Hello everyone!

New discussion topic! What do you like to see in users' avatar closets, galleries, and showcases?

- Do you like to see their older avis and their newer avis to show change over time? Or do you just want to see their newest work?

- Do you like when they include the items they use most frequently?

- What other things do you look forward to seeing in closets and galleries? Guides, links, contest entries, other things?

- Do you like to see a ton of avis or just a few select ones?

>>Any advice for building an avatar thread??


I like to see change over time from oldest to newest. I also kind of like seeing items they use for their avis. My galleries always have a TON of avis and I am not sure if that overwhelms people. sweatdrop

As always, looking forward to your responses! You can answer one or all of the questions or just post your thoughts~

I don't often go into gallery threads. I tend to check out the favorited avatars a lot more. I like to see what's trending and what's popular, sometimes I see a face combination that gets me looking at my own layers. I should go into those threads more, some of them are amazing. I like the creativity that goes into some of them, with forum sets, and themed categories - there are some very creative people on this site.

I think it’s always interesting to view galleries to see that person’s style, sort of like an artist has their own style. I guess avi building is sort of an art form surprised

Oldest to newest is definitely more interesting for me - to be able to see the changes over time. But I’ve seen many threads that are grouped by theme not by time created, so again everyone has their own methods.

I like the posts where people explain their methods or inspiration behind each new avatar they created, for ones like that I might subscribe to their thread because it’s interesting to see their thought/creation process written out. I don’t really care whether it has a frequently used items post or not, I’m just there for viewing the outfits!

I do like seeing how their avi's change over time. I love how most people either start with a bunch of different, even clashing style, and then over time, they tend to find one or a few styles that they stick to.
Or sometimes, its even the opposite, which I think is really fun. Like, they start with just one style and one color that they focus on/are most comfortable with, and then overtime, they expand to a bunch of different style and more colors.

Also, on a little more selfish note, I like to poke through the closets and see if there's any cool items I haven't seen before, or get some outfit ideas for myself redface

Id say its an art form! The layering, and the color choice can be very artistic.
Okk nice! I agree, I really like to see the change over time as well.
Wow that sounds really interesting. They they post each new outfit with inspirations? That sounds a lot more fun over time than just a static post.

It is really cool to see growth and change over time~
Id say personally I have changed in complexity but kept a wide range of styles (I can never settle on anything for too long whee )
But I agree with what you have said ^_^
Oh totally! Always new items to see

Yeah I can’t remember any as examples right now sorry since I didn’t visit the galleries for a while - but usually it’s the inspirations in a new reply each time, not on the front gallery page. Hope that makes sense! smile

I get it! That is really cool! I tend to just update my posts but then I realize, no ones looking at those haha. So I like the idea of just making new post each time so people can subscribe.
