The bathroom wainscoting, or the generic background from the honeymoon ei might work for a school.

Sounds good, Long!

BSW. Love the cornucopia. Head looks good, as does the cape. Not sure about the clothing, the pumpkins or the gold. Background probably okay. Let me think a bit and post some illustrations.

I'll try that out now. :o

HamletSpamlet 12-27-2014 07:22 AM

Ah, and there's that podium with the book on it from Basement Dweller.

I love the lipstick on that Modern Christmas Present. [lol]

Dystopia 12-27-2014 07:25 AM

oh! Good idea!

Cardinal Biggles 12-27-2014 07:36 AM

Podium is a great idea.

BSW: Here's something I quickly threw together, not as something you should copy, but as a sounding board for my vague thoughts:

Ignore the skin, I just needed something to cover my transparent body

Edit: oof, I forgot the wood, like dystopia has. But the table is more important.

Dystopia 12-27-2014 07:37 AM

How does this look? :o

---------- Post added 12-26-2014 at 11:38 PM ----------

Oh shoot, I just realized that the podium covers my candle. :c

HamletSpamlet 12-27-2014 07:41 AM

Oh dang, yeah that's much more important than the podium.

Maybe use the wall with the window? And show some snowy trees and such outside?

Dystopia 12-27-2014 07:42 AM

How's this? I can have a winter scene outside. :3

Cardinal Biggles 12-27-2014 07:44 AM

Looking good, Dys. I wonder if it's too much stone though, for the background. Maybe one of the other window backgrounds?

Dystopia 12-27-2014 07:48 AM

hmm. I tried the one in the Honeymoon EI, but they layer weird with every fireplace. :c Do you think I should try one of those anyways? xD

Cardinal Biggles 12-27-2014 08:14 AM

Yeah, maybe. I have one I did with the honeymoon background that I felt was schoolroom-ish, but I don't want to impose too much on people's creative process...

Dystopia 12-27-2014 08:17 AM

Can I take a look? :o

Cardinal Biggles 12-27-2014 08:33 AM

Sure. Not very elaborate, but it might look better with an avi in it:

Dystopia 12-27-2014 08:39 AM

ooo. That does look good, I'll just toss in some books and it should look great. What on Earth is that outside background tho?

HamletSpamlet 12-27-2014 08:39 AM

Haha, the floating unders. [lol]

I think that's that one weather CI?

Dystopia 12-27-2014 08:40 AM

Oh, you're right. :3

---------- Post added 12-27-2014 at 12:41 AM ----------

Oh. I just realized that this fireplace and the stone wall both come in different colors.

I'm an idiot.

I'm done!

bloodstainedwings 12-27-2014 10:33 AM

i was trying to represent to feast and foods of the present that he has with the gords and stuff. they are winter foods, so i thought it made sense. i dont remember there being any flowers in his harvest, and it wouldnt make sense as they would be out of season... but if you would prefer flowers as part of my entry, i can change it.


this better?

http://i.imgur.com/ySLn9vn.png

I kept the gords, but removed the pumpkin and added the apples. i was going for the super traditional image of him sitting on a pile of food. if we had a torch item, i would have him holding it. but we dont.

~LONGCAT~ 12-27-2014 07:23 PM

Um working on mine. Tylosis?

HamletSpamlet 12-27-2014 10:34 PM

bsw - The flowers were probably in reference to this picture

http://www.booksillustrated.com/gfx/158426.jpg

I don't know what that guy chilling in the bushes there is doing in there though... o_o But anyway, you could probably remove the plants if you wanted, you have a good amount of food filling in the bg. Also, one of the Halloween EIs has a lantern staff if you wanted to try that.


LongCat - Maybe add the chains from basement dweller? You look pretty good to me. You could also try an all white suit?

bloodstainedwings 12-27-2014 10:44 PM

... what about the the giant matchstick? do you think it works?

HamletSpamlet 12-27-2014 10:48 PM

Oh, I didn't even know about that item. Looks good to me!

bloodstainedwings 12-27-2014 11:32 PM

oh sweet. anything else you think i should change/adjust/add?

HamletSpamlet 12-27-2014 11:48 PM

Hmm, maybe a shirt with sleeves? I think it looks pretty complete, though you could wait for someone else's input.

Angel Spirit Girl 12-28-2014 12:00 AM

And sandals or green boots for him, too. Christmas Present did not go barefoot, I think.

Or at least that robe is showing too much leg in my opinion.

But then I'm not good at making outfits.
