o: I was thinking we'd have to try to create a robe. x.x; But using it with your current robe sounds better. I'm pretty sure that head items will layer onto that hood.
I think the TM wings might be a different color... but if you're not a stickler for matching, they'd work. x3 I think we just might be able to pull something off. >3
But~ Question... would you miss how the monks robe hood casts a shadow over your face?

No, I wouldn't miss the shadow, I could always add it with other items, or leave it out.
...and yes, I am a stickler for matching. I guess I'll see what matches with the momo and start from there.

Alright. :3 Then this hood can work.
Hmm hmm... I only ask, because this is sort of the direction I want to try to take it in... but it unequips the monks robe. That, or we can add keep the robe, and just add in some basic red. :3

Hey! I think I actually improved this when I went back to edit it. :33



Washuu think? I got the snug skirt to layer over this time, but now the socks layer under the long johns... ;___;

So I'll just comment on this one. ^^

Really, I think you've got a work of art in itself right here.

Grr, it's annoying how that change item layering tool only lets you move an item once now. And sometimes... won't even let you move an item at all. >< I swear the tool doesn't like me. xD;;

I'll go back and be picky though. >3
I do think you imporved the blues in this second avatar. There is a bit of use of more than one item from a set, but... not enough to make it look like you're using sets. ...because they're accessory items. :3
That necklace layers under the cravat, so... you won't see that much of it.
Yeah.... everything is balanced. :3 Except for white. That's where we run into trouble~ The go player is white and blue/white. You have blue/white at your head, and not white... I'd recommend using a mood bubble of your choice to throw some white at the top. And using a silver pocket watch instead~

Annnd... >< Tektek won't let me fix my layering.

How do you like my current avatar?

I think there's a lot of blue but I put blue to cover the yellow eyes, top, and bottom. Don't know which shoes would work best really. Suggestions?

seems like it's taking me forever...

I think it's very nice. :3 I love pairing that color blue against black. I think the contrast really pops.

I think it is a lot of blue on blue. With your avatar, I probably would try to pair that 70s blue jacket with a black shirt instead of using that 70s blue shirt. Your combo works though since you do have the blues broken up by a belt.
The blue grecian shoes are what people always used to pair with that look. (That and an elegant blue ribbon). I think using the jenny's shoes works better than the grecian shoes. ^^
Unless that light blue is more balanced around the avatar, I think it just hurts the eyes. It might be best to not use the plasma gear and sweater.

@ME: It is! I love that there is such a cheap selection of clothing for new users... and old user alike. x3
Oh really? o: What item matches the pora?

@Aynai Tis very cute. x3 I'm so a sucker for gold. xD;;
I think it's very well balanced overall and the colors are spread around nicely.
I'll be picky though. >3 The biancamella is a tad pink... but I think you get away with it being white.
And... the demonic anklets have those darn red balls on them... o: You could try using the red go phones with a red belt... and maybe a couple other red accessories... Just to quickly switch up looks. :3

@Icrat: o: Have fun!
And thanks to M.E. too. x3

@Xt!na: I love those capris. o: They're so a good alternative to the blacklight hoochie pants that I always wear. Those pants are a bit too long. And the capris are much cheaper than the eledant ones. <.< >.>
And that sweater totally looks adorable with your outfit! =D

[sdrawkcab]

I was so bummed on Thursday when I saw the new items and new I didn't have the time to check them all out. u.u;
But now I got to run around and check out all the new starter items and hair styles. x3 Now that was fun! =D

I think a lot of the new starter items can be key accessory items. I'll add some into the first page as soon as the items are up on tektek. They'll be easier to sort through that way and it'll go faster. ><;;

The starter hair styles are beautiful. They're very realistic vs the cartnoon anime style of the old starter styles.
For me, personally, I'm glad that there are a couple orange hairstyles that are the color of the halloween items or the goldenrod cat band since that's what I consider to be a good basic orange. x3
But the best thing is having actual white and black starting hairstyles! O: That's amazing. I've wanted those for years. x3 And I'm amazed we actually got them. I always thought we'd get black and white colors for the old starter styles. XD But yeah~ now I'm just crossing my fingers that they don't feel like going back and tweaking the colors of the old starter styles and such. I still like.. and use those colors...
Anyway, where was I? XD; This was just supposed to be a post stating my intent to update the first page...
Oh yeah,

I'll have to update the post about first avatar styles too, since there are now more items to choose from.


