Yeah I really hate prank/ripped avatars, they make the search for good work so much harder, and in the end extremely few get rated. BTW keep working on the samus wurmdurmaliurm, It's looking good. Watch the armor patterns though.
I think we also need another way to organize the avatars. Y'know, like when you work like three hours on one and then it get covered up by prank avatars or other things that make the search for complex avatars extremely difficult. Maybe a cathegory that filters by number of brush strokes? or maybe time invested?
