Changing my avatar in a bit though, so I just left a Tinyurl.com link to make things easier for the both of us. XP <3<3

I know you've changed your avatar a bit since this version. Do you want to upload a new image, or shall I just give this one crit?

Okay, let's see here...

Well, my first impression is that this is a nice avatar, but it gets kind of muddy looking if you just glance at it without taking in the details. The brown and black don't contrast each other well enough, and the green you picked to work with isn't high contrast either, so all in all, I think people could easily skip past this avatar without a second look. It doesn't have the immediate wow factor that many of your avatars have. :yes:

I think you should go ahead and remove the gold accents and replace them with silver instead. I think that would help with overall cohesiveness. So the belt and the peacock wrap should go. The tiny bits of gold on the skirt and boots aren't that bothersome, but when you start introducing more tiny bits of gold, they seem like they're misplaced.

I'm not a huge fan of the head item combination. I've always hated those hats, but unfortunately I can't think of anything that might work better...

Actually, why not try either Trick's Headband with the same rose hairpin, or maybe go with the green laurels from the Mystic Faun CI, with a black and white hairpin - maybe the Romantic's Black Hairpin?http://images.menewsha.com/items/thu...17e7775e0b.gif.


Now I've gotta get to work. I just wanted to reply to you. XP

Thanks for the advice, Sizz! xDD;; <3<3
I actually based the avatar around the hat, since I never use it and I wanted to try it out. XP Not particularly fond of it either, but oh well. XP

Sizzla 09-01-2010 02:45 AM

Sorry guys, I've been super busy! And life is about to get crazier since I'm about to head out on a road trip. I'm quoting these posts so that I remember to go through and give advice on them tomorrow when I've got some downtime at work. :yes:

First of all, I hate the mouth. I always have disliked that mouth, and it makes the avatar so unappealing to me. :(

I think I'd remove the shoulder wrap, and maybe exchange it for a black one instead. Then add black stockings, or maybe just do black fishnets/fencenets over a pair of pink stockings that match your dress. Some black short gloves (maybe the punked gloves) with red bracelets (cherry gumball bracelets) would be a nice touch I think. I think you could also use some black earrings. :D

You're mostly naked! XP But that's okay. It works for this outfit!

I think the armlet and the gold bracelets are too much. I'd go with one or the other, but not both. If you want to do the armlet to get that blue and green in, then perhaps you could just do some normal gold bracelets that wouldn't interfere too much with the armlet.

I think you should switch your choker to the black/gold one, as the silver really stands out from the rest of the outfit.

I really like the simplicity of this avatar, so I don't want to tell you to add more items, even though I could make some suggestions. I just think that it's pretty nice as is, and I don't want to clutter up your nekkedness with more stuff. :D

Hmm... There are a few strange things going on with this avatar, so I'm not really sure where to begin. :sweat: Can you tell me if you're going for a theme of some sort here? If so, can you explain? I think the gold sash definitely doesn't work with this outfit. There's no other gold anywhere in your avatar, and it kinda seems randomly thrown on.

I like where you're going with the light blue stuff at the top, so I think that's what I'd start working with when reworking this avatar. I think you should try a light blue/black/white/gray color scheme instead of trying to incorporate gold and brown. :yes:

I'd remove the wing straps, the brown skirt, the sash and the orchid shirt. For a shirt, maybe one of the white space tops (any cutout shape) with a light blue bra underneath. Then you can add some black by putting on some shoulder puffs or something. Then you can keep the black skirt, and maybe put a light blue skirt underneath it if that's possible. If not, some light blue stockings would probably do the trick to get that light blue at the bottom of the avatar. Then I'd add some silver tribal anklets. :yes:

Some silver/black jewelry would be nice as well. I think I'd have to see some things changed up before I can give you any more advice on this one. :yes: I hope that wasn't too harsh. :sweat: I just think this avatar isn't very cohesive.

For the most part, I like this, although I'm not sure I like the hair color, as it blends in with the fiery hand too much. I also think you can remove the fan, as it's not really adding anything to this avatar. I think without it, it'll be more simplistic. I also think that the headband (the yellow/green one) doesn't go. You should just remove it IMO. It doesn't add anything to the look for me. :yes: Switch the silver tribal choker with a gold one, or maybe try to find a light blue necklace that could bring out the water shades in the rest of the avatar. Or actually, even a green necklace the color of the clovers could work. The green clover necklace maybe? ;D

Welcome back! :D

I still want to see trick's headband. I've yet to see this avatar with it, and I have wanted to see it since the beginning. It would add some white to the top of your avatar, which you need a bit more of.

I really don't like the monocle, and I don't think it's bringing much to the outfit. I think it's distracting to the eye -- my eye always gets drawn to it first, which is not a good thing IMO, because the monocles are wayy too thick-rimmed and look weird to me, so I've never been a huge fan of them.

The addition of the stage is nice, but I think you should add silver tribal anklets to give the feet a bit more pop. The shoes kind of blend in to the floor, and that irks me slightly, so I think adding anklets would help. :D
