~Portfolio Part One~


User Image Inventory Overview

30 pages of items, broken down:
13 - Black/Gray (shares with White/Gray)
5 - Blue
3 - Brown
3 - Green
2 - Orange
3 - Pink/Purple
3 - Red
3 - Yellow
10 - White/Gray


User Image Summary:
Your inventory has a lot of pages and a nice variety of lovely items. But, it seems on closer inspection that a lot of these pages are actually just EI's and you only have one of each EI. So your inventory is a tad misleading at first glance with respect to how many pages you have. On the one hand you have some fantastic choices in items, but on the other hand your commons and practical items are limited.



~Portfolio Part Two~


User Image Style Overview:
Bill, you like the dramatic and you like your avi to have a certain effortless flair. You don't want it too contrived, but you do want it to look good. So the EI's and cash shop items you have are very nice. Problem is, you only have one of each so if they are an odd color then you are out of luck or you have problems matching.

It's nice that you want another EI, the Nestegg, but I am wondering if you cannot do the same but with regular clothes. All the Nestegg is, is some swashbuckling shirts, breeches, shoes, you can get these anywhere, also a sword and some bandannas (you really going to wear them?), parrots, but you can buy those, etc etc. So maybe re-think that item and instead invest in some other commons. See examples below.

You favor blues and grays and the cooler tones predominate in your inventory. I think you could go for some warmer accent notes. You have no skins either. Those can be really cool in layers or alone.

Additionally, I like the gray hair for you much better than the black so I used that below. It has more definition, you don't always have to wear black with it, I think you would do well with that color.

User Image Category Sets:
Dramatic/Strong/Flair
Stylish/Quiet/Balanced
Dark/Dynamic/Intense
Monotones/Unexpected/Whimsical



User Image Dramatic/Strong/Flair:
You said you liked black and orange, so do I and I like making it not look like Halloween. I even used a bat item here but you can't see it. I love the Dark Knight Fish Lance it's a really nice hand held item I had not seen before. There is also more gray and orange so I did one like that again with the feather but as a scarf.
- Main inventory item: Jacks Bat Clip
- Requested Item: Gogh Reed
- Consider buying: Great Old One for the wings
- Consider buying: Black Fenghuang Feather (this is sort of "iffy" but if you like black and orange it could be considered).
- Useful common(s): You need more tops.
Example:

User Image Stylish/Quiet/Balanced:
Here I use a color combination I have not seen you use. It's easily done and if you like this you can use a variation of some of the items. I did it with and without the Oneiros items. That item is strong and I like it alot but some find it overpowering. You don't really need the Azrael item or the Black Wolf. Just use a cravat instead of the teeth. XD
- Main inventory item: Death Whisper/Jinx/Demonic Anklets, etc
- Consider buying: Fluorite Borealis- you really need some eyes. These are purple, but there are also blue and pink-ish if you fancy that.
- Consider buying: Dapper Gent's Vest either in purple or any of the colors make good outfits actually.
- Useful common(s): Shoes, get some good boots.
Example:

User Image Dark/Dynamic/Intense:
I can't remember if you have tried something like this or not.
- Main inventory item(s): Nitemare Sash, YHBT, Atrum Egg
- Consider buying: Ok well here I did use the Nestegg boots, but they could be any boots like Blades Boots for example.
- Consider buying: White Drome Egg...didn't you have one? If you don't like that, then consider other eyes like the Borealis eyes.
- Useful common(s): Belts, they can add subtle hints of color or silver or gold (actually you don't see the belt on this one so well).
Example:

User Image Monotones/Unexpected/Whimsical:
I just did this one in order to suggest a couple of items you might like. ^_^
- Main inventory item: Jinx (I like this item, so many interesting possibilities), Lunar Cloak on the alternative (I know you said you wanted to sell this but see below).
- Consider buying: Gimpi, it has a nice jacket and some other gray toned poses but it's really expensive so make sure you like the poses.
- Consider buying: Nartian Rock. Now actually this avatar uses the inexpensive Nartian Star too, so don't get confused, that is not part of the Nartian Rock set. The cool silver pants are part of the set though.
- Useful common(s): Gloves, they can add a nice bit of color, or can take it to neutral.

~Portfolio Part Three~


User Image Budget: 50-700k gold

User Image Suggested to buy:
See above if any of the exotic items used strikes your fancy.
Get some boots, belts, gloves, accessories!

User Image Sell recommendations:
Well, basically you just need to consider which items you don't use of the EI's and sell some of them. Like that Wingding item, do you wear that? Lunar cloak, yes I agree that could be sold...maybe, unless keeping for investment purposes. Sometimes it is better not to liquidate too much. Gift of the Gods...meh, and what is that Dandii thing, do you ever wear that?

Addendum:
Lunar Cloak - Keep because this item hit an all time low in July and is just now recovering and starting to go back up. Look to the long term and see if the price has gone up much in a month.

A second EI, oh, hmmm....*ponders* I am not sure. I don't know which ones you like the most.

I thinking of going for Fremere's because it's two colors i go with often,orange and silver.And since it's a strange orange-goldenrod,i could use it in conjunction with the one i already have and balance avi's out.Plus,it could work well with my Inari's Beads.

Fremere's would be a good choice for you. I have 2 of them and I find it worth it.
