yeah.. so my current one pretty much sucks, thus I tried redoing the random little fairy.
Here she is offering some totallyharmless-completely-non-radioactive cookies. 

   
I don't know why the glow looks like fireworks, I'll smooth it out.
I tried making the background somewhat resemble a flower, tell me if it worked! And please don't ask why the cookies are glowing lol, I just wanted to do some cool lighting on the girl haha.

I also changed the hair color and unsluttyfied her, how did I do? Also, it's not too big, is it? the avs are 64X64 right?

edited the hair, but the ponytail still looks like crap, so i'll work on that some more a bit later

How's the third one looking?

I think it's just easier for the viewer to 'believe' (couldnt think of a better word) because your new one looks almost like shes wearing pajamas (although you may have wanted that look..)

But yeah, it looks pretty neat so far. The background subtly works for me. I think i prefer the middle hair for some reason, but i think the darker tones should be slightly lighter, just to generally make it easier to see. But try not to make the hair too light, though im sure you'll watch that.

yeah, thats why i wanted to do the glow, because I couldn't squeeze in any real shading..

And i guess you're right about the nakedness, i dunno.. I'm not too into fairies to be honest, that's why i changed my avy to me instead of some random doodle i made when i was bored, so I don't really have any theories on her feelings/fears..  But you know, I've seen quite a few fairies fully clothed so thats why i dressed her, I never really considered having her completely naked.. That, and I just don't want to give Jalonso the satisfaction of resluttyfying her heheh =p

I didn't have time to work on it today, so expect an update maybe tomorrow or monday
