Worked on this for quite a bit, wonder what others think. I shrunk a selfportrait and plotted out dimensions with it, using broad pixel swathes, then detailing.

Thats pretty nice man, i like the way you shaded it. And the use of colours is great, its pretty much unique to all the others fad avatars.

Nice one. I think "his" left cheek is shaded a little to dark though.

ZoSo: I'm sure I copied some one elses, so its probably not unique, but thanks.

Rerg1: OK, thanks for that.

Player1: A fad is:

A fashion that is taken up with great enthusiasm for a brief period of time; a craze.

VERY realistic and groovy looking. The only thing that seems off to me is the glasses. They look kind of dented on the right (our right) lens and so it makes it look odd. It'd try to make the glasses not look so disheveled.

XD, well now my suggestion would be to do some dithering on the right (our right) eye. It looks slightly caved in with the one dark shade.

whos that? omg it's godslayer  :lol:

nice job so far, you should wear contacts irl, looks much better. I think in your recent update you may have lost the warmth to the image, seems much more cool now.. but I suppose thats your preference..

I like this though, it's a much more realistic fadatar. I was going for simple and cartoony for my own, I think I may re-do it..  :ouch:

also imo it looks better in x2 for an avatar.

I dont know if its my glasses that look bad or my rendering. Probably my rendering. I look dashing with glasses IRL.

I find it hard to believe you look dashing in anything at all :lol:

Nice work, i still think you should soften the sides of your lovely lady lips.
