yeah.. so my current one pretty much sucks, thus I tried redoing the random little fairy.
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? |

Thanks for photobucketifying. Yep, 64x64 avs, and it looks great other than the hair. It's currently too invisible. DX ------------- http://pixelmonkey.ensellitis.com">

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. -------------  http://larw-ck.deviantart.com">

I always considered fairies to be naked, free from the fear of nakedness, etc. Overall there seems to be lacking shadow, althought it is a pretty small piece I guess, it might get busy, its just that besides the glow from the cookies, there isn't really any shading going on. I love the wings though, they look luminescent. The flower kinda looks like smokey plumes when I first looked at it, but its pretty flowery the more I look at it.  |

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 |

You're tempting me to make a sultry naked fairy Joint room

| When I first looked at it I thought she was sleeping. It's nice, maybe you could add glow? As in tiny sparks floating around her wings? And there is nothing wrong with your current avatar, I think it's pretty. |

added another update: Yay or Nay? @ dra_chan - I meant my old avatar that's the first pixel in my gallery. The one i have this moment is ok, i think i might keep it (which is kind of why this last update is so late heh) @ jalonso - |

Any more ideas before I submit this? How's the glow? To be honest, I don't really want to work on this much anymore, cause I like my current avatar more. And I updated that one a little bit too (will edit in gallery soon-ish) soo.. speak now if there's anything else wrong! (or forever hold yer peace heheh!) |
