I've decided after thinking a lot about the unmatching style that I don't like it, personally. It seems to me to be random and while I get that there are guidelines, the avatars that spawn from them seem...I don't know. It's important to know that I'm not bashing the style, I just don't think it's for me. It kind of annoys me because I don't really think of it as structured. Haha then again maybe I'll try it later and think completely different xd

yeah Raw linked me to that one earlier. These things really need to be combined for the best parts of both.

I actually agree now, after trying it.
But this isn't to say that I won't continue to include it in some avi's. XD

Yes, but non matching guides don't stay in the AT for long. 2 + 2's lasted a while but it dropped off, then some other ATers just copied it and posted it, I don't think they got up to 30 pages.

I don't think that has to do anything about the education you can get from inside the thread. Are you claiming the info old news? x.x;

No I don't think it does either. Just, I dunno, they never stick around.

XD That's kind of how I am with this style. I think some nonmatching outfits can really be "wow" and others are just... "eh." I dabble with nonmatching from time to time. My nonmatching avatars aren't good when I try to follow the rules. I think I start getting way too picky and equip items that just don't look good, but follow the rules... ...And I like how my nonmatching avatars turn out when I don't try to keep these rules in mind. Meaning, i can only pull off a good nonmatching avatar once in a while when I'm lucky. XD;

Isn't non-matching the red headed step child of the AT? Plus I think this style is just so hard to put a thumb on, a lot of people plan it out different. Because I think nonmatching avatars has more to do with flow then color, yes it's important but it's about big picture not matching. So to find a guide that really defines all sub-styles of nonmatching has yet to be created because everyone has their angle. That's kinda why I made this thread to see what everyone thought of this style.

Obviously if an avatar is going for a theme it won't necessarily match.
Those are still fun to play around with.

Not exactly true. Example O:

This is my smee avatar, a character form peter pan, I'm certainly going for a theme but the over all outfit matches.

Yeah.
Mm, lots of people do it differently, like there is the "Cute" style in the AT which is basicly non matching but you put a mole and a smile on. Yeah, maybe we should try and write one XD I see. =)

Well i was thinking of it, might be a lot to put on my plate but to have a really good guide on it takes more then what I've seen from other guides.

First off, love the avatar.
Secondly, yeah none of the non-matching guides really seem to be that great to me. For instance, they have examples of "bad avatars" but they don't really go into why it's a bad avatar, and same with the "good avatars"
