Instead of picture reference, you can use words as mention, so your sentence still works if someone change their avatar. XD

Love the Leprechaun Dress. I have a suggestion, if you don't mind. What would it look like if you changed the gold belt on the emerald dress to the Irish color and make the clover gold?

@Liz - I'll try that :D I was also thinking of just doing a rose or a flower of some sort there instead of a clover and making it an everyday dress instead. Or just taking away that embellishment and having the sash.

@Xuvvie - HIIII <333 DO you have any suggestions for my shorts? *points to current project in the first post*

@Luna - haha yeah! The ones that are floor length but not kill me a bit XD

I like the clover, so I hope you do keep it for one dress.

@Liz - I like the clover too :D I just wish I had finished it in time for ST. Patricks Day D: :(

Understandable. But clovers aren't just for St. Patrick's Day.

@Liz - that's true!!! That makes me happy :D
I really like the dress - I hope I can make it look good enough to sell :D XD

From without zooming look.
the shorts look very dark... your shadow seems to OVERshadow it until can't see the wrinkles.
the middle vertical line is toooooooo straight. O_O
Besides, I think a bit of shade relativity would soften some hard lines.
Like beside shade 5, dither either one lighter shade(4) or darker shade(5). something like soften the edges.

Alrighty Xuvvie - I'll work on lightening it! I might just change to a different palette - it's difficult to work with the purple XDD Hard on the eyes after a while lmao

lol. There is the reason why I work with just black, white, gray at one time, JUST to get the shading pixels correct without bothering the color shades. then recolor to any pallette I like.

@Xuvvie - lol - I just like working with colors but I always end up defaulting to a red palette or gold XD

In this matter, there is no definite right or wrong.
use whatever it is easy on your eyes. XD

Haha okay! Red just works really well for me *uses it all the time in art because most of my OCs are red heads lmao*

I just want to post in here so that this thread will be bookmarked for me and I can see Maria's wonderful works in the future!

Aw thank you Jean :D Stop by and give me some critiques some time :D

I just have to remember to keep looking at the first post to see the updated versions of the outfits!

@Jean - well once I get rolling in here and start working on it, I'll post versions as I go so you can look back :D Or you can ask to see previous versions and I'll dig them up XD I just have too many to list XD

I know, it can get confusing with so many different versions.
Just as long as you don't get them mixed up yourself!

I save them in order by number. Like the red dress is saved as "dress 1, dress 2, dress 3," etc XD It's easier for me that way :D

One thing I don't like about window explorer in terms of arranging files according to name... 1 is followed by 10, 11, 12... then only 2, followed by 2 digits... *rolls eyes*

I know. You have to get in the habit of saying 01, 02, 03, etc...

@Xuvvie - yeah that does get confusing D:

I never thought of doing 01, 02 XD

all my downloaded manga starts with 000. XD 3 digits.
I use Irfanview to batch rename for some that somehow doesn't work the correct way.

Yup. If you think you're going to go past 99 in the counting, then you do have to go into the 3 digits. 001...010, 011, etc...

lmao I never thought of that *stupid* XDDD

I'll recolor and work on the shorts when I get home tonight and have access to the compu all the versions are saved on XD
