6.5 It gets marked down for not being in color and for taking me about a month before I finally figured out that it was a Warhawk Rider.

Grainy, and doesn't really fit the Rammie I know. You're more of the Swordsman (or with a massive club ;)). I would prefer if you used the one you have on Asur.org.uk :D

Beithir, yours always reminds me of a centaur for some reason... I feel like the upper body must be attached to an equine lower body. Perhaps it's because we rarely see elves with their shirts off?

I like it though, and I think there's a lot to be said for maintaining the same avatar over a long period of time. 7.5/10.

Thanks Tethlis! I can see what you mean about the centaur though...

As for yours, I must admit I've liked all your avatars so far but this would be my fave...

It certainly seems to have put a lot of effort put in (hand-drawn??) and sums up the Wood Elves character nicely I feel

It started out with a black-and-white hand-drawn sketch, and then I believe the artist scanned it and colored it using a program. Scrivener is truly amazing, particularly since he usually does Skaven art and this was his second attempt at Wood Elves. He caught my eye with a piece of Waywatcher art that he submitted during the Hour of the Wolf, and I sent him a PM on Asur.org praising him. I asked if he ever did commissions, and he replied that he did not since he didn't always feel inspired by the ideas of others. He asked me to describe what I had in mind though, which I did.

The campaign went on, and I didn't hear from him for a few weeks. Then he replied with a beautiful black-and-white image. You can imagine how pleased I was! I made a few comments, such as lengthening the blade, but the color choices were entirely his doing.

I really loved my old avatar (the hooded Elf from the Warhammer: Mark of Chaos trailer) but couldn't turn down a personalized image.

Ah so you got it from Scrivener! Now that you mention it, it has a remarkable similarity to his avatar over on Asur.org during the HotW campaign! It really is brilliant! I might pop over to Asur.org and peruse some of his other work...

Beithir Seun, Rating: 3/10

It's an elf, which is fitting, but too mainstream. It's also pretty dull with only one main colour on it.

Thanks

I like the colours, I like the "Kyte" (both the font and the text on an avatar). The only ba thing would be the Chaos Dwarf :D Still, a solid 8/10 for appearance.

Nice colors, appropriately elven, very wise looking.

Is it just me, or does it look a lot like David Bowie? Was that intentional?

6/10 it's our Queen. but as b/w and such small it is not superb looking. Maybe Mel does a coloured version for you ;-)

no, I don't think so. It is the elven king from the ending sequence of "Realms of Arkania Vol. 2: Star Trail" aka "Das Schwarze Auge: Sternenschweif"

but you are right. The downsized image really looks a little bit as Bowie

All to blurry and grainy, you need to look twice befor you see it's a bowman. And it reminds me more of a human bowman then a elf, maybe robin hood? 3,7/10

You've never played The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess? :(

I like it, but again it loses points for lack of colour, so 7/10

6/10. It's an interesting picture, but not very easy to see.

I just have to hope ~someone~ doesn't change my avatar again before the next poster.
