So why do all the avitars have a phong-like highlight in the upper left, some sort of trademark?

I take it the program that you are using is a commercial product...

..When I took it upon myself to create these avatar images, I decided on a 'look' and 'style' for the end product. I then 'stuck' with that 'look' to keep things simple. In doing so I established both a clean look and common visual style that has been recieved very well by the people here in the forums.

..Take your avatar pic for example. Before it was pretty much a run of the mill avatar.. once I decide to rework it, the results look like this..

..now I'm not going to say it's better or worse than the original, just that now it 'fits' in with the new look and style that I have been working with.

As with all my avatar pics you are free to use them or not. The choice is entirely up to you. But now you have a choice, and that is always a good thing!

I mentionned the art package I'm using lower in this thread, scroll down or back a few pages and you will have the answer to that question.

Have a Great Day, Cheers!
