Just keep playing with options. Just takes some time. I knew Magnificent Faire would be a bit of a dissonant flavour, but with a bit of work, I'm sure you'll figure something out that's you. :3

[Umaeril]

Ok ok you are right, hahahaha! I'm just grumpin'. lmao. I'll actually be done soon.


Edit, ok all done, what do you think? *strikes a pose*

[Arikana]

Very nice, alas, you're missing any one of the Radiant Seductress hairs. ;) I never included in the challenge to use just the Radiant Seductress, but specifically any hair pose. So I believe some editing is still in due order. :P

Nevertheless, it looks great so far as is. :3

[Umaeril]

Wups, ok I fixed that. Hey you are sharp I must say! You must have such excellent internal visual skills. What do you do again may I ask? You write, yes? But professionally?

Edit: Did you notice the bit of gold in my lip?

[Arikana]

Yeah, I'm quite detail-oriented and ensuring that things are comme il faut (as it should be). Though, that probably has more to do with traits acquired from learning disability than real life occupation. Which I have none, by the way. D: I so need to work on finding a part-time job this summer. @_@

And yes, I saw! I was just a bit perturbed by the lack of Radiant Seductress hair to point it out. XD

[Umaeril]

That gold in the lip, now that was serendipity. @_@ Boy the lack of that hair sure threw you? I just tossed it on an all was good. I had it on before anyhow and you know when you are shuffling stuff? It just got shuffled off, lol.

I wish you the best for a job! Wow jobs are so hard. And doing what you like is hard. And actually, making good money is hard, or well, I should say it takes time. It does not just fall off the tree, in general.

[Arikana]

Eh, it's easy for me to notice those little details most of the time. But when even the little things aren't comme il faut (as it should be), I can be thrown off. D: A character trait I've got to work on shuffling out of my system. @_@

Yeah, it's ridic hard to find jobs. :( I don't care what I'd have to do, I'd do almost anything for a frickin job at this rate. >w>

[Lucid:]

Uma, I think your avatar turned out gorgeous!

[Arikana]

I know, right? My challenges always help people bring out the best of their avatar-making skills cause it really causes them to put some thought into their avatars. :D

.....So when can I give you a new one, Lucid? >_>;;

[Umaeril]

Wow, thank you Lucid, and thank you Arikana for putting out such a good challenge. I must say, I had my doubts, haha! But in the end, it all pulled together. I am sure there are many ways to do this avatar but I really like this one. I'll wear it for a bit I think.

And speaking of challenges, we need a really nifty one for the 2nd post on the front page. The rainbow has been there for a while. Any ideas? I am open for suggestions.

[Lucid:]

Uhh, you can give me a new challenge now I guess. I have the time to work on it and I don't feel like my current one flows as well as it should.

[Arikana]

@Uma: Bwahaha, at your signature line and how you've called this an 'Original Arikana Challenge'. I like that. <3 And I like your avatar too, so feel free to not change it for a while. :P

Man, I really need to finish typing up my buttload of avatar challenge contests! Gonna be so awesome once I finally launch it! >w<

Uh, I could place one of my 'Ari challenges' in the second post for ya? :P Though I'm thinking of including a theme in my usual challenge set up. >_> Y'know, for the extra challenge. :P

@Lucid: Okie dokes. :)
Here's one, comin' right up! c:
Colours: Special blue, rose, blonde.
Items: Victorian Vestments, Birthday Fireworks, any one (1) Zephyr item of your choice.
Specific poses: Celestial Regent 'sun' pose, Reign of the Jackal headdress thing,
Restrictions: No black, no white (accents are fine), no pink, no violet colour set, no lilac colour set.

[Lucid:]

Special Ocean or Special Air? (If you're going to show off that you know the names of the dust colors, you gotta know the names of the special ones too. ;P ) I assume by no pink, you don't want pink-pink but rose-pink is okay? How much white is considered an accent and how much is too much?

[Umaeril]

Ari, this is what I was thinking about as a challenge for the 2nd post but was not sure how to word it, tell me what you think. Take one color and do a monochome avatar using hues from that one color (like blonde goes from lightest yellow to darkest gold) and then add ONE item only for a contrasting accent color. So for example, you could have an avi wearing all whites and could add a black umbrella. Get it? Does that sound boring though? Is it too limited? Would people even be able to do it? I am not sure. So many items here come with 2 colors so I am not sure monochromes are easy to make.


Oooh Lucid, that sounds like a good challenge. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

[Arikana]

@Lucid: Fine, be that way. And I mean special water, though if you wanted the added challenge of doing special air as well... :P
Yeah, no bright pink. Softer shades are fine.
Like a touch of white, not an glaringly obvious amount of white on an item.

@Uma: That sounds really good, Uma. :) I can't wait to see what people do with it. :D

[Lucid:]

There are a lot of good commons that come in only one color. I think it's absolutely doable and it sounds really fun to try.

Ari's challenge is pretty awesome except for that butt-ugly headdress. I'm leaving it out because it's horrible. I think I have the rest of it though. Just adding finishing touches! I totally did the extra challenge of doing special Air because I hate special Ocean. It's overused. :P
