With the progress that was made with Fogahn, I decided to use that character to represent this account as a wicked looking avatar. In the past, I've simply used a black Texan flag as an icon, so I mixed the two. The glowing orange underneath was supposed to play off of the link to the name "Phobotech" above the image.
With Fogahn as the base, this was the first.
...But after rocking that for almost a year, I began to look fondly back on the original helmet design, seen here. I began tinkering around with a variant icon that was closer to that design. My favorite colors being blue and silver, the second icon came out more like something out of GI Joe...not what I was going for, but it was on the right track.
I began tweaking around the helmet designs and tinkering around with color choices, until finally I had a great King Fogahn icon that I used to represent "Phobotech." The third icon was one of my favorites.
But now its time for a change. I'm growing bothered by the armored half-halo that mounts at the chest and sweeps over the shoulder. I've been wanting to do a modern adaptation of the King Fogahn helmet for some time. I've done variants with helmets, with hats, with gas masks, with more spikes... Today, I decided to throw in a denim vest I've been wearing for years. Here's the fourth icon!
What do you guys think?

The newest one looks good, just zoom in a little... then it'll make a better icon.
Done! Thanks
I'm gonna take some time getting used to your new icon but it's neat.
Aye, for me as well. Thank you
Channeling a bit of Yoji Shinkawa I see.
In any case, it looks fucking rad.
Woah, I wasn't even remotely trying for that, but thats a huge compliment! Thank you!
Now you're cooking with gas ;)
woop woooop!
*furt* *fwoosh*
I don't know if it's insulting to say this, but your artwork in general is so much better than it was the last time I was looking through it, like a year and a half ago or something. This is great.
Good shit, dude. I'm glad you're still 'round these parts.
Thanks man! Same to you, and I hadn't seen you in a while. I hoped you hadn't drifted off into the ethers.
And that ain't insulting at all, man. If I'm consistently improving, then I'm doing exactly what I want to do. :D

Great improvement but I don't like how it looks as an icon. The added detail isnt really noticeable at that scale, I do understand those 'representation through icon' sentiments though albeit its not really the same with me.
in the same way my older juri (rip juri) icon had that smug smartass idiot face, this new one isn't as oblivious to everything i post and her face is well. I tried to capture an image that would best represent her reading what i type.
anyway, out of the 4 the fourth is the best aesthetically as far as detail and technical skill is concerned but theres something about the dim and smothered colors of the 3rd that draws attention...

Thank you, and I have to agree that I wasn't digging it as an icon at that cropping. I may do alterations to the whole design in the future so it looks a little better. In the meantime, its set as an extreme close-up to the mask.
