Hello everyone!

New discussion topic!
USERMADE ITEMS!

What is/are your favorite usermade item(s)?
- Have you created your own item?
- Is it something you want to do / do again?
- What do you like about this item so much?
- Anything else?


I have always wanted to make my own item(s) and have a thread here for ideas~

As always, looking forward to your responses! You can answer one or all of the questions or just post your thoughts~

I definitely love usermade items! I collect skins, and I love that users have done a lot of skins and armmods and face detail items that are all super useful.

When I think of all of the usermade items I have, my favorite that comes to mind is User Image. It might not be the one I use the most, but I know if I had carte blanche to make a full item I'd totally make one of my fluffy cat. Plus, I love the art quality on this item and its uniqueness.

If I had the option to recolor one pose of an item, I'd selfishly recolor User Image in so many colors. But I'm not actively questing a ticket, as I'm fine saving my money and just imagining it instead. Ha!

Love the ideas on your custom thread! I want all of those to come to fruition. Especially the bee fur and the elf ears!

I haven't made any custom items, and I doubt I will. I imagine I'd be paralyzed by indecision in the face of all the options.

I enjoy seeing what neat things others come up with though! I've got a weakness for usermade sparkly hair items.

My favorite usermade item bar none is User Image Punk's Flight. Unfortunately the metal doesn't exist as a color anywhere else. There are some recolors, fortunately, but I have a matching item coming out in the future, ahem, I would like to see more matching items in the future.

I like this item because it's steampunk, and for whatever reason, there's a dearth of new steampunk items on the site. (Out of style, I guess?)

I have made usermade recolors (4), and there are others on the way. I think I will probably do it again, though maybe not as quickly as in the past (money is a factor, hehe). I'd like to do some custom items sometime (steampunk! sci fi!), but that's just a dream at this point.

Yesss me too!! Have you seen this ninja

Users are really amazing at filling in the gaps when they can.
Omg its so cute! I love when the item has a story or is sentimental in some way. (But that price)
To go with that I really like this usermade series, both skin and animal User ImageTessa the Thylacine although sad.

That would be soo awesome for your avis! I can totally see that

Aw thank you!! I hope so! Those two are my fav favs. Definitely the ears. The bee fur is for this old old avi haha User Image

For sure, it seems like a lot of options and a looong process. I am always interested to hear how people make items come true!

Yes! So much creativity! I do too redface sparkly hairs forever

That is an awesome item. I do love the colors. ooo a new color, what will be its name Hehe I hope you get your wish! Cough

So sad there are a lack of steampunk items, is there even a guide for them?

Thats pretty amazing! Congrats!! It seems really expensive...
I hope your dream can come true some day ^_^

Hey so do you write story?

Yeah, I write stories. I don't know if you saw my post for the community picks contest, but I'm actually in the middle of a personal challenge, writing 13 rough drafts in a year's time.

It's actually kind of nerve wracking, because I like to go back and fix things, but while I do a good scene, I'm not really that great at putting together a cohesive plot. But I'm six novels in, and I think I'm getting better . . .

as for the new color, I named it punkbronze in honor of Punk's Flight, which is also the source of the 'feather' color I used in my Parched recolor

Yes I have! Already subscribed, and I've been abusing that guide like crazy. I'm trying to tabulate how many times I've used each skin, so I've been squinting at tiny face details and color differences in old avatars because I totally don't save item lists and later torture myself because of that. Your guide has been a lifesaver for that. So thank you!

I love the Thylacine skins! They're so subtly unique in shade, and as someone who likes to play around with tattoo layering they just work great for weird creatures. I also love the Humaniki series, as it's great to play around with other base skintones without having to mess around with potions and changing my base just for one avatar and then having to change back.

That avatar is so cute! The bee fur would be so perfect for it!

I also wish there were more steampunk items! I feel like I rehash the same half-dozen items every time I attempt a steampunk avatar.

Also, just realized I already have all four of your items, especially as I nab any item that gives me more steampunk goggles! heart

Yay!! Suweet! That makes me very happy. Sorry there are no links yet, I burned out hard after making all those images/graphics.
But the goal is complete, all skins visually accounted for! Your welcome!! There are such tiny tiny details in each. I would move one, move another, squint, move it back. So I completely understand that.

They are great! I actually was just able to nab two. Thats awesome! They are such nice items.
Me too but why so expensive crying I have to use the cheater skin items instead. But I love that they exist! It would make things suuper easy.
I wish they offered them like the invisibility cloak now.

Thank you! She is super old, my first "omg bodymods exist" avi! It would be perfect ^_^

2100 words in a day, Monday through Saturday. Not giing to bed until it's done, which can kind of get stinky, but it's the only way. I'm aiming for the nanowrimo 50,000 word novels, which means that sometimes the story is bigger than my word count, which can be a little frustrating. Also for the most part, no editing allowed. Which means the story when it's done is . . . not really done, not really something publishable, but at least it's a rough draft, so I'll have plenty of material to edit when I get done.

Also, punkbronze isn't really a scheme, it's just the name of the color of metal. The item is one pose of a triple treat ticket, and it incorporates all the colors in punk's flight (feather, the metal color, and that brown)

See above, the name punkbronze is the color name, and the one pose of the TTT that I submitted is in the colors of punk's flight.
