I'm actually making avatar edits! =O

I recolored the hair on one... Made the light source less visible (on purpose). Wow, I'm really getting into this, lol. And I'm even recoloring the avatar eyes for the outfits. This is fun. (And I'm learning a lot about shading in doing this, so hopefully I'll be able to finish my pixel doll base soon!)

:lol: While you guys make colorful avvies I am hear making monochrome ones. :lol:

Oh well. xD I don't really feel like playing games with my inventory right now.

Insane Cricket 09-09-2008 04:06 AM

I'm using the MAC and then just making edits using paint. ^^;;

So I've been playing around with the options, and these are my two favorites thus far.

Suggestions/ratings would be wonderful... I'm leaning more towards the pink, orange, and yellow one, but I can't find any handheld items that match the colors.

Edit : I'm also curious what people feel represents 'tie-dye'...

applicious 09-09-2008 05:00 AM

I like the first one better, but that's only because any pink/yellow/orange avvie I see will probably remind me of Winter's admin pick one.
It's the combo of the tank-shirt, skirt, and belt that's hard to avoid when using that color scheme.
=/

Abis 09-09-2008 05:01 AM

...I don't think I ever saw her avvy.

-stopped paying attention for a while-

My main problem with the first one is the hair color... None of the hair colors match the green, blue, or yellow colors I used.

XD

Insane Cricket 09-09-2008 05:11 AM

I much prefer the first one as well. This was my first attempt at that color combination, though I've made several others.

Played around with the colors a bit to try to help it out.

How'd you get rid of the bun on that hairstyle?

applicious 09-09-2008 05:18 AM

I think she edited it on Paint or something.

This challenge is really hard if there can't be any gold or whatever.
<_____<;;;
The MAC I came up with had so much little gold on the items.
T____T

I edited it using paint. It's really easy to do. By the way, I much prefer your first version of that avatar.

Okay. Last one, I swear. Is the top too cluttered compared to the bottom, and is the lack of green at the bottom terribly noticeable?

And, I hope the gold in the hairpin doesn't matter...

Just a lot of the golds look the same as that bright yellow, so I don't know what counts.

XD

Edit : @ Cricket : I kind of did, as well...
But the hair thing really bothers me, so I'm trying to work around the ugly (I mean non-bright) colors of hair.

applicious 09-09-2008 05:23 AM

Whoops.
I'm really bad with genders.
I think I'll refer to people as 'it' now.

edit;;
@Abis;; I liked the second version better, but take off the earrings.
I don't really think they're necessary.

Abis 09-09-2008 05:28 AM

Meh, I give up.
I need to stop putting off my homework with this competition.

I'll fix the avvies up tomorrow.

Seiki Nova 09-09-2008 06:43 AM

I fixed the whole part about who is a contestant. I forgot to add in PC's username and Snow's avatar xD

To whoever asked about the silver/white accent, I'd say if the silver is light enough then it shouldn't really pose a big problem as many white items have a gray/silver tint to them anyways, but a dark silver/gray item would be marked down by me personally.

Insane Cricket 09-09-2008 06:45 AM

That was me who asked about silver. I was asking about the lighter silver color anyways. -Nod-

I'm working on a few avatars for the contest right now. We only choose one of those avatars to be judged, correct? And since photoshop is listed as a means to make avatars, I assume it's safe to make edits to hair etc.

Edit: Also, would it be alright if I made an edit to the hair (color-wise) and offered it for others to use in the contest as well? I dunno if I'd be able to do it successfully, but at least one other person is having trouble with the non-brightness of the hair colors. =S

Just asking.

Paprika 09-09-2008 12:03 PM

IMO, you should go with the hair colors and styles provided because otherwise people would get an advantage over the other etc ;P its a part of the competition too ya know! Find the right hair/color etc <3

Insane Cricket 09-09-2008 12:12 PM

Well if photoshopping is allowed, then why can't I recolor hair to make it look right with the avatar? It's not like I'm creating all new hairstyles or anything. I'm just changing the color.

Paprika 09-09-2008 12:20 PM

Because the haircolor could be the thing that makes it work in the end and not everyone can photoshop and i doubt you have the time to photoshop for EVERYONE but i guess you'll have to wait for seiki to say yes/no @[email protected]

Insane Cricket 09-09-2008 12:54 PM

I don't use photoshop. I use paint, and I have a lot more time than you think.

I was only asking permission to let others use an edit that I've already made regarding the color. I know people might want the bun taken off of female 7. It's the easiest edit to make, but a lot of people don't know how to. I'd be more than willing to edit the bun out for anyone and everyone who asks, if Seiki approves.

And I'd only be offering what's within my capabilities. Which I'm still learning with shading etc.

Mascot Sith 09-09-2008 02:33 PM

The contestants are the some ones from the last one
-_-

Paprika 09-09-2008 03:31 PM

Not really o_O

Snowberry 09-09-2008 03:42 PM

Seiki already answered the question in the Q&A up front. So no need to bite anyone's head off. :3

a: Congratulations! No, entries will not be counted against if you use the MAC, your own inventory, paint, photoshop, or whatever option you choose to make the entry.

It's to show people's creativity and just because someone makes edits doesn't mean the competition is at a loss. ;)

Paprika 09-09-2008 03:54 PM

I didn't bite anyones head off o_O

Kyou Blade 09-09-2008 03:57 PM

Ok! Thanks everyone for the help! I don't know if Aqua is considered blue or not. Or if is just supposed to be solid, royal blue. In any case, here's what I have now for each one. Those guns are quite useful XD

I need to stop using legwarmers >.>

Snowberry 09-09-2008 04:01 PM

Paprika~ I didn't mean literally. XD Although that would be kinda fun and creepy to walk around headless with chomp marks...o.o

Kyou~ The belt in the 2nd and bow on the first I'm not particular about. But that's me. ^^;
