Mike while you are here... the below got declined because you said I didn't use a game avatars nose.. as you can see the nose below is different from the real pic and was used from the game.. I just 'smudged' it very slightly on the left side so it didn't look jagged and rough. Just wondering if you'd reconsider if I sent it again or shall I do it again?

I am gettin a little agitated it must be said. Mike declined my avatar (on the right) and I go on the 'accepted avatar list and see he has only gone and accepted some other guys avatar which is basically the same except my guy's head doesn't look like a chode.

 

some other guys:http://mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/13933751843521.jpg Mine: b169.jpg

Or is it because he has some light armor on? If so then why accept the below

Sorry to complain a wee bit but if anyone can explain why then I would be grateful as I actually did another 5-6 avatars like the one I posted above, I have already asked mike, still awaiting reply and just thought I'd ask other avatar creators like yourselves. So any explanations? please.

Rory cmon man. The dude in the original pic is looking to the left(ish) and the face you slapped on is looking to the right. Also the shadows are coming from different directions which makes it even weirder looking. That just doesnt work. :D Flip the background pic around horizonally and you might get it work, maybe.

 

My tip to you all is to not get too complicated with the avatars you're designing. Keep it simple and if you absolutely have to use some intricate base art try to find a picture where the person is looking as directly as possible to make the editing easier for you.

 

Sorry to say but I think there are way too many crooked avatar faces in here these days. :(

That's pretty cool, out of curiosity, how did you make it?

 

It's three pieces fit together really. First I cut out the head from the original picture. Then I googled "BJJ gi" and found out a picture which looked like it would sit nicely with the head. Adjusted the size of the gi carefully and slapped it on there. Then I fiddled around with the shadows a little bit, added some stuff. Thirdly I went back to google images and looked for a mma gym or bjj gym picture with domensions that would work with my picture (so that it looks like he actually stands in the gym).

 

That's about it. =)
