Yeah, okay. I get that I missed the week I should have entered this avatar by about five bloody minutes, but if I get one more comment about how "Michale Jackson isn't a girl!!!1112312" I'm gonna dropkick a ********. He was a slender man - not like the bulky male base. AND SINCE YOU CAN'T SEE MY TITS THAT MAKES THIS THE BETTER CHOICE! GRAH!

I knew I should have thrown together a half-assed Rogue when the Masquerade evolved. Then again, it's not like changing my subject would make Gaians any less stupid... but it might piss me off less. stressed

There's somewhat of a mob mentality that flies through the cosplay arena from time to time. User Image One person goes all Negative Nancy and suddenly the rest are all "Yeah! scream No ref pic! That pixel is the wrong color! I bathe in sewage and drink bile!" ... User Image

Then there'll be a few that get it and make a constructive comment, or they're at least well worded, and then there's silence for a while. But then OH, here comes Nancy again, prancing her negativity like her s**t don't stink... User Image

Personally, while I would love to have more comments on my entries, I just wish they would at least read the description before they rate. User Image This week's been fine, so far... but it hasn't even been 24 hours yet, so who knows. User Image

Sorry to hear it's a rough start for you, Pyre. Here's hoping it picks up as the week progresses. User Image

I saw you in the spotlight just a few seconds after I rated yours, Xani! Is it still set up so the top-rated show? If so, that's pretty awesome.

And yeah. It's not like I expected, or even wanted, to win. But something other than "MJ isn't a girl! 1/5!" would be nice." At least I've gotten nice profile comments.

And I imagine I'll get those people bitching about ref images soon enough. I tried to find one, but all of the pictures with the red military jacket were when Michael had a jheri curl and there is nothing remotely similar on Gaia. And I wanted the red because the skipper coat has those big tuxedo tails.

I'd have gladly put multiple references if I could have, but the size limit is pretty small. MJ was an icon and I was trying to incorporate every iconic fashion statement of his I could think of. The fedora, the sunglasses, the military jacket, the loafers, the white socks. In concerts he often switched between a headset and a handheld mic. And Momo is as close to Bubbles as Gaia has. I think I'd rather have some comments on how Bubbles was a chimp, not a monkey, at this rate.

Well, I knew what I was getting myself into. I just made a knee-jerk decision when I clicked that submit button and only thought "Oh ********, what have I done?" five seconds later. gonk

I'm not sure if it's still top-rated... I think it might be based on "These people have received quite a few ratings in the past few minutes, so you should check 'em out!" ...but I could be wrong. User Image Still, that's awesome. User Image

I think the trick to multiple ref images is animation. The first week I put in my Darth Talon, I only used a static image. That week I didn't even rank. Second time, though, I had a rotating image and ended up in roughly 85th. Not a win, but a big improvement.

Definitely looks like you nailed it, to me. User Image

I, on the other hand, have been bitten by the steampunk bug. User Image


EDIT: Now I'm so conflicted! User Image I already have an original outfit entered for next week, but I've gotten many good comments on this outfit... and don't know if I should switch my entry to this one or not! User Image (I must admit, the other outfit, while decent, wasn't eye-popping awesome, while this one, I simply love the colors and tones...)

I do have to say, for any type of avatar, that's a damn nice color scheme. Good use of the Jinxi. User Image

Well, now. This is just uninspired. I started out trying to make an original Dragoon design and wound up as a pirate with a baby dragon side-kick. Godamned Albuquerque. I always make a wrong turn there.

Edit: Wait a sec. Wasn't there some wingly chick who looked kinda like this but in blue and white? Lenus or something? So LoD did manage to work it's way in there....

Made an honest effort to reduce the purple. I know it's simple, but baby steps people!
