I've been posting here..but I made a new avi from Photofiltre..good program for me:) Here's the link. Tell me what you think. http://no14mexony.deviantart.com/art/Mexony-Avi-87493365
I don't think you added it into the right category on DeviantArt.. Traditional art is meant to be something not done digitally. But you can still edit it into something else that fits more, I'm not sure which category an avatar fits into tho. Browse and see what other people have added avatars into. As for the avatar itself - I don't feel much for the pattern you have used to cover Sora in. If anything you could try making it weaker in the area of Sora's face so that it won't distract too much like it does now. I'd avoid the text tho, at least one that is in white colour. Against a background in the colour tone used here (warm colours + Sora) it becomes less visible. The best thing you can do is to play around with the program you use some more, to see what it can do. Don't stick to just a few elements, the more you learn the better. :>
