Pretty nice, both of them. I very much like the idea for the avatar. You appear to be wearing mascara in early stages of decomposition/beating. Which i totally respect. (great hair rendering, specially on the more disheveled stages
)
On the guy above, i didn't really read the helmet as such, it looked more like a statue on it's head (complete with head, chest, and arms joining near the waist) until i read your post. Too dark colors near the large white highlight area on the dude's head. As you know, THIS IS MADNESS
