The Aywas Thread

Thanks
People might of course choose to mix and match with completely different things, but I'm glad it works as a set, anyway

Did a new (or rather reworked an old, unused) set for the aywas avatars... But but but... I want to be done (though I still need to colour the lines and make item icons) but I'm not sure... For one thing that cloak is utterly boring (behind). And for another the quiver with arrows is magically floating behind her back and she's got the extra thing on her belt that I guess I can leave just for looks, but maybe that's where the quiver ought to be. Though reworking those bits might mean the items can't be "layered" properly on site. (Items are hair, face, top, bottom - i.e. trousers, boots, belts etc, bow & arrows, and cloak. Both bow and cloak have layers both above and below the avatar, which is what makes things a bit tricky...

I think it looks fine. The quiver doesn't appear to float to me, it just reads as being behind the cloak and adding another strap could make it look a little too busy at the smaller resolution.
One thing I might consider changing is the simple red/black stripe on the trousers near the hip. It seems a little too modern and doesn't quite fit with the ornate designs elsewhere.
Love the work on the bow and arrow though.

Thanks. But with regards the the floating quiver, it has to look OK with other clothing items. So I did add a strap after all, and redid the cloak (the part behind the avatar). The black lines will be coloured, and I think I'll keep the coloured stripe near the hip just to tie the trousers together colouring wise with the top. But thanks anyway

It's that time of year again. Yes. February.
And in Aywas that means sending love letters to everyone so you can collect currency points to buy the things you made for them...

So this is this year's Valentine card:


and since none of you will get the joke otherwise...
Here's a chugon, for reference:

(Might not be the best example, since I made the belly look like a separate item in this one...)

Pfft I had to shrink it down to 400 pixels high. I knew there was a width limit - which is why I made it "tall and narrow". *sigh*

And I'm told the & is a "spelling error". (Grammatical error perhaps but then I never intended for the phrase to be accurate I just thought I'd heard it before... and it worked with chugon.)

It's not really a grammatical error either. I guess they just don't like ampersands.
You'll just have to put "and" instead if you have the space.

It was a good drawing anyway and I did "get" the joke even if I didn't know the name it refered to.

Thanks
and the "&" was used because "and" forced me to use considerably smaller text. Well, maybe not that much smaller but I wanted the text as big as possible because it looked too small first time around (when I used 2 rows and "and")

It doesn't work without the &

I didn't think so either :p
