I decided it was time for a new avatar for my social media presences – Facebook and Twitter at least.
I still wanted to keep to my favourite themes, primarily tattoos and redheads. Normally I render images of me with braided or dreadlocked hair, but I wanted to continue the theme I explored with “A New Look“.
The extreme short redhaired bob has its own stark yet sharp appearance, as the Red Witch series proved, and it’s kind of interesting to change my “look” so radically.

I liked this first version, but after uploading it into Twitter, I decided that it was too dark to be able to display properly in the Twitter thumbnails. So I went back to it and zoomed in on the head alone. The end result looks much nicer at the small resolution Twitter (and others such as Microsoft Live! and Yahoo) use.
