I find nothing wrong with your style though, Shaman. O_o
Why are you thinking of changing it?

Well, its not the style really, its just that if I continue to keep myself limited to just red, black, white, gold, silver... well, I'll never really make much of a name for myself as a solid avatar designer. I don't have a decent collection of colors in my inventory, so I'm limited on what I can design with, so I need to get some other color and expand my design style a bit so I can really show Mene what I truly am capable of.

Everyone has a trademark, you know.

Mine flops between the mask I use a lot, and how I layer things and what items I use.

Oh I will always have a home in those colors, and I pride myself on being a master at using them, but I want to prove that its not all I can do.

I see, Shaman. Well, personally I do say there is nothing wrong with that, though I fully understand the want to deviate and expand from the usual. For myself, those are my exact colour schemes too, and the head part of Iro, the hairstyle, colours, cat ears, eye-patch and earrings remain constant no matter how I change this avatar. I take that as a challenge in a way.

But like you, maintaining one style like these does get tiring and constrictive, and like you said, proving that you can do more than that. That's what my mule is for. I try my best not to use red with my mule when it comes to different outfits, though there are some cases it can't be helped, because red is a good colour for accent. You can take a look at my drawer in Hime's thread here if you wish to take a look at some of the avatars I made using my mule. :)

I don't really have a 'trademark' to be honest, at least, that what I think. I do like to layer and use colorcombo's over theme, though lately I've tried to change that a tad. :D

I have a drawer as well, you'll see by looking at my avatars, especially if you look closely, that I tend to use the same items over and over again, and not just items, but entire outfits, just switching this item here and that one there to get different looks, I just feel a need to expand is in order, lol.

When you look at my avatars, you can see I almost always use one of the teenie skirts :D
Today is an exception. It's pretty normal, I have all 52 of them, and it's the only set of commons I have completed :D

I've noticed similar looks in your avi's Hime, but you always have a great layering, I just don't have the items to compare to your avis.

Hime always has extreme layering and great use of textures.

Well, you should have seen my first avatars though. I was quite amazed when I won admin's pick the first time, I hardly had any items on so I was like.. 'whut?' lol

I think I acquired a fair amount of commons in this one year I'm on Mene now, though it's never enough :D

Awe thank you Monstah c:

I can only dream of getting AP recognition. One thing I've always wanted was to be posted on the main page of Gaia, and once I left to join Mene, its sort of been a longing for me here. Even winning UP would give me a sense of accomplishment, but all I can do is keep designing and hope something I create is just that epic.

If it helps, Shaman, jelly's more partial to theme than the matching of colours. :lol:

Well, I've read through her page on what she likes to see, and one of her big don'ts happens to be using the color scheme I use, lol.

Its not something I MUST do, but if I find myself on the front page, or even if I so much as make a decent amount of votes in UP, enough to make top 5 or so.. Its just an overwhelming sense of pride to know that the design really made people happy.

I've had a huge longing for designing that one special avatar that just makes people want to admire all of the small details.

Perhaps the one thing that I've always strived for, and will always strive for, is the impossible task of designing an avatar that EVERYONE loves.

Gaia features avatars on the main site now? Ah well, I can't be bothered to log in again, Gaia has passed away for me. I remember I placed in the avatar contest a couple of times there though, the one where people were able to vote. I think that thing was so rigged though.
I used to have a lot of items/commons there, but I gave most of them away

I'm worth millions on Gaia, and don't even sign on anymore. Hell, I have a horns of the demon, lol.

I just love Mene and don't see any more attraction to Gaia.

I probably have one of the most "underdog" stories in Mene history when it comes to AP. 8DD;;

Which is still something I can't fully get over when I think about it again. ^^;;
