Stroke is fine if it's slight and faded, it's much better than a giant shadow facing one direction leaving random pixels scattered about.

The main problem with trying to make avatars based on historical sketches or images is that they are typically more length than width. The forum favors a more box shaped one, it's preferable if they were sized to prevent a weird ass result that's auto sized down.

Exactly why i need a new Swedish image for Skyz request..

The avatar didn't go great with this Fourms avatar scaling system..

But with Taleworlds i don't know i think it would look bigger then FSE's

Why do you just magic wand the unwanted space? It looks atrocious, man. Take the time, and remove the nasty space yourself. That's so lazy... Lol.

You have good pictures, that if you just erased yourself what's not wanted, they would look so much better.

Look at his left arm... Wtf...

Some harsh criticism, I know. But, come on. Idk how you can pass these off as good. Here, have a look at my work (https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=4431.0). It looks better when you take the time to erase, doing it yourself, not some dumb tool.

Well, if you go and look at your avatars, almost all of them still have non-erased pieces around the actual picture itself. What I usually do to help is this:

1: Make a "Background" layer, and paint-bucket it black.
2: Then, I add the picture in question as a forward layer, and use the black layer as a guide.
3: When i want to check how I am doing, I simply turn off the black layer, that way I can see what still needs to be done.

Note: Be sure to always have your picture on transparent when creating it. That way, when you turn off the background layer, you can see more clearly what still needs to be done.
