But seriously, I do love this shirt. I would use it more often if there were more items in this color. It's like an odd mixture of nature and caramel that just isn't available anywhere. Also, I love how bulky it is and I don't do big bulky items.

And your Snow White avatar is looking very snazzy.

So long as people are willing to let you borrow items it's free game. You're welcome to use the DAC as well if you want for your entries.

there is a lending tree up in avatar chat forum <3 good luck to all participants!

aww thanks Snow! Er, Suona! (Gorgeous cosplay. I have been meaning to comment on your profile but have had a bit of a goofy schedule lately and I keep derping when it comes to social niceneses. x_x;;)

Hi!
I have a wip. For Leo

And I know the background particularly the floor level, is there any item someone would suggest?
The hair was specifically chosen as it mimics the shape of Leo's astrological symbol seen here: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...px-Leo.svg.png
Also the sun is present as leo is a sign ruled by the sun. And the colour scheme is not only for the fact Leo is a fire symbol, but also because gold is its alchemical relation, and yellow is is zodiac candle colour :)
Also I gave subtle references to a lion, with a golden mane.

Soooo feed back pleaseee <3

I think if it were me, I'd go with a dark floor-- maybe the black sand from Reef Explorer, or the black gravel from Oriental Garden. I'd then try to tie the background to the foreground with red or gold stars or sparkles of some sort. But that's my method. You're looking pretty fantastic, though!

I'm with Wyrm on the black floor-- though I'd stick with the volcanic sand from Reef Explorer since the gravel texture is a bit more pronounced. I'm not sure how well it will go but there is an orange pose of floor level explosion in the Valentines fireworks. To also add something around your avatar in the colors you were really using with the rest of the avatar you might try the flames from the Celestial Alter item or the fireflies from Dryad's Hollow. :3

I'm also lacking something on the head....

I'm on my phone right now, but I'll post my two ideas shortly to show what I have so far. :33

I'm so nervous cause of who all the other contestants are. xD

Might I recommend the sparkles from the holiday wreath? I think they fit your color scheme, and it would 1) tie in the background, 2) give you something around the head, and 3) reinforce the lion theme by being kinda sorta mane-like!

Looks like Shadami made an avi just like Easty described

Seiki, you sure do love that potato dress

not on purpose xD I took my original. Leo design I did a few months ago and changed it up to be more inspired by the constellation itself.

Su, I do! Also, Shadami pinged me to a thing where the inspiration item was the ragged shirt. I love it!

Wyrm, just send it to the PM account in a private message. Just a link of the image and a short description of the avatar. And you have until the entry deadline on Thursday to update it if you decide you want to make any changes.

OMG I'm so glad you like it!!!

I made it so if people have assorted old items, IR not often used items it cousin help inspire me and others for new avatars. :)

The sparkles didnt work, any other suggestion. I think I need more orange up there.

Hows this, I think I may have cracked it?

I'm wondering .... if you switch the hair to orange instead? And put something yellow on the head instead of the orange kerchief.



These are my top two of my designs so far...

or this?

That wouldn't work, yellow has to be the predominant colour.
I tihkn the first one is best, but if you could merge the two together some how I think it would be even better :)

Whats better

a)


b)


c)


or

d)

@ Seiki - I actually don't even own that item! :O It would be a fun challenge.
That's true It's colors don't quite match
Thanks! :)

@ Mythos - You're very welcome! I love the sparkling sash with it. I need me one of those.

Awe Thank you very much! I'm really happy with how she turned out, particularly the background.

@ Shadami - I really like how you've got the background looking like stars and a sun and what not.
Also, I think the first verison is better. However, I don't really think that the blue flower hairpin fits. I see now you have a tiara, but I wonder if a gold crown would be suitable (lions considered kings)?

i like the golden flare crown. does that red headpiece with the beads remove it?

Shadami yeah, I think it does. I think it brings too much gold to my head. And it amkes adding any orange impossible.

Suona, may I ask for your opinions please?

i actually was trying to avoid that. Because I feel its about the constellation, not the lion itself. ^^;;
My description is something like "Using the power of the sun and its fire, Leos are the leaders, and warriors of this world. " Or something like that...

I'm having a heck of a hard time getting happy with the head. It's so hard to layer things nicely with that mane. but I want it darn it!!

---------- Post added 03-31-2014 at 04:06 PM ----------

could you actually humor me and get rid of the crown, and the kerchief? I'd kind of like to see it with just the red. To see what it looks like. xD

What's your theme, Eastyy?

And Shad, I'm not sure then

So uhhh...

I'm Gemini....lol (this is Maria)

Any suggestions?

Leo :)

Problem with that is that it the twin wouldn't have wings.
