Lynn Says ~~~ I really wish you had used an elegant wig like I suggested, your black hair looks really out of place. The dark blue on the wand does also. It's a cute avatar, but I wish you had gone more in depth on your character description. You could have made mention of the dragon for example.
Eni Says ~~~ Decent, but bland. The items are cute but uninteresting. There is nothing to balance out the black of your hair. The theme doesn't seem to suit the avatar too well, but it's all right. C+.
Azure Says ~~~ The avatar is cute and pretty, very elegant and simple, but the description is very lacking. It sounded as if it were made up in seconds without thought or heart to it. She has the power to make people happy. That's not going to make villains stop doing what they do. They'll just be happy about it.
Ookami Says ~~~ Your avvy is just an angelic themed avvy, and doesn't really appear to be a hero. The wand stands out, and the description is very dull.
Winter Says ~~~ Well she is a poor hero because she makes me very very sad.

Lynn Says ~~~ Although it isn't the most original combination of this months MCs, I still think it's kind of cool. Reminds me of the silver surfer a bit.
Eni Says ~~~ Again. This avatar is just all right. Nothing about it screams "AWESOME" in any way. There are too many donation items, and the commons used are part of the same set. That's not very impressive. The simple elegance of the avatar wins it some points, but the bland presentation and lack of creativity lose it some. The theme does not strike me as very heroic in any way--a villain could do the same thing. I'd like to see better next time.
Azure Says ~~~ The avi is rather topheavy. Despite the metal body of the avi, the helmet looks like it could topple her at any moment. Its elegant and pretty, but not one of my favorites. Also, I feel her description was rather lacking. As a writer, I'm finding it hard to see why she's a hero. She has powers, yes, but that doesn't make her a hero. If anything, she reminds me more of a Greek god than a hero.
Ookami Says ~~~ A very monotonic avvy. I like it, but I have to take a minute to see the individual items. The description is simple, and doesn't really impress me.
Winter Says ~~~ Seems like shed rust pretty quick surrounded by all that water. But aside from that.. what is with most of you heavenly empowered female heroes and wearing only bikinis?

Lynn Says ~~~ I think using both wings would've looked more balanced, and the bare legs with the socks looks funny to me. I also think you're getting a tiny bit cluttered around the chest. Other than that not too bad, keep pushing yourself and I think you'll do well.
Eni Says ~~~ This avatar is all right, but not fabulous. Sure, it matches, but nothing about it makes it stand out or look amazing. It looks like a bunch of items piled on to a poor result. Matching is good, but an impressive image overall is more important. The hero idea is passable, but not very original or exciting.
Azure Says ~~~ I like the avatar. Very cute. My only problem is I can't quite see her arms. I'm almost convinced she doesn't have any. I don't like her name very much either, maybe because one of my favorite characters in a novel series I'm reading is D as well. Vampire Hunter D to be precise. I'm curious to know what your version of D stands for.
Ookami Says ~~~ This avvy is, average. You used a lot of colors, which is hard, so I wouldn't suggest using more than four colors at a time. The flow isn't so great, and the description could have been better.
Winter Says ~~~ You realize birds that excel at long range vision usually forgo short range? And that they generally have disproportionate eyes and ears in order to keep track of their pray through triangulation? Also a skirt in the air might not be a very good idea wink

Lynn Says ~~~ Blue and gold avatars, my only weakness! x.x My biased opinion aside, I like that you created a beautiful villain, that makes them all the more difficult to fight against, no? Your description and avatar balance and compliment each other nicely.
Eni Says ~~~ For being so simple, this avatar is decent, but not spectacular. The Aquatica is used too many times to make this entry stand out as something truly innovative and unique. The concept isn't bad, but could definitely stand to be polished. I look forward to better work next time.
Azure Says ~~~ I like the villain concept, but I don't like the avi as much. The spike gold hair isn't quite as alluring as the long version is, and the Pixie skirt draws too much attention away from the avatar. I believe a Forbidden skirt or an Elegant Veil skirt would have been a better choice.
Ookami Says ~~~ This avvy, like some of the others, is simple. I think you over used the Aquatica, and that doesn't show much creativity. It kind of reminds me of the avvy Summers Snow made last cycle for the first challenge. But I think this version doesn't cut it.
Winter Says ~~~ I might have voted you my favorite if it hadn’t been for the idiotic Midas touch thing you have going on.

