August DI Discussion Thread
 

Guess what time of the month it is, everyone! That's right, it's new donation item time. So go on over to Archaic Antiquities and get stocked up on 'em. :)

Then come back here and tell us what you think!

Final Reminder: As the July Donation Items were out late, they will remain in Archaic Antiquities until August 5th.

Now let's see some new outfits, folks!

I love Parthenos Dios, esp the unique color combo thrown in there, I don't know why I like that so much but it's soothing...like a sunset

I'M IN A NEW OUTFIT ALREADY.

*TOSSES MY WRENCH AT Y'ALL TO GET GOING TO SHOW YOURS THEN GETS MAH BIRDIE TO RETURN IT TO ME* >3>

I really like Hunter's Chance the most, but this is my favorite monthly items of the year so far.
But I have to say, the bird from the Hunter's chance is simply beautiful.

Edit: Donated for the first time since forever for this gorgeous bird. xD That's how well you did this month, to the point that I actually donated.

Hunter's chance is actually the first item i ever designed when i became staff a year ago xD

\>w</ im glad it finally got made. Twiggs did an awesome job!

dios is beautiful<3 though i think i sort of already showed my favoritism hahaha

it abuses coral red that you like xD

maaaaybe, it is also one of the things i love most, ancient greek culture though it does have a few errors they are the sort that are best glossed over X''D

that and the other two are not my cup of tea, golden virtue is ugly and i only like the bird from the chance X'D

i would murder someone for runes right now, i need the RDIs so bad :o

Stay away from my runes, Ashykins! >3>

Glad you guys like Parthenos~
I finally got to put my knowledge of greek/roman clothing to use! :D With gallbby's help of course. x3

Gonna go make my aug avvie nowwwww. <3

I am so in love with Golden Virtue.

Holy Shieet.

i want runes for other reasons X''D it is august and i have one more yearly i reeeaaaally want

Awwwwww yiss new colorful aug avvie. (using all new items btw 8D)

I so knew you'd use that bird, Twiggbby. :P And I love your avatar too. <3

I'm not a pink fan, but it's beautiful. :)

Pfffff duhh. Pastel pink + blonde is my shizzz. 8D

And thank youuu~ I love yours too~

That's it. August 2013 has become my favorite month of Trisphee. End of discussion.

*squeal at the Parthenos Dios*

Yep. I just know you so well, Twiggbby. And thank youuuuuu, I love my birdie. <3


Lol. It's awesome, ain't it, Toriki? :)

WHY HASN'T ANYONE MADE THIS SOONER!? I LOVE IT! :D
Can Fen or someone put all the matching clothing on a avatar and so I compare it with this picture?

My favorite of the 3 new DIs is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, Dios and I'm more then happy that it's the aurum DI :3 (even if I am 100% broke due to it now xD).

The other two have around 1-2 poses I like quite a bit (I especially like the vest/coat on the Golden Virtue, and, as others have already stated, the Bird in the Hunter is just simply beautiful).

Overall I'd say this is my favorite month as well, DI-wise at least :).

Everyone did a wonderful job on this month's DIs :).

GOD I HAD TO SLEEP OKAY.

I'll do new outfits later XD

*nod* I don't know when was the last time I've purchased all 3 DIs of the month and want a couple more.

Now that I had time to get passed the "OMG NEW SHINY THINGS" phase, I can now properly review on this month's items.

Golden Virtue: Probably my least favorite item this month but has some of my favorite poses, while all the sheep styled items seem to be poorly made (sorry that does not look like sheep fur, it looks like squiggly worms) the clothing from this item is very nice, I have to give you guys props for choosing very different colors you normally choose and nice color combo's at that. (Although I secretly wish this item had my color scheme.. COUGH COUGH NUDGE NUDGE WINK WINK EYE TWINKLE.) The horns are simple but nice, and the one cotton pose that looks proper (the cotton ball on your back) is weird, but I'm excited to see what people will do with it in avatar creation. BUT DEM HOOVES MAN, TO DIE FOR.

Hunter's Chance: My favorite item this month, Twigg really did a very good job of capturing this item from the concept art. The clothing and feather's are all nicely made, my biggest grip about this item is that some parts of the item has different fidelity then the rest of the set. While this could just be multiple pixelists working on the same item, it makes the entire set a little off when looking at it as a whole. While some items with different fidelity like the gorgeous bird is OK to use, having a set of clothing that parts of it look very different from each other is a no no. If your going to make a clothing set make sure it's consistent with every article in that set. Now the whip and a the spear are nice touches to the item (the spear doesn't look pointy though.. xD How am I supposed to stab with this?) But my favorite piece of the item is the clothing, and the feathers. (You know I won that one pixel contest, and a few of my items would had been perfect for this set >.<....) Oh and the bird, ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! The colors, pixeling, IT'S MARVELOUS!

Parthenos Dios: Now this item seems like it was 2 or 3 separate items that were combined into one whole thing. But it somehow works... There's 3 different clothing sets in the item each with it's own different style/shading, but all having the same old greek/rome feeling. One of the sets is what seems to be a very poorly pixel item with very rough black lines, but the pixels match the art style of old greek vases and artwork from that time. That and the item mixed on a avatar can somehow work.. It's very strange for me to call something bad, yet it looks great on a avatar somehow... The armor is very nicely made and catches the smoothness of leather (is it supposed to be leather?) right down. The greatest aspect of this set are the colors, you guys choose colors that you haven't really touched on for a while and combo'd them very nicely.

Overall, great month. You guys really did a amazing job this month! :D

-snicker- There are some things about you that will never change, huh.

I'm not entirely sure what you meant by this...? (Like, I'm not seeing the very different pixeling styles o.o)

Do you mean the sunset/purple recolor? I think the dark outlines are actually part of the color scheme; the sunset/coral/whatever color that is is really dark on one side of the gradient. I'm imagining this to be the case because the other recolors don't have that black line.

im sorry. im the one who flatted fleece and hunter chance, if there was pixiling errors in it it was most likly my fault >< Twigg and Fen did an awesome job tough

...Holy shit, your avi is cool.

*pounces on Espy* you is like me! Kind of!

So is yours QAQ i like it

...How so?

Eeeeh. It was mostly just half-assedly slapped together. Fewest layers I've used in a very, very damn long time. I'm out of inspiration.

its nto half assed. its simple. you look like yoru about to go on a roguish adventure

Bahaha. Thanks. Though it's kind of my default theme.

Not to mention, and I've actually been waiting for this...

Virtue... is like a remake of the item Chi and I worked on together.

BUT FUCK IT. I love the colors. xD; SO MUCH. -prances around in her new thing-

I have been waiting for this item to be designed and I am not disappointed. Thank you guys for more wonderful items this month. <3

I must say i love the new items o3o *spins around in his new avi*

PD inspired this outfit :s-shy:

pd?

great use of the butterflies though

-finds full name of the item- Parthenos Dios owo
