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

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

I love the lipstick on that Modern Christmas Present.

oh! Good idea!

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.

How does this look? :o

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

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?

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

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

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

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...

Can I take a look? :o

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

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?

Haha, the floating unders.

I think that's that one weather CI?

Oh, you're right. :3

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

I'm an idiot.

I'm done!

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?



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.

Um working on mine. Tylosis?

bsw - The flowers were probably in reference to this picture



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?

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

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

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

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

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.
