Yours is fabulous, goes well with the border! I would say it's 9/10!
7/10 Would like back ground color instead of blank.
What is interesting is if someone changes their avatar the comment below could make no sense at all. LOL.
I have a outrageous I guess She-hulk one were her muscles get huge as the animation progresses. Including her ......uhm pecks if you get my drift. I am sure it will show up as my avatar sooner or later.
8/10: Avatar fits the pledge level

I like the background color. The detail on the bird makes me want to zoom in on it but it is small and I am left wanting,
8/10, would make for a nice emblem.
9/10 - the dragon on the chest in your avatar very closely matches the dragon on the shield in your sig
The border is gorgeous. Excellent representation of early medieval and Roman siege tactics.
