Here's your winner for this week, it's
Velvet:
How's this for a wonderfully evil-looking avatar? Check out that manic grin, that's the face of someone who's enjoying their work! I wonder what little kid is curently weeping over their headless teddy bear...ratty's playing close attention too, always satisfying to have an intelligent pet!
Anyone fancy a dipper of what's in that cauldron? Looks tasty, mmmm! And look at that background. Do you see how the trees look like a cave strecthing back into the darkness, very clever. A cave with the noisome red steam from that cauldron collecting up in the high points.
The chains add to the creepiness, but they also add
pop. Those, the rat, the skull candles and poor old Bertie's stuffing add just the right lightness in just the right places to highlight this look. The hanging crystals frame everything perfectly, and the summoning circle in the floor carries the red through very nicely without overloading anything.
A great avatar! But I think I'll politely decline any dinner invitation
