Thank goodness we can use the Dream Avatar Creator! I already have an idea for Past VS. Present.

I really underestimated how hard it would be to not have items with black/white in them

you got it!

I went with gold because it really pops, but then a few things I wanted to use had a black accent on them

Past VS. Present!
My Culture/Tradition is: i’m a mix of Irish, British, and Hispanic from New Mexico, so i wanted to represent that with this avi. i tried to incorporate elements from the fashion styles of all of those cultures during the 1600s-1800s when i think my family actually lived there? while also tying it into my personal fantasy-like, drapey, flowey, mystical aesthetic. Birds of Paradise were my bisabuelo’s favorite flower, so it’s always nice to see them in the mene item catalog.

My Traditional Uniform:


But I can still show you how I party!

My V-Day Dance Party outfit:


How I did it:
I removed
• Mage Hood - Blue
• Ivory Tights - M
• Blue Jay Open Shirt

I added
• Large Fishnets - Black
• Wadjet Makeup - Blue
• Pink Mood Lights

yup a lot of items have little hints of other colours which really make it hard to just one one colour. i love this challenge for this reason in particular

im pretty open to maroon being red, but IMO its brown because the word for brown in french is Marron

Aww thank you BSW ;3;

And I thought I wasn't going to switch my avatar this event... dang it.

There are some really interesting contests idea this go around. I never got to join in the original versions of these, so I think it'll be a challenge.

Once my sick brain starts working, I’ll have to think of something for these

I was trying to use a red that wasn't the usual red and we have a strange lacking of things in strawberry. I considered Maroon, then was like "is that even red?" in the end I decided against

Past VS. Present!
My Culture/Tradition is so I am a mutt in reality. Polish, English, Irish, Scottish, Japanese, Spanish, French......yes there is a melting pot of nationalities in there. However, we are predominantly Irish, English, and Japanese. I decided to focus on the Irish part of our heritage.

My Valentine Colors Entry:


My accent color is Black... like I know it's not a real color, but I like it.


My Valentine Colors Entry:

My accent color is gold.

oh wow that second entry made me say "oooo" out loud!! you chose such vivid hues, it's really tasty

The past vrs. present one is going to be difficult. Since someone already did a kick ass Celtic avatar.

Maybe I'll go for the "Canadian" part of my culture. Hopefully it reads as good the others submitted so far.

Also I can see Cora going with some of the items I was going to use for the "No Multi Equip" Challenge. I'll have to rethink it before I even began it. XD

I'm hoping to have all of these (except the group one) done tonight before 12.
