Ah, okay. So much for my plan to suggest you to move to Canada. XD

And yeah, I love snow. When we finally got a foot of snow this past Friday I was super ecstatic! :D

I've been really into experimenting with expressions and skins this week already.

Guys, what's the most layers you've used making a face and/or body alone? Do you stick to minimums, or put as much effort into them as you do your outfits?

I have lips.

I don't stack face layers very often. I prefer the look of the Pretty Eyes above all others, and only occasionally stack eyes underneath them to make them thicker/pointier. I think the most eyeshadow layers I've done is 3 or 4. I never ever wear noses and I only wear one pair of lips. It's not that I don't appreciate the face, but I prefer to give my avatar emotion through clothes or hair. It's amazing how the hairstyle can really change the mood of the avatar.

@ Ari - Yeah I don't think Canada is in the cards for me. Not this life anyhow! But I would like to visit for sure! Um...in the summer. XD I want to take that train all around.

@ Gallagher - hmmmmm. Skins I only use 1 or 2 skins usually. Lips takes me usually 4 different lip shapes to get the look I like. Eyes take 2 or 3 layers. And then there is shadow and blush too. The face takes me considerable amount of time but then I know what I like so I do generally the same thing with variations so I know what to do but it does take a lot of layers to do it.

@ Lucid - Niiiice avi. I love all the browns, so warm. So detailed and yet not overwhelmed. *admires*

Thank you for the nice words for previous avatar. :) I had to save this one so I could make another one that I already like very much. xD

Y'all would not believe the mess I have going on right now. Lemmie break it down for ya up in here.

10 skin layers.
12 general face layers.
6 eye layers.
4 mouth layers.

32 just to build a body. Not to mention the 7 it took just to make my hair. What the actual heck is wrong with me, guys? Seriously. Wat. I ONLY HAVE 7 PIECES OF CLOTHING. LOOK HOW NAKED I AM.

Now, now, don't die Gall. *pets* How did you get started with using your crazy default layering? o_o

I didn't even know we had 10 different skin items.

I got started one day when I woke up, looked in the mirror, and said, I HATE YOU.

-sobs into a pillow- Guuyyyys, I have a problem!

Oh. Oh god. Probably around the same as Ulti. And it depends on what kind of face I make. Remember my cyborg-like ones? Skin and face, that would be at least twelve layers. I've probably gone up to 15 before, though.

What does saying "I HATE YOU" have to do with creating a new face? o_o

D: What's your problem now, Gall? :o

I hate myself because I always do so many layers.

And because I have a face/body addiction.

Yeah, that sucks. I can't understand how you're so willing to put up with getting your entire face set up. :| It sounds so bothersome.

Also, when can I give you a new Ari challenge? I've been working on coming up with harder ones just for you since you're so good at making avatars. >_>

I'd be willing to accept one, but I might not have it finished until after egg release.

That's fine. It'll give you more time to think on what to do anyways. I've made this one extra hard. >_>

I'll post it in my next post once I get 'er all typed up. >_>

Oh frick, new eggs. I totally forgot about those. I'm still missing one of the items from the last egg. D:
