This is the first animal avi I've ever rated!
whee
But because of this, I don't really know what items are/are not available to use as well as I know regular avis.
I like the intelligently mischievous look you are going for here. The brown with the black gives your avi a very earthy feel, but while being edgy, practical, and modern. The hair also adds to this with it's "perfectly coiffed" look.
To put it into one sentence: Your avi's got swagger and that's awesome.
I do feel that maybe you could add a little something to it though... maybe even just changing up the way the arms are posed to give it a little extra shape so it's not just standing there. I say that because the face is so expressive... but your avi isn't acting, you know? Even something subtle maybe held in the hands could add to it and maybe even make it funny.
Still--I like all the personality and color scheme that you've created so far!
7/10
(Sorry it took so long, btw--just wanted to give you a nice response so I took extra time looking into the animal bases)
