Hmmm... I think this avatar looks pretty unfinished. Can you tell me what you're going for here before I try to give you advice? Is there a theme, are you trying to match, etc.?

Oh okay, and uhmm..well the theme maybe a peaceful/serene angel? xD
I just kind of liked the way all these looked together >_________________<

Okay, with your comments in mind, here's what I've got.

Remove the hairpin, waist bow, doll and monocle. All of these items seem randomly placed and don't fit with the avatar.

I'd change your hair to gold to match your gold jewelry.

Since you've got white, gold and silver going on once you remove the items I listed, I think that's a pretty strong start for a nice avatar.

I'd add a gold tank top from 52, as it'll layer under the space bra and help bring gold to your midsection. Add the Day Hairpin http://images.menewsha.com/items/thu...59f88c88f5.gif or the Celes Paradi Hairpin http://images.menewsha.com/items/thu...4476855c69.gif, as that will bring silver AND gold to your hair. :D

Then I'd definitely get some shoes in white or silver. Maybe the silver dragon heels? Our white shoe choices are somewhat limited, but scan through the shops and try things on to see what looks good. :yes: I also think you need a gold or silver necklace -- probably a tribal choker.

I'd really have to see it again at that point to give you more advice, but right now a lot of your item choices seem pretty random. :sweat:

Yes it was helpful. Now to get some more items to play around with for that avi.

Edit:
I did some playing around with the items I have. Is this better or should I just totally forget about adding in the orange?

The pink in the shirt doesn't work for me. And I do think you should remove the orange. It's just not working with the other colors IMO. I'd stick with light blue/ivory/red. :yes:

Which one is better? No one's looking at the item advice forum. D: Or should I not get the avatar at all?

I personally like the third one or fourth one. The third is my favorite I think. It's a nicely made avatar, and I really like the super shiny silver accents on the goggles. It helps the other silver accents on the avatar pop more, unlike the more matte silver accents on the goggles in the second avatar.

Honestly, there's not too much advice to give you. I think you've done a solid job with this one and adding anything else would kill the theme I think. :D

-Is back to Sizzla-
Oh great Sizzla, thank you for your help! : D
AND would you mind rating this outfit as well while I work on the other one? ^o^

Sizzla 08-18-2010 02:20 PM

Okay. :yes: Make your hair a bit darker to go with the wings. If you want colors, I can pull them for you. :yes:

Remove the petal floaties and the rose on your leg. The pink is randomly thrown in it seems, so I'd just go ahead and get rid of it. Remove the waist bow, stockings and slippers -- they don't go. Remove the brown feather on your head -- it's unnecessary and doesn't match. And it seems you're attached to the monocle/blindfold, and while I don't like that combo, you can keep it if you want. I'd just remove the monocle myself.

Once you remove that stuff, then you can rework. I'm going to recommend going with brown/white/gold as your color combo.

The belt is not the right shade of brown, so I'd change that to another brown belt -- the basic brown belt would probably work well. Then you can do gold stockings (the ones you have on now are not gold, they're yellowish) and brown shoes. :yes: Maybe the Wood Boots, Brown Olympic Sandals or Centurion Sandals. Again, I'd add a gold top under the space bra -- the gold tank from 52 would work, but there are also other tops you could use. :yes: Add gold bracelets and a brown necklace (tribal choker).

X---AznCo0ki3 08-18-2010 02:40 PM

Here we go Sizzla!
All better : D Thank you!
AND ohh yes the hair colours would be nice to get! ^o^
Thank you SO much! <3

Sizzla 08-18-2010 02:43 PM

Oh yeah, that's WAYYYYY better! It looks much cleaner :D Let me grab those colors for you. You may have to adjust them a bit...
Main: #43311F
Highlight: #9F7754

Maybe add some gold earrings? :D

X---AznCo0ki3 08-18-2010 02:46 PM

Thank you SOO much!
:hug: and okay! =3
I shall hunt the perfect earrings down! ^^

Sizzla 08-18-2010 03:11 PM

Not a problem. :D Lookin' good! I think you could still use a gold hairpin if you've got one -- starry hairpin maybe?

