I need to choose which head shot to use for conference profiles / magazines / icons / etc. I've narrowed it down to four but I am very bad at picking this. Can you help?

(Poll is in the next tweet.) (1/5)

I honestly have no idea. (2/5)

Words of encouragement are also appreciated. I feel very anxious about using an actual photo of myself in any context. It took me a long time to get the nerve to look at these at all, and then again to narrow it down to these four. (3/5)

Oh, one for fun - my unofficial "Leader of an Underground Organization" photo.😆(I can't use it for the meme since it breaks the "without downloading any new photos" rule.😝) (4/5)

These were taken by the very kind Rudy Pierrat. linkedin.com/in/rudypierrat/
Thanks, Rudy. ☺️ (5/5)

You are all so unbelievably kind. 🥺😭😊

The sixth thing I worked on at Arkane was "Eminent Domain" for Dishonored's DLC, "The Knife of Dunwall". This is what we made instead of the very expensive Clocktower map. 1/14

It's known that this map was originally Dishonored's second prototype (vertical slice). The prototype was convinced as the most genetic Dishonored mission possible (which also make it a good marketing asset), so it was pretty easy to use it as a canvas. 2/14

This wasn't the first time we used parts of that prototype in the game. Galvani's estate (and the Art Dealer and Burglary challenge map) all used the mansion interior. Naturally I wanted a totally new Estate for Eminent Domain, with a critical change. 3/14

The fifth thing I worked on at Arkane never saw the light of day. It was a map for The Knife of Dunwall set at our vista landmark, the clocktower. Before I get into my diagrams, here's some history. (1/12)

The clocktower was a fairly late addition to Dishonored. It gave Dunwall an iconic building that you could see from every map to give the world some continuity. But because it came in so late there were never any plans to visit it. So in the DLC, we wanted to go for it. (2/12)

Knife of Dunwall had a scope like an accordion. It started out very ambitious, but soon had to be dialed back, hence the cut. When the scope was later expanded to create what world be the Brigmore Witches chapter, it was too late to revisit this very expensive idea. (3/12)

The first thing that I worked on at Arkane was The Flooded District, with Christophe Lefaure. Here's some of my early flow diagrams and paper maps, in no particular order. (Cont.)

Quick aside: Using the word "thug" to describe members of Slackjaw's gang is regrettable. It's weird seeing that word here. (Cont.)

This might be the earliest process image. Calling the hub area the "Bear Pits" was a little Thief homage. The whale slaughterhouse didn't make the cut, but that's a good thing. The version made for Knife of Dunwall was worth waiting for. (Cont.)
