Rate my Avatar!

I just downloaded GIMP a few days ago, and I've been messing around with it, following tutorials and such. In the end I wanted to create an avatar, so here it is! Criticism is taken lightly here, so if it's harsh I will not complain! Rate out of 10 (_._ are accepted) and comments if you must.

Well, it is matching, but it does look a bit disgusting, but it is definitely a good start. Out of criticism for a first time person, 6/10 but please do not expect me to rate other work like this again.

It's kinda lame, but I do think you used a good font, and good colors. I give it a 4/10.

Lol, yeah. Like I said, I'm free for harsh criticism. Thanks for the comments though. Also it's temporary until I become better at making graphics, so the ratings are appreciated.
