When I no longer can tell or what something is supposed to be on an avi I'd call that cluttered.

I like to show skin or have skin tight stuff on my avi, generally.

Am I cluttered? xD

I like smooth avatars. Well, they can have thick layers of items, but they have to go well together and I love when layering is made so it looks like new item, not piles of them piled on each other. Besides, I am matching and balancing freak, so.. xD

No, Alex, your avi is not quite cluttered. Not yet anyways.

For me I like simple and yet detailed with lots of small items, I have a signature style where I wear boxers then with thigh high stockings and tall boots, and basically anything goes on tops, every body part has something on it like my avis almost always wears a hat, then on hips are the belts, my arms always has something on it so it looks like it looks simple but not cluttered

I like simple, i know its not imaginative to most but I try to put things on my avi that I would actually wear.

LIke.... brown undies? Mrawr

I don't like SUPER cluttered. If it has a theme, and it flows, it really doesn't bother me. But when you can't see the avatar, or the avatar is covered in pets, and face masks, and head items, and arm items.. etc etc. Its just kinda like... "Whut?" xD;

I think I've made a few nicely cluttered avatars on Tris... <.<; At least, I HOPE I have. Lmao.

I don't mind clutter too bad if it is done right. What I don't like is a clutterfucked avatar where it just makes me cringe. xD

To my opinion I don't think it's cluttered because it has a color scheme, to me it's the belt that's throwing it off. So just get rid of the belt and it's good

do what ever floats your boat. i personally dont like clutter. lol

It really depends on how cluttered an Avi is, and how the clutter is placed. I've made an avi with a huge number of layers, but I wouldn't call it cluttered because you could only see the top five or so layers.

Ernya avi's used to be cool...until they were just complete clutter. They all look the same to me now... just in slightly different colors.

It's the stuff like in, say, this thread that's just too...urgh.

**eyes bleed**
oh my gosh Espy, I can't even see items, just color all over. @.@ granted, I don't know what Ernya's items look like on their own, but with our avis even someone new to the site can at least discern that there are distinct items of clothing.

The pain...*shudder* The Horror! Are all other avi sites like that?
