This technique has limited applications, however, it provides a clean "canvas" and offers some interesting layering options. You'll want to experiment with the order in which you add items, as it does affect the layering. There are also limited items that can be used, so it's a matter of trial and error.
Here are a few examples of scenics I've made with this technique:
*There are many different generations of this item; check the MP for the lowest price before buying if you aren't fussy about generation.
**This is a Monthly Collectible item. Check 
for a possible better price before buying!

4. Start creating!
I haven't personally used this technique, but I saw it shared awhile ago so I figured I'd include it here (I have Cheepz and did confirm, through use of the MP dressing room, that it works). It seems to have the same limitations as the Ants/Nightmare/Wisp technique, but (at the time of this post), the price tag is a bit lower.
I'll add examples if I ever use this combination.
NIGHTMARE*/WORLD OF _____

1. Equip The Nightmare (Bitten)

3. Start creating!
I only use this combination when I want to turn my avatar - the next technique uses another combination with World of _____ but leaves much less blood to cover. Unfortunately, it only works from the front, so this is my go-to option for reversed avatars. You can get different effects by turning your avatar, so sometimes this is useful. You'll more than likely want to hide or distract from the blood with a scarf, necklace, or other item - this can vary depending on your choice of background. Different colors of World of _____ can make this easier as well.
Here's an example of scenics I've made with this technique:
I don't use this technique much. lol This was my first scenic and made before I learned the next technique - I used the scarf from 
to create the owl nest.

1. Equip Nano-C ((Firmware Rev. 8.0) Targeting Assist Helmet)
2. Equip Night Stalker (Faceless Visage)
3. Equip Agape's Cut
Your avatar should now be headless
4. Equip World of _____ (default pose)
5. Start creating!
Up until recently, this was my go-to technique for creating scenics. It leaves a very small amount of blood to cover and also allows use of head and hand-equipped items. The only limitation is that it must be used from the front.
Here are a few examples of scenics I've made with this technique:
You might notice in the third example that I didn't bother covering the blood. I decided it worked well enough with the color scheme and falling leaves to let it alone. In the first example, the bird nest is from 
and an example of how nicely head items can be used with this technique.
*There are many different generations of this item; check the MP for the lowest price before buying if you aren't fussy about generation.
**You can also use the Disciple of Sainte Ciel pose from 
if you already have this item, want it, or it's a better price. There are three different generations, so check the MP for the lowest price if you aren't fussy about generation.

4. Equip Planet X (Alien Princess' Body)
5. Equip _____'s Rose (Spirits of _____, either hand -
left will place a few butterflies near the top of your "canvas", right will create a line of them from the bottom to the right, but this will shear some backgrounds. Sometimes this can create interesting effects, so it's best to experiment)
6. Start creating!
This is my favorite technique at the moment. It allows the use of head and hand-equipped items (the hand not occupied by the butterflies, anyway), and _____'s Rose comes in so many different colors that it's easy to blend. Even when blending isn't possible, so many scenics feature nature and the outdoors that they fit in nicely regardless. No matter what, butterflies are a lot prettier than a dripping bloody neck.
lol The only limitations here are that you can't turn the avatar around without getting a giant squidgy mass of tentacles and you lose a hand for holdable items.
Here are a few examples of scenics I've made with this technique:
As you can see, the butterflies are virtually invisible in the first and third examples. In the second example they're visible but pretty inoffensive, at least in my opinion.
