my life vicariously through video games. But why trying and trying when people don't give a shit anyway? I've seen enough of this behavior in the past weeks/months and it honestly makes me incredible sad as I really tried so many things to push the photography community forward. For a lot of people it's even to much to say "Thank you" after winning prizes.įairness and equality are 2 of the biggest principles in my eyes, but unfortunately that's not the case for everyone. In my eyes Steemit is turning more and more into a crazy milking farm and people don't care about things like inspiration and passion anymore. Īfter 55 weeks and almost 1000 Steem I gave out in prize money, I've decided to not longer continue this contest. No one can imagine how happy it always made me to offer all of you a platform to share your photos, get inspired by others and just be surrounded by people who share the same passion and love about photography.
