Anukai Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hi! ^w^ Can you tell me what you think of my current avatar? I'm trying a new blending mode, and I'm wondering if I should make more. :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Fever Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 It's adorable, but the text looks a little off. Aside from that I like it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Fever Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Off? How so? Like too big? Or misaligned? :S Oh no...The alignment and size are great. I just mean it looks a bit awkward with the background. Does that make more sense? For instance, the text blends in with one of the dark parts of her hair. It doesn't necessarily make it hard to read or anything, just looks a bit off to me. (Hope I'm being helpful and not just annoying. lol) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it didn't totally work. :/ Because I tried different colors, but they didn't look good with the dark on the left and the light on the right... Hmm...

CCarol Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 You avatar is adorable! I really like the image. But I agree - the text doesn't quite fit. What if you don't center it? Maybe if you put it to the right, it would look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manta Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I love it!! :D Maybe try a blurred glowing layer beneath the text in a pale green? That might help it stand out a bit more :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachiee Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I love the stripes and the blending mode, but I think that the text should possibly be smaller, rotated or moved around. If you leave the text where it is, I think it would look pretty nice if it had a small, light, possibly glowy border around it. :) Also, I'm just wondering- what graphics program did you make this with?

Maybe CCarol has a point and try not having it centered. Maybe play with the placement a bit. If not *shrug* it still looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCarol Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 If not *shrug* it still looks awesome. I agree :) Sometimes it's better to leave your work alone for a while and then come back to it later. Maybe a break from it, where you work on something else, might help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thinking, thanks for the advice! =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephiime Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I like your avatar, it's very cute! I do agree somewhat that the text is slightly off ... maybe change the blend mode (if photoshop is what you're using) or overlay some sort of texture :D. It's no biggie tho, I think it's already super awesome right now. If you want to look at some examples of avatars here's a really good site :) http://celestial-star.net/avatars/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
