Well, that took a horrendously long time, but I finally made the move to change all my characters' avatars to pictures that were drawn by me, save for a couple exceptions when I haven't drawn colored art of the character yet. And HOO BOY some of those avatars are ooooooooooold like middle school art, but I'm hoping this will motivate me to draw them new avatars with the power of "look how ugly this avatar is now that it's your art, DON'T YOU WANT TO DRAW BETTER LOOKING ART TO HIDE YOUR SHAME?"
I just hope that shifting a lot of my characters over to having my art as avatars doesn't totally kill their chances of ever being looked at ever again. My art ain't fantastic, but it's nice to see some uniformity among my characters... even if it's mediocre uniformity, I guess. ^^;
