I didn't quite know what you were until I checked the front page. That being said, I now know why you want the Indra's Storm. Although I would try my best to make an avatar without the item because I feel like using that item is a pretty easy way to portray a tornado. I love what you are doing so far but there definitely needs to be some movement in your avatar.

Items like the coal black saints sash that kind of moves to the side. The obsidian guardian tail also twists a bit.

Perhaps create the shape of the tornado - big up top and small at the bottom?

Simple can be good! As a mentor, I hope you don't mind me giving input :) If you don't want my input, let me know and I won't give it in the future <3

But this is all about natural disasters and even though you are a freeze, I feel like you look too happy and serene. A freeze CAN be peaceful, but it destroys the crops, kills animals, and ruins houses in the process.

I'll have to try the sash [yes]
What do you think of it now?

I added the flowers and ink to show more movement. Do you think the ink is too much? Also, I made the sky green, because that's the color it sometimes turns when there is a tornado

I also have a indra's storm

I had to check and see what you were XD I like the avatar so far. I think it definitely needs a ground of some kind. I'm just super picky though and really dislike the use of backgrounds without an accompanying ground because it looks incomplete XD

Hurricanes are something that I get here a LOT, living in Florida and all. I feel like it should look "darker" because hurricanes are so menacing and dark. I'm not sure how to get that other than the "Fog" from the EI "YOLO! LULZ...mommy T_T" from the 2012 Halloween Event. You could try that and see if it works, if it doesn't, nevermind lol

Seridano 06-16-2013 07:40 PM

I was basing the earth off the fact that the ground tends to do this during severe draughts.

Will take a look at Brainz though.

I feel as though the combo of the flowers with the ink blott makes it look a bit busy. I LOVE the idea of adding the ink blott because it starts small at the bottom and expands out at the top which makes me think of a tornado.

Maybe you could add the fog from the YOLO EI from the 2012 October Event. Not sure if it would do anything for the avvie but I feel it would give it a dark and mysterious feel.

Would you mind if I borrowed it really quick so I can ghost the hand items?

Zombie Pixie 06-16-2013 07:41 PM

I can definitely see that's what you were going for. It just makes me think of stone, not cracked dirt XD But again, that's just my preference and so you should go with what you like best :) If you add the dirt and it looks terrible, then yeah, definitely stick with this! lol

Seridano 06-16-2013 07:41 PM

Looking at the Brainz dirt now, it doesn't seem as deprived of moisture to me.
Choices, choices...

Do you think I should take the flowers off? (I added them since the go in that circular movement like they're being swept up by the tornado
Awesome! I'm glad the ink works :D I'll also try the fog.

Seridano 06-16-2013 07:44 PM

Anything else you think I should add? I'm contemplating turning it in like this in the interest of preserving the barren feel it has now.

I just personally think it looks cluttered but you should stick with what your heart is telling you :)

I think, sometimes, your first work is the best! If you over think it, it will get worse because you are second guessing. I think the combo of the sun with the "dead" items as well as the lack of clothing and the sweat makes me think of drought and I like that :D

You could try the sweat drop from the makin moar faces?

Zombie Pixie 06-16-2013 07:49 PM

Does anyone have the YOLO LULZ...mommy EI I could borrow? o:

Seridano 06-16-2013 07:51 PM

Yep, I'll send it over now.

Zombie Pixie 06-16-2013 07:53 PM

Seri you are a life saver <3

Maria-Minamino 06-16-2013 07:55 PM

Again, what I say are just suggestions but ultimately the final product is up to you guys. So take them as you will. Use them if you wish and disregard them if you wish :) I just make suggestions and it won't hurt my feelings if you tell me, "HELL NO" XDDD

I've always seen that was a way of emoting embarrassment (and I already have droplets for sweat), so I think I'll skip it. Thanks though.

Zombie Pixie 06-16-2013 07:57 PM

@Maria
Ended up adding the fog and some rocks and i like this better lol
Didnt like how any of the ground items looked >_< lol

Seridano 06-16-2013 08:00 PM

Which of these three variations do you guys like the best? Trying to figure out which hand item to use.

Did you try the grey stone item from The Dark Alchemist CI? It might match your background? Or the grey pebbles from the Oriental garden (there are light and dark grey)

I thought the sunscreen was a bottle of water XDD I actually like that one the best XD

Seridano 06-16-2013 08:02 PM

I was hoping it would be mistaken for a bottle of water. Just wanted to see if enough people thought it was since that works the best for outdoor travel.

What about the pool from the blood locust?
It has water and rocks

Seridano 06-16-2013 08:04 PM

I still feel like my entry is the least creative out of all of them, but I couldn't think of any other way to pull it off. xP