Lynn Says ~~~ She isn't dressed like any doctor I've ever seen, but I give you props on the creative character and description. I like the top half of it, everything looks evenly spaced and has nice weight to it. Getting to the bottom it seems too light, and the socks look a little chaotic or something.
Eni Says ~~~ This avatar is somewhat atrocious. I understand that it's supposed to be evil, but I don't understand the shorts or the leggings at all. I would think something more quirky yet menacing could be produced. It's kind of funny, but kind of bad at the same time. The description is very detailed and entertaining, however, and suits a villain well. Kudos for that.
Azure Says ~~~ Aaaahyeahhh...The hammer has to go. Of all powers to have, it had to be a hammer. The description was good until that point. I'd honestly be more afraid if the doctor had a scalpul(sp?) or syringe. The avatar itself is good though. It has a nice flow and the colors coordinate well.
Ookami Says ~~~ A very interesting concept. It doesn't match very well, but overall it is a good villain.
Winter Says ~~~ The real doctor doom is cooler. That’s all I've got to say.

CHALLENGE WINNER!


Lynn Says ~~~ I absolutely adore this entry. It's such a unique color combination, and they're all executed wonderfully throughout the avatar, not to mention it matches perfectly with your character and description.
Eni Says ~~~ This avatar is okay, but I feel that the colors are too similar in too many places, and that they simply mush together instead of working together. The idea is good, but the execution needs work. Detailed description and appropriate theme earn you kudos. :]
Azure Says ~~~ The description is good and strong, but the avatar doesn't scream "dancer" to me when I look at her. She looks rather plain and dull, and the faded colors make it hard to see just which items it is she's wearing. I had to squint to see the fan. The description made her sound elegant and beautiful, but the avatar doesn't quite match.
Ookami Says ~~~ I l-o-v-e this avvy. The flow is good, and it matches very well. The description is very interesting. Keep up the good work.
Winter Says ~~~ (Felicia-Felix-lucky) actually aside from the name I don’t mind the idea of this villain at all, though I would think she would be better suited as a hero. I will say that she seems to stocked with clothes for a dancer or windmaker.

Lynn Says ~~~ There's something about the bright bold chunks of color that attracts me to this avatar. It's not the most color balanced, and your description isn't terribly in depth, but I approve this avatar!
Eni Says ~~~ This avatar is what I could call "pretty good" without any great enthusiasm and without lying. It's just "pretty good." There's too much black around the whole torso of the avatar without being balanced out by anything. The items look "pretty good" together, but not so amazing that I want to weep tears of joy. The concept is cute and simple and works well with the avatar. This entry was "pretty good."
Azure Says ~~~ I see where the character's name comes from, but that's about it. I think the avi would have been better if it were more focused on the fish helmet than just have it be random reds and blacks. It actually took me a realize that the "phish" in "Phishita" came from the helmet because my attention was drawn away by the Chyaku Norisu scarf and Monkey King staff. And why does she defend the villagers so? Why does she hide? More character depth please.
Ookami Says ~~~ This looks more like a villain then a hero. And she? It's a male base. I think you were having trouble deciphering the challenge. The golds don't match, and overall isn't that good.
Winter Says ~~~ Lose the stupid shoes, gloves, mask and pendant and the obviously evil super power and you might have yourself a snazzy looking sensei.

Lynn Says ~~~ I find the description to be a bit of a stretch, like you had to reach far to justify your outfit. I understand her "ugliness" is supposed to be attributed to her powers but it's just not a good looking avatar in general.
Eni Says ~~~ This avatar is so elegantly ugly that it's wonderful. It's so bizarre and uncool that it rocks. It had me laughing out loud! The items are well-balanced by color, size, and distance, and make for a suitable match. The theme is simply brilliant! Kudos to you for challenging yourself and making such a humorous, fresh villain!
Azure Says ~~~ I really don't know what to think about this avatar. The colors are balanced and evenly matched, but I see no point in some of the items, like the innertube and hat. And making people ugly? I figured it was already a well-known fact that people who shun others are already ugly. *stamps forehead with UGLY label while in Simon Cowell mode* So you ruin a few faces with a magic wand? Big deal. I'd be more worried about the guy a few cities away threatening to eat the planet.
Ookami Says ~~~ I think your villain is really creative. Just the name is super creative. It's a simple look, with a simple theme, and you made it work.
Winter Says ~~~ You’re the envy of every ugly fat self righteous sparsely haired reject in America =)

