Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Just went through and made all my ancient posts private, it was interesting reading over them and seeing what I was up to 10+ years ago.

I'm retooling this journal as an avatar gallery so I have a place to blather about avatars that I've put way too much thought into -- especially considering I only equip them for about 1 day and delete them.

In the midst of my one-off outfits I sometimes get hooked on a look, a combination of items, or a theme and want to explore it more than just making a single avatar will allow. Since these avatars often end up working together as a set or a series, a lot of the context for why they look the way they do ends up lost since I only get to display them one at a time. After considering a few options including making a thread somewhere, I decided dragging the dusty old journal out would be the best option for displaying these avatars the way they were meant to be seen -- as a set side-by-side. I'll also be including some commentary about the themes and elements that were carried across each outfit and what inspired each series, because I take pixels way too seriously.
