The one before you changed it up? I liked that one, yes.

This one

I'll probably go through a half dozen background only avi's before I decide on one I like for the contest.

I like the one you ended up going with!

I second that

i like the one you have on right now 'nods'

Thank you, it was a lot of fun making it. Now for the next.

Everyone having an enjoyable holidays so far?

Well, I had to take out the recycling while it was freezing and raining outside, so that was fun.

Ooooo. We had two days of cold so far this winter, it's back in the 60s for us now. But we did have one night where the low was 32.

The weather has been highly variable around here. It was 30 degrees one day and then 60 degrees the next.

I get sick in that kind of weather

Hummy, I agree the big fluctuations are what causes folks to get sick.
The temps here are usually in the 50-60 range unless a coldfront hits then we'll drop lower.

Long is very good at making avatars.

Thanks Kirin. It's just a lot of playing around and seeing what works or doesn't

Me too. And helpful advice from fellow posters helps me finish her off.

I get you on that. Although sometimes I find it better to ignore some of the advice since it doesn't go with what I find appealing.

I don't always take it. But sometimes I'll try it.

I get a lot of "need more matchy matchy" and I don't necessarily like matchy matchy because I'd rather have a theme or story.

I'm the same. Though a smile was recommended for this avatar then I thought I needed different eyes and then it turned into a comic strip and I'm so in love with her right now.

And that's what matters. Your Avi is YOURS! it is something that either represents you or something that makes you feel good. If other people like it that's a bonus.

Yep, but some ideas have really helped and I've enjoyed.

very true. sometime they help come up with great item combos that you just can't let go

Whoops! Sorry for disappearing. Got roped into shopping with my mother. What's up, people? :v

I agree with you guys. I love avatars that can convey a story, and matchy-matchy usually isn't my deal. But sometimes, matchy-matchy can win Admin's pick. :P

Hi, Taiyo!

Merry Christmas Eve, TT!
