I was working on these as a request from someone. Would like some feedback. I really wanted to keep them the standard smilie size but still make them look like the character and keep the expressions clear.

They look awsome although the bottom two on the left dont look right. The bottom middle maybe change the shade of red it's hard to see. The white one you cant really make out the arrow very well. Over all good job

Yeah apparently when Aang gets really angry, his spirit takes over and his arrow glows and his eyes glow. But with the light color of the skin, it's tough to make it stand out.

As far as the embarrased one, is it really hard to see the blush? I made the red pretty dark, although I'll be the first to admit thats not my favorite one.

I will try and tweak them when I get some more constuctive crits. Thanks, kwig. ;)

The red blush looks more like red glowing eyes to me, because the eyes are up so high and closed, making them harder to see.

they actually look quite good to me. hard to tell what the bottom-left one is supposed to be doing, if you didn't know about that whole glowing thing. the rest seem fine.

Hooray Avater rocks! Thats pretty much all I have to say, I agree with what else has been said. Maybe add some white into that glowing one to accentuate the glow
