Opinions wanted on my avatars

Good work! Those are very nice avatars... especially since you made them in ms paint. If you are looking for another free (and very professional piece of software) to work with, I can reccomend GIMP to you. It's free for download here Now it will take some time getting used to when you are not used to such a program, but there are plenty of support boards on the internet. Good luck! I look forward to see your future work!

Thanks, semper

Here's another space theme.

This ones a bit of a melting pot of conspiracies.

Heres a fresh one

If anyone is looking for a custom avatar, post some info for me on this thread.

Have you seen the Youtube vids of people using MS Paint to do the Mona Lisa and other cool stuff.

Check 'em out.

I think you definitely have talent.

I will say the last couple you did with Photoshop are not your best, mostly because of color mismatches and (imo) too cluttered; but the 'concept' is nice as is the lettering and individual graphic components.

Just be aware of the tendency to get too 'fancy' because of Photoshop's capabilities. Always stay true to your root design concepts.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the constructive criticism

I was thinking the same thing myself, try to make them less busy n stuff. It's easy to get carried away when there are so many tools to use!

Here's a freshy for y'all...

Another simpsons avatar.

Great work!

Keep it updated!

Thanks internos, you do good work too.

I've had an idea for an avatar for a while now, but i don't have the know-how to do it.
My idea would be a cereal box with ATS on it being poured in to a bowl with the words, "Have you denied your ignorance lately?" Maybe the contents being poured out of the box are the various subjects discussed on here. just a thought though

Cool idea, Sandro. If you would like for me to try and whip up an avatar of that nature for you, don't hesitate to ask. I don't have my photoshop anymore, but I could give it a try for you with the various other programs I have. If you want me to take a crack at it, maybe post a few images and/or suggestions I can work with in my avatars by request thread.

Here's another one with the recent "remember, remember the fifth of November" theme to it. Thought I'd have a little fun with it in MS Paint.
