It's not as depressing as one might think. It's for college, I'm in my 5th and final year. But it's a focus on the lack of homecoming and that even some of the veterans when they returned were against the war.

Thanks. I LOVE trying to layer things.

Well Xun, I think your avi has something to do with alchemy. Like you are a mad scientist who is trying to discover a way to turn common stone into gold through alchemical means!

Kali, that sounds like an impressive topic. I'm sure it was very hard on them. I have been acquainted with a few Vietnam vets. Actually some were weird but they were in a VA psych ward so I am sure that is why. PTSD is a huge disorder among them as with all vets though it was known by other names and euphemisms.

[Kali_Namir]

It wasn't too bad since the topic was more about the homecomings and what they did afterwards.

"I'll never be without my...item":
Don't have one. An item won't look good with everything. I may love items more than most, but I am able to take it off.

I enter avi contests (y/n):
..As long as they don't steal my avatar ideas, sure. -Scratches head.-

@Uma: LOL And once I find out the secrets to it, I have my noisemaker ready and waiting to be sounded while I run around the town to let people know.

@Epic: Welcome to the thread, epic! lol Black and blue. *high fives*

...Now I'm wishing I could get both Autumn Fin and Kaze back. ...or was it just Kaze? I can't remember, but I saw the new items in the market and I went-- ...damn, why did I sell my stuff? lol ;;

[Kali_Namir]

Kali would like to point out just how much she loves these new fall colors...

[Xun]

Ah, very nice! *paws at the clouds* So pink. lol But it's alright.

[Umaeril]

Hey Kali where did you get clouds from? Your avi is really magnificent! Are you going to keep it for a while? I'm trying to make an avi with the new items but it's going slow.

Hiya Ryube, how are you doing? I may forget to call you that so can I call you Epic? So you like black blue and pink, huh? I like those colors too! I like what you have done with your items!

Xun where did you get that noise maker, it's very cute. ^_^ *watches you run around town*

~Let me try do this properly..

Name and/or nick: Ducky
Favorite avatar colors: White and black, primarily
"I'll never be without my...item": uuhm.. there's not really anything on here I tend to equip on every avatar.
I enter avi contests (y/n): I never really enter contests, because most the time my avatars are lame :P

[Kali_Namir]

The clouds are from Rolling Thunder. And Idk how long I'll keep it. I tend to get bored with Avies easily or want to play with other items. I grabbed the dress and worked from there...

[Umaeril]

Ducky you are so not lame. Your avi is luminous! I like white and black too. Actually I am told I look good in that combo IRL. XD How long did it take to whip up the one you have now?

@ Kali - Rolling Thunder, cool item, maybe that should be my first quest item. I do understand getting bored of an avi but since it takes me so long to make them I usually keep them a while. Though I guess I don't need to be attached or anything. I suppose what it is is that I only have so many items, hence only so many themes, so I cannot be as versatile as I would like. As we go along here and I get more monthlies I'll have a larger range and maybe experiment more often.

[Kali_Namir]

It's not really the items that make the avie, it's how the avie uses the items.

[Umaeril]

Haha, that is too profound Kali, my pea brain is going in circles. ^_^

Seriously though, you are absolutely right. Actually I think my pea brain is going in circles because I am tired. Getting late for me.

[Kali_Namir]

Lols. My brain is on profound history paper mode...so things get deep...

But no really, a pair of pants can turn into tights. A bracelet into the end of a sleeve. An arrow into a wand.

It's really all in how you use the pose and the way you see it being used.

[Xun]

@Uma: I believe someone was selling their Trisphee birthday stuff and I got the noisemaker from them. I've always wanted to use it, but I never have been able to find some good items for it. I guess it's because I'm more fond of fantasy-based clothes and what-not? I dunno, honestly.

@Ducky: Welcome to the thread! Ah, you can never go wrong with black and white. Very classy, I must say!

@Kali: I agree with you on how things can be seen when you mess around with layering and whatever. Sometimes for me, however, there are ideas I have, but because of how an item is made, the layering just doesn't work. I wish I could show an example, but it's kinda hard to see.

[Kali_Namir]

I totally understand actually. I was trying to make something work once and had the layering worked, it would have been PERFECT...but the items wouldn't layer right...

I'm actually about to tweak this avie...let me know what you think...
