Here's the intended title picture for the new Downer:

It's funny that Hookbill changes his avatar and all the Wights on the Downs start buzzing about it! Now you know who is important on the Downs, huh?

I don't know if I've said this before, I probably have,
 but anyway... I really like the avvie that Lommy has right now, I think it's the best one that I've seen her have. What is that painting from? It sort of looks like you.

Groin, I like your avatar a great deal. What is it, by the way? A dwarf lord rising in glory or something? It's a classic.

i think Groin's is something from the Battle for Middle Earth II game... or it looks very similar to the concept art of it.

 It's a painting by Alfons Mucha, and it must be one of my favourites of his paintings. This is the whole painting... It doesn't maybe look like me exactly, but it seems to have some sort of similarity - my mum always picked me that postcard because it reminded her of me, and she always forgot she had given or sent me that postcard already...

I like Mithalwen's. It's a poppy correct? Since Armistice Day is upon us. Or is my eye sight getting worse than I thought.

Nothing to do with your eyesight more due to my lack of artistic ability.
Since the Saucepan Man isn't around I thought I would make the effort. Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. Tomorrow is Remembrance Sunday here. http://www.poppy.org.uk/index.php/flanders.html It is ninety years since the end of WW1 and I have dedicated one of the Flanders' poppies to the memory of my great uncle who died aged seventeen having successfully lied about his age to serve for over a year in the army before transferring to the RFC where he lasted the average 3 days of active service. Just one among so many ....

I must say Mith's avatar is very beautiful. It's more the picture that is beautiful than the lady, or something... I don't know, it just catches my eye every time. Maybe it's just the colours... Anyway, it's a good choice, Mith.

You must give any credit to Lalwende sinceI think this is the portrait of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire that reminds her of me. Not sure I feel it is quite me though...in denial that mad hair and big nose are clearly my distinguishing features

Not amazingly but it is quite long - as is mine - actually I think that is very like my nose in half profile which is definitely the best angle for me. Straight on it looks broken apparently. . My hair goes a bit like that when it gets rained on but I love the hat Oh and I like Pio's new avatar but I keep thinking it is Lommie...

) , and they interrupted with "Oh so that is how you broke your nose!" when I said I had never broken my nose they carried on digging and said "you have to admit it is quite wonky". The next time I saw my parents ( I was living in France then) we went to a restaurant and I was facing a mirror and grumbling that it was indeed wonky. my dad said there was nothing wrong with it but my mum said that when I was a baby they took me to the doctor because they thought I had a squint and he said it was just an optical illusion caused by the shape of my nose

I sure that this one has been spoken of before, but the phantom's is just, well cool. That ghosty presence to it matches the Down's personality admirably.
