It would've been even more pretty if I had more commons. The majority of my inventory is made of Event and Donation items.

Lucid: 06-08-2011 02:31 PM

you still have time to go buy more commons. ;D

Reyoki 06-08-2011 02:34 PM

This is true, but I don't have the funds! I just bought that Brave Victory from Night (totally worth it) and 2 new hair items I'd been missing from my little collection. I do love having lots of hair items. Hair is sexy, and having lots of it is even sexier.

Lucid: 06-08-2011 02:36 PM

hair is very lovely. you have lots of pretty hair.

I guess commons can get really expensive if you just buy them all willy-nilly. but if you have an idea of what items and colors you need, then it's not too hard to build up the funds for that.

Reyoki 06-08-2011 02:39 PM

I try to buy in the same colors usually, like Red, Green, Blue, Basic, and Special. I tend to buy some of the more expensive items, too, like the Belts Corsets and the Elven Cloaks.

Lucid: 06-08-2011 02:47 PM

I think I only have, like four of the belts corsets. XD I gave up on getting most of the belts items because they were expensive and only had one shade. I like having lots of shades. :<

Reyoki 06-08-2011 02:50 PM

That's been bothering me for a while; why do they come in only one shade?

Lucid: 06-08-2011 02:55 PM

I'm really not sure. could be because there's more than one color on the item. the belts have little silvery buckles, the hats have the white feather and blue gem, et cetera. it's a lot harder to recolor items that have details in a different color. granted, Taiki is a magical amazing being and recolored all the converse shoes, but Taiki wasn't on the pixel team way back when the belts items were made.

Reyoki 06-08-2011 03:00 PM

The blue gem on the hats bothers me. Why not just have it in the color of the item? For the cross belts... do the buckles really make that much of a difference in the coloring? *is ignorant to the ways of pixeling*

Lucid: 06-08-2011 03:57 PM

I always cover up the blue gem with a hairbow. :3 they're in the perfect spot for blocking the gem and still looking awesome.

if the buckles are going to be silver, it makes a huge difference. we recolor with gradient maps, so the whole item is pixeled in grey and recolored with a program that does all the colors at once. but that only works if the item is all one shade. it's awesome when the item is all supposed to be one color. but it has to be recolored by hand if it's not all one color. If I were doing it, I would make all the buckles just a lighter or darker shade of the same color. but that's because I'm lazy and I don't want to do recolors by hand. XD

Reyoki 06-08-2011 04:04 PM

Why not do the recolors and then add the buckles? Wouldn't it be just a simple copy/paste thing if you added the buckles afterwards?

Lucid: 06-08-2011 04:20 PM

the buckles would be done on a separate layer, so the item can still be recolored with the gradient maps, but it can't be put through the recolor program. so it takes a lot longer. I actually haven't learned exactly how to recolor by hand yet. but I kinda understand a little bit how it works from watching Fen pixel monthlies.

Reyoki 06-08-2011 06:10 PM

I like your idea about just having the buckles in a lighter version of the same color.
The blue gem on the hats still bothers me, though. I'd love to use those hats, but that one little gem just bugs the ever-loving crap out of me.

Lucid: 06-09-2011 12:31 AM

**buries Reyo in hair bows** 8D These things are SUPAH AWESOME, yah.

Perfectly Wicked 06-09-2011 12:38 AM

I have a question, are the Peacock items considered commons?
I am thinking not, event items, but want to double check. :3

Batty 06-09-2011 12:43 AM

I THINK they'd be considered commons... since they aren't event items, and the tokens you get to buy the items are made from posting.

Perfectly Wicked 06-09-2011 12:44 AM

I think of them as event items... The Forever Event~ <3

xD

Lucid: 06-09-2011 12:51 AM

I think I told someone before that I wasn't taking them, because I wasn't sure if they were sticking around forever or not at that point. now that I know they are, I would probably accept them if I could go back, but that's not fair to everyone if I change my mind midway through. so I'm just taking aurum commons this time around.

Perfectly Wicked 06-09-2011 12:59 AM

I do think of them as more of an event item then common, specialty shop and all. ;D

Not a problem, I'm just doing some tweaking here and there.

I would like to enter this avatar in the contest.
Let me know if you have any item questions. ;] <3

Reyoki 06-09-2011 09:12 AM

*flails about in the sea of bows* Actually, I like the rose pins better!

Lucid: 06-09-2011 12:48 PM

Added your entry, Wicked. <3 I've no item questions, I could probably list off every item on your avi. :3

Reyo;; ooooh. I almost forgot about the rose hairpins. I only have them in Special so I never remember to use them. but they are pretty.

Reyoki 06-09-2011 12:53 PM

I don't have any, but I might buy some after I get a Caped Avenger. I really need to expand my wardrobe.

Lucid: 06-09-2011 01:12 PM

yeah, it's fun to experiment with new items.

Reyoki 06-09-2011 01:16 PM

I want to experiment with some of the smaller items. I'm always wearing long, flowing stuff like cloaks and long skirts.

Lucid: 06-09-2011 01:26 PM

mmhm. smaller stuff is SUPAH RAD! I need to keep building my collection of panties. :3

Reyoki 06-09-2011 01:28 PM

XD I don't think I have any panties. I do have a couple bras, but that's it as far as undergarments go.

Lucid: 06-09-2011 01:44 PM

I have the basic bra in every color. I should probably collect more of the other kinds though.

Reyoki 06-09-2011 01:46 PM

That lack of undergarments confession got me the MASTER achievement! Hooray for underwear!

I want to collect the lace ones! It just seems more dirty. XD

Lucid: 06-09-2011 03:25 PM

Yay for being an event master! I told you you'd get it soon! :3 and it's a sign that you need to collect more underwear. I love the lace ones. they're awesome. >:3

Reyoki 06-09-2011 03:32 PM

I found that I do have two sets of boxers, but they're too short to be of much use in my outfit planning, especially considering most of the other things in my wardrobe.

Ginger 06-09-2011 03:38 PM

I'm loving some of these entries! Nice job everyone!

Lucid: 06-09-2011 04:08 PM

really? I have the boxers in every color, and I use them ALL THE FREAKING TIME because I think they're so cool. :3
I like short bottoms and tall feet items.

Reyoki 06-09-2011 04:13 PM

There is no such thing as a calm fangirl. It does not exist.
*******
I like long everything, which is why my inventory is so limited right now. I just bought a couple pairs of pants because I like the bellbottom effect they have.
*******
The fujoshi has spoken!!!

Ginger 06-09-2011 04:19 PM

Calm fangirl? I have yet to meet one.

I like the boxers too! They're cheap and easy to work with.

Lucid: 06-09-2011 04:22 PM

I haven't even bought the pants yet because I hate trying to layer with them. they look neat and it's good we have pants now, but it's such a massive blob of one color! D8

Reyoki 06-09-2011 04:27 PM

There is no such thing as a calm fangirl. It does not exist.
*******
I might get the Street Tagger pants next since they're darker at the top with the bubbly lighter color thing going on at the bottom.
*******
The fujoshi has spoken!!!

Lucid: 06-09-2011 04:43 PM

I do like the street tagger pants. mostly the black and white ones with the colors spots though.

Reyoki 06-09-2011 04:46 PM

The Oriental shirts are nice, but they don't play very well with a lot of other items.

Lucid: 06-09-2011 04:48 PM

they do well on making cool sleeves, if you can manage to layer shirts over them and cover the body part. I don't have enough oriental shirts to really play with it a lot though.
