Because of a stupid cock-up, I lost my original Milgeek avatar drawings. So I have started to recreate my cartoon alter-ego from scratch in Adobe Illustrator, and here are the first two finished examples.

Here is my basic Milgeek, I've taken the opportunity to improve the beard - which I was never really happy with in my initial drawing. I am not sure about the skin tones, they may be a little on the yellow side, but if I remember correctly the example I based these new drawings on was my 'Commie Ranger' avatar which had a Chinese/Vietnamese theme.

I hope to produce a whole range of these avatars, for use on this site and on forums I visit. And eventually I hope to expand the avatar to be a complete character, with a body and everything!

My second example is a full avatar with background, ready to size for use in the 'Red Alliance' forum. I really find the huge Russian Army dress hats very comical, so couldn't resist an attempt at producing one for my character.

I'd like to create an avatar in this style for the whole Team AKA membership, that would be fun.

Be interesting to do a little character to match all the uniforms that I collect for my airsofting. I may end up with a little army of these fellows, all in various camouflage.
