I think the female avatar looks way better than the new male one. Sure, the female avatar looks like a librarian with backpains, but still better.
The male avatar looks like a gorilla with pants made out of wet sealskin. The stance makes him look like he is on his way home from the pub too.
All in all, I think it was a nice upgrade, but it needs a bit more work in my opinion. Make sure the tailor gets over here and do something about his hideous pants. And the shoes looks like old iceskates that has its blades removed.
Looking forward to an update on the avatars! :)
