P.S.--LOVE your port and look!

Wait, is that not already my avi? if not, must be a glitch.

Whoops, so sorry. I messed up. Either crop your existing avi or use this one:

but both need to be cropped a bit tighter if used as an avi to highlight your amazing eyes even more. They are fantastic!

Probably not. These are much better IMO:

What do you think?

Maybe. You have a fabulous body, but it is a wee tad small in that avi.  You have others in your port that I think would serve you better

Well, I will tell you what I think. That is pretty much all I can do, and you can choose what to do with what I tell you.

there are avatars that will catch my eye when I post on another person's photo, thread or even on the main page, some avatar's will catch my eye. What makes those Avatar's stand out? Here is a short list:

1. bigger is usually better. Far away photos don't work on a small avatar. They have to grab my attention in about 1/4 of a second at most, and if my eye/brain has to figure out the avatar photo because you are too small in it or it is too busy, then it will not catch my eye

2. Colors.....bright colors catch my eye better. White (not so much a color but you get the idea) and red do the job the best. If you do a B/W then make sure that it really pops me in the face and says "HEY!! Look at me!!"  That is why I use the avatar that I use. It stands out. If the photos was smaller, it would not stand out. Do you agree?

3. Photos with curves and lines work very well. I will quantify this up front by saying I am a huge heterosexual. Just the way I am. We all have things about the opposite sex that really catch our attention. Look at the previous comments I have made......especially the ones that say "100% yes". There is something in the photo that sets the female apart.......legs, curves, behind, eyes, ........those catch my eye alot. And if you can highlight them, then I will more likely look at your port.......and maybe even list  or want to work with you if even possible.

4. Males. As I said before, I am a heterosexual. So you are already at a disadvantage if you are a male model. However, I will look more if you have a very creative avatar (because I like creativity no matter what your sex is), and I also enjoy beauty. Beauty can be male or female, but once again I inherently believe that females have more inherent beauty. Just the way I am.

OK, now to your avatar. You have some great bright colors, which works well. But if I was quickly scanning a page, I am not sure if the colors alone would make me want to look, simply because the things I listed above in #3 are not there for the most part. And collages don't work 99% of the time because an already small avatar is already smaller......therefore I can barely even see her eyes let alone know if they are captivating.  Once again, all this is my opinion, and someone else may give you a different opinion. So value this as much as you choose. It just doesn't hit me in the face and say "look at me". In order to do that you are going to need something with a lot more pop. Something that will take it from a good avatar to a WOW factor avatar. These are the ones I think would do good for you and why:

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 3#28977223
It has red......which is the biggest attention getter......and it has legs. nice legs. I think a different angle with this model would work better overall, but it works for an avatar

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 3#28977213
see above

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 0#28884340
the red and the boldness of the attitude of the model.

One large thing that everyone needs to realize.....me included......is that your avatar work does not need to be your best work. It doesn't even need to be a good comprised shot is many respects. It simply must grab the eye of someone of an extremely short time and give them a reason to see more. Good luck and thanks for stopping by!!

Awsoem feedback. thankyou so much. I will take all of that on board and keep it in mind. Thankyou again for honest feedback x

I like the contrast and creativity. Just needs to be cropped tighter

No. It blends too much and does not stand out as an avatar, which is the goal. To be noticed. I looked at your port and you have an amazing rockin' body. Use your curves and your sleekness for your avatar. Not only will it get noticed, but you will bet many more hits

Well what about mine? Someone said they would, for 'morbid curiosity' and if that is also in your case, okay, fine - but, if you wouldn't look at all, how about telling me what I could do to improve...? I'm curious. But a simple yes or no would do just fine, too
