Help on improving avatar...

[xplag]

Hey guys I just wanted other people's opinions on possible changes..

Also, what do you think? I know its sloppy, I'm new at this PS stuff.

Oh, and any help with my banner would be appreciated too

i can help on your banner i guess, since i can tell you like alot of games, sometimes the main idea may not mix properly, its not your fault. id personally would base a banner on a main idea.

what are you trying to do with the avatar?

when using free transform hold in shift to lock your images to a perspective... i noticed your signature is really distorted...
I'm going to post my series of tutorials... keep an eye out for them

Ehh, with the avatar, I was wanting to go for a fuzzy skeleton (Domo-kun + Grim reaper).
I had to completely remove the scythe that the reaper was originally holding, and the hammer I just got from a maul I found online. I tried making everything black and white but it looked kinda crappy, so I brushed in some purple then blurred and went over it with the crosshatch filter.
And Techno, what do you mean distorted? can you elaborate?

they dont look to scale, for example the scout looks way to horizontally bias
and idk i dont like the hammer if you took it out and just tried to replace the background it would look better

heh, these are all kinda slop jobs, I only took about 20 mins on each. I'll try reworking them after I read your tuts. Thanks a ton, keep em coming if you got any more suggestions.
