I like the avvie and the action he's in. I just don't understand the spiral and the green triangles. What are they supposed to do?

a solid 7/10 for you

I like it. It's well drawn.
However, the way she's holding on the sword seems a bit funny to me...

Ooh, pretty avvied, but I'd love to see the shoulders. The cropping gives the impression of a severed head a little which would be relieve by seeing at least the tops of the shoulders.

9/10

As usual, your avatars are quite interesting. I give it a 10/10

You're a pair of pants that ninja'd me. Very nice! But would be better if it had something sparkly on them, and if they were short shorts. 9.999/10

Seriously... People put too much stock in word choice and ignore all the squiggly lines around them...

It's kinda small and has thin lines, but akrim made it and i like it, so 8/10.
SO EVERYONE KNOWS, THE GREEN TRIANGLES ARE A SPELLCASTING AURA.

I like the fact that the avatar is in a semi dynamic pose, which I know are helluva hard to pull off, and you didn't do too bad. Love the "naughty grin" sort of look you have going there, aced that one. While I do like the spiral on the staff, it seems to be coming out of the side, instead of the top, which makes it look slightly budget. The avatar isn't shaded, but shading is not easy to do, and sometimes makes things worse. Hell, I can't shade, so I wont be adding that to the rating actually.. Just thought I'd say.
The body and cloaks clip seem to be facing the user head on, whereas the body and cape are at an angle as if the avvy were running towards the text.
Love the hair flowing back thing, though it could use some work, I don't understand why it seems to be flowing down and sideways simultaneously.
I understood that the green triangles were a spell casting aura after looking at them myself the first time (before I read your post) but it took me a while to figure out it wasn't a plant, and honestly it doesn't look very nice.

Overall good avatar with okay posing. Could use work, but is better than quite a few other avatars I've seen. 5/10

Nice avatar, it's pretty much what I imagined and I really like the magic effect. The only real criticisms I have are that the wings seem kind of plain to me and that the feet could be a bit more angled to better show that he's floating in the air, but otherwise I like it. 8/10

The main body seems solid enough. The problem is that the wings attach in a somewhat strange way, and both they and the magic are inconsistent with the existing style. I'll give it a 7/10.

I like that new one. Not that much different from the previous ones, but it makes sense. 8/10.

I've always liked drow, whether they be called "Dark Elves" or drow. So that's a bonus. I don't like how the neck andchin blend together, but I love the eyes, eyebrows and hair. Honestly, the only other problem I can find (for me) is that it's not full body, and therefor, no dynamic posing.

I hereby give you 8/10


Ninja'd, so edited with same as before. A little bumped up though, because I realized that I kind like the cape.

You know, decimal points in ratings aren't really necessary. You can just change the rating scale so it's out of, say, 20 or 100.

Anyway! Not really the best I've ever seen. I took me a bit of time to figure out what it was, and it's not really... appealing to me somehow. Still, it could be much worse. 6/10.

Is good. Though I'm never quite sure, is he falling or flying? I presume the later, but the way it's presented, I really can't be sure.
