I think it would be interesting to see someone take a crack at either schizophrenia or else multiple personality disorder.

Don't forget about bipolar too.

Bipolar would be hard indeed. Portraying both euphoria and depression in the same avatar.

I was thinking the same thing, actually
I have been wondering what could be done for schizophrenia. I was thinking that the the little devil and fairy could be used like voices whispering in each ear. ><;;

Yeah, I wonder if anyone would do it.. cause it'd definitely be a challenge and interesting to see.

It would be interesting. Anyone who tried it would get at least a few bonus points from me for taking on something so hard.

It would be a bit hard to really show. Since it has a lot to do with voices in the head, but people suffering from schizophrenia actually have several different kinds of symptoms. Some have trouble saying words and jumble what they're saying and interrupt themselves. Some suffer from hallucinations and delusions. Often times they dont show much emotion on their faces. And some are catatonic.

Tis hard, I do admit.

They often kill people, too, so they have a bit of a crazy side.
But the thing is that you can't really show that they're crazy, since we dont have items that really express how someone is. And they dress just like everyday people.

You'd have to heavily rely on symbolism.

I wish I knew what people have already done, that way I dont do the same as them or look similar. :x

Hmm...someone I believe did lung desease another did walking corpse I believe...the others ummmm....

Does anyone have a copy of the books that go by your feet I could borrow for just a moment?

Cora: Despite the fact that I thoroughly expect you to steal them, sure. I'll send them your way.


I've got one! XD Colorblindness.

I might read them before I give them back but cora is not a theif:talk2hand:

Lol, I went the opposite route when I tried color blindness. I voided colors and made my girl blind xP

It's not quite fitting for this challenge, but I've made a "split-personality" avatar before. It was fun, but difficult trying to get things to be opposite on each half.

OMG Ferra that is amazing! I looove that Avi ^.^

I can see how that would have been tricky to get it to work tohugh o.0

@Cami- Thank you. It worked quite as I wished them to *nodds*

That'd be an awesome one to see people try! <8D

I think we discussed color blindness already. Seiki had said it would be okay, didn't he?

And I was thinking to do something like that, Ferra. Split personalities. My psy book calls its dissociative identity disorder.

And my current avi is an insomniac. lol

I really think that works well, I think the pillow or blanket would add a nice effect to the "Trying to sleep"

Ferra: I remember that outfit! It's amazingly awesome.

Missed this before. XD

Well, that says a lot about us doesn't it. You go for the ordered idea of color blindness, while I go for the chaotic.

And I saw how you only sent me back the covers and not the pages.

My brother is actually color blind (excuse me, "color deficient"), and the earliest hint of that we saw was that none of his clothes ever matched, though we took it to be fashion blind, (ahhem, "Fashion deficient").

Lol, it truely does. It goes to show our minds are completely different.

yeah...my uncle was color blind....he used to own this god awful pea green coat that we kept trying to tell him was terrible....but he wouldn't listen....

I fully intended to return them after I read them and reorganized them....they where a bit chaotic

There are actually several different kinds of colorblindness

Thanks everyone! :hug: I'm rather fond of that avatar too.

@Suona: I like your current avatar. :) Insomnia is very clearly represented!

I just read your siggy for the first time suona...it is a very cami-ish thing to say.

Except, of course, I actually can light people on fire with my mind.

Fwoosh!

I went to this burger place with a friend of mine yesterday, and he ordered a conch burger. He told me it was vegetarian and asked if I wanted to try some. I just looked up what a conch burger is actually made of and now I feel kind of sick.
