TheQualityofMercy Whee! Here's my addition to the Gulid-Slumber Party.
(Too bad Tyran isn't here!)
I wanted to put a design on the shirt, but it proved too complicated a design. It was the plaid skirt all over again! Any suggestions for adding some simple details?
 I know you were trying for 'sleepy,' but with that grin, you look kinda stoned...

Thanks Lucca, I love you too!

I was a little worried about that, but if I changed the smile any more, then it leaves no option other than looking stoned.
Ah! The arm is too low!!
And too light...bugger...

But...I'm not very fond of the harsh Gaia-outline!
I do need to buck up my lines though. Perhaps I'll feel braver after I give my lily-liver something to chew on.

If you sharpen up the highlights, you get a glossy effect, which would help you better portray the latex in her outfit.
also notice that the shirt she's wearing (and the top of the boot) is banded and has some linear details on it. I suggest staring hard at the images, trying to pick out as much texture as you can and implement it then in your avatar.

The gathered hair is a little bit poofier. If you could add more stray strands, that would look spectacular.
Give the pleats in her skirt more variation in size and length, and make her skin a bit lighter. xd

I can't get the damn hair to look right... was fighting horribly with whether to make it in the style of the pic or in a more gaian-like style and then in a more me-like style... xDD
Any suggestions? ^____^

With avatars I find it helps to keep it as close to gaia as possible, that's why most of us try to have no antialiassing or blurring on the edges. It also makes the edits loook cleaner and clearer, due to the constraints of the small-scale image. Hair's trickier tho, 'cause not even the gaian pixel artists know what style they're aiming for. One moment they kee[ it really simple, the next they overdo it, like the long, straight female hair. (I think it's called "silk")
Personally I think simple works well, as it does in the two images you posted.
I'd keep the hair purple, as it contrasts from the outfit, making it a little less plain. It also sticks closer to the reference, as I think the commissioner will be expecting.
