Past avatars, and thoughts about Avatar Talk.
A new avatar, and some future ones.
My newest avatar is a bird.

I'm very fond of the overall shape, especially the wings. The head looks really good too, and I'm happy to be using my Jinxi's charm and Padmavati's lotus again. But the leg area bothers me, because it's so damn bare, and I can't figure out anything to add there without making it look less like a bird. I tried an autumn stripes eggplant skirt, and it kinda worked, but wasn't the overall effect I wanted. I wish I could find a good tail for this that didn't cost over 100k.

Since the captain ara's nest egg's latest evolution, I bought a 5th gen one, and created two avatars to use it with in the future.

I love the face on this, and that it uses the skeleton bird. I was really disappointed that a warm starter pirate bandanna wouldn't layer with the hat though, since the glamrock band isn't as good a substitute.

I asked for a few rates on the tektek itself in the AT, and got mixed messages. Someone liked it enough to joke that they were going to steal it, and someone else said that using the hat was a "waste of a good item for matching" or some such BS like that. That was one of the most ridiculous comments I think I've heard in the AT, since who the hell are they to decide I can't use an item because I didn't match it omgperfectly. I also thought it was funny that someone called it "too steampunk" because the boots and jacket are items that can be used for that type of theme. Newsflash: the coat is a cowboy coat.

Zommmmbies! I love creepy looking avatars, and while I'm fond of the grombie skin, this is more my style of undead. The legs are kinda bare, but this is a themed avatar so I suppose I can't complain too much about that. I'm really looking forward to making this when my nest egg evolves. The oculus and the bags around the eyes on this skin are a cool combo.

This is going to end up being a very expensive avatar, due to the infernal spirit. I half wish I hadn't even looked at how the loincloth looked with this tektek, because I fell in love with it as soon as I did. I really want it to work out like this for layering. I've done a lot of testing already and most of it looks like it'll work, but I'm still holding my breath a bit.

I love how this avatar really looks like an actual character, rather than a canvas with items that match stuck on it. I'm sure I'll get comments that the head is too white anyway, though. I want to ask for rates for it, but I'm hesitant because I really like this avatar and don't want it stolen. Waiting a month is going to be excruciating.

My Jinxi's charm and Padmavati's lotus have been my two favorite items as of late. I used them in my last avatar, and am using them in my current one, and plan to use them in the avatar above too. I feel a bit of ownership towards the Jinxi's charm, just because I've been using it so much, and I don't often see others with it.
