What kind of emotion do you want to show?

[Lawtan]

I don't know. I guess my inquiry would be - how to set them up in general.

[Umaeril]

Ok well it will be harder if you don't know what emotion you want to show. That is why I don't bother about emotion. As you can see my avatar has no emotion, she is just beautiful. That is fairly easy to do by picking complimentary colors.

However, emotion is a more difficult kind of avatar. Let's say I wanted to express a happy excited emotion, then I would use bright colors and items that were spread out. But if I wanted to express sadness then I would use darker or gray colors and make the avatar more closed in.

Personally I am not particularly good at emotions. I think that Sadrain is really good as are quite a few others.

Are you trying to decide what to look like?

[Lawtan]

I guess you could say that - I'd like to figure out more than just my "Avian" look.

[Umaeril]

Ah that is cool. *nods* Ok well you can do an emotion just by colors, maybe that is easiest. So right now, looking at you, you are very dry, a bit desolate but with this fanciful pop of blue and canary. It is like you are from a sand desert wishing for the blues of tropical sky and water. I would say you have expressed the emotion of some "longing" in your avatar. If you are avian then I think you may have lost your way. :]

Ok that hits or misses it and it does not matter, that is just my interpretation.

To be something else you try different colors. What do you have there? Sovereign Knight and Avatar of the Gale and Wicked Abomination and whatever else so just play around with that. I will make some but you might not see it or them tonight, maybe tomorrow night. See if you can make some too. But use the red color from Avatar of the Gale and see if you can make something that looks angry. Try reds and maybe some dark colors.

Aww Uma I really hope you start feeling better soon...you've been sick for awhile now haven't you?

[Umaeril]

Well I am much better today. I was sick for 7 days total. Ugh! That was an awful flu. But my voice is back pretty much and I am doing well. ^_^

Here is my endeavor, so many emotions went into it, hard to choose one.

[Sadrain]

I think you have to save the image on some site and sent it to Uma, Dallas. :) But looks good.
Now to check if I sent mine in...

*hugs Uma* Glad to hear you're better <3

[Lawtan]

*smiles* same.
Umm...can someone explain why everyone I seem to know is sickly right now?

[Sadrain]

Umm, it's some kind of flu bug thing going around internationally or it's catchin' over the net?

[Lawtan]

I'll believe the latter one.
Oddly the only person not sick is my roommate...whom I have several issues with...
*If survive College until next fall, will be looking into apartments...*

Umm...what emotion is my avatar at currently?

[Espy]

That would be for you to decide.

[Lawtan]

Umm...I meant as in "what emotion does my current avatar give other people a sense of"

[Sadrain]

With all the animals around it and tree, I feel it's kind of nature-connected.

[Espy]

It doesn't convey a particular /emotion/ to me, but more a symbolism of the connection between technology and nature.