Lynn Says ~~~ I quite like your original take on the angelic items, the colors you've chosen harmonize nicely. The only things I would've done differently is to switch the cloud into the mist position and added a phoenix tail.
Eni Says ~~~ This avatar is only decent, with nothing spectacularly exciting about it. The items just seem too much the same, not diversified to really make it shine. All the same, it's decent work, and the theme is appropriate.
Azure Says ~~~ Ahaha...I like it. Very well-played avatar and a strong description to match it. Cute layering with the skirts. I think the only thing missing is something around the waist or behind her to spread out the orange of the Phoenix Circlet.
Ookami Says ~~~ The flow on this avvy isn't so great. I don't like the layering of the cloak, and there isn't much orange near the bottom.
Winter Says ~~~ I actually don’t mind the idea behind his hero but I've got to say… sky powers… the ability to blow clouds… and sprinkle dust… oh and solar shots? What is a solar shot anyway? A concentrated beam of atmosphere destroying fire energy?

Lynn Says ~~~ I like the evil bunny idea, I thought that was cute. I think the items could have been executed a little better to make the avatar more balanced though.
Eni Says ~~~ This avatar is delightfully executed and well-thought out. The colors all work in a perfect harmony to balance out and make not only a nicely matched avatar, but an interesting and fresh one too. The concept is adorable! And the carrot pun had me laughing. Great work!
Azure Says ~~~ You should have milked it for what it was worth and wore the Bunny Clips, Bunny Ears, and gone for all pink and white instead of pink/white/black. However, the avi is well-balanced and played out nicely. The colors complement each other and aren't battling for attention, running with the eye nice and smoothly. I'm just not enjoying the description. Its way too whimsical to be a villain. Maybe a superhero sidekick, but not a villain.
Ookami Says ~~~ This is a very creative idea, and I like the description. The only real thing that bothers me in the shorts, because it doesn't really match anything else except the shirt, but the white is barely seen on it.
Winter Says ~~~ Wel yu look stuped an have ugleh har. On a serious note though there are just way too many things wrong with this look to even bother starting on.

Lynn Says ~~~ I like the creative description, and the avatar itself is pretty good once you get past all the clutter.
Eni Says ~~~ This is a masterful avatar! It reads "villain" loud and clear, and your fashion sense is nothing less than wicked. Some of the items chosen would normally seem arbitrary, and yet every tiny detail is well thought-out and they combine to make a truly spectacular avatar! The theme is reminiscent of a certain famous D.C. villain, yet you added your own twist and provided for a chuckle. Excellent on all levels!
Azure Says ~~~ I see the clown. Barely. I had to squint. I see the card. Barely. I had to squint. Now. Why the owl and why the doggy feet? If I was a Joker villain, I would not have an owl as my sidekick animal. I would have a cat or no animal at all. The whites of the avi draw attention away from it, and it seems very cluttered and heavy. This avi feels like it was made in five minutes with little thought.
Ookami Says ~~~ Ah, looks I'm judging you now, eh? There are some many things I love about your entry, but somethings still kind of bug me. The layering of the hands and claws really bug me. But overall this is a great submission.
Winter Says ~~~ I'm speechless, you are a chatterbox kind of person aren’t you?

Lynn Says ~~~ Haha clever entry, you definitely get that Scottish feel through your avatar and description. The only things I would've done is left out the skull pin and maybe changed the fish eyes and clown nose (they don't seem to fit in with the theme).
Eni Says ~~~ Certainly an interesting mix of items. None of them seem misplaced, in spite of their oddity, and they combine to make a funky avatar with a different look than most. The theme is suitable and entertaining. Nice work.
Azure Says ~~~ The description amused me. Sounds about right for a Scottish-sounding hero. It also reminded me of a satyr, and I think maybe the power of alluring women of either side to bed should have been included in the description. Hey, it could be helpful in the battlefield... The avatar. The only thing I don't like about it is the CN bow behind the avatar's head. I think the avatar would have been fine without it.
Ookami Says ~~~ This a very interesting color theme. Some the shades are off, so you have to work on that. I really like the description, very original.
Winter Says ~~~ You seem like you would have been drunk when you made this hero… why the horns and tail?

