♥[Insane Love]♥ - An Avatar Rating Thread

Avatar Raters

Here at the ♥[Insane Love]♥ we will be rating avatars of every kind. Come if you're dressed or need suggestions. We are here to help you make your avi better. Please, we have a few rules before we get started. Our rates are our opinions, and please don't get upset if you don't like it. We don't discriminate here or judge based on person. Cricket and I have both very different tastes which help with the rating process, but if you get rated low, don't get mad at us and start drama in here please. We are only telling you our opinion. Don't be rude to anyone or create drama because this is a drama-free zone. Now that the rules are cleared up, when you come into the thread, you can ask to be rated. When you ask, either cricket, myself, or both of us will rate you. Each week, we will be hosting our favorite avatars of the week. Two people will win each week (cricket chooses one and I choose one).

NOTE: INSANE CRICKET AND LOVEHATE are the ONLY ONES RATING IN THIS THREAD!

About her coming soon...

Insane Cricket
http://images.menewsha.com/avatars/45734.png?410601020
Insane Cricket lives in Missouri, in a city just outside of Kansas City. He is a small-town bug with a big-city heart but wouldn't give up where he lives for the world.

Cricket dislikes being called 'Insane' even though it's the first part of his username. His username is a personal joke regarding an annual cricket infestation that occurs in his basement.

He's addicted to roleplaying, loves to change his avatar a lot, loves to write, likes to draw (even though he's not any good at it), and is absolutely addicted to taking photographs with his digital camera. He lives with his grandmother, mother, boyfriend creature, and a vast array of pets that he loves very muchly.

He is to the point, so don't take it personally when he's blunt with you. Honesty is the best policy in his mind.

Cricket's Avatar of the Week

January 30th - February 6th

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g2...on/24047-1.png
Majhra!

In my opinion, one of the best avatars I've ever seen in my nine months here on Menewsha.

In this avatar, Majhra displays the ability to draw attention away from the large fan, making her avatar the center rather than the CI, which is no easy feat. I believe this is accomplished by using the brighter white on the avatar, which steals the eyes away from the fan, without making it invisible. The different shades of gold flatter each other, and the reds are simply divine. Truly an oriental beauty!

Congratulations, Majhra!


Information

~I will choose a new avatar every Friday.
~I will not choose an avatar based on anyone's preference but my own.
~I do not play favorites. If I hate your guts but you have a pretty avatar, I will tell you so. If you are my friend, I won't choose you just because we're friends. This is about style, not emotional bonds with other people.
~I will explain my reasoning for each of my selections.
~I will pick the avatar of the week from any thread I happen to visit, it doesn't have to be from this thread.
~Don't throw a fit if you don't win. If you insist on knowing why you weren't chosen, then calmly ask in the thread and I will tell you.

We are open and ready to rate you people!

Insane Cricket 01-13-2009 04:02 AM

-Cuts ribbon to own half of thread- Come one! Come all! Let us... Um... I don't know what would rhyme. D:

Eserel 01-13-2009 04:17 AM

Hi guys!
Looks great!
Rate me?

[L]ove[H]ate 01-13-2009 04:20 AM

Haha cricket you're amazing. Uh, I rated you already. So cricket can do the honors.

Insane Cricket 01-13-2009 04:23 AM

Eserel: I like the balance of color, though down at the ankles I start getting a little confused. There's a hint of green but the ties of the pants fall down over it making it look kind of dirty, almost. Like dust or some other grime has gotten on the socks.

I like the use of the 'makeup' glitch. But the hair I don't really like, I think the bun takes away from the orchid and the tiara. So maybe the version of that hair without the bun.

All that being said, I give you a 15/20. I do like it, but it could be improved upon. ^_^

Love: Um, Cricket's confused... How, exactly, is he amazing? o.O

[L]ove[H]ate 01-13-2009 04:26 AM

I don't know, you just are. Deal with it.

Insane Cricket 01-13-2009 04:33 AM

But! What if I don't want to be amazing!? (Please don't comment on the ugly avatar. It will uh, be uncluttered in a minute or two. ;;>.>...)

Eserel 01-13-2009 04:34 AM

:3 thanks for the rate!

Insane Cricket 01-13-2009 04:35 AM

Um, you're welcome? Lol. ^^;; -Peeks out from behind concrete block- Glad you can take critique. XD

Eserel 01-13-2009 04:36 AM

<shrug>
Its not my worst
i've gotten some dumb stuff before
I dont like the color blue
3/10
its ridiculous
and as long as i like it i'm happy

Insane Cricket 01-13-2009 04:37 AM

That kinda confused me other than I now know that you don't like blue and that as long as you like your avatar you're happy. @[email protected]

Eserel 01-13-2009 04:43 AM

XD
lol
you got the gist of it sorta
I like blue,
just some people are so blah at rating
And if there is a color that they dont like on an avvie
they will doc that person for having that color
Get it now?

[L]ove[H]ate 01-13-2009 04:45 AM

Agreed. I like my avi and think it's balanced perfectly although no one notices it at all...

But 3/10 is like really RIDIC! o.0 I'd be like, I don't like you... -10/10
