Congrats Lina!! It looks amazing! Definitely a well deserved win - very creative with the layering and scene as a whole!

Elirona - same goes for yours! Really creative layering used for your avi - it really looks awesome! :D

Congrats Lina :DIt's such a lovely happy scene.

Your avi gave me a chuckle, Emma
I like it. It really tells a story

Aw thanks Suona! To be honest I've been debating if it did or if I needed to change some things - I tried using items that I never use and I challenged myself to use non-commons only - I managed save for 2 items! Since I'm so behind on EIs/CIs etc. I didn't have any shoes or tops to go with my idea, so I had to use commons for those - but I'm still pretty proud of it! :D

You're quite welcome. I always find it good to challenge oneself. It's fun.
It worked out quite nicely.

For sure - some of my favorite avis come out of it - especially if I have to work within my inventory and not purchase anything. :3

Thanks so much! <3

I love your avi as well - I tried using the feather thing with hair but because the hair covers it (like a lot of items do, especially older ones due to layering problems) I couldn't get it to work right - I ended up building an avi around a bald avi, which I've never done before lol I thought it looked cool but I wasn't 100% happy with it - the way you used the flowers and other hair accessories though really makes it look cohesive :3

Me too. I like setting a challenge for myself. I often totally change my avi as I make it, though. Start with one thing and not like it but like a small part and go with that part instead xP

You're very welcome.

Why thank you. I really like the headdress. I've used it several times before, but it can be difficult to even it out, since it's such a big item. But the challenge is fun, and I love the colors. I notice now, though, that I only really use the blue one. I've only used the red one a time or two max, probably.

I do the same thing.. All the time. >_< I have an idea of an outfit in my head, but it always turns out completely different. x) I make the outfit, but then I'm not 100% happy with it and add "small" changes until it suddenly looks entirely different.

Lol. Yup! that is exactly it

I know what you mean! I started out with a completely different actual avi look, and then I'm like "OHH! I WANNA USE THE STRAWBERRIES!!" - so I redid it lol

If it layered right with the hair I wouldn't mind the bigness so much! I just hate how the golden barrette part is hidden by the hair and looks like it's sideways on the head when really it's actually made to go around the head like a headband - the hair seems to do that with a lot of items though - I tried using the white cloak CI from ages ago - I think it's called the Cloak of Order? Whatever pairs with the Sash of Chaos lol When I put that on all of the hair styles cover the entire hood and don't flow well with the cape either because it layers on top of it. :(

Oh funny! I really love the red one! I don't get to use them though because of the barrette thing. :( Sometimes I get it to work though depending on what I'm trying to go for!

Isn't it funny how the smallest changes really make all the difference? I've found that with avis that I make - I think one item works really well, but then I come to another one and it fits so much better but gives it an entirely new look! I love when that happens - it's always fun to experiment!

morning folks.

Morning Star! How're you today? :)

Where did you find those dark blue clouds? They really give your avi an eerie feel with all of the blues and purples!

1 Good thank you and 2 Their part of the Flying High CI.

Ohh! I'm not sure if I have that one - will have to check and add it to my watch list if not! :D

is a good one to have 'nods'

Ooo Star I love what you did with your bg and that dress. :D

thanks hun.

@ Emma - yup, it happens to me almost every time. This one was a completely different avi to begin with

Yeah, I didn't even know it had a gold thing. Lol. Yes, the hair doesn't layer too smoothly with some things. That good especially. Also the hood from a night in the graveyard EI.

I just love the style of it

Well the end result was really lovely :D

Oh funny!! Yeah - it's really pretty but is rarely ever seen!

I knoww :( I think it's because the hair got updated and the items weren't really updated with the new layering system - minor issues, but I think they probably take a lot of remodeling in the code and item - hopefully the staff has time to go back through at some point and update the older items! :3

Thank you very much. Yours as well. It still gives me a little chuckle when I see it. It's like a dramatic manga/anime scene.

I guess I hadn't noticed that before. It is rather uncommonly used. Huh. Unfortunate because it's so pretty.

That's probably quite right. They're such busy bees lately, so I wonder if it'll happen for some time. And especially with Jelly gone for so long. She seems to be the layers lady.

sorry for dying, i've been clearing out my email, and updating my calendar and such. so how are you two?

Bah, that's always an endeavor. I hate emails.

I'm doing alright. Trying to work out getting a decent job. I have way too much that needs paying off.

Suona - Thank you! :D That's exactly what I was going for! ;D <3

Completely agree - I think there are a lot of items like that too - perhaps because the older users who have them aren't as active anymore?

Very true! They are so busy I don't know how they keep up with everything - definitely give them kudos for that!

Oh? How come Jelly's on hiatus? I hope nothing's wrong??

Star - No problem Star! I hate cleaning out my e-mail - I'm to -looks- 638 back emails that are 90% junk that I just DO NOT want to deal with and sort through? xD; College kind of got me backed up - but I keep all of the current emails weeded out - it's not those emails that I ignore :3 Although, I was at over 1.2k, so I at least made a dent LOL

I'm not too bad - jamming out to iTunes and playing a game called Pyramids! Pretty mellow night for me :3

wow thank you! T_T <333
definitely made my night!

@ Emma - Don't you love when that happens?!

That's quite possible. But because some older items aren't as good quality or layer wrongly just makes them not get used because of that. If they looked/worked better then they would be used more, I think. Like how the sunflower hairpin got revamped.

Yeah, she's been gone for a month. I'm not sure why, though. No update from the staff or her, but that's rather commonplace in Mene. Just hoping all is well. AP has picked back up lately, though.
