Pixel Joint Forum: Critique (and help me fix?) my bases?

Message

   Okay, so I'm making an avatar site and have these bases:

I thought they were fine, but apparently a lot of people don't like them. At all. D:

Can you C+C them? And possibly help me fix? XD

	I can't see your picture. Maybe the link is broken?

	*Originally posted by Game & Watch* I can't see your picture. Maybe the link is broken? That's so odd; they were working when I posted them. Uploaded them to Tinypic, so they should work now:

	Lots of people are complaining about the head and face. See any problems with that area?

	The faces look to similar whereas bodies are very differents. Maybe you should make the man's head more squarred, and the woman's thinner. I also find the head too big in proportion to the bodies, bit otherwise, that is nice, keep it up ;) Edited by JC Denton - 25 June 2009 at 2:35pm

	The bodies are all nice and well defined. The heads are pudgy flat and short. I don't have much of a problem with the size of the heads in relation to the body but they seem like the faces are squished down. Make the heads taller, lift the eyes up, lift the nose and mouth up (but not as much as you did the eyes. they'll look squished again) and then redraw the chins - as JC suggested, to make the genders have different faces. They may still be too big for some people's tastes though, I donno, but the main issue I have with them is how short and squishy their heads look.