Skullushka 08-18-2010 08:20 PM

Thank you so much, Sizzla! c: I feel much better about the avatar now. <33

Sizzla 08-18-2010 09:32 PM

You're quite welcome! Glad I could be of service. :D

Ugh. I typed up a whole bunch of suggestions, then hit a button on accident and lost everything. T_T

Anyways, I'll try to be less wordy this time around. :lol: I like your avatar a lot, and I think with a few tweaks, it'll be really great. :D I hope you don't mind me making matchy/matchy suggestions, as that's what I think of first when I look at an avatar. Feel free to take or leave any of my suggestions of course. :yes:

First, you need to cover your belly, since everything else is covered. I'd go with a gray tanktop from 52: http://images.menewsha.com/items/thu...cefc96b239.gif

Then I'd change your shoes to a pair that are black with silver accents:
http://images.menewsha.com/items/thu...acfa06c86e.gifhttp://images.menewsha.com/items/thu...cf54b72c8c.gif (I happen to think these will be best) http://images.menewsha.com/items/thu...92c8dd8f3a.gifhttp://images.menewsha.com/items/thu...a272b57c17.gif -- Just try on as many black/gray shoes that you can find and see what you like. :D

Unless you want blonde hair specifically, I'd also change your hair to gray to match the gray skirt. :yes:

Then I'd add some jewelry. Instead of the ear cuff thing, I'd go with black and/or gray earrings -- the silver/black calliope earrings http://images.menewsha.com/items/thu...04156324ea.gif would be nice, or these http://images.menewsha.com/items/thu...f96bd3a238.gif. If you change your hair to gray though, maybe try some green earrings? We have a lot of green/gold, but not much green/silver, so there aren't too many choices. http://www.menewsha.com/images/items...79aa023710.gif http://www.menewsha.com/images/items...51efa08cf9.gif

Then, depending on what shoes you pick, you might want to add some silver tribal anklets. :D I'd also suggest this tiara, but in silver instead of gold: http://images.menewsha.com/items/thu...8f5ef5724b.gif

Green gloves might be nice, although I'm not sure we have any in the particular green you've picked... :sweat: This is the closest thing we've got I think: http://images.menewsha.com/items/thu...82df7593b5.gif. Though you could try the green harem sleevegloves too to get some added green in there. http://images.menewsha.com/items/thu...092aa159b3.gif

I think with those few suggestions, you'll be off to a good start.

I'd like to see a handheld in there too somewhere, but they're kind of hard to use with these pannier. :yes:

CrimsonShadow 08-20-2010 12:25 AM

Sizzla you are amazing!!! I'm actually saving up for the tiara you suggested and the scarab earrings! Man your good! lol. Do you think the White Rose Bouquet would work for a handheld item? To go with the white on my hat?

http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m...115/zshoes.gif
what about these for shoes?

Sizzla 08-20-2010 01:11 AM

The white rose bouquet certainly could work... Then I'd want you to put some white around your feet somewhere. But with those boots, which I didn't even think of, that could work really well! :D Did you try those boots on? I'll bet they would look pretty good. :D

CrimsonShadow 08-20-2010 01:16 AM

I tried them on and I loved them! lol.

I tried on the green harem sleevegloves to but they just didn't layer all that well and the green gloves you suggested didn't go..trying to find something. Those green leather gloves work but they cut out the sleeves on my coat and I love that part. Layering is so hard lol.

How's this color for my hair?

Sizzla 08-20-2010 03:07 PM

I thought the sleevegloves might not layer well... We need a better glove selection.

Your hair still looks a bit brown-tinged. Try these colors:
#3B3B3B
#AFAFAF

CrimsonShadow 08-20-2010 03:42 PM

The #3B3B3B works really good! Your amazing Sizzla!

Sizzla 08-20-2010 05:04 PM

hehehe. No problem! :D What browser do you use? I've got this awesome addon called colorzilla that lets you use an eyedropper to pick from any color on your screen. It's a good thing to have! :D

Heiyuu 08-20-2010 07:48 PM

Haircolors being an issue of mine, is this brown good for this outfit?

Sizzla 08-20-2010 08:04 PM

I like it, but I think you should go a little less red, a little more the color of your staff... It's more of a chestnut color I think. :yes:

Heiyuu 08-20-2010 08:10 PM

Like so?

Sizzla 08-20-2010 08:23 PM

Oh yeah, that looks nice! :D *thumbs up*

CrimsonShadow 08-21-2010 01:09 AM

Umm Internet Explorer, Windows? ^_^ lol

Sizzla 08-21-2010 01:18 AM

Oh, you should totally get Firefox. Mene works best on it. :yes:

CrimsonShadow 08-21-2010 02:05 AM

Ahh does it really? Cuz my internet does really suck lol.
