My profile picture is a photo of a cobra holding a Tux plush and my ThinkPad.

There have been many iterations over time. The ones that I still have are listed here. All of my contributions are licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 International.

Zeroth iteration (XCF file unavailable)

The zeroth iteration of my cobra profile picture

This version was created by a few people on Matrix, namely AIM and Ulfnic.


First iteration (XCF file unavailable)

The first iteration of my cobra profile picture

This version is a modified version of the zeroth iteration, using my ThinkPad.


Second iteration (XCF file)

The second iteration of my cobra profile picture

This version is completely redone, using the original cobra photo from Wikimedia, and a picture of my ThinkPad and Tux plush. To make the shadows, I copied the Tux and ThinkPad layers, made them black, and turned them slightly transparent. I also used the dodge and burn tool to adjust the lighting on them. I added a little shadow on the Tux plush to make it feel like it was really touching the cobra.


Third iteration (XCF file)

The third iteration of my cobra profile picture

In this version, I added a trans flag to celebrate my coming out. I used the paintbrush tool in HSL Color mode to get it just right. I might go back and make it actually look like each scale has the color, because currently the color goes over into other scales.