Lynn Says ~~~ A very comical and creative hero! It just needs a bit more gold around the bottom, the pants and cape add a large chunk of red that needs to be broken up.
Eni Says ~~~ Certainly an interesting mix. It's not often that I see red, pink, white and gold in combinations that are actually appealing. But you've done a good job, making a well-balanced and pleasing avatar, both in the items and in the colors chosen. The theme is most entertaining and suits the avatar well. Lulz lobster speak.
Azure Says ~~~ If he's radical red, why is there yellow on him as well? The avatar is veeery topheavy and unbalanced. He looks like he's weighed down by all the clutter on top and just pants on bottom. I like how you went for the red theme, considering in Japanese tradition red is a symbol of heroism, but I would have liked it more if you kept it just red. Also, the character description is rather...silly. If I were a villain, and Heaven knows I am Neutral Evil already, I would not be dazzled by a theatrical entrance by this avatar. I'd want to knock him out and rob him blind. Not give up a life of villainy.
Ookami Says ~~~ I have mixed feelings about this entry. On top there is a lot of white which you failed to match. But this entry is really creative, keep it up.
Winter Says ~~~ Well you do certainly look like a homosexual lobster, ill give you that much. I would say you might have a shot as a badly written porn character.

Lynn Says ~~~ Ooo I haven't seen blue and gold done quite like this before. I wish you would've given more attention to your description in that she doesn't sound all that "super". But it is quite a unique looking avatar.
Eni Says ~~~ This avatar is beautiful and elegant. Different shades of blue work together well and are broken up easily by well-flowing gold. The item choices are excellent without being redundant, and the theme suits the classic elegance of the avatar well. Good work!
Azure Says ~~~ The description made me giggle. I liked it. The avatar is very nice and strong with the description. However. I would have liked to have seen a touch more gold on the avi and perhaps the Blue Dragon tail as well.
Ookami Says ~~~ This avvy doesn't stand out. It's very simple, but overall it matches. The shield doesn't match, but it is a good hero.
Winter Says ~~~ A decent enough look, I'll give you that and a hero that has no real retarded concept of power. You get a raised eye brow and perched lip.

Lynn Says ~~~ The colors seem a tad dull, but I like the concept and items you've chosen for your avatar.
Eni Says ~~~ This avatar just made me lulz. Color and item coordination get you an A+. And it's just funny to look at. Anything that makes me laugh because of how strange it is without cringing because of how ugly it is gets you gold stars. Cute concept, passable theme, overall awesome.
Azure Says ~~~ The avatar and description both remind me of a side-kick than an actual hero hero. I don't really enjoy looking at the avatar and it doesn't even strike me as a magician at all. He has a beard and wand. So does my boss at work. Does that make him a magician?
Ookami Says ~~~ This is an amazing avatar. It matches very well, and the flow is very good too. The description fits the concept, and the only thing I would suggest is to add a little grey near the feet.
Winter Says ~~~ It’s Harry Potter after reaching his fifties while still playing a thirteen year old non boy loving cretin.

