    Anytime I try to grow as a illustrator, I typically start in a new style with my avatar. I wanted to try a more straight-on, shaded look.

    FUN FACT: It's pretty obvious that I think people don't need noses. Most of my illustrations are nose-less.

    My inspiration was this shot by Edokoa and this shot by Pedja.

    Looks great Rogie. Is your forehead really that big thought 0_o

    Only thing that looks a bit odd to me is the goatee. It almost looks like it's your neck but very hairy. Most likely just a point of view though.

    Very smooth shading style. I really like it!

    My only suggestion, making the beard look like its coming down off the chin, instead of behind or below it. :)

    @Shawn yeah, it almost looks like an amish beard...lol. I was aware of that, but I kinda like it. Regarding the forehead, no, its not that big...I was aware of that too ;)

    @Marcus this one was about 2-3 hours of work...I'm sure I wont be able to hit David Lanham's $50 avatar rate...I'm just not that fast.

    Absolutely fantastic work, Rogie. Great style, well illustrated. My only criticism is that the beard looks just a bit disconnected, like it's coming from behind his chin. Otherwise, I love it.

    @Hillary I've had three dreams in my life: 1. Be a Disney animator. 2. Be a Game designer. 3. Be a faith healer.

    @Patrick your comment seems spot on. It seems a few people are saying that, so, well said my man.

    @Rogie All of those are not impossible! Being a faith healer is even closer than the other two. :) Dreams are just distant realities that are waiting on our potential to fulfill them (Which God put inside us!).

    @Hillary I've always felt something in me that was destined to be a faith healer, even though I know it's a VERY debated and controversial thing. I love the idea of bringing life and healing instantly into people's lives.

    Nice! Do you also think people don't need teeth on the left side of their mouth? :)

    @Jonno All you really need is one tooth that meets another tooth on the bottom so you can chomp stuffz.

    @Rogie Then it is in there for a reason. Just how I feel like I am destined to help people financially and help to re-build homeless peoples lives. :)

    Sweet action. Jonno, I almost wonder if it would look best to reduce the width on the right side as well (left visually) to simulate a more realistic smile.
