I don't know about the kiss when it's the approach that's wrong rather than the looks. xD (Though I could say similar about the original Frog Prince...) But I do agree with everything else.

Great pick! Congratulations, Velvet!

Oooh Oooh, very nice! Good choice Jelly!

I do indeed love how the background makes the castle fit! Why didn't i think of that? xDD

That one made me laugh, too.

Congrats!

This...just You know what this looks like to me? The equine version of an extremely posh, rich and well-bred socialite, getting hit on by a slick flyboy from the 'hood. She totally does not know how to deal with it other than stare down her aristocratic nose in horror. xD If FroDonk takes just one step closer she's gonna be off like a shot!

And look at that background...I'm thrilled that we have a full sky that enables proper use of the fairy castle now, and the hill in front of it works a charm, doesn't it? A perfect fairytale look. OH!!

Maybe...maybe...

Maybe FroDonk is Prince Charming in disguise and it's all a test! Maybe she should kiss him after all!

I definitely agree with you on the castle thing! I was so excited when I saw Nephila: use it back in July that the castle could now have a full background, and it goes perfect with the new unicorns!!!

By the way, congrats velvet! It's a really funny avi, and I love jelly's description!!

OMG Thank you for remembering fp! T.T When I saw this win I was like yes...very clever. >:(

I do like what the unicorns add to it though. Congrats Velvet. :D

Of course! You definitely deserve the credit!! I hope you don't mind, I used it for my mule's avi (Angel<3) :3
I always give credit to you when I'm asked though I'm so glad you created that technique. I tried using it before, but just couldn't come up with something spectacular like it deserves when the unicorns came out I was like YES!! I immediately made an avi for it the very next day XD

Finally got a second star! Thank you for the pick! And thanks everyone for all the congrats!

This made my day. <333

And jelly, that was what I was going for. Poor Afrodonkey is waaaaay out of his league hitting on such a mystical creature. But he has to try, right?

Congrats my friend.

Yeah, I saw it originally on Angel
I'm not surprised Neph came up with it, though. She's very creative.

Lol I get that same feeling sometimes, neph!

Guys - sometimes multiple people can have the same idea without copying someone! I've seen it happen all the time. Especially if you run in different circles and don't really pay attention to avvies outside your group of friends.

I know! I'm always surprised by her creative avis! Her layering skills sometimes take it to a whole other level. I couldn't believe how well she pulled off the castle/sky/hill combo back in July, and just had to use it for my mule's avi with the unicorn <3

We know, and we're not accusing Velvet of anything, don't get me wrong. I just saw Neph use that combo way back in July, and she was the first one I ever noticed to come up with it. I just thought she deserved some credit too, since it was about 5 months ago when she created it

I didn't know Neph had discovered that combo back in July, I never saw that I saw it on fp's mule, too Neph, did you save the avatar that you made so we can see? I really love it when people find great new background combos, and I love it even more when it filters through and becomes a regular thing.

I wonder if there's any chance of getting the evil version of the castle to work as well...

TO THE DAC!!

...

I realise now that Velvet's avatar could actually be a pretty hard-hitting social statement, couldn't it. Privileged white girl and ghetto black guy, and so on...

congrats velvet! awesome av!

Congrats velvet! It is amazingly beautiful!

I have made similar avatars that other people have, like this one for instant, without knowing it. I knew the new CI had been released, got on and went straight to buy it and made my avatar before I had even seen everyone else's. But there are also difference between mine and everyone else who choose to make a similar avatar using the same items and I am sure the same can be said between Velvet's and Nephila. Everyone has their own style. I wish I had seen Neph's, because I am sure it is lovely!

I don't think anyone said she copied. Regardless it's amazing.

Taaa daaa :D

Well done velvet. Cute avatar.

That's hilarious velvet , and pretty too
OF course AD would burrow in there to hit on the lady

Time to congratulate kasakir:!



Look at these lovely colors! Everything about kasakir's avie seems to blend together so well.

I can just tell that this goddess is hanging around her personal Mount Olympus and looking down with disdain at all of us puny mortals. "Why must they eat and sleep so often? Weak peasants! They should be using those precious hours to worship me!"

Great job kasakir! You're gorgeous and you intimidate me, which is always a wonderful combination.

Yay, i saw this one earlier in the rate your avi forum and i loved it!

Glad she got picked, congrats hun ^_^

I love your avatar, Velvet! It tells such a fun story. Congratulations. :)

I saw her's yesterday and thought it was amazing. A well deserved win for sure

Neller, you look amazing, too! I love what you've done

Thank you so much!
As soon as I saw this CI, I just had to be a unicorn. :D

Also, congrats to kasakir! You have such superior layering, as always. You have such a beautiful avatar.

Well done kasakir!! Totally deserving of admins pick, gorgeous avatar!
