waffling

[ratcreature]

I decided my existing X-Men icons of Cyclops and Wolverine aren't really suitable for X-Men First Class, and that I needed an Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto icon. The only problem is that I'm not sure whether to icon Magneto!RatCreature with the helmet, which has the advantage of being recognizable, but otoh helmets don't work that well with the ears, and look always silly, or Erik!RatCreature, which is less easily recognized, but fits better with XMFC and whose look I prefer. So which do you like better for an icon?

Prefer the helmeted Magneto for easy identification, and the ears don't look that silly! But Eric rat is cute and if you exaggerate his hair slightly more it might give the helmet effect -- and you could draw his hand flat, so it's clear that the ring has not been tossed -- it will useful for those occasions when you want to emphasize your amazing mutant powers.

Heh, that's supposed to be his trauma-representing coin, not a ring, which I suppose would be clearer colored, because then the whole would be a solid gray.

Ah! I am so old-school comic that I haven't seen the film, yet.
