Avatars for dummies!

Well, let me start by saying- that I consider no one a Dummy, just for posting disappointing Avatars... There has to be a lot more pointing in the wrong direction before I get troubled....;-)

So... What am I up to this time?
Well, I think - after having spent a substantial amount of mine and others precious time here on CM , that it was about time that I raised my voice, and spoke against the never ending trail of caged dicklet avatars here
on CM....




( Instead of putting someone specific on display, I just collected a random six-pack from a google search for "small dicks in chastity devices", - and picked those stereotypes out of God only knows how many....

And Guess what: These are indeed just small dicks- some even tiny dicks - in a chastity device- and nothing more. Nothing at all!

That is my first complaint:

1. Come on and show some personality! Don't be reduced to a dicklet in a cage. You are - hopefully - worth more than that. Why just be a lemming, with no spark of your own? Lets have some variety, - lets see more of the many facets of this lifestyle...

2. Stop being in love with your device. You are given the wrong impression. Most sane males are not in this because of a device fetish, but because they want to experience the rush and turn on from being denied, as well as the warm embrace of a desire to serve, please and worship their wife or/and mistress.... The control center for these emotionally changes are not situated in a dumb piece of plastic or steel, -but in your head. So - give us a view into your mindset, - and why not do it right from where it all begins - Your member name and YOUR AVATAR...

So - lets say it is ok to show off your pride in a month or two, - but then, please change to something more clever...

My confession: I wil confess that even I initially was quite impressed with my device. Especially wanted to show off my steel tube. It is a fortress! But I did it only in the gallery section. Not as an Avatar. I chose a Blue eye with a chain and a padlock to accompanying my user name @BlueEyes.


I wanted to show how I feel: alert, curious, even a bit naive perhaps, but always with a submissive twist, symbolized with the chain before my eye.. ( well i add the trick of an animation, to show the inscription of a padlock I wear from time to time...


This day I changed it, to something more artistic, and yet more balanced. My wife has joined this lifestyle and also CM, and I wanted her in on my Avatar, - showing that my submission is directed exclusive towards her.



She is standing on my Blue Eyes, controlling me. Yet I also tried to express the level of tension, desire, and lust we have in our relationship. She in high heels, the ones I just bought for her and me looking up with a clear view under her skirt;-). Yes women often do control us - just with their sex... I wanted to show that too;-)


3. Why make it too easy for any wannabe hardball mistress in here? Once You reduce yourself to an image of your caged-in dicklet, you have set yourself way back - in the balance in the discussions and chats you so eagerly tries to establish with online mistresses in here.
Well, some of you would not like it any other way, I know. My wife has met You online, - and she has been told over and over again that you where not worthy... That is some of you.

I have talked to many other Male chastities in here, who are not lost in a sometimes dangerous fantasy. a fancy that seems to have consumed them entirely. the ones I chat and PM with are very bright and straight forward in their approach. I am sure that they are many more out there. They serve their own mistress or/and wife, and does not come here on CM to be treated as dirt, by hardball mistresses, but to engage in balanced enlightening conversation. But hundreds or even thousands of small caged dicklets, gives any mistress in here the impression that males in here - for sure - are not worthy.... And that sometimes sets a tone, a tone not worthy.....

4. Don't tell me that You can't make one. Of Course you can make or choose an avatar!
192 x 192 pixels - You can do it.
Or seek some help and advice.

If I am not hammered completely to pieces for having raised my voice against dull or even personality reducing avatars, I would like to continue posting in this thread, with examples and technics on how to make a good personal avatar.

Sometimes an image - or even a crop from an image, taken from a completely different scene , can express a lot about you take on this lifestyle, about your personality and about your desires and worship. Sometimes a crop from a private photo makes it for you. etc. etc...

Sincerly
BlueEyes...

 

well, so many avatars are borrowed from the internet... - and the one picked is certainly expressing submission and desire. And may I add. Your vision is heading in one direction, and so is your tongue....;-)
I know the feeling- and I am trying to express that point of interest ;-) in my new avatar as well, but in a more subdued fashion...._

BUT - there is on problem if I may say so.
The way your avatar is cropped to a square 96x96 pixels from its original 192 x 288 pixels cuts off a rather large chunk of the photo you have selected. But You are lucky because, by cutting form torso and of of the nice looking girtl - you make it more personal. , - cause now we all know that the girl is not your KH it is someone from the internet. I would have been and issues if she was part of your 96 x 96 pixel avatar... The illusion is preserved, that it is actually you between your KH's legs...

Your full profile photo 192 x 288 pixels

Your auto cropped avatar 96 x96 pixels


So what to learn from this?

Well ..
Whatever image you choose for your profile - it will be resized to the width of 192 pixels. The height seems to be scaled accordingly... In your case it ended up being 288 pixels. If the initial is smaller then 192 x 192 pixels , you will not fill out the space in your profile box..

When CM creates your avatar from whatever you upload it crops the image to a square and reduce the size by 50%. So you end up with a 96x96 pixel image. The crop will be done from center. In your case cutting head and part of the floor.. Your have no control of what part that will be cut off. Center is preserved. Be aware of that.
You also have to take the 50% downscaling into account . Details can become too small...

 

Everybody can present a monster member with a cock ring on.. - Or whatever Your avatar shows;-)
Am I sounding the least jealous??? Taken from the size of the two girls your member must be around 2 feet tall.
Who would not be Jealous of that... ??? Someone else than you will be in great pain. Lol! Good You are locked up. People could get hurt! Lol!

Enough for the joking... Thanks for joining this thread,
and you sure have put a lot of thoughts into your choice of avatar...
Did you build your current relationship to match the avatar, or was it the other way round?.
Lol ! Stop - sorry - Joking again...!!! What a stroke of luck to find such an image that in very detail replicates your relationship

And Yes, I agree as well with your closing statement!

 

I have a number of readymade Avatars to get inspired from - or to have in this thread.
A small contribution to Avartar improvement...

 

Thanks! - Not many are showing off male body parts I know - but really - the female body is so much more beautiful and erotic, so help me God!....

 

Avatars can be anything in this world, and even the world apart;-) - or a clock showing Greenwich mean time for that matter.
In my humble opinion I find Avatars that gives a look inside your personality and take on this lifestyle to be more suitable and enlightening than yet another caged dicklet - but opinions do differ.

And bodies does not have to a part of that at all. I was merely addressing the fact that most of Avatar examples I have cropped includes - one way or the other - female body parts and not male parts, especially not "male - you know what- parts" ;-)

By the way, - what is the story being the selection of the Shepherd Gate Clock at Royal Greenwich Observatory as avatar ? I'm curious..

 

Congratulations @Caged Wolf A wonderful display of your lifestyle , and its current state That is what I like to see , Thoughts put into the Avatar, -thoughts that is a visual mind map of your Chastity lifestyle. And your member name is perfectly in Sync! . So are mine - back again. My chained Blue Eye..

I happen to be in a pretty similar scenario as You, only that my wife is the only Domme. So my Avatar in wolf-style would be something like this:



Have a great Avatar day

 

Just updated my avatar - Does not look all that submissive, right? But think twice. Eyes can still be blue behind dark sunglasses...

Just wanted to give an example of the diversities and contradictions associated with this lifestyle....

And No fake! - it is all me in front of Capitol Hill...
My wife's only problem with the image is - that I was not caged when it was taken. Lol!
