Welcome to Gaia! ::

what type of avatars do you like to make?
weather they are clutter, non-matching, realistic or matching.
post them here.

me, i prefer matching clutter. but i still like to do some non-matching ones

If something doesn't match, even in a small way, it bugs me. I like clutter if it is controlled and spread out - and on purpose wink
I also like avatars to have a theme, and to not just be a jumble of matching items.

Sometimes I just go for color, but there are times when I create my avatar with some kind of personality/character in mind. I guess it's sort of my way of playing dress up.

And then there are days when I just want to make something cute, of course. whee

I'm really nazi about matching items on my avatar. xD

my avies nearly always tell a story. As i create them, they evolve into a character of sorts usually. I like for people to view them and feel like they have met someone new. So for most of my Avies, the write up is just as important to me as the avi itself. On rare occasions (like today) I will make an avi that is an interpretation of a song, or a peice of art but that is rare.

Color theme is important to me too, but as an artist, i enjoy usuing various shades of the same hue. Neurotic obsessive matching makes me crazy. And i never let matching dictate the direction one of my creations should go. Matching is merely ONE element in art. I feel that balance,flow and continuity are as important if not MORE important than matching.
