While I love love love our artists with the most love a person can have....
I have some issues with Requiro. I really, truly, do.

Firstly, and most importantly in my mind. The items are far to girly.
Yes, we have been working had on this
(I know we have)
but honestly... Our guys NEED items..
So I still have an issue with that.

Secondly most of the poses make me think of other items I've seen before with some tweaks.
Looking through most of them they are mostly different.
Expect for a couple of them, which do REALLY resemble the other items I thought of when I looked at the item.

This is my honest opinion.
I thought you would all like to hear what I have to say, as that's what this thread is for.
So please, forgive me if this seems harsh or hurts feelings.
I know everyone worked very hard on ALL of the items.

Items I found extremely similar :

-Requiro Coat VS Corrupt Emissary Coat.

Yes, there are only so many ways to do a "COAT" item. But. Layering on top of one another, they are extremely close, even the flare.
SO, it landed itself on the list.

-Requiro Hair VS Lesallia's Hair

One is two-toned, one is not. One has a bigger loop, one has a smaller one. BUT, the over all hair looks the same.

- Requiro "sexy underwear" VS Solukino "under wear thing"

Solukino's looks more leather-y and thinker yes, but the straps are very similar and overall with the exception of the heart in the middle looks very similar.

- Requiro Underbust strap w/ beads VS Twisted Image Underbust strap w/ bead

Twisted image is a smaller version of basically the same item...

There were other items that didn't look as close as these but the Requiro item made me think of them first anyways.

I was honestly expecting something... more.

Its a "Lusty- Valentines Day Item"...
but really it just feels like a re-do of other items to me.

I love you guys, but I was let down with this item. I really was.

Unto the Tundra Troll...
I love the feel of this item.
It was well designed, and doesn't make me think of to many past items.
It does however match with the yearly theme.
Which is good, and bad.

I, personally, find fault with the horns
(I'm assuming that they are horns)
And with the "female" version of the hair.... it's going to be very had to layer, and looks like it was an after thought.

I also found myself wishing that the belt on the coat over the shoulder was a separate piece.
BUT, , I loved this item.
Its my favorite so far for Feb.


Thank you again to all of the art staff. And I'm sorry if my words came out to harshly.

An Idea:

It came to me a couple of days ago. Why don't we have one Male-based RDI and one Female-based RDI and then have the ADI a mix of both?
(have everything uni-sexed as always)

That way it may even out all of the issues we're having with mostly female items, and not enough male based items.
