I have been changing this avatar ALOT lately. And I'm not sure how I want to keep it. I want to stay with the warrior theme that I'm going for though.
This was the avatar I started out with:

But some people told me the head looked a bit cluttered, and others told me I should have more red on my head if I were to keep the blood. So I tried and sorted it out.
But now I'm stuck between two ideas I really like.
This one:
And this one:

Which one would you all prefer looks better? And for whichever one you choose, what do you think I could do to make the one you chose look better if so?

To me the second one looks cleaner, it's not got a lot of personality though. I like the first one best. It adds more of a story to the look. Though the color of the blood kind of messes with the flow I think I'd go with the first one if it were me. Hope it helps, both look good.

I say the second one, but then add some of that awesome ice blue from the eyes somewhere else.
