The fighters kinda messy... But the avatars kinda good...

oh, if you saw the details of my avatar, you would change your mind, BIG time, but thanks:smallbiggrin::smallredface:

For your avatar, the cane causes the zombie to be difficult to see.
I also agree with Crimson Angel about your fighter as there are some stray lines.

The cane is bigger than the entire avatar.

I'm just sayin, it's made of like 6 shapes. Mine has maybe 28.

18 shapes to be exact:smallamused: (counting eyes, scars, decals (the weight triangle on his shirt), zombie eye texture, and the 3/4 complete unibrow.:smalltongue:)


But, I made my avatar 16X bigger originally, but this was the only copy that made it out of my frustrated editing. So there were many details you may have missed (for example: the left eye is the wrong shape and size).

Assassin89: Thanks, I'll make it smaller next time.

its getting better now you should make the lines in a consistent thickness, and also get the swords hilt and blade to fit together. Id recommend you making the hilt longer so it overlaps with the blade and then just laying the blade over it. And the hair and hat outline should be layed over each other more carefully.
And if you would like him to look less like he is shrugging, move the shoulderplates down by at least half their own height. maybe move the arms too, but only a little bit. And some smaller eyes would do him good.

Done! I think. I'm really proud of this renavation:http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/812/fighterfy1.png

Weve got quite a few tons of improvement right there. Keep going like this and you could be a renowned avatarist :smallsmile:

A little criticism for your wizard:
The right hand is difficult to see
the belt is a little messy
the feet have some strange lines. I think one problem is with the nodes.

I'm not sure what you meant by the right hand being difficult to see, but I revised it:http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/1631/halflingwizardss5.png
