Flea, I hate to sound rude, but my thread isn't really for rates on dream avatars. This is a contest thread, and the avatars that you're seeing that are being posted in the thread and that are being asked for critiques on are the contestants wanting opinions on their actual entries. I mean, normally I wouldn't mind if you came in and asked for an opinion every once in a while, but I've just seen you ask for rates and opinions on your dream avatar and the past couple of MACs about five or so times in the past two pages DX I would suggest perhaps following Cami's advice about making a thread in the Subforum for all of your creations. Every time you come up with a new one, put an update and see what people have to say about it. It can be your avatar dump where you keep all your ideas.

Sorry Seiki. I got confused. I shall not have it happen again. This is a cool contest thread though :D.

I am once again, very sorry for my selfishness. Please forgive me?

also, reworked a thing... it's still pretty rough, needs more work methinks... suggestions?
http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/o...invos/wave.png
any better than it was/than mah current?

This one definitely looks much, much better than the last one.
It's more balanced and the colors aren't all over the place as before. :3

Pietro 05-17-2009 04:02 AM

I like your current avatar better slowtrain. That blue one is not very interesting to me.

Rylynne 05-17-2009 04:04 AM

H'okay~ Hi peoplez. :3
Still sick, but definitely not as sick as I thought I was gonna be due to last night. ^^;; So, I'll give avatar making another go. =P

In the meantime... could I possibly get more comments and suggestions on this? =O <3<3

http://i44.tinypic.com/15663px.png and http://i40.tinypic.com/2crq4r8.png

First one is a simple try. Gonna expound on it more, but I feel limited by the mask's red beads. D: So, I can't help but add red somehow. ;_;

Second one is something more abstract. :x Instead of the usual white/black/gold/silver highlight, I tried peach. xDD;; Needs work, but the result isn't too bad, I guess...? >.>;;


Pietro 05-17-2009 04:08 AM

I feel like if you added the top hat, and the body from the 2nd avatar to the first avatar, it'd be great. Your first one is too green and your second one looks blind.

Rylynne 05-17-2009 04:16 AM

If my first one is too green, I could take that as a compliment, because it is the "Green" challenge, after all. xDD;; And I'm confused, because you mean that I should add gray with the top hat? That would just throw it off and take away from the "Green" challenge. ^^;;

*continues to work*

Drats, my drafts mostly always end up as the last post in a page. D: </3

Siri 05-17-2009 04:58 AM

@Rylynne: I actually like the second avatar better. It looks really good, except for the face. For some reason, the glasses don't look that great with the contacts. I dunno... if I were you, I would get rid of the black/green contacts altogether. You don't have black anywhere else in the avi anyway, so it doesn't throw anything off if you get rid of them.

The necklace is also somewhat distracting. I don't know why because it matches the color scheme perfectly... but for some reason I just keep staring at it and it grabs too much of the focus. Can you add the green clover pin there instead or does it not layer correctly with the tie?

Eserel 05-17-2009 05:10 AM

OHSNAP IM DEAD.

@slow;;
i really think that your old blue avvie was better
the new one
even though its all oceany and more focused colors
doesnt have the same flow

slowtrain 05-17-2009 05:21 AM

D:
I kinda liked the old one better too, it was all flowy and such, but the judges kept saying it wasn't working

Pietro 05-17-2009 05:24 AM

SLOW!!! This avatar you have now is my favorite! the edgy hair works better than the pony. Please keep the green, *ish devastated*. Seriously, I love it, but if you want your old avatar, you can. That avatar is still great, but I like the green one more.

Rylynne 05-17-2009 05:26 AM

@ Pixore : Thanks for the advice. :3 I initially added the green/black contacts because I just wanted some sort of green eyes in my MAC, seeing as we still cannot change eyes there as of yet. xDD;; As for the green clover hairpin, I tried it, and it layers over the tie, yes, but it blended in too much with the top that it was useless to put it in. ^^;; So, I tried something different instead:

http://i41.tinypic.com/2u8vv9t.png

Editing is bad right now, as my Photoshop sucks, so, I'll fix the glasses part more later on if ever I decide to use this as my entry. ^^;;

Also tried something new for the Goodwill challenge. =O
http://i43.tinypic.com/fcjxjd.png
It's a work in progress, but I wanted to give it a go. ^^;; The Assassin skirt's hem could pull itself off as something looking tattered-ish. ^^;; And yes, it's under 3,000g, even though I can't find a way to balance off the grays for now. D:


So... comments? :3 <3<3 Lolz. 8DD;;
And Ese, why're you dead?! o_O;;

Eserel 05-17-2009 05:27 AM

:/
well if i was a judge i'd say it was

CAUSE CHERRY KILLED ME
i like hte good will avvie

Pietro 05-17-2009 05:28 AM

Both of Rylynne's avatars are full of win.

