May 2025 Angel Item Avi Challenge
    about this/why this challenge
    hello! I wanted to start hosting these since angel items often feel
    a bit niche in style, or it doesn't feel usable for different styles/fashions
    and I wanted to encourage people to try challenging that mindset.
    (if anyone wants/is hosting a contest version of this, lmk!)


this month's angel item:
User Image Lei Down Your Worries
[MAY 1 CSU] (you can also post your thoughts about the item there

go ahead and post any (dream/builder) avis using the item, but!
out of the box this item seems to fit [nature, islander, dancing, soft(?) gender neutral], so here are some
optional item/pose specific challenges:
  • decor or clowncore avi using the Lei (first pose)
  • masc avis just to counter the bias from the fem preview avi
  • arm or leg mods (leaves included) for a fancy (dinner/ball?) party
  • avant garde runway looks

  • user suggested or requested challenges go here
      is there anything you want to see people do/attempt?

    - witch/mage/wizard bc your host has a bias (bloodwitch)
    - highlighting and juxtaposing a summer/spring nature theme with a winter themes —using arm or leg mods, leaves required (bloodwitch)
    - use this item for mermay looks! (bloodwitch)
    - suggestion (username)



talking points/discussion:
  • what pose(s) do you find the most versatile? (in general vs for yourself)
  • what poses you think or have found to be most challenging to use and why
  • thoughts on this theme? would you like more items like it?

cuts

(HAIR)
original // agape// sketchbook hairpins // less than 3 hairpins // schoolboy's razor Barbaric Beautician

sketchbook + less than 3 hairpins // agape + sketchbook + less than 3 hairpins // agape + less than 3 hairpins


  • agape removes the front (draped over shoulder) hair
  • sketchbook hairpins crops the back hair short
  • less than 3 hairpins removes the flowers

  • technically the schoolboy razor works, but the flower covers it up. and then using less than 3 hairpins negates the schoolboy razor. just weird wonky interactions btwn the two. (does remove front hair if you only use it)

hey guys! I was having trouble finding a green that matched the leaves, and I know people usually prefer to make on scheme avis, so we're gonna have a tiny subsection this month for items with matching (or close) poses.

thank you to Lenoxia and aemperatrix for finding these two items and providing links!

i think the part that took the longest for that one was the top area even tho u cant see much under the accessories lol

i had a different outfit started for the male avi but couldnt find arms that matched the exact black (bc gaia just has to have so many slightly different tones of black) so that took a bit

and the third one was gonna be a ghost but i couldnt really think of how to make it work so i got the idea to go for a water theme

lul you say that, but it also makes sense for color balance reasons.

yeah, sometimes I just give up and mix my black tones, like in yee olde days. but it can look kinda gross if you have all one black tone and then a big singular other black tone, with the newer items. basically usually depends on how many ******** to give I have that day xD

ooooo
I do love how the remnants of the ghost theme/idea is still there though.
and dannnng that armmod is gonna be killer for mer avis this month. I have been enlightened.





yoooo
gosh I love seeing cluttered avis like this. the skillll
also idk if it was intended, but the porcupine/hedgehog look is giving me life!

Thanks! Petit Cherie or whatever that scheme is called is usually a good scheme to mix with other bright greens and warm browns. I meant to throw some bamboo on there, but I think he turned out leafy enough User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
