Anyone have any interesting stylistic or matching avatar challenges to inspire me?

You can try making a matching avatar out of my inventory... That's been a challenge for me lately. Joking.

If you have avatar block or something try thinking of a theme and working around it. World war 2 or Rock stars or geek or something else.

A while ago I saw a challenge that was to make an avatar based on a song you like. It was supposed to be matching and not simply be based on an outfit from the music video.

Or another challenge that was to make a good avatar with a maximum of 10 items (no price limit).

@Batsi: That's not too hard. Not many of the expression items are included in that limit but a lot can be done. Try a price limit of 1500g. ;D

XD Yeah, I was going to say... 100k is an awesome budget to work with. <3

Eheh, and just for that, I'm going to equip The Mistake after this. Believe it or not, I originally bought that item just so I could have a pink head item. x .x; We really had that few pink items. Ohhhh now I wanna go all 05ish CBer. o wo Ha! Thanks for the idea!

But for Jace;
Yeah for avatar block, I usually just make an outfit with the last item I've bought. This isn't too hard, but sometimes that's an MC I don't care for. I also count new EI poses as 'new items' in this case. Some EI phases can be dreadful to work with when they really don't fit your style. D:

How about something as simple as making a matching avatar around the buzz's chestplate? It's green, purple, white, red, blue, and a hint of yellow if you're picky enough. You also don't get to use handhelds and your hands must both be in default position. It's not the easiest thing to work around. x .x