Rylynne 05-17-2009 05:29 AM

slow, I think I like your old avatar better in terms of flow, because the water headband + priest water sash thing swooshing in the same direction throws me off for some reason. ^^;; But, this newer one looks... I dunno, I like it, but I also don't, lolz. xDD;; Sorry I'm no help. ;_;


Edit: Thank you, flea. ^^;; <3

Pietro 05-17-2009 05:32 AM

Yep :D They are whimsical :D

Rylynne 05-17-2009 05:36 AM

@ Ese : Think gray eyes will be enough to balance the gray? D: And are my greens okay? Cause, I just noticed now that they don't match completely. x_x;;

And Cherry killed joo? ;_;
AM I TALKING TO A GHOSTIE ESE THEN?! :'D <3<3
I've always wanted to talk to a nice ghost. 8DDD:;

@ flea : Whimsical? =O Interesting... xDD;; That description never crossed my mind, actually. 8DD:;

Eserel 05-17-2009 05:40 AM

Well i see theme
it doesnt have to be perfect
its good will
you get second hand
not brand new set
you get what you can and put it together
it matches but doesnt
but it works
just like any other irl outfit would

Siri 05-17-2009 05:43 AM

@Rylynne: I like the revised green avatar you posted.
It's definitely much improved over the last one~ :D

That being said, the goodwill one is made of win. I love it. :heart:
If I were you, that's the one that I would use for this challenge. And to add some gray toward the head, I would try adding earrings, as they're cheap. I think the silver celestial eardrops might work well, but there are some others you can also try out.

Good luck! :3

Rylynne 05-17-2009 05:55 AM

@ Ese : You're right. =O Thankies for that, cause what you said totally makes sense. xDD;; I was just scared because this is Mene and matching is usually loved. ^^;;

@ Pixore : Wow, thank you for your compliments. =O <3<3 I'll try the earrings then, even if I only have 50g leftover to spend, cause that one is 2.95k, lolz. xDD;; I'll see what I can do though. :3

And thankies for the luck! ^^
*goes back to the MAC*

slowtrain 05-17-2009 06:24 AM

kay, well
did some editing on this thing:
http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/o...nvos/wave2.png

and made this thing (second hand challenge):
http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/o...econdhand2.png

so, is it worth working more on either of these or is my current better?

Rylynne 05-17-2009 06:34 AM

@ slow : I think I like your current one better, but I dunno, the first one in your latest post could work more if there were some darker shades down below, like dark teal or something (even though I dunno how you could fix that). ^^;; <3<3


Anywho, I have to leave to get new glasses (waahh x_x), so I'll be posting a bunch of avatars that spawned from the Goodwill challenge. They're the same, sorta, but I'm debating if I should go for the glasses or the earrings, since sadly I can't have both. D: </3

Soo... red or green...? xDD;; Lolz, that's so Christmas-y. @[email protected];;

And just for a refresher, should I attempt more on the ones on top? Or should I meddle more with this one instead?
http://i41.tinypic.com/2u8vv9t.png
I like it, but I dunno. @[email protected];; Lolz. xDD;;

Fiziali 05-17-2009 08:11 AM

Rylynne, I like the one in the green with the earrings better, personally, though it's too bad you can't have the glasses and earrings both, because I really like them both, hehe.

For your other avi, is there a pair of socks that matches the green in your avi's hair, to add a touch of that color green to the bottom part of your avi? Or, I know there is a pair of stockings that color. If you go with the socks (assuming they are available) or the stockings, you could also put that gold ankle band thing around her ankles to keep the gold balance.

I am going to be keeping an eye on this thread a while to figure out how things work, as I would eventually like to participate in this. This whole concept just seems really awesome and I like a good challenge! ;)

Paprika 05-17-2009 01:07 PM

The glasses just seem to fit the challenge more imo, i dunno why it just seems to fit. XD

And don't forget if you want both you can always try to borrow from someone :)

I myself only have the gold/black glasses but i am sure there are some silver ones sitting unused in an invo out there XD

Thats another thing i meant to put out there, if anyone wants to borrow stuff I don't mind lending out. :)

I guess i just have to take a screenie of my invo at some point o:

slowtrain 05-17-2009 01:29 PM

okay, options!
xD

basically I'm going for a sort of tree spirit warrior thing, even though the challenge is just to make a green avatar, it sort of started turning out that way and I like it

and I've just tried out different nature/tree related background type items to see what they look like
(plus trying different hairs)

http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/o...s/44713-14.png http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/o...44713-10-1.png http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/o...s/44713-11.png http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/o...s/44713-12.png http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/o...s/44713-13.png

so basically... any last suggestions and what looks best?
(and should I work on my water avatar some more instead? xD )
