That's alright. You can guess however you like. I hate to say it, though, but that is not correct Patrionette
|
It's rare that I go without my base, and that includes a very specific skin color, eye colors, hair colors, and tattoo configuration. The avatars I actually wear are easily identifiable. My contest work not quite so much so. We all have tells, though. Especially users with several years of avi making experience.

I Think I Know Who They Are!!
Username: Lawton My Guess: 5 Tells.? Well, I do understand, but I guess I need to see more avatars before noticing these ^^' |
I am sorry Potrionette, but that's not correct.
Edit: And yeah. I almost always use elf ears, or pointy ears of some sort. |
Some of us, like Espy, tend toward a lot of intricate details and making the color balance even across as many sections as possible. Some, like Tiva, keep an overall theme or color focus in mind and will use layering as necessary to achieve it, whether that results in a simple avatar or a complex one. Then there's people like Toho who use what they like without caring if they actually go together. Those people are easy to pick out once you know their favored themes/items. littl3chocobo, for example, almost exclusively makes baseless, background centered avatars. Poggio will ignore imperfect shade matches as long as the item goes with the general colors and themes, and favors highly detailed faces and held items. Pessimisticat is still developing their avatar style, but thus far has been favoring color balance within what their inventory allows, with avatars made with a general theme in mind, typically making use of a centerpiece or starting item that the outfit is based upon.

Oh, and the vast majority of users have few, if any, differences between avatars they would wear around the forums and avatars used for contests. Users like myself that have strict and separate definitions for the two are few and far between.

I Think I Know Who They Are!!
Username: Pessimisticat My Guess: 3 Hum, well. I actually never thought about a lot of those things before. Items fitting together vs colors vs themes. Although the contest bit makes things somewhat tougher o~o I'll go with Pessimisticat this time, if only because I feel like it's very orange-y |

Username: Espy My Guess: 5 Probably wrong, but slow elimination. Also, back from 24 hours of sinus-based sickness. :) |

Haha, yeah I can be kind of creepy about avatars. I absolutely adore participating in really serious avi contests, but they just don't really happen around here.

EDIT: I have two people in mind for #4. Can't decide on which. Also, it might be interesting to consider the rarity and age of certain items. Just saying. |
I have a few ideas as well but I don't think we can play since our names are on the stage board.
|
...That sucks for people who don't actually have an avatar up there, though?

I did last round :) I just decided not to this time since that might give away who I am, lol. Or, at least make it easier for people to guess ;) |
