OP - 7/10
Me - 11/10

SecondClass: 2/10

Me: 15/10

8/10

does everything a simple avatar needs to do, but it's almost too simple--too plain, but otherwise solid

OP: 10/10

Me: 9/11

SecondClass: 2/10

let's try not to be biased here fam

oh, you never specified who we're supposed to be rating

class gets a 9/10 for using a particularly nice photo of an otherwise mediocre actress

10/10s are only for people who have completely original avatars, though--not something stolen from Google Images, and especially not pictures of somebody else, which is borderline creepy

nuka 6/10

it's interesting but the only REALLY good gif avatars are the ones that loop perfectly, and yours doesn't

it also doesn't go great with your green style but w/e

1, Winona Ryder is an amazing actress and if you think she's not on par with Daniel Day Lewis or Bryan Cranston then you haven't seen enough of her movies. And besides that, she's more than an actress, she's a person.

2, how is using a picture of your role model creepy? How is drawing a picture of a naked elite (completely original) less creepy than a publicly available representation of an idol?

I give mine a yuge rating

Ten. Points. Higher!

casper's is a solid 9/10

great memes

it's creepy because you're literally taking someone's face and using it to represent you, when you're not them--i just find that really creepy on a visceral level

i wouldn't even use trent reznor as an avatar--it almost seems disrespectful

i'm just saying--if i were a famous celebrity, i'd be really disturbed to find people using my face as an avatar on backwater internet forums

also, vien did not come up with elites, so it's not completely original--i'd give his avatars a 1-3/10 on average just for being tasteless and borderline autistic, if it makes you feel better--it's not that i find his avatars less creepy; i think they're beyond creepy, but that doesn't mean i'd give it a 10/10 just for originality

i could give a completely original avatar a 1/10, if i thought it sucked hard enough--but the highest score an unoriginal avatar could ever get in my book is a 9/10

With that logic you're disrespecting Tajiri by using a Pokemon avatar when you didn't create Pokemon. Makes no sense.

i'm not using a photo of satoshi tajiri, though, so that's a moot comparison

either way, i kind of am disrespecting the artists a little bit by taking ripped sprite art from Pokémon games

legally, you can't just take images from the internet--there are copyright laws that protect images, but no one cares but me

if you've ever made a formal powerpoint presentation or a research paper, you know you must duly credit all images--that applies to basically everything that isn't in the public domain (which is what clip-art and stock photos are made for)

so yes, if i were rating my own avatar, i couldn't go higher than 9/10 by my scale

I didn't even think of the fact that not everyone would want an actual picture of themselves, publicly available or not, to be used as an avatar for some stranger on the internet, though. That's a good point.

I don't think the general practice of it is disrespectful, but if someone doesn't want it used in that way and you continue to, unknowingly or not, it could be.

A drawing isn't much different in concept, but it's still a representation rather than a direct image.

Ask her via twitter if you can use her likeness here. Post results...?

yeah, i mean, while it's safe to say that no reasonable person would even care, it's still a matter of principle

i guess sprite art really isn't that much different, but your face is your identity

i'd care more if someone were using my face than if someone were using my art--i might be flattered, actually

if I was going to be bold enough to inconvenience Winona with some message on twitter, I would be saying/asking a thousand things before permission to use her picture on an internet forum, lol

Obviously my furry homoerotic one is the best ever

1/10

the fact that it's a pokémon, too

ugh just die

Ok now someone rate me

cute bird, but low res + terrible border = 4/10

Don't really get the whole beastiality thing going on with hyper sexualised anthropomorphic animals, but there was some effort (and I suppose passion) involved behind making it... for some reason.
