:: Living Avatars! Avatar Edits ::Come and bring your avatar to life![ Shop: Open // Customs: Bribe Only ]● ● ●_ I n t r o d u c t i o n_ ● ● ●______________________________________________________________“ Welcome to the edit branch of Living Avatars! This is where I will make pretty clothes for your avatar to wear. n.n My goal is to provide decent avatar edits to Gaians for prices everyone can afford.
- What are avatar edits? - Simply put, they are pictures of your avatar that I draw clothes onto. They can be made to look like your favorite anime character, or show off an interesting costume of my (or your) own design. Unfortunately, however, you can't equip avatar edits to your avatar; they're just drawings. ^^;
I repeat, you can NOT equip these clothes! They are not items, they are just drawings.
- How do you make them? - Different editors use a variety of different programs to do their editing. Personally, I use a combination of Microsoft Paint for the pixel work, Microsoft Word for the layering, and PhotoImpact 5 for special effects such as fading or recoloring. :3
While I hope to add more soon, the current selection is quite limited. ^^;; So please be patient while I try to extend my range a bit. Until then, I hope you enjoy your visit. n.n ”● ● ●_ U p d a t e s_ ● ● ●____________________________________________________________________05/28 - started revamping the thread 05/26 - added Gothic Summer Collection edits 02/11 - added Petitions section for both past edits and new commissions 01/30 - added new "Harvest Moon Wedding" outfits and 10 new Wigs 01/03 - added new Na'vi skin tone to Bases and Wigs section

● ● ●_ R u l e s_ ● ● ●________________________________________________________________________“ In order to keep things organized and to keep me from trying to strangle you, there are a few rules that everyone must follow.1. Do NOT PM me! There are a few exceptions, but most orders should be placed in the thread.2. Do NOT steal any of my edits. And more importantly, NEVER remove my signature from ANY edit!3. Be polite. Saying "please" and "thank you" goes a long way.4. If there aren't any open slots for the Custom Edits list, DO NOT ORDER! That should be common sense, but consider this a reminder.5. Do NOT stretch the page or quote any front page posts! It's my biggest pet peeve. >o<6. Please do NOT advertise in this thread. It's like eating your Big Mac in a Burger King; it's rude and disrespectful.
I reserve the right to add rules if necessary. ”● ● ●_ O r d e r i n g__P r o c e d u r e_ ● ● ●_____________________________________________________“ Follow these steps to order from this shop.
First, figure out what your avatar base will be. I require a naked base with no background. Depending on what you're editing, you may need to take off certain parts of your avatar. For instance, if you are ordering an edit with a wig, you must provide a base without hair. **The best place to make an avatar base is TekTek.** It is perfectly fine to have me put an edit onto a base purchased from another shop. But please make sure it's okay that I do so; certain editors require that you have permission before having other editors (me) use their bases. I will never remove the other editor's signature.
Second, fill out the appropriate form. This will be listed with the section of edits you are ordering from. The form isn't that important, however, as long as I understand what you're asking for.
Third, send the trade for the correct amount of gold to me, broken_angel. If you ordered a custom edit, send the trade after I've confirmed the price.
Finally, I will send you your order via PM. Make sure your PMs are set to public! If I cannot PM your order, I will post it in the thread. Once the order is sent, I will confirm the trade. Then you accept and complete the trade. ”● ● ● ● ● ● ●

“ Specials are edits that have extra options, such as animation or backgrounds, but are not limited. They are generally a little more expensive than regular pre-mades, but make up for it in value.
These edits cannot be changed except for the options shown, but recoloring is free.
Each Special has its own order form at the bottom of its section. Please use the appropriate form when ordering. ”● ● ●_ H a r v e s t__M o o n__W e d d i n g_ ● ● ●_________________________________________________1,500g per animationOutfits available separately for 150g each This animated edit features a cute couple and their sweet little wedding. You can either marry one of the ten bachelors or bachelorettes from the Harvest Moon videogame series, or marry another person of your choice. You can even have two characters marry each other if you would like. There are no gender restrictions, so all kinds of couples are allowed. ^^
The price above covers all available options, with or without creating your own bride or groom. However, the outfits and accessories are available separately, without the animation, for 150g each (includes choice of accessory).

