Description Here is my entry to the #PixelPlaza Avatar Contest! I doubt I'll win, because not only is this pretty bad, but there are so many awesome entries! For instance, ~Czar-the-Dragon 's entry is amazing! I'm just putting out there in the hope that I might win an honourable mention!
If anyone wants to tell me what can be improved, then please do!

I like this! Hmm critique? There's something about the clouds... I'm not sure what. Otherwise, I like this entry, thank you for entering!

Thanks!
I would ask what you dislike about the clouds, but you don't know

Hmm, how about try to make them look fluffy!

Lushbob In reply to Nintendogirl213 [2010-12-22 10:58:59 +0000 UTC]

That is a good idea, but I don't really know how to do that! If you could help with any tips, that'd be great!

Wooo, shading! I'm not quite sure how you shade clouds though

Looks awesome! I love the border, and how you outlined the name. I think you have a good chance in the contest!

If I'm honest, I prefer yours over Czar's. It's more colourful, and eye-catching, and pixel-tastic whut.
The only thing that really caught my eye is those clouds. Same shape, same everything
Though I think the cloud's shouldn't be behind the blue one, or that close to the emotes, it's generally all-round good, anyway
And when I look at the birds, think more 'bats' than 'birds'...but that's probably just me

Really? I don't!
Those clouds?
Yeah, I was also annoyed at that, but I didn't want them 'merging' with the white border of the letters...
But thanks!

QuintonCharles In reply to Lushbob [2010-12-20 21:49:11 +0000 UTC]

I figured you'd say that
And yeah, they struck me instantly as the ones from [link] - but I appreciate how difficult it would be to make 'original' clouds
I figured you'd say that - I thought the same thing, after commenting. But because I 'figured you'd say that', I didn't bother re-posting or anything. I'd just justify it now.
Which I don't seem to be doing...
But...er...
You're welcome

Lushbob In reply to QuintonCharles [2010-12-20 22:15:37 +0000 UTC]

Oh wait O_O I honestly didn't realise. I didn't copy those clouds! I had a mixture of rough plans, and I guess that my mind just... copied the clouds?
But it wasn't a copy and paste...
xD
Although I can definitely see why you'd think that!

QuintonCharles In reply to Lushbob [2010-12-20 22:17:49 +0000 UTC]

Oh, you didn't?
Well...that's...intriguing.
They also remind me of the classic Toy Story background.

You seem... disbelieving
Although, yes, it's understandable.
You know, the process was simple... Draw a few circles, fill in the gaps
If I'm honest, I don't really trust myself. Maybe my subconscious remembered the clouds, and then just re-drew them.
And yay for Toy Story!

QuintonCharles In reply to Lushbob [2010-12-20 23:07:06 +0000 UTC]

Not disbelieving, or mistrustful, or doubtful, or even sceptical...more...flabbergasted. With a hint of befuddlement.
I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case; often, I end up contradicting previously-written statements of mine in stories, simply because the subject is on my mind, and the subject of that subject's negative appeal is on my mind also!

Befuddlement <3
Yeah, it's confusing! And... befuddling...
