A gentleman with a huge point to make.

Kelster, your avatar is a harshly-coloured monstrosity. This is not a compliment.

What you suggest I do about it. And what do you mean by 'Harshly-colored' anyway?

What you suggest I do about it.
My suggestion, and note this is just a suggestion based on personal preference, would be to change it something less likely to make my eyes fall out, and then delete the original file and, if applicable, whatever original image it was cropped from.

And what do you mean by 'Harshly-colored' anyway?

I would think that's fairly self-explanatory, but to clarify: the colours are far too vivid. You appear to have no concept of subtlety.

And what do you mean by 'Harshly-colored' anyway?
You don't think that sharp blue, sharp red, and sharp orange, all together, is harshly-coloured?

He looks a lot better on paper.

Indeed. The whole thing seems to clash with itself - the blue horns are especially vile.

You don't think that sharp blue, sharp red, and sharp orange, all together, is harshly-coloured?

Nah, it must be SHARPLY COLOURED! :D

I thought it looked fine...

Optimism is sin in some circumstances.

My advice: work on the inks yourself, and get someone else to do the colouring. Ideally, someone who's using something a little more advanced than an Acorn Archimedes 16-colour monitor.

Wow. I like how there's an entire thread dedicated to my avatar.
But I have a better idea: How about I stick to paper?

Hahaha! :D

Although, perhaps Kelster's uniquely colored artworks could be used instead of Ishihara color test (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishihara_color_test) pictures.
If someone says "Oh, what a nice picture", it could be a strong sign of color deficiency for an ophthalmologist. :rolleyes:

Having said that I need to ask you Kelster, do you suffer from a form of color deficiency?

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it but That's all I'll say as I don't want to step to far into this thread...

Such an important topic deserves it's own thread. :rolleyes:

Oh, it's not THAT bad.

Especially compared to people like this (http://sapphydracases.deviantart.com/). :p

...ANYWAY, I guess you could experiment with lighter colors that wouldn't clash so much.
Colored pencils are a fair bit better than markers in that regard (assuming you used markers or something like that).

in all fairness this one was a LOT worse

pieman's avatar is entirely suitable for this thread.

o.O I think that her av is fine, why dont you?

Not until you at least learn how to animate!
The least you could do is make the horns grey or black! I mean, it's a friggin' orange demon; why did you even consider putting blue horns on it?

...ANYWAY, I guess you could experiment with lighter colors that wouldn't clash so much.

Or darker colours, especially considering that demons aren't supposed to be bright and striking!

But I like his blue horns... they go with his wings.
And was the other one a lot worse because it had to do with Green Day.
:( I like them...
Yes my color vision is perfectly fine.
No I do not have a color disorder.
I thought it would be fun to go with complementary colors. And I guess there's some anilegous colors on there too.

......
...I preferred the old one.
Also, I'm guessing that most of the complainrs were using the Retro Purple skin.

I agree

I'm using it and I saw nothing wrong with her avatar.

Your own av is just as bad!

Also, Kelster is a girl! (She's actually my girlfriend, if you didn't already know)

I know, I'm using it until I find a better one. I'm running out of avatars.

Sorry, I'll edit My last post.

Blue and black are complimentary colours. Blue, red and orange are not!

No I do not have a color disorder.
I'm not so sure about that...

It should be pointed out, this wasn't a thread in the beggining... this was inside some other thread and apparently was split from there and made into it's own thread, for glod knows what reason...
Anway, yeah using solid, saturate colors is usually a bad idea. Try using lighter colors and stuff?
Also, some texturing helps, and shading.
See any difference?

the first one looks more devilish. nice :D

Well if I wanted it to look more devilish I would pick appropiate colors.

mmm...
Well I did shade it but it didn't really show up.
And at one point his wings were blue.

Also, Kelster is a girl! (She's actually my girlfriend, if you didn't already know)

This seems about as good a place as any to tell poninja that GRADIENT FILLS ARE NOT AN ACEPTABLE SUBSTITUTE FOR ACTUAL SHADING.

And even if they were, what possesed you to set the dark colour to pitch black? Shadows aren't Pitch black.

My avatar, on the other hand, is perfect. I wanted to represent a pitch black square, and I achieved it.

Oh come on, they were better than 16-colour...

poninja probably is nice. So, you may recall, was Forrest Gump.

My Brother's girlfriend lives in Switzerland. He visits her whenever he has a holiday from college, and she and him visit us for christmas.

That one is long-distance and it counts.

Foo.

Yeah, it is cool. I'm glad he finally changed it.

yeah, I'm missing something here....:-/ he's always been nice as far as I have seen. maybe he did something in a section that I don't visit often, or I could just be getting him mixed up with someone else.

yeah, I'm missing something here....:-/I think we all learned to accept that a long time ago...

People, it's a freaking picture under a name. What the hell are you getting all worked up about?
