Critique the Avatar Above You -or die-

[invisible-weirdo]

Um....did you just critique your own avi? o.O

Anyway. I like what you have right now actually. Fairly simple, but it works quite well. I just wonder why you're all bloody and such...  

[The Dinosaur Next Door]

I'm not sure I get it, but it reminds me of the sun-worshiping Aztecs and their rituals (which often involved dressing, painting, or sexing up a young woman and then killing her.) So, I like it in a really abstract way, but since this is likely not what you were going for, I'd instead say that the items look like a set, which is hard to do with separates. I'd have shown more skin with the Fremere draped over your actual body, but that's just me.

Overall, it's well done, though my eyes are drawn down your body to your feet right away... that may just be me. The only thing that bugs me is that the spear is a different shade of gold... looks more bronze to me. I'd have used an "aura" or "decoration" item instead, to keep the yellow/gold to three items and to create more visual pull.

I... son't know quite what to make of your avi, Steph. It's very pastel-colored, has fishy bits, and a stick thrown in for god knows why. Maybe I'm just missing the memo, but there is really no cohesiveness in it that I can see...  

[Roland Karloseth]

Perfect, Erve. I have nothing to add, looks like you got everything you need for your zen garden warrior avi.

Roland! Lol It's Firewing btw. And your avvy strikes me as very Prince Charming for some reason. Maybe it's the cape and the armor. I love it. The hair color adds a nice twist to a classic theme.

He's obviously dressing up as Ike from Fire Emblem D:

--Now useless picture--

I really like your avi =] it's got a very magical quality to it. And it's about time someone found a way to use those lightning bolts without looking like a 'tard.  

[The Dinosaur Next Door]

I like your color use, but the mark on the face kind of detracts from the effectiveness - that's just not my taste. Other than that, I think you hit the nail on the head. biggrin

Er, I wanted to do a unique take on the Lady of the Lake... am I fail? emo  

[Kaz Likes Cookies]

It doesn't make me think Lady of the Lake. It's more...unique Little Mermaid?

The lighting is so freaking bright!

love the dash of gold. but the pants are just ok.

for mine, I'm trying to work on an idea at the moment. I'm writing a story about a shamed angel and trying to make my avvy look like the main char, am i getting there?  

[Taeryyn]

I find that with mostly monochromatic avatars, you need lots of detail or texture to keep it interesting. Otherwise it all runs together.

I suppose it suits the character, but I would try to add more points of interest.  

[CR Kyrie]

The head is so weird when combined with the rest of the avatar, but I can't doubt the obvious greatness that the entirety has to it. It's chillingly odd.  

[ll - Vanille - ll]

The wing and face throw me of, but other than that it is pretty good.  

[Taeryyn]

We have the same hair and bunny. x3

I like that the colours all match, and the facial expression cracked me up. Could use a smidge more blue up top, but that's just me being uber-picky.  

[invisible-weirdo]

Lovely as usual. The bunny seems a bit out of place, but it's fine as it is. Very nice outfit overall~