ELIMINATED


Lynn Says ~~~ To me it reads more "overdone demonic avatar" than it does "super villain". I've seen this avatar so many times, you could've done a lot more to play up the theme.
Eni Says ~~~ A sadly uncreative entry for a villain. There isn't much to be said for the color scheme, which is almost entirely boring black. The items could be broken up into more interesting patterns as well, but instead all we're presented with is a bland avatar that looks all too common. The theme is not interesting either, or very well thought out. A villain whose only purpose is to sow chaos? Gosh, that doesn't sound overly trite at all...
Azure Says ~~~ The avatar: Unbalanced and plain. I've seen a lot better avis made by n00bs wanting the Nightmare Scarf, Horns of the Demon, and Demon Tail. The whites offset it completely and I can still see the skin of the villain's arm.
The description: For one, Chaotica sounds more like a woman's name than a male's. Minus points for that. Second, there's no depth to the character. Why do they want to create chaos and destruction? Why is it their only purpose? There's no character developement, nothing that makes me want to fear this villain.
Ookami Says ~~~ I see nothing special in this avvy. It's mainly all black and doesn't make an impression. Your description is too bland compared to the others.
Winter Says ~~~ An overzealous attempt at creating some sort of cliché Japanese anime character. If it weren’t for the mask (which is supposed to represent duality which ISN'T chaos and destruction), or the horns (which represent power, not evil) or even the sword (which symbolizes order and purity) I would say you might barely have a chance as a power rangers comic relief villain.

ELIMINATED


Lynn Says ~~~ You've made an angelic hero that looks nice and semi original, but it's borderline stereotypical to me. I do like the description, but I think both angelic and demonic avatar generally don't go over well unless they've got something really special.
Eni Says ~~~ This is an extremely bland avatar. All you used were donation items, and they're sparse and uninteresting. Any kind of effort to use commons or more interesting items would have helped, but you took the easy path out and failed. The theme is as bland as your avatar, and does not deserve a second look.
Azure Says ~~~ DINGDINGDING! We have a winner! The avatar is simple, common, yet one of my favorites. I love seeing avis like this one in the Chatterbox. They're elegant, they're sexy, and I love seeing them. I feel maybe something gold around the waist would have been great, but the layering wouldn't allow it, I'm sure. And I love the description. Well thought out and wonderfully portrayed through the avi. I would honestly have no problem writing a story about this avatar.
Ookami Says ~~~ For entry is really simple, and that's ok. But simple isn't the best way to go, because your entry doesn't have much going on except an angelic theme. This doesn't read superhero to me.
Winter Says ~~~ Put some clothes on, honestly no one wants to see a blind girl who can shoot lasers out of her hands naked especially one trying to be a hero. Heroes aren’t shanks remember wink

ELIMINATED


Lynn Says ~~~ If you'd have worn black shoes instead, the avatar would've almost been perfect! Though the description isn't relating well to me. I don't understand what the languages has to do with being a hero, and it doesn't explain why she has wings or a halo.
Eni Says ~~~ This is terribly boring. Nothing about it stands out or makes it interesting in any way, and she certainly doesn't look like a hero. The items seem haphazardly placed and the concept simply glossed over. The theme doesn't suit it well and this avatar overall does not belong in GNTM.
Azure Says ~~~ I like the description, but it leaves too many questions unanswered. How does her appearance make her invisible? Where did she come from? Why is she a hero? What makes her a hero and not a villain? Is fighting her only ability? The avatar is good, but the hair made me squint. I think it would have been better to have used the black punk hair with white streaks. I feel a few more black accessories would have been nice as well, but other than that, it's good.
Ookami Says ~~~ This avvy is very plain. It's mainly white, it's a set, and it's not that impressive or interesting.
Winter Says ~~~ So she's… a striped teenage batman… an invisible striped teenage batman…

ELIMINATED


Lynn Says ~~~ I find the description as well as the character to be rather uninspired and generic.
Eni Says ~~~ I see the vague start of something cool in your avatar, but it's not quite there. The base is decent, but you could have, and should have, pushed yourself farther to make this an amazing entry. What you have made is little more than mediocre. The items are bland and tattoos are used as a crutch for lack of good design. The theme is also weak, but is effective with this avatar. I think this could have been much better.
Azure Says ~~~ The avi is cute. Very simple, very elegant. I would have liked to see maybe one more Lunar Cowel around her waist. Aside from that, I like it. However, since I have nothing to pick at the avi about, I'll pick at the description. The name is generic, as is the power. Be more specific. How does she control the darkness? How is she able to? Is she a human with powers or something from another world?
Ookami Says ~~~ I'm not a fan of this entry. You didn't really match the hair, and the avvy seems to plain. Your description is really bland, which makes it hard for me to get interested.
Winter Says ~~~ What exactly is darkness that it may be controlled so viable, what is it that requires scantly dressed Goths to be its master.
