it pretty good though you should include more about balance and colors. you should talk about which colors look good with each other and which dont and how to match colors. If you add some more details and retouching to your guide would be pretty good biggrin

edit: you should also add stuff about how to make your avatar make sense, instead of just have a bunch off stuff on your avi.
>>>>though the colors work and there is balance there should also be a point/theme to your avi.
though random is sometimes good you should know when you've crossed the line

^^ try getting that idea across biggrin

First off, thank you for the consructive feedback. ^___^

Next, I'd love to talk further on this with you to fine tune what needs to be done.

I thought my whole guide was about balance and colors. x.x Apparently I haven't gotten that across. ^^;;

I have a section where I just mentioned that mixing and matching different colors is good. It first had a suggestion as to what colors to use together. I know that certain colors do look better together than other colors. However, if the colors chosen are evenly balanced around the avatar, it usually looks good. I've seen the oddest colors paired together that actually look okay. I think the colors you choose doesn't matter as long as you stick to the same shade.

As far as using the same shade of color, do you really think I have to walk people more through recognising what items are the same color?


And... when you say adding more details, you don't think that would be detrimental to the guide? I know there is so much more I could talk on about, but I wanted to hit the highlights. I figured people would get turned off by having to read a lot.


Annndd... there is a fine line with that topic in your edit. ^^;;;
I don't believe that all avatars need a "theme" or "story" attached to them. Many avatars are superb and their only "theme" is color matching and balance.
I'm also one of those who believe that you can throw on a magician's wand to help balance your avatar and it won't make your avatar a magician. It's just an item.
I agree with what you're saying... sometimes it is just too much. I tried to address this in the cluttered avi section.

You rock, you & your amazing fashion sense.
Marry me now, before you'll get famous :O

O: Thanks~
How about I just marry you when I'm famous. <.< >.> Which won't happen. xD;;

Why not? xd cool

XD;; I think that's pretty obvious. PX

In other news, you actually changed your avatar to a guy! O:
How's that working? <.< >.> The girl avatars have better items, but I think the guy avatars usually look better in the items that they do have. XD;;

Mmmh.. I was tired that people thought I was a girl >____< .
Mmmh, I had to sell everything a girl can wear. Like stockings..
It sucks guys can't wear things like daisy's gloves. These gloves add a little [orange as I remember] & it makes avis way cooler because they have a touch of [orange as I remember rolleyes ] xd
Guys don't have the " Lex's " items neither -__-

^^;; I can see how that could get tiring.
XD So you got a bit of extra gold from selling those female items? ^^
It realy does suck! The guy socks also don't have as many colors.
I'm jealous that guys get dancer gloves though. Those things are so perfect. x3

I know you too well XD;
I think you always look perfect ^^; do I think that outfit is fine.

^^;; I would think that question would be an obvious thing to assume.
XD Why thank you. *curtsies* I do my best. ;D But there was no brown at the feet. >.<

Yes but I didn't know what would be right to say on this thread to keep it in context and it's always good to have that typed in ^^;
Shhh no one has to know.

XD It's hard to stay on the topic of this guide. Good to have that typed it? x.x Okay.
How could they not know? O: They'd see it right on my avatar.

Yeah because all the crazty stalker kids will read it and understand.
You did change you didn't have to type it when you were already in a new outfit.
