I despise toxic and all its variations so hard pass this week.

I only like toxic in presidential. I found it really hard to make white and toxic work on the items I like because it's really a scheme that needs very hard divides and cel shading to not make the white look grey.
I will upload mocks when I've got internet. Haven't managed to find any items that it looks good on yet, no matter what combination I make.

Gonna be honest, I never really cared for toxic. It didn't really do anything for me outside of a few venom items. But I began loving it late last year when Serafiella made Volatile Delinquit, linked by Valansi below, and when she introduced me to acidic. (Acidic... emotion_drool ) It's so strange how simple and effective switching black to white is to me, but paring toxic green with white looks brilliant! I'm thrilled to see Gaia pick it up with sour apple, and I'd love to see more. 3nodding Although I like just pairing toxic with white, I must admit that including black as an accent balances things out a bit.

Here are two of my previous avatars this year. (Super proud of the kimono one. whee And the first one was made before sour apple was 'officially' a thing.)

~I really like Sour Apple. I already liked toxic, and toxic with black is just fine but putting it with white instead is really refreshing.
Wasn't Volatile Delinquit User Image a forerunner of it?

While I saw Serafiella's modest post in reply to this, I would agree. In terms of essentially what makes sour apple different from regular toxic, that item kind of is the forerunner. Though some toxic items had white thrown in here and there in very small doses, to my knowledge, this was the first item to mainly focus on pairing toxic green with white. 3nodding

Man the hate on the pure white is really odd to me. Then again I'm not a fan of either offchrome or ivory and that fact that it gets stuck to everything annoys me because it's never quite the same.....

I think the pure white was a good choice to be honest. I tried a few ivory items with the toxic poses and they compete for attention because of the sharpness of toxic green, at least to me.

Agreed. And describing it as sharp is very fitting. (I was going to say pure white was probably chosen over ivory since there are already a lot of toxic with black, so why would ivory be used? But then again, CMYK uses black and CMYW uses ivory, so that threw that idea out the window. lol)

Honestly, I think the Volatile Delinquit and these should be added to the list: User ImageUser ImageUser ImageUser Image
Sure, the ones I linked are single poses, but they fit perfectly. (The first three are intentionally toxic green + white, also by Serafiella and Sensifer, the poster children for this color scheme, in a sense. rofl But I could understand the argument for the last one that it's more or less coincidentally toxic green + white and should be left off.) Though, I will stop there. There are a few other poses on other items that are toxic green + white, but they are on items that are mostly the regular toxic color scheme. wink

Oooh, didn't realize it was considered a "new" scheme.
I loved putting white with Toxic and black. I used to dislike Toxic when I first saw it, but now it's one of my favorite color schemes.
So when Sour Apple came out, I was so ecstatic to see that there's still some demand for Toxic. I usually pair more blacks than whites with Toxic, though. XD

I'll add a section for not officially tagged but have the vibe of sour apple, hopefully today. First I have to un-baking hurricane my kitchen, dining room and living room.

I made another Sour apple avatar simply because of how in love i am with this scheme.

No matter how I look at it, it's still toxic to me burning_eyes

Carved out some time to update the front, let me know if I missed anything.

Feel free to suggest other items for the list

Also, per a suggestion in the suggestion thread how would people feel about doing Lake Kindred schemes (like multiple) next week? Apparently this week was it's anniversary?

Also sorry if I seem unengaged in the thread or anything. Was canning recipes to give to a friend for her new house...there were 24 of them and it's harder than it looks.
Triple also anyone wanna offer up avatars or OCs in scheme based outfits to sketch? Yes yes I am still archiving the thread, that will get done....I'm not completely ignoring that promise

are lk schemes used on items that aren't lk-related?
to me, aerling is just navy and gold so that's really nothing special, and echo is just diamond dust and we already did that
cubdrop is the only kin that's gotten items unrelated to the kin itself as far as i can see

aerling hasn't been used on anything but lk items
echo has that thing of being diamond dust + yellow/yellowish orange (stanford collected a few items linked in the suggestion thread)
leafkit is not cherie but also hasn't been used outside lk items
cubdrop has indeed gotten items outside of lk

I think the suggestions come from the fact that stagony has a scheme, barkhiest became ghastly, cubdrop's had a few uses, so why can't the others?

i just re-discovered this hair and realized how perfect it is for halfatars, so naturally i made a few
considering i don't own much toxic to begin with this turned out well
