These are drawings of Aurora (the RP character I use in threads like "Obtain the Cheese!"), a white and blue-aligned Human Elemental made of light who wields a laser ring. It's hard to see in the drawings, but there's a laser ring on the right index finger.
No trampolines were used in the making of these sketches.
Star jump
Try doing star jumps in photographs; it's quite fun!
(Note: You don't have to be in the sky; you can try doing it at the beach, for example.)
Reference Sketch
Note: All drawings below this in this spoiler were made before this reference sketch. I may remake some of these after having this reference sketch handy.
Straddle jump (nighttime sky)
This is my first front-view sketch; all my sketches I posted before this one were profile-view. I'm not exactly good at drawing faces, so something looks a bit off, but I don't know how to correct it.
Tuck jump (daytime sky)
The distance from the ground isn't as unreasonable as it looks; it's only about 75 cm. (Aurora is only 1.55 m tall.)
The "Looking Up" pose (not a jump, but still a physically demanding task)
*DO NOT DO THIS ON A HARD FLOOR LIKE THE DRAWING SHOWS. Do this on a mat or carpet, or even on your bed. This pose was inspired by a lyric from an Ash Koley song
("Don't let your feet touch ground, and don't look down").
Walking on a piano (Same drawing as in the Name That Tune videos)

For the most part, I'll probably only draw lands. I'm not exactly good at drawing living things.

Name That Tune Piano quizzes: In each of these quizzes, name the song by hearing my playing on the piano.
Quiz 1
Quiz 2
"Redux" quiz - A quiz that takes clips from the first two quizzes to make a quiz more suited for publication.
Note: In these first two quizzes, what you hear is the instrumental line only. The quizzes I made after this do include the vocal line in the piano playing though (and are all based on a certain decade).
1980s music quiz
Other Audio quizzes: These are other quizzes that are like the Name That Tune quizzes, but they don't have me on the piano.
Blitz quiz - 50 songs, about 2 seconds each... but you only get one playthrough!
"100 Radio Song quizzes": For these, I took the playlist of a local radio station, and took the last 100 songs that played and put them into a quiz. Note that these quizzes may be a bit hard because in Canada, radio stations require at least 35% Canadian content, some of which isn't very well-known outside Canada... or in Canada, for that matter.
Quiz 1 (Adult Contemporary)
Quiz 2 (Mostly 1980s)
Classical Music Played Backwards - Self-explanatory. Name the classical pieces from a 15-second snippet of reversed audio.
Word Association Name That Tune - Another big one with 100 songs. Songs are related in some way by meaning of title (not the same as the Song Title Word Association thread in Quick Reply Games).
Hidden Rule quizzes: In these quizzes, there's a big list of buttons. There is a hidden rule that determines which ones are right and which ones are wrong. Try to figure out the rule as early as possible. The rule may be based on either wordplay or meaning.

These are things I have used as trap rooms in the Obtain the Cheese! thread.
The Pit
Kind of self-explanatory. Just one jump to get across, and another to get back. If you fall in, your feet become blue.
The Pit (Level 2)
So, in the Cheese thread, Kahedron decided to remodel the pit to be 28 feet long, which is way too far. So I decided to build some stuff back in to the pit, and this is what I came up with.
Maze
My attempt to create a mostly "normal" maze, though you do have to get a key in this one.
A recurring thing I do in these is that many of these feature laser fences that are 60 cm (2 ft.) high. The lasers aren't deadly; they simply leave colored light residue on you if you touch them. Being able to jump over these allow access to some major shortcuts.
Labyrinth
A one-way labyrinth, though quite a bit easier since the fences can be jumped over.
Really crazy maze
This is the only trap room that looks like it would kill people, though in reality the traps are mostly harmless substitutes and not actually dangerous. The signs and hazard symbols are just for show. No shortcuts in this one, though there are three distinct solutions.
Easiest Maze Ever
Hardly a difficult maze, but quite a few people (of all ages) I've shown this to actually failed this test.

The GOAL at the bottom is the proper ending. The one at the upper right is not a GOAL, but rather an old English word for prison.
My YouTube page
My Soundcloud page (Note: Neither of these two pages are subsets of each other. There are more pieces on my YouTube, but my Soundcloud also has some other things that aren't on YT.)
Also, except for the Sporcle quiz videos, what you hear here is not my playing; it's simply MP3 renditions of the midi files.

Unfortunately not... rules at my house are strict about this. I am not allowed to post any photos of anything around here, I'm not allowed to give my location too specifically, and I can't post any voice recordings.
Coincidentally, this reminds me of something that was displayed on a marquee serving as the intro to a Blue Man Group concert, that said something along the lines of "No video recording or photography allowed... sketches are okay though".
So, I can't post photos... so I can't show my face at all here. Or pretty much any part of my body, actually.

To be honest, I don't really remember. It started long before I had heard the Ash Koley song (Don't Let Your Feet Touch Ground) on the radio. RP-wise, it comes from dwelling in the sky, but the feeling of being off the floor for a split second was something I often liked to feel for some reason. Also, I found that photographs always looked cooler off the ground. (But since I can't post photos, I post sketches instead.) Also, I'm not actually a gymnast or cheerleader or anything like that; I do these just because I think they look cool when captured.
Another silly chain of posts related to this, in the "Ban the person who posted before you" thread: (Note that my location tag already mentioned "Not touching ground" at the time this started.)
Zananos: "EVERYONE IS BANNED BECAUSE THE FLOOR IS LAVA TODAY!"
Me: "Sorry, but I'm not touching the floor..."
Zananos: "Aurora is banned for being alive still."
