Welcome to the
Fashion Magizine

Welcome to the Gaian Fashion Magazine-- a hangout/magzine made just for avatar editors! The two editors, AyanamiChan and maulie, made this thread to help educate Gaians about the wonders of custom avatars. So many people have asked about them, that it's just about time someone got all the answers together in one place.

Wow!!! This is just great! *bows*

You're really great. I love this idea. The admin team should start a avatar design forum...not just a thread blaugh


Thanks much!! Maybe, if a lot of people like this, we can get it stickied. ^^

Yeah, just like the Gaia Times! ^_^

I'll PM someone in the admin team 'bout this...^_^

I hope one of your wrote to Arwen to advertise your spiffy new zine!!!
My sister, Seeress, did the one in my sig. She likes to do pixel work, too. I, myself, go completely nuts after the first ten minutes. O.o
I'd say this magazine will be very popular. Will you be doing a tutorial on custom objects? (Like weapons? ^^)

Ooo very cute ^__^ maybe I'll try one when I have the change ^__^ HAHAHAHA!
Oooo, this magazine is right up my alley! I hope it gets stickied, 'cause this is something that I would enjoy keeping up with. biggrin I also like the format of the issues... Helpful tutorials, interviews, and pretty avatar art to look at. Very nice!

If I may ask a question, would it be possible for people to submit tutorials or articles? Or perhaps people could submit their custom avatars for comments and critiques... I know that I wouldn't mind some helpful comments on my work.

Anyway, thanks AyanamiChan and Maulie for coming up with such a great idea. 3nodding
Some old tailoring job I made when I was working for Azrael's Mansion.
