Positive: real men have beards and I wish my job didn't require me to shave mine.
Negative: No Battlemechs to be seen!

Rating: 6.5

Hikage Maru gets a 9.5, love the mix of old school and thought out artwork. ;)

Solid 9.  Love the use of a custom unit, and the insignia is very well incorporated into the whole.  Good coloring as well.  Nice!

Orion and a T-Rex duking it out is pure win to me so I give it a 9.0. It loses a point for looking a tad drab though.

The foreground figure looks substantial and kind of "live" as good anime tends to go for, rather than make attempts toward straight-up realism that inevitably come up short.  The mecha could move and I wouldn't be surprised, but it's hard to get the context of the background.

7.0 because I love armored Fighting Vehichles. Loses a few points for no background and having big yellow spots to break its camo!

5.5, the tires are solid, but the outlines on the vehicle really don't come thru and loses definition at normal resolution. The machine itself is a nice one and the camo is okay. :( Sorry.

6... for a decent looking suit, needs a different background as the grey blends things a bit too much.

I like it, but I'm still not as happy with it as I could be.

8.5, this was one of my favorite avatars of yours next to the Happy Hanukkah one, the character reference and framing were well done and have stood the test of time ;) If you want to upgrade my avatar, feel free :) I like the starred background that Hikage did for my sigbar :) If you need any base components from me, feel free to send me a PM ;)

7.5 - Nice artwork and posing, but the silhouette of the mech is indistinct against the logo and turquoise has no place on the modern battlefield.   ;)

I fell out of favour with heaven somewhere, so I'm here for the hell of it now...

I'll say 7.5, not a bad pic at all that one.  Even if it is some odd Clan thingy, and a
relatively obscure one too.  Well obscure by my reckoning.

10.  Because that avatar perfectly reflects the tenor and tone of your posts.   Is that Bernard Fox?  Because that is the voice I hear your posts in.  Fox or David Niven.

It is indeed the mighty Terry Thomas.

I was brought up on Ealing Comedies, and he was always a charming
rotter in them.  Dick Dastardly pretty much is a complete rip off of Terry.

Also 9/10 because shooting Dinosaurs with Orions in the face, tickles me
immensely.

I'd give you a 10 but for every time I see your avatar, I think it's the head of the alien from Predator. So you lose 1.0. Solid 9.0

7.0, its overly green with some black on the edges but it honors the CapCon so I will give it a few points for that. Just needs some color is all.

Interesting that you mention this.  I had colored it on my Mac, where it is more defined.  Looking at it on my PC laptop it is all washed out.  Always been a problem for me.

In that case, you get an 8 :) Nice image, but the lack of background means it's not perfect. ;)

Nice subdued Bird design, pretty much perfect for a unit patch. Just needs a slogan or unit name beneath it to make it perfect. I give it a 8.0.
