Okay... I know I've been doing avatar drawing for a while, but I still feel that my avatars aren't really up to par... Can you guys offer some advice? Critisism is appreciated, as long as it's constructive.

Here's my Photobucket Album (http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i311/ChimeraHybrid/My%20avis/)

Please help...

*Death twitches but votes for the >9 but <9.5 as opposed to the very tempting <.5.*

I are very fond of your avatars, and in particular the ones you have done for the iron avatarists recently. The attention to detail there is amazing.

Your art is great, but you really could use some thicker lines. If you want to adhere to the Giant's style, that is.

Your eyebrows seem a bit long too.

(I voted 8.5 - 9)

I like your style, the snowwolf is awesome. As Simius said, the eyebrows are a tad long, and the lines should be a bit thicker (but not by much).

In the Rate the Avatar game, I'd rate most of your avvies around 8.5, and some of them 9.0. So I vote 8.5-9.0.

I like the long eyebrows, it adds a touch of your personal style. I think the lines could be thicker but not much; or leave them because they aren't bad.

I don't remember how many times I've voted for you in IA contests, but I'm sure that I have. Your composition and drawing technique are very good.

I'm with the Thicker Lines crowd. Otherwise, 9.

Well...If there was a 8.5-9.5 option, I would have chosen that, but I went with 9.0-9.5.

I just agree that you need thicker lines. But your avatars in general are very good. You're one of the few artists I refer to when making my own.

I actually went with the 8.0-8.5. Thats more of your average score. A few of your avatars are better and would get a higher score IMO

But I wont rate myself too high either.

Thicker lines are more pleasing to my eyes.

But i like your animals, keep drawing those. :biggrin:

Here's my primary attempt at thicker lines:

Outline the skeletal hands/arms. You forgot to, or neglected to. Either way.

Always liked your work, Lykan. In fact, I can count on one of my avatar's hands the avatarists who do work I don't enjoy.

Shouldn't need to. Look at Xykon.

Took me a moment to understand what you meant there. :smalltongue:

Now this... Thoughts?

Too much detail on the clothes under the bandolier. The wrinkles are excessive. Also, something's up with that eyebrow line. Maybe it's loo long, or too straight. I can't tell.

I'm sorry, but have you ever heard of grammar? I'll leave it up to Soulknife to get the average, but it would seem that you don't know where the fullstop and apostrophe keys are...Or shift...

And please don't double post, there is an edit button.

What if say, they weren't winkles, and just a design?

... Because it is... I guess that's not too easy to tell, though.

And I agree with Dis. That's possibly the most annoying post I have read in a long time... And no, you cannot use it. I'm using it for something.
