If the avatar makes someone happy, who cares?

Not my place to thumb my nose at other people's taste.

I may not like it and may in fact find it downright ugly -- but I'd rather expend effort on my own avatar than worry over someone else's.

Seriously, this just seems like an attempt to validate/vindicate one's personal taste/aesthetics over someone else's, when it's all just subjective.


I'm not trying to do that at all, I'm sorry if it looks like that, I'm just comparing avatar types and seeing others preferences. Sorry I offended you.


Didn't offend me. rofl
 
     
 
I think is all depends on the outfit. Expensive and cheap can both look good and bad. I just wear what I like, sometimes I'm a bit cluttery because I like too many plushies etc.

I'm sorry but it looked like I annoyed you, if it didn't then I'm also sorry for assuming it did, but you're making me feel quite uncomfortable here, putting words in my mouth and saying im trying to belittle people.

Usually outfits come to mind when I want to change my avatar. Some turn out great others.. meh. The one I have know i have been wearing 5 days straight! And that's a long time for me. It means I really love how my avi looks (I think the marionette is a bit much but, I still wanna show it off >w< ).
I can't really explain it but, if an avi matches my tastes then I like it!

No wonder you're so proud of those items, you must've worked so hard.


Haha, actually I won the marionette on a rig on my first try. XD
The Shibuya Nobody was bought after I got lucky getting 1.5 mil off a bundle.

So all my items I have on right now are based on my luck factor.

You responded before I edited my post. xd

I dunno, I just tend to believe in people doing their own thing in regards to avatars, doesn't seem fair to inflict my aesthetic sense onto someone else, is all. Especially since you seem to be making some assumptions about wealth/aesthetics/attitude in your own OP.

Obnoxious people exist all over - whether their avatar cost 5g or 50000000000g. xd the default "troll look" exists for a reason.

I suppose you are right, i did say a few wrong things, but I didn't mean to hurt anyone, and I certainly wasn't trying to put anyone down, I'm not even in any position to do so..

I never focus on the value of the items I put on.
I just put on what works for whatever kind of avatar I'm makin'.

Also, I'm an accessory whore. XD;

Hehe, only those two I got lucky with. The other items I have, I worked for. (I don't wanna feel like I'm gloating >w< )

I try to concentrate on nice avatars over expensive items (though I am tempted to throw some of my more expensive stuff on every once in a while).

I don't really care about the price of items~ I mostly look for well-coordinated avatars along with the "personality" of the users. In other words, price doesn't really matter.

However, sometimes I wonder about the items used and often times, the items that helped with the coordination tend to be expensive in the marketplace.

Other then that, clutter, even with valuable items, isn't something I pay attention to. Additionally, they aren't very appealing to draw at times while accepting commissions. ^^;
 
     
 
It doesn't matter to me if it's expensive or cheap. I'll like it if I like it.

Although, I do have a little preference for anything that sparkles. <3 Mmm~ shiny.

As such, mine usually has some form of sparkle to it, even if that means it gets a little pricey.

But, as I said, doesn't matter much to me.

[] I just like my items to match color-wise, whether they're rich or not.
Though, I kind of don't like the stereotypical ANGELIC/DEMONIC ava.
 
     
 

I like to put random s**t on and call it a day.


Current; case in point.


I wear rich stuff all the time, but they are not the focus. In fact I might use a very small and unnoticeable pose.

     
Thank you all!

I just like cute avatars, like yours~! But I don't really judge anyone based off of how they dress their avatar. :s


I agree with this!

I am more impressed when someone can make a great flowing avatar with items that aren't horrendously expensive, or even maybe only having a few.

I really like Queen Jane Approx.'s avi right now ; I know she has a Hunter Duo but I mean, her items are more basic.

I really love your avatar biggrin
