how is my avatar looking?, What is your opinion?

That's cool...certainly original...and noticeable...er...what is it?

And why doesn't the av appear double like the message text?

The avatar is from Zatchbell, and the Japanese version is Kiyo Takamine
I dunno how to do that the text message thing

Love the colors.

If you're in it for design and colors, you have a winner. The characters are not immediately noticeable, but I don't think that's the important thing here.

However, there is a notable exception when the character depicted is of paramount importance, and that is when the character depicted is a cat.

Furthermore, I consider it preferable that the avatar should match the nickname, and ideally both should be cats. Needless to add that if a signature picture is also allowed, it should also be that of a cat.

I didn't know that you can have an avatar. I didn't see the link. Anyway, you're avatar looks nice - tho way too small. You should make it bigger - a lot bigger - say twice the size - bigger is better than tiny

Sorry i can't make the avatar bigger Techspot only allows you 40x40
