toxxic's dream avatar contest. [over]
 

I figure having someone help out will be a lot easier than just getting what I want and trying to go from there.. After all, I'm horrible without an avatar creator.

I'm not sure how you guys go about creating them, but I saw some other contests so obviously it's possible!

Please only use commons and items in my quest thread (link in signature). You don't have to use every item on the quest thread though. Hair can be anything, though I do like layered hairstyles. I prefer pale bases, don't really care about the face as I can easily change that. Most of the stuff in my quest thread are black, so you could pretty much do any colour. I do like purple and red a lot though.

Prize will be a free chubby pony (you can see an example in the art auction link in my signature) as well as whatever aurum I have at the time. I know it's not a lot, but to be fair I am still technically new here.

End date is March 13, but subject to change.

Entries will go here.

We use our own inventories to create an avatar and screen shot the layers page. But Crevan did use Photoshop and photoshop all of the items from the item guide to create layers... It is a bitch to do though.

Trisphee won't do it's own dream avatar creator, but users that want it are encouraged to make it on their own.

1. I'm a little confused, just checking here, ok so you want to use all commons, so that is not a problem, and then you want to use ALL of the items in your quest thread or just some of them or one of them?

2. What kind of a base (if any) do you like?

3. What is that on your face there? Is that something you always use? Do you like a regular face (like mine) or do you like not having a mouth?

4. Do you have any DIs currently, or any event items?

5. Do you have a "spend" allowance, for example, for commons you do not have that one might use to make you an avatar?

6. What is that top you are wearing now? Is that a common?

Sorry for the late reply!

1. All is not necessary. Those are just the only items I would like you to consider using that are not commons.

2. I prefer paler bases, female.

3. I'm using the ghost grin or something I think from the token shop. Although I prefer not having a mouth (or using the one from puppet master) as I'm not a fan of the lips here.

4. Everything I have and like is what I'm wearing now. I don't have a whole lot and didn't want to buy without having an avatar idea in mind.

5. I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here.. Um.. Use commons that cost less than 1k aurum?

6. The top I'm wearing currently is from puppet master.

Except what I'm wearing is literally all I have. I'm selling the rest of my stuff. Or trying to.

Ok I am good with those answers. So essentially you have no aurum, you only have what you are wearing. But you are looking for maybe a few more commons to invest in that would make a good avatar along with possibly your quest items. So this is kind of like a "dream avatar" for you. Do you just want screen shots posted? I don't have Puppet Master to do the mouth or the top though. Why don't you like mouths, have you looked at all of them? ^_^ I found a similar mouth, I will use it since you can just swap it out for Puppet Master or use none if you wish.

Yep! The aurum I do have is being saved for this and buying the items nex is holding for me, I don't mind having to wait and save up for the stuff. A screenshot would be fine. I've looked at the mouths in the shop here and didn't like them, I don't usually use mouths on sites. If there are mouths in any of the MIs or Yearlies or other items then I didn't notice.

Ok cool, thanks! XD

Maybe I should put "dream avatar" in the thread title

That would be a good idea. And let them know the type of base you like and so forth. ^_^

Done, and extended the end date~

May I ask which items are you wearing. I know I see Puppet Master and Kylesti's hair there, but what else, like what is the top and the belt and the boots. Thanks!

The boots are from the shop, they cost 1k. I can't recall the name. The top is Kylesti's vest with I think the crop top from corrupted bundle and a corset from the shops. I'm also wearing the mage skirt from the token shop. The belt is n'veiss' sash.

Thank you very much. I like what you wear. I don't own enough of those items you want to really try for your "dream avatar", but I can toss out a couple for "fun" avatars that you can use for possible inspiration. I'll try and get them posted tomorrow. They are kind of my style, sort of "pretty" (they even have mouths) but I tried to use at least a couple of your quest items and then commons or event items which would be easy to get. So I just did them for fun and you can have them. They are on my other computer or I would post them now but I am going to bed. ^__^

Okay, thank you!

Ok so these avatars I just did for fun. Most of them contain items on your quest and then I added in some items you might consider. You don't have to put these in your contest. I did them because I am bored and I like making avatars. Let me know if you like one of them but need changes made. Maybe I can improve one for you.

I thought you might try some different hair, there are 3 hairs layered on these. The second one is not in your colors but I thought I would try something different.

Just a last one from messing around with them:

Sorry about the mouths. I tried to do them without a mouth, I did one without it, but for me it is really hard to get visualize the avatar without a face. It is a failing of mine. Just remove the mouth.

I like the first red and black one, although I'm not too fond of that long coat. Which items did you add to that one?

I also like the purple/yellow one, although I think I'd like it more if the yellow were lime green, if that's even possible with the items..

I like that first one too, it's my favorite. That coat is from one of your quest items. I was not sure which pose you wanted from the Aloros so I used the most flowing one.

The other one, are you talking about the purple and tan one, you want to know if that can go lime green? Totally that can go green. I can't create that for you since I don't have all those items in green.

