hmmm and their fishnet sleeves. I needed a black sleeveless to show off the tattoos. But not be some bright color to draw attention of people in the alleys. xD

I tried looking and I can definitely see where you're limited with options

Shadami 06-08-2014 08:20 PM

Okay so here is a couple ideas to make it seem more unafraid street kid camping in a city.

any improvements? Which one is better?

fireprincess 06-08-2014 08:25 PM

I do think the headphones makes it look more like a street kid. I think I like the middle one the best so far. I like the flashlight, but I don't think a street kid would mind being in the dark, so I don't think they need it. Maybe make the face look a little more mischievous?
Also, have you tried one of the smog poses from the basement dweller CI? (To darken up the sky a little bit)
It may be too much for it though

Shadami 06-08-2014 08:26 PM

Yeah it was to much. xD does the dirt look enough like smog? Or is it .. just.. not work?

steelmagghia 06-08-2014 08:28 PM

Perhaps a mechanic tank or a tank from Hot Gossip?

fireprincess 06-08-2014 08:32 PM

Yeh, that smog is definitely too much. I think the dirt was better. Can you put it on both sides?

Also, what if your street kid was in an old abandoned building and that's where they had their camp outs? Like one of the walls from something strange, or would you prefer to be out in the alley. I think it would look good either way

here's the second mouse as well. just to show.

OmG guys!! the superhero beam perfectly comes through the wall hole. xD

fireprincess 06-08-2014 08:38 PM

Yeah, I think that mouse layers weird with the green stuff.
Lol! That's so cool! It's like they're punking their local superhero XD

I think I like the wall [yes] If you wanted to remain out in the alley though, you could try adding like the bathroom CI background or something like that to make it look like you were outside in the alley, and the holes in the building show the inside?

Chexala 06-08-2014 09:35 PM

I like all the campers so far. [=3] I made one also, just for fun, and she is not having a good night. [twisted]

steelmagghia 06-08-2014 09:38 PM

That is definitely a bad night camping!

---------- Post added 06-08-2014 at 04:39 PM ----------

Unless anyone has any more suggestions, I think I'm pretty much done with mine. I'll probably wait until tomorrow to turn it in, just to see if anything brilliant pops into my head, but this is all I got so far.

This is why I tend not to post once the challenge has gone up >>

steelmagghia 06-08-2014 09:57 PM

I can understand that, Seiki, haha. It would be hard not to accidentally offer advice.

yeah i saw yours earlier. i love it!!

Do you have any advice for me? :3 [poke]

Seridano 06-09-2014 01:28 AM

I feel like my idea will either go over really well, or completely miss the mark and get me booted. I've also just realized that my camping experiences are very very different from most people. O.o

Maybe the Moody (green-ish) sunset instead of the blue one? That would better match the green items you already have.

It's too bad we don't have any trash cans that could layer over the alter fire. XD

steelmagghia 06-09-2014 02:24 AM

AND NOW I WANT A TRASH CAN ITEM!

"I'm a city kid, my friends and i don't like the woods, there are scary creatures like bears out there. But we still like to get out and camp, so a group of us will go crash in an alley, staying up late, maybe drinking a few beers, laughing and telling stories. It is still the big city though, so i keep my knife handy."

I think it's great that you're getting risky and going completely different from the typical, outdoorsy camper. I understand the purpose of the knife, but it's throwing me off. Perhaps it's too long...or perhaps it isn't needed? Your avatar suggests city kid, but not much of a camper. Maybe add a pillow and blanket in her hands? Make it look like she'll be sleeping outside and camping in the city. Not just hanging out at night in the streets.

Also, I love the changes you've made to your current avatar. It looks like she'll be staying in an abandoned building and is tuning out the creepiness of the city at night with her music.

Alrighty, so here is a new version with the lanterns, tree, and bush removed. I tried it with leaving the bush, but it still really looked like a jungle, and there was too much of the same color green in that area with the vines and tent.
So how is this one? Should I still do something different with the clothes?

I think she's looking great! I love that you can see the water in the background. It's like she's camping along side a lake or even a beach. :)

Awesome! [eager] I think it also helps explain where she got the fish [yes]
Do you have any other suggestions?

I know! It would just totally finish it out! [cry]

Shadami 06-09-2014 04:11 AM

So with advice i've gotten from all over. no one can see the knife as non ninja. so the knife is out. I'll go make that change. xD

steelmagghia 06-09-2014 04:27 AM

That makes it way cuter, Shadami! I like the pillow and blanket!

Shadami 06-09-2014 05:00 AM

okay. heading to bed. I might tweak it a bit more in the morning. And need to come up with a better tag along saying for it. Than urn probably will turn it in. :3