Oh oh~ and the new MCs. <333
I love that new magical girl MC. I can finally have a cute pink wig. x3 I've wanted an orange wig and a pink wig... And I think I'll be pretty happy with this pink wig for quite a while. XD

edit: I saw that some styles do have that basic yellow color. And some styles have a darker teal... I'm really liking the new starter styles~

Such an awesome guide! I'm gonna get right onto making an ace avii using this. x]

[p.s thankies M.E for directing me here ^^]

If you're singing along and you know that you really believe

Icrat! Hi and no problem...
Good luck!

The new stuff is so cheap!

I found something that matches Pora really well! Its cool.

I know!
the black capris are a great item for layering I also bought the pink preppy sweater and the green preppy polo. Finally something I can afford!

I know they are great.. 25 gold to change hair =O I think I can afford to change my hair to match each avatar... But I love my sleepy head to much!

Cabbi: It is the Preppy sweater in light blue or white or blue... Didn't find out the name just brought it after looking at it =p I thought you'd get the items straight away when you started and you would be able to pick the hair when you start too.
No problem =O

The trick there is to just delete your character to get whatever starter hairstyle you want (once it's all up and working). You would lose the sleepy head style thoguh...

Ahh~ I didn't try on that color. XD I just tried on the pink one. x3 Niice~ that's awesome that we have another item to match the pora.

Yeah... I assume it'll work just how it does now. Each person starts with a set of the starter items... such as neutral or cool or warm. You don't get to start with every single item. So if these starter sets stay in the stores for 5g, that'll really help people get more items to work with quickly. :3

[Pheroic]

WOOT! 100 PAGES! Yay!
Hey! What's up??

WOOT! 100 PAGES! Yay!
Hey! What's up??

XD Indeed.

Um, not much~ I wasn't on Gaia yesterday, so I ran around catching up on the little things I missed and had to reply to.
I have a horrible headache and will be logging off now that I've gotten stuff done on here. ><;

How about you? How's your quest and such coming along?
Too bad the new update didn't really bring new gold items with it~

Yeah, the white is a pain. I hopefully fixed it.

But yeah, anyway, I narrowed it down to the avatar I have equipped now. Any more suggestions? xP;;;

The most obvious thing to me is the lack of white at the feet... But in fact, there is alot of white down there. They Biancamella has a really white-white; it's a pain to see, but it is there. ;o

o: Nope. I think you've got it all very well covered. :3

Yep, darn biancamella. If that white was on the body, it'd easily bee seen... but since it's against that white expanse of the forums... tis lost. I bet it would show up if you didn't have any white on your avatar. XD; You know~ stand out when you don't want it to...
Anyway, like I said, I think you've got everything covered. ^^
Maybe put the anklet on the other foot to balance the gold just that much more?
Annnd... i think a red wine pimpin cane or red ceramic cup or that red crush cooler bottle would work well in tektek hand #1. I just think that punch of red couldn't hurt things~

[zieLiz]

Thank you for this guide, I'll keep your advice in mind when I change my avatar next time ^__^

I seem to have lost the other post =O

I thought after like 2 times of deleting you had to pay.. Yeah I would, and I am not rich enough to change sleepy head to match my avatars... 2.2k is just to much..
Yeah Pora is a pain because it is white but it has that tint of light blue...
Yeah that might be how it'll work..

=O 6th gen Hermes Moon is 39k!
