Come for the arbitrary number assignments, stay for the belittling comments.

EDIT. The floor is now open for general avatar discussion. Any number assignments will be even more arbitrary, any belittling comments will be less amusing since I won't be making them.

The most obvious thing is that the image subverts the functionality of an avatar. Not only is the person pictured facing away from the posts, he's literally bound up, suggesting this poster is being held back from truly expressing himself. My interactions with KWill wouldn't support this, so there's a bit of a disconnect. Considering the long format of the drawing, the possibilities of the new avatar dimensions are woefully unrealized. The cartoon is drawn well enough but while black and white is fine, there's no weight to the linework and it fails to hold interest without any sort of hatching. Uninspired.

I intended it to be longer, but it wouldn't let me upload that version for some reason. =/

The smirking canine is a good fit for the admin who has a reputation as a meat-eater but is overall a touch too goofy to truly earn that reputation (not that she won't kick your ass (please don't ban me)). The stark black and white contrast is appealing, but again we're confronted with a left-facing avatar that doesn't match with the more straightforward nature of the subject. This would probably take away points, but flattery goes a long way.

This avatar imagines an intriguing pairing, but then, that's the rub: who is supposed to be representing this spacer? Are we to believe that the person posting is somehow being guided by two drunken Matt Groening anti-heroes, constantly struggling between belittling humans and having a donut? Should we sent psychiatric help? I am terrified to find an answer. Also, the photoshopping is kinda weak.

The colors in your signature are garrish and the character looks like a malformed Mr Potatohead. Points for Charlie Brown reference.

Why the hell not. Jesus can't go wrong... right?! lol...

Actually, it was supposed to be a self portrait before I shaved my head. I was called anglo-jesus for the past year or two now. Finally got sick of it.