“ The edits below were made in support of item petitions around Gaia.
If you request one of the edits below, please sign the petition they are for! In other words, if you like the item idea, then support it and help it become a reality.
Since these edits are mainly just for supportive purposes, they are free. No payment is required for any of these edits.
Recoloring is free for all of the following items. ”● ● ●_ T h e__E d i t s_ ● ● ●__________________________________________________________________The Colored Fishnet Stockings Petition Pink Stockings :: Red Stockings :: Orange Stockings :: Yellow Stockings :: Green Stockings :: Blue Stockings :: Violet StockingsVash Wants a Donut Petition Donut F1 :: Donut F2* :: Donut M1 :: Donut M2** Please make sure your avatar matches the pose shown in the sample.A Cow Item(s) Petition Cowkini :: MooMoo Plushie :: MooMoo Umbrella :: MooMoo Umbrella w/ HornsUse this form when ordering a current Petition Edit:[img]http://tinyurl.com/58mmvo[/img] [i]Petition Edit[/i] [b]Username:[/b] (who I should send the edit to) [b]Edit(s):[/b] (exact name of the edit) [b]Base(s):[/b] (may be an actual avatar or naked base) [b]Other notes:[/b] (layering instructions, recolor, etc.) ● ● ●_ P e t i t i o n__C o m m i s s i o n s_ ● ● ●___________________________________________________
Do you have a petition you would like me to make sample items for? Depending on what you're looking for, I'll probably be able to help. The price is also dependent on what kind of items you want me to make.
Level 1 Items :: Free These are the easiest kind of items for me to make, and thus are free of charge. - Recoloring of existing Gaia items - Slight modifications to existing Gaia items - Small, one-piece items
Level 2 Items :: 500g each Anything that is not Level 1 falls under this category. - Medium to large or complex items - Entire outfits or multiple pieces
Not sure where your idea would fall? Just ask.
What not to order at all: These are items I would prefer not to make petition-wise; they would fall under the category of a full custom edit instead. - Cosplay costumes (small pieces are fine, but not entire outfits) - Hairstyles
There is no form for requesting one of these edits. Simply post or PM a link to the petition and a description or picture of what you want.

“ Custom avatar edits are really the main focus of my editing. Not only do these help me gain more experience and improve, but the more custom orders I do, the more pre-mades I can add. ^^
When you're requesting, please keep in mind my skill level. I have the right to reject your order if I don't think that I can do it.
Please try to include good reference pictures, preferably a full-body, frontal view. If you can't find a picture like this, then at least include pictures of individual parts so I can put them together. A written description always helps, too. :3 ”● ● ●_ F u l l__C u s t o m s_ ● ● ●______________________________________________________________Simple / Moderate / Complex An adequate bribe for any level of custom edit should be at least 1,000g.● ● ●_ C u s t o m__B a s e s_ ● ● ●_____________________________________________________________Separate custom wig edits like these are also available.
Feel free to use bases purchased here for other edits. Just keep my signature somewhere on the edit, please. ● ● ●_ C u s t o m__S c e n e s_ ● ● ●___________________________________________________________I can create custom backgrounds for your avatars and/or edits. These are great for group pictures and special occasions. ^^
Note: A background is separate from a custom edit. ● ● ●_ H o w__t o__G e t__O n e_ ● ● ●__________________________________________________________In order to get a custom edit of any kind, follow the steps outlined below.
Step 1: Fill out the order form below, filling in as much as you can with as much detail as possible. For the "Price Estimate," list whatever you think would be a reasonable price for the request. The average price for a custom is 2-3k, but it depends on the complexity of the request.
Step 2: I'll either accept or decline your request, depending on whether I have time to make the edit, how difficult it is, and other factors. If I accept, move on to Step 3. If I decline, I'll tell you why, and if it's due to time, then you're free to come back later.
Step 3: Go ahead and send the trade. I'll send you a sample of the edit when I'm done with it. At that point, you can change the trade to reflect how much you liked (or didn't like) the edit. Finally, I'll complete the trade and send you the final edit. ^^

:: The Minishops and Resources Center (MRC) ::

“ Living Avatars! is now featured in The MRC. ^^ If you like my shop, check out the thread and leave some comments.
To give Kudos to my shop at the Minishops & Resources Center, please copy this code and post it in this thread. ”[color=green][b]I LIKE THIS SHOP![/b] SHOP TITLE: Living Avatars! Edit Branch LINK: gaiaonline.com/forum/t.40051863/ MRC NUMBER: #26.4 WHY I LIKE THIS SHOP: [Explain your experience. No length limit.] [/color] Thank you for your support~● ● ●_ M u s e u m_&_G a l l e r y_ ● ● ●_________________________________________________________“ I'm a proud member of a couple of different guilds for editors.
The first is the Official Avatar Editors' Guild, where editors of all kinds gather and share the pixelized creations they've made. This is where I keep a "museum" of all the edits I've made, called Bunnies 'n' Wine. I have edits there that go all the way back to 2005, when I first started editing! Come check it out if you're interested in seeing my roots. ” “ The other editing guild that I'm a member of is The Editorial, a place where editors and edit-lovers can come together. I have a shop there that mimics this one, but it may become something else later. I also keep a collection of all the edits I've purchased there, called Ani's Edit Treasure Gallery. So far, I've collected over eight hundred avatar edits from all over Gaia! The edits are sorted by both editor and character, with shops links when available, so if you find one you like, you can visit the shop it came from. ” ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
