Needed me a new avatar as I've been using the same one for years now and am sick of it.  This here be a fairly quick pixel of the Transformers G1 character Carnivac whose name I use elsewhere.  He's an ex-Decepticon (Marvel UK comic plotline) hence why I gave him a scratched Decepticon insignia.  Also tried to get a sorta Geoff Senior (Transformers UK comic artist that inspired me to draw when I was a kid) look to the face and use of black.  At some point I might pixel the concept sketches I've done of this character using a more TF movie-like asthetics too.  But for now I have new avatar...

UPDATED:
Had no internet for a couple days so was redoing this, and changing the parts I wasn't happy with on the older version. Tried to give more lighting and depth and restructured some parts like the chest and helmet area to look better and in case of the helmet, more true to the toy version rather than the comic. Also fixed the arm which I thought I did appallingly bad on the original. The sky too seemed to lack something before, so I swirled it up a bit to look more dramatic. Defined the fingers on the hand better this time too.

Hmm. Thought it was Blitzwing for a second. Whatever, five out of five.

I don't know what to say, it looks so good. Inspiring too.

Whoa, lovely lesson for me about how much more details one could add in their avatar.

Bump your old one.  This kicks ass.

That's really nice, though I'll miss your old one :]

Thanks.

Dunno about the eyes glowing.  He's one of those who has a visor rather than visible eyes.  I did actually think about animation and did a simple lil thing with the sky but after viewing it looping for a while it just seemed odd that he'd stand there like that for such a long time, whereas static it looks more like a 'photo' captured in a moment.   Dunno if that makes any sense at all.

Personally I like it a lot, it brings me back to my days of Transformers. The only thing I would have done was perhaps put a bit more emphasis on the eyes...you know, the cliche'd glowing thing or something. Or perhaps a small animation of the sun reflecting off of the gun or something. Just ideas I wanted to bounce off you, not meant as critique :P