Items for the first one include...Victorian Vestments (the hat) and Rainbow Rave (the hair) and the belt from Radiant Seductress. But you can use other stuff for those, commons maybe. If you want to recreate it I can give you the list of items and the order they are in and I can leave off the coat.

Yes, I would like a list of items for the first one.

Are all the tan items commons?

Oh and the aloros pose I wanted was the shoes, sock things, and necklace.

I thought you might like those Aloros shoes. I just did not want to make an avatar based on them. They are very cool though.

So the tan outfit yes, those are all commons, I did that on purpose of course. Here is the tan outfit and I put where you would want to change to green or whatever color. I will get you that first outfit list of items later on tonight I think. I just happened to have the tan one handy.

So to make the tan avatar if you want to, use these items in this order omitting the mouth:

Basic blush - red
Basic blush - pink
Eye Shadow - black
Eye Shadow - red
Sharp eyes - purple
Mysterious eyes - purple
Special dotted eyebrows - dark purple
Crimson Zephyr's Lips - crimson
Smile lips - lilac
Small lips - violet
N. Brown Pom Pom hair - switch to green
Radian Seductress hair - just omit this since there is no green version
N. Brown Pom Pom Extensions - switch to green
Natural Brown Kiyo Extensions - switch to green
Violet Stockings
Kylesti's Stockings - right leg only
Dust HDE Lolita Leggings - left leg only
N. Brown HDE Lolita Heels - change to green
Dust Trisiana top
N. Brown Underbust Corset - change to green
N. Brown Tight Skirt - change to green
Kylesti's vest
Maikan's Belt
Radiant Seductress - purple necklace
N. Brown Arm Warmers - change to green
Dust Lion Tamer Gloves
Violet Sukeban Bracelet
Kylestri's Shoulder Ribbon - purple
Violet Arm Flowers
Tea Time Tailed Hat - Violet
Basic Head Rose - black
Silver Bohemian Earrings in light silver
Rainbow Magic - hair star, silver

Thank you! I'll wait for the other one as well then and save them together somewhere.

Ok here is that first one. What I did though was I changed the Aloros to the short jacket instead of the long jacket. So it looks like this:

Basic blush - pink
Eye Shadow - black
Eye Shadow - red
Sharp eyes - gray or black
Special dotted eyebrows - dark crimson

Smile lips - crimson

Basic Slip Dress - use black
Silver pleated skirt - darker silver
Red Fancy Blouse - dark red
Silver Underbust Corset - dark silver
Ascended Fenrir's Shirt in white/gray
Bohemian Key Necklace - Silver
Aloros (try the short jacket version)
(If you cant use Aloros, try the Basic Belts Coat in black or gray)

Dejected Zephyr's Wristbands - silver
Crimson Joipa Hair
Crimson Pom Pom Hair
Rainbow Rave - red/black hair
Victorian Vestments - Black and red hat
(Can substitute the Lion Tamer Hat or try the
Tea Time Tailed Hat in dark gray)

Thank you! Now I just have to figure out which one I want to work toward first..

If you want to. ^_^ What is this I hear about black, gold and white?

I saw someone else with an avatar of those colours and it was really pretty so now I kind of want one.

Oooh that sounds really cool. I can see what I can do with some commons in those colors. Was there a special item to use or maybe do you want layered skirts perhaps, or do you want a lot of accessories? What items do you actually own?

I don't care as long as it's cluttered, or as best as you can do to be cluttered.

I own these items.

Interesting combination of items, I don't see a lot of white, gold and black in there. I'll see what I can do, I have some thoughts already. I hope you have a little bit of aurum you can spend on hair and commons. Maybe sell one of those Mythicas, lol. Anyhow I'll be back tomorrow. Maybe I can do one by then, I'll have to see but I should. Sometimes it takes me a while to fiddle around with them.

I don't own much of anything at all. Most of that is stuff I don't even use. I would sell a mythica but then I'd be screwed if I ended up wanting to wear three poses at once..

Yes, but then you would be wearing a set. I only use an item from a set once or twice on the same avatar. But let me see what I can do.

I wouldn't call it a set unless I was wearing one of every pose.. Who knows though, I may sell one just so I can have some aurum.

Yeah nobody entered and Umareril said her designs were just for fun and I could use them if I wanted.

Yup yup and now I am doing another one, but probably not until tonight or maybe even tomorrow if things are tight for me. I have a lot of work work to do unfortunately.

Do you like either of these?

Sorry about the mouth. ^__^ This one is just a mild reverse of the other.
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c1...xxicwhtblk.jpg

Hm.. Kind of hard to decide but I think I like the first one more

Personally I like the first one best, it's sharper. But I can see the appeal of a whiter one. If you like this avatar you could get the items and then do both if you want. I can see where this could be tweaked more, however, I really did not want to do more unless you liked them. And on the other hand, perhaps they are fine the way they are. But I think these are good bases or "jumping off points" for you to go on and create exactly what you want.
