December 27, 200619 yr i made a new avatar in self-portray of myself! ( colors inspired by an old piece of Helm) so please Rate/Hate/ C-C (i could really use that) i'm unsure of some parts. edit: new version
December 28, 200619 yr It's good but isn't your t-shirt thing a bit big from around the neck and the shoulder thing? ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢
December 28, 200619 yr you look like your about 40 years old, unmaried, and you were just mugged on the way home from the bank, after the banker suspended your house because you couldnt pay off the debt from child suport with your dead wife jane. how descriptive :shock:..... I like your style, and helm certiany has some unique color choices, I love his peices though, so I guess I can't complain...
December 28, 200619 yr #-o forgot to post that i think its a good avvy, although the bg needs somekind of work, and the colors are awasome, even though they arent yours. i think you need to define more of YOUR fetures more, things that dont make you look like your about 40 years old, un- ... wait, i already said that... wop wop

These are MY features and they don't make me look 40 year old, thank you. thanks for your input :) star in the sky, yeah i believe your right! thanks for the tip, i'll fix that one! reddawn, yeah helm is awesome. jr_striker, thank you for your helpfull post.
December 28, 200619 yr skin has alot of crazy colors and highlights while the hair doesn't have any... same as the t-shirt? This just gives it an unfinshed look the face is cool tough but do something about the all black hair and t-shirt
December 28, 200619 yr I think the style of this is great, makes a change from other self-avatars ive seen, my suggestion would be to use your existing shades to define the face more, raise the nose for instance.. generally add more depth, you don't have a solid light source, maybe you were going for multiple lighting? if so theres no reason to use the shades to build structure to the face, darker tones tend to push parts back and lighter tones raise it off the screen. I love the palette though, I'd just add a light greeny yellow colour for the back to let your AAing work better.. hope you don't mind a quick edit, :ohnoes: eckered is that you in your avvy? :lol:
December 28, 200619 yr love the palette. colours on the skin are amazing, hairs realistic, T looks a bit round, but u could be a macho body builder for all we know? BG bluey colour suits it well IMO. My photobucket
