As you probably all know, Groundhog Day is approaching. As usual, it will be on February 2. And since probably nobody wants to have a long period of lousy weather, I think we should be better prepared this year. Therefore, I'd like to open a competition, very similar to this one, in which we try to find/elect the

most beautiful avatar with the most compelling shadow

Everyone who's interested may post an answer. The winner will be the post with the most upvotes. TikZlings are welcome to participate.

The winner of the first prize will be allowed to determine the weather for seven weeks, and will get a special surprise.

The competition is over and the winner is Ulrike Fischer. Happy groundhog day!

    clearly you were so devastated at being beaten by a clearly more beautiful avatar that you have restarted the competition under slightly modified rules:-)

    @DavidCarlisle I am not participating here.... and yes, some of the users here have a very strange taste (putting pineapple on a pizza etc.)

    Agreed, the pineapple on pizza thing is strange. But he does eat ducks and rabbits, too, and I'd bet if he could he'd eat marmots. So what do you expect from a monster like @DavidCarlisle.

    @Skillmon I guess he is just desperate. Being based in England, it is probably very hard to cast a proper shadow due to the lack of sun light. I am wondering if he understands the concept, see here for more information ;-). (And if this competition would be won by an Englishman, I really fear for the weather. ;-)

    @marmot tbh, I'm desperate, too. Due to the nature of my avatar, it seems very hard to add a shadow to it. I could do some stuff in ASCII art, again, but that'd get boring.

    @Skillmon I actually think that, if you manage to use the "Spiegelschrift" trick from the cover of the pgfmanual (and add a bit of a slant maybe) ASCII art may become even more beautiful. (And this may be something new, at least I do not recall having this seen done anywhere.)

    @marmot brilliant idea, though I'll try to do it without TikZ, just to learn something new :)

    My avatar is the beautiful scenery in my small living place here in Black Forest. I won't add a shadow to that. Period!

    @ChristianHupfer Consider this: the weather may be ruled by an Englishman. Doesn't that scare you enough?

    Commented Jan 3, 2019 at 19:56
  • @marmot: I am scared by too much Sun and heat rather than too much rain. So if the English have enough of fog and rain, they can send it too the continent. We need it.

    @ChristianHupfer Living in California, I know what you mean. But still.... have you ever been in England? Don't you think having webs between fingers and toes is a bit too much? (And there are no marmots in England because we do not like our burrows getting flooded. ;-)

Edit on Groundhog Day

As winner I will ensure that over the next seven weeks the weather is perfect for some people in some places at some times. I already got a number of wishes:

    That's not a shadow... it's a weird projection ;-)

    @ChristianHupfer the English sunlight is so bright it penetrates the human head leaving the appearance of a projected image

    That's rather sun light scattered exponentially by fog;-) And apparently British heads are quite penetrable ....

    "English sunlight" is the textbook example of an oxymoron.

I must say, having such a complex avatar is creating some really fun and unique challenges for these things. I am thoroughly enjoying all these little contests (and learning a lot, too!). Here is my entry, based on my original entry for the TeX-mas 2018 event:

It shows a Ulysses butterfly flapping its wings intermittently, with a corresponding shadow that moves in the same way.

Disclaimer: This entry is just for fun (and maybe some advertisement for the tikzlings :), I'm not participating in the contest

The code below might or might not produce a shadow. (I hope @marmot doesn't mind that I borrowed (something similar to) his avatar)

I'm not strictly using this as an avatar but I do use this hippo

Hippo

as a logo for a SQL (Seekoeie Language(s)) application and it does have a shadow (Strictly speaking hippos don't have shadows only ripples). The pixelation is due to misuse of image magick

The code should it be necessary for a little proof this was done in TeX
