New Avatar

Blogger and reader Nomad has drawn a rendering of how she imagines me . I am so pleased with it that I would like to thank her and post her image of Highlander and use it as my new avatar from now on (until she makes another one :P ) . If any of you are as talented and would like to make one of how you imagine I look, do email it to me please :)

yeah NB better acknowledge the copyright lol! I have another one but I will say it to you in private :)

I linked to Nomad as a french artist and I think she is very much so. This is so nice of her Highlander and I think she does look like you no? except for few corrections.

I can't stop laughing at the toes and shebsheb zanouba lol Libyan queen should torture her male fans indeed :)

its good but I like the flag carrying pic.

Leilouta said...

I never really tried to put a face on you, but the drawing is really nice. The only thing that I thought you might have is long hair, am I right?

BHCh said...

What? Nomad is a girl??? I am not going imagine anyone; I even can't get the gender right.

NOMAD said...

yeah, with a masculine mind though !

Shlemazl, you aren't serious, are you? You never knew Nomad was female?

Sacrebleu!

Beautiful drawing! Highlnader looks so urbane and civilized compared to my "Nomad" avatars! Wait until I display the "pervert" one she did :)

Nomad, did she tell you how close you got?

PS-I volunteer to do an avatar for Non-Blogging! ButI can't guarantee it won't look like Mister Potatohead :D

Nomad must be some artist, I can never imagine myself drawing such a beautiful portrait of you or anyone, even myself!

Ahaha, i thought the toes thingie has vanished from the face of the earth, somehow, NB seems to be very attached to "toes".

I have to visit Nomad's blog. I didn't know she's a girl! Yikes.

flag vs portrait

I'd go for the portrait as it has got personal touch. An identity, your identity according to her interpretation (whether she may or may not have met you). I don't know how close it describes @ potrays you in her drawing but I find it very captivating. Was it the eyes, cheek @ gold? ;P I don't think you'd put on that much jewellery but I may be wrong. I think you're more of the outdoorsy type!

Twosret said...

Don't worry Craig I just asked her to draw you naked or making out so it will be scandelous.

NB,

Watch out the curse of the Pharoah's might follow you :) they too had foot fetish lol!

Shelmzal,

For the first time we agree on ONE thing, I too thought Nomad is a guy, thanks to highlander she corrected me.

Leilouta,

It is amazing how similiar it is to Highlander's features and you guessed right, long hair indeed!.

NOMAD said...

I am sorry that two american bastards find out before everyone else, does that imply they are french lovers, and won't admit it :lol:

NOMAD said...

NB, I don't see H as a Lybian but as a fair lady

programmer craig said...

Nomad, Americans are smarter and more perceptive than other people, that's all :D

NOMAD said...

unless we are blind and deaf, we can get their smart feeling :lol:

programmer craig said...

This is my recomendation for your avatar, Non-Blogging!

Fishing

:D

KhadijaTeri said...

I like it - I wouldn't change a thing. I've always thought of you as having short hair... and you have mentioned you like your gold.

Writertobe said...

Holy Ramadan! That is sooo cute Highlander. I love it.

Highlander, I bet someone who’s got a sexy voice like yours would be Very hot, right? Umm!

Girl, post a picture and put 'em out of their misery, ok! hehe

NB, maybe we should write a petition for her majesty HL to post her picture.

We the undersigned followers plea with her majesty to post a recent photo….

StarLit said...

nice earings!!! I really liked your new avatar, but i can imagine you with long hair,though ;)

programmer craig said...

Me too on petition! At least she should post a pic of her eyes like her character did on Adam's blog :P

Who are we kidding though,, she didn't even post her feet picture yet :)

Akram said...

is that you covered with gold,I can't imagine how do you look but Nomad helps me with this and I must thank her for the nice avatar.

Highlander said...

Non-blogging :P are you trying to compete with Programmer_Craig for the no.1 fan place ?
To answer your question ( and that of the others I guess ),Nomad's painting is quite reminescent of me. I was shocked and suspected that she somehow knows me.

The Libyan flag avatar was not like me at all as the girl has blondish hair.Potential participants are allowed to imagine anything about me as long as it is kept within the boundaries of decency - i.e. shebsheb and scars are OK , bikinis are not :P

By the way I am relinshing the torture of my male fans ( if there are any :P ).

Twosret :) you flatter me so much by calling me the Libyan Queen ( Copyright) , but then I like it I must admit he he he.
I think Nomad is incredibly talented, and can never thank her enough for such a lovely present!

AngloLibyan - I agree I like the flag carrying one too so much and it is still Highlander , but that one was not for me it was found on a website for avatars and there are identical ones for all countries - so it is not unique . Nomad's painting is made for me - that makes my ego go up up up LOL


Leilouta you are absolutely correct, my hair is probably as long as yours .:)

Shlemazl yes Nomad is female - don't tell me you could not figure that out from her comments over at Sandmonkey's ? he he he wink @ Nomad and Tommy.

Programmer_Craig - LOL @ 'pervert avatar' I have an idea which I will discuss with Nomad :P

Red :) yes Nomad's blog is cool go check it , as for toes I can see NB blushing ....
By the way I like Nomad's attention to detail , she even got the gold part right.

As for female hearts NB I think my heart is posted all over my blog in my writings if someone was still in doubt :)

Nomad thank you again for the compliment ! de tout mon coeur xxx ( kisses )

NB how do you like P-Craig's avatar suggestion to you ?

Khadijateri - thanks :) yes I mentioned I liked my gold , can't remmember where though- must be getting senile.

Sereeb - 'Holy Ramadan' Ya binti , now I'm getting requests in my email for voice recordings in addition to toes, now that you have revealed my secret weapon. I may post my eyes when I become published like you inshallah ( by the way congrats on that - we could not leave a message on your blog "hint)

So how's the petition going ?

Maiuna :) thank you sweetie- yes my hair is really long but I'm thinking of cutting it to match the avatar - what do you say ? shall we have a vote on that ? hmmm I may post a photo of my hair instead of toes of eyes LOL.

A.Adam ;) yes it really is me, I'm a big shlaftiya walahi , you should see me with the gold absolutely eccentric and totally gypsy like ( no offense but I love the gypsies).

Can someone please translate 'shlaftiya' for our non-Libyan readers ? Help sereeb ?

NOMAD said...

It was a pleasure for me , I like drawing, and imagine people ; as I am optimist , I saw the sunny part of you

(sorry for Craig, but he deserved sometimes a cold shower !)

programmer craig said...

NBA,

Craig's lost that competition already and by a large margin as you can see in an earlier post of yours ;-)

Hah... if you only knew :P

(sorry for Craig, but he deserved sometimes a cold shower !)

I'm quite happy with the avatars you did for me, Nomad... they aren't as far off as I might want to believe.

I guess the nearest English translation of Shlaftiya or Shlafti is Chav.

Highlander said...

Thanks Anglo Libyan :)

Nomad , in praise of your talent you will be surprised to hear the remark my cousin and aunts made today when they saw the avatar. No one knows I have a blog but I had the photo open to rename and file somewhere and they happened to see it . They all said in unison " oh how pretty - this is you ! " .
I had to deny of course LOL
So once again you are fantastic :)

Be careful, I'll get a big Melon !
