Once you hit tan, you'll never go back.
 
I'm talking about the avatar bases, of course. xD <3 Ever since I started using the number 4 female base, I have not once gone back to a lighter colored skin color on avatars. I just didn't think it looked right. O.o


So, is there any base/hair color that you use and never change at all?

Tre Le Coco 07-30-2008 06:26 AM

Im with you! i use #3, i can't go lighter, it looks un-natural and scary (mind you, i am the one who did those colours, but thats beside the point)
I stick to black hair and usually the same style, this troll hair is an exception to my usual down locks because i look freaking sweet in it xD

I always use this same base...Number 1 I think. The palest one. I have a thing about pale skin, anything darker just doesn't look right on me. Another thing i often don't change, is this hair style. I change colours when it suits me, but i prefer this style.
I keep this eye style and colour too.

Rawrsaurus 07-30-2008 07:20 AM

I've always had the same hair mostly, though different colors. Haha, I was using the pale base before, but really like the normal one a lot more now. Barely a difference but I've been with it for like half a year now.

Wordstreamer 07-30-2008 10:14 AM

I keep a few hairstyles in the same color.... I always go for the palest base; everything else looks tan and kind of orange. (I get used to it; it's just a comparative thing.)

Knerd 07-30-2008 08:27 PM

I'm a #4 kind of girl, too. :yes:
I might go back to a paler shade in time for winter, but this tone just looks best for my warmer avatars.

I love the #4 skin. :yes: I almost always have it because I think it looks great with red/black/gold, which are the colors I usually use. I only use the palest skin with one avi of mine because tan skin looks weird with that one.

CK 07-30-2008 11:36 PM

Whatever skin color I'm in now is the one I use always. XD My avatar is vaguely based on how I look for real, and I am pale! XD Same with the hair - it's the closest color and style to how I wear it in real life. XD

Donna 07-31-2008 12:39 AM

I've always been using the tan skin. <3
I remember when more people used to use the lighter skin tones and there were a handful using tan, and only one or two with the darker skin tones.
But now, I see many more people using the tan. It's love. <3

I always stick with base #3 because I find it not too pale and not too tan. I never go for the lightest base in any avatar sites because I personally find it too light. It might be because I am a bit tan myself, from being outdoors so much xP

jellysundae 07-31-2008 04:58 AM

I like skin #4 too, I found it a little dark just after the port because I think it's a deeper tone than the previous tan base, but i've always prefered the warmer skin tone. Maybe because I'm so pale-looking in real life so it's nice to have an unattainable glow on here!
So while I switch between 3 different hair styles and colours;

female 8
unisex 6
male 8

in white, brown or the palest pink

I always stick to this skin tone :yes:

Ferra 07-31-2008 05:43 AM

I've never changed my skin tone after landing on this one, and I usually always sport super bright blue hair. :3 I'm just trying something different right now, but I'll probably go back to my normal color.

I think the goofy clothing combo still makes it look like me. XD *has a horrible avatar fashion sense*

Rusalka 07-31-2008 06:26 AM

I mainly use Skin base 1. Anything darker looks weird but I may vary to number to from time to time when too pale of skin looks weird. However.. that's normally the only thing that sticks the same.

Normally I also go for the narrower eyes as well, with normally angry eyebrows. At this time with this avi that would not go well so I varied the I'm going to glare at you look I usually carry. xD

Sizzla 07-31-2008 04:35 PM

hahha. I never change my base color. I'm always a #5 and I agree -- I think I look strange if I change my base color. And I never change my eye shape either. Always #3. :D I may change my mouth on occasion, but not very often. XP I dunno, I'm a creature of habit I guess. At least my hair changes on the regular, even if it's the same style, it's always a different color.

Cami 07-31-2008 05:41 PM

I actually only use skin tone #1 because I use a male hairstyle. XD I prefer the less pale tones, but if I want to change the color of my hairstyle, it automatically puts me back to skin tone #1 and I don't feel like having to reset it. Plus, if I'm trying to check how a color looks, it gets awkward fixing skin color, then fixing hair color, then fixing skin color again, etc, etc.

Tsuki-Chani 07-31-2008 05:48 PM

Yesh! 8'D I was stuck on the #4 skin
because I loved it so much~ very pweety and all.
it's different now--but I had it before a few days ago
when I finally changed it. @[email protected] it first felt really weird--not having tan 'cause it
matched nicely with the white hair meh avi had before. *^*
Oh wells. -shrugs- it's true. once you get tan--you don't go back- x)

ToriKat 07-31-2008 06:55 PM

In real life, I'm pale. I find it so boring. 8D So for my avatar, ever since the new base colors came out, I've pretty much stuck with number 4, male or female. I like having a tan base. I can cosplay as my friend's character - like I am now. I jokingly refer to him as a metrosexual version of her Mexican sex god.

*gets shot*


I also tend to stick to dark colors for hair colors. Not really a fan of anything pastel or too light. ^^;

amyrex2 08-01-2008 03:28 PM

I don't know, I like my pasty fish belly white. It is color to my natural sun hating complexion IRL. Smiles, I should get out more.

Mac 08-01-2008 04:31 PM

I use skin tone #3... And this brown hairstyle is the one I'm gonna keep for my whole entire time on Menewsha! I've only been here since yesterday (as you can see I'm still nakey) And i'm loving the whole concept and feel to this site!

ChibiTotoro222 08-01-2008 06:59 PM

I usually use three or four. 8D
Right now #4 because....I'm too lazy to dress myself and switch my gender back. >____>

Fabby 08-01-2008 08:20 PM

I always use the first base. If I change my skin it just looks weird. :\
I generally keep the same mouth, too. I am pouty.

I like to change my hair, though. But I tend to pick the same three or four hairstyles every time. -huggles unisex seven-

Dystopia 08-01-2008 11:12 PM

xD I just love pale skin.

I don't know why, but its alluring. >:

Melody 08-02-2008 02:11 PM

I've stuck with this skin tone. >.> it pretty much matches me IRL. XD I'm so pale. </3

Abis 08-03-2008 08:26 PM

I've always used the tan bases on avvies.
No matter what site I'm on.

I just don't like the pale skins in general, though.
I think the items look better against a darker base.

Purdy Possum Pie 08-03-2008 09:28 PM

I am 4 all the way as well. Its my favorite one and I do not think I could change to lighter and stick with it.
