Does this pass inspection? Since my Ball would be the focal point, the monocle and mustache were the defining traits of my avatar. Was wondering if that was okay.

So long as the monocle is not a prop but part of the ball itself (such that the eye can move over it) it should be within the standards.

[quote](such that the eye can move over it)[/quote] Sorry, would that mean that it should be part of the Ball's "background" and if the eye moves to a different spot the monocle stays where it is? I was thinking that the monocle was almost part of the eye itself, that it would move where the eye moves.

It does have to be part of the background. If it moves with the eye it is a prop. That's a rule taken right from Polandball. A monocle starts off real simple, and then it's a hat, then it's a suit, next thing you know someone wants to be a dragon curled up in a ball. (Not even kidding about that last one. That happened.) Eventually what we end up with is nothing like the "ball" art-style. Someone once started a similar thing over on a 343 fan site after seeing it on here. It took people all of a few hours to go crazy.

Ok, thanks. I'll experiment on how to make the background cleaner to work with the rules as well. I originally didn't want to draw the intricacies of 343 Guilty Spark to top off with the monocle and mustache and made it a bit simpler, but I've got an idea now. Thanks for the help!

No problem at all. I know one way people have gotten around stuff is by drawing whatever character they want on the ball instead of pretending their ball is the character. Imagine a big picture of your mom tattooed on your face, and also yours eyes can move over it without disturbing the tattoo, and also you're a cartoon ball.

Very interesting way to put it, but it definitely helps my mind wrap around the concept. Awesome! Thanks for the help, as always.

Yep, both monocle and mustache are on my avatar anyway. (Monocle is a bit hard to see on 343) Thanks!

Should be good then. Nice avatar by the way.

Thanks! Credit goes to Index for it.

Index does make good ones.
