Is this an ok avatar? If not, tell me and I'll try to make something else.

I think its pretty good add effects if possible
better than mine

:I So freaking low quality that it hurts.
Basicaly just gradients turned all over the tori & shadow.

Very bad, also try to do the avatar MAX 200x200, bigger will lose fuckload of quality.

1/10

EDIT:At least some one did tell me it sucks lol

1/10

well it is your first time using gimp try looking up some tutorials on youtube
here is one you could learn how to do flames > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oUPmhA3vOg

It looks good in 100x100, not in the the bigger picture.

Bad cropping, but I like the gradient on Tori, not on the shadow. Lasso tool bucket gradients don't look so good on the GIMP presets, you should have just made the shadow one solid color. The sun could have been moved up further on the other side, it's crowded on one side.

If you were trying to make a screenshot rather than an avatar, you should have thought of some of the general basic guidelines, like the rule of thirds.

It looks pretty fine to me.

resize too 108x108
that way quality will be awesome in the pic
and the head looks like a cookie that has been eaten off
soz
2/10
