To be honest, all of this is directed basically at one person, and could have done well as a private message.

batty, i make no bones about not liking your style and i have until now refused to buy or wear /any/ of the items you designed

-chuckles- I noticed. I think most people might've. To be honest, I haven't bought many of her items either, but that's for the completely different reason (I...don't...do lacy stuff in general. ...I mean, come on, look at me XD)

for the reason that all of your stuff is so unoriginal that it feels to me that i am just buying recolors of items i already did not like or if i did already have,

It's just my opinion, but Monmon and Batts have both brought really original concepts to Trisphee. True, a few items might seem like repeats, but you can only go so far when trying for a set. One of the items from a design that I had overlapped with the plaid skirt (common), so that didn't get pixeled, but the slight differences between existing commons and some of Batts's stuff really helps at times.

but, having said that i will tell you, in front of everyone that today i bought two of your dis. it is still not at the level of monmon or poggio yet

-grimace- I've brought up the point of our designers several times already, elsewhere. I really like the design team we have right now (ego inflation! ...hahaha nope), because I feel like we all make really different things, to the point that we can't judge skill levels. I mean, come on, I don't even do DIs. But all the artists, pixelers include, have such different styles that it's just not -possible- to say, Oh, Mon and Pogs are better than Batts and I.

but, unlike the others it has a spark of personal touch that shows that you are not a one-trick gothic pony and are capable of making /good/ items.

As I mentioned above, all of the designers put in their own personal touch to the items they design. Batts's designs are elegant, Pogs's are exotic, Mon's has a touch of Japanese style (to be honest) and are often a bit...chunkier? That sounds strange XD Aaaand mine are probably the most masculine and punk-ish out of the four of us. Not to mention that all previous and current unmentioned artists have also had their own flavor.

i am happy to be here when you finally took off the crutch combo of tube-top, shredded skirt, and ankle-breakers and sincerely hope i can see more items like this one in the future, thankyou dear now if you don't mine i am going to go put on my new items<3

Ahaha. I was just mentioned to Mon a few days ago that, Oops, hey Mon, I think we seem to be using a certain combo a lot (mainly headgear/tops/shoulders/arms/legs/feet/bottoms), and that I like how she's been able to break away from that scheme for the yearlies. I still do combos. Not the best habit, but then again, not all of Batts's designs have been what you just listed. I knew Batty would want to design this item, and I knew she'd do a good job, but I don't see it as a vastly great improvement from previous designs because I don't feel like her past DIs and commons sets were bad.

Anyhow, those are just my thoughts on your post over there.
