It's about time someone had the courtesy to ask for the gift of critiquery.
I'm really not going to bother with the first few. Frankly, they're two-dimensional and crap. Not really that much to critique over anyways.
The newer ones, though, show potential. They have that feel to them that you get when you see some more modern shows about teenagers (Cheesy? Sure, but it still stands, and in some ways, fits.) I get a lot of that feeling out of the way you manipulate the colors (Which you pulled off well, usually people try and it sucks--and sucks bad.) But it was used at such a size that it doesn't look like a tye-dye accident. Tye Dye is bad unless you're an aging hippy or a drug addict.
Your real strength is definately in avatars. At their size, it has a feels detailed and intricate, without some funky spiral design or something. You used the colors in such a way that it expresses an emotional overtone. This tends to catch people's eyes and hold them there for a while--You know you did a good job if people look at your stuff for a long period of time, this is kind of an indicator of artistic success.
Now as for what could do with some fixing up would be your signatures. They're somewhat random, and don't really seem as exciting. A lot of them are pretty bland. I'd say that the way to fix it would be to work mainly with photo manipulation--Not the kind of ones where you go "Hey, I look like a zombie now", but the kind where you take a photograph and crop it to the right size, and then play with things like brightness/contrast, hue/saturation, maybe a bit of brushing, and some textwork.

Just be glad you don't have to see my sketches from, say, two years ago. Not good.

I know what your talking about. I have sketchbooks under my bed that, unless I become stupidly famous and people want to auction them off, will never see the light of day.
