Travis, that bonnet looks spectacular on you, good sir! It goes great with that bracer, too!

And to any who are interested, Travis' bonnet is in the new Lovat Green color (a bit lighter than our standard green, and with little bits of blue).

I'm cracking up over here, with all this talk of "The Pose"! While I agree that Travis' rendition is not 100% orthodox, I find the idea of adding additional visual aids to the mix quite intreguing.

The original may possibly be the most effective...



...but perhaps Travis was on to something when he used a sword to "instill additional fear"...



But why stop there? Depending on your mood when the picture's taken, you might use something else to add that personal touch! Like your favorite drinking vessel...



If you really want to get ambitious, you could encorporate the tools of your trade...



...or even something as mundane and modern as a TV remote, for those days when you wish that people had an OFF button...



The fear instilling possibilities are ENDLESS!!!

EDIT: The bracer pictured above is a wonderful creation of the OP himself, featuring artwork by my sweetheart, Abigail.
