Hello Hatake Ayumi! You are lovely, nice to meet you, I am Uma. Actually I think all Tris avi's are lovely, the base is really well done and hard to make look unpleasant. :) I hope to see you again. I really like that jellyfish thingy you are wearing around the waist, such an awesome item!

Cora and Arikana, wow, really nice use of items and balance, you both flow so well. That is not to say everyone else does not flow but that is what I noticed about you.

Sadrain you are so ethereal and wispy, like snow on light! One thing though about that dress, it just does not lend itself to belts and corsets, did you notice that? It is really too bad. But it sure does make for a beautifully airy look as you have done.

Lucid I adore your rainbow and oh oh oh what is that blue hair item? I really feel a need to imitate your lighter blue on darker blue look but maybe it would not look as good without the red and purple and green colors surrounding, I am not sure, anyhow the totality is really amazing.

Thank you Lauv dear and while I am scattering compliments like stars across the firmament let me add my admiration of your devilish self to my litany here! Where did you get the little white speckles??? And the golden clasp in the middle? Very nice adornments.

Well I am still suffering the dregs of my bronchitis. Really it is absolutely horrid how long this sickness lingers, I am pretty irritated at it. I think it has been about 3 weeks now and it was 1 week on antibiotics too. Anyhow I had a nice Holiday and I hope you all did too whatever you celebrate. :)

tl;dr? Everyone looks great, hope your holiday was a good one! XD

[Lucid:]

The dark blue hair is Riley's hair. I really enjoy making avatars with dark blue, light blue, and white in them, though a dark blue, light blue, dark purple, and light purple would be a fun color scheme to try.

I really love the dusty silver you have in your avatar. I think it turned out beautiful. Sometimes I wish I could dress as well in real life as we do our avatars.

[Kali_Namir]

So I really suck at rainbow and tried for a while but gave up. Anyone else want to offer me a challenge of sorts?

[Sadrain]

Thank you, Uma! You're right about belts and sashes, but oh well, it still looks quite gorgeous. Glad you like the overall avatar. :)

[Umaeril]

Hi Lucid, yes, I would LOVE to dress in RL as I do with my avatar, wow, wings. *dies* I wish. So I see you changed, what is that net thing? My word I think I need to collect older items.

Hi Kali, how about something cheerful? Hehe. ^_^ Hmmm...that is not very specific, I'm sorry. Ok I admit I am not good with challenges. I'll let someone else set you a nice color challenge. How are you doing? Did you have a nice holiday?

I do like it Sadrain, very much. Actually as you can see, Lucid managed to pair the dress with something over it and I too did find a corset that goes over it and am creating an avi now with that dress. However, I am not sure I will stay in it for long, I am just doing it for the sake of curiosity. I will no doubt revert to one of my Dramatis Personae wig outfits within a day or so. I am going to change soon but I wish I had some nice wings to go with what I am making. Going to look in the MP. So your big day is tomorrow, right? Are you going to make a thread? What are you going to wear? XD

[Kali_Namir]

I'll do cheerful, as for colors just shoot me some random ones and I'll do my best to make them work. But I can wait if you'd rather. I'm at work today.

And I'm doing good. My holiday were good as well.

How were yours?

Also I do apologize for not posting in here in a while. I've been a bit busy. I've also lacked all avie inspiration.

[Lauv Keiko]

why thankies, uma-chan <3
these speckles are from fenrir's companion and the belt is from the pandora's set. <3 :'D

[Umaeril]

Kali - Well if you don't like it you can wait for someone else but blue and silver and bits of blushy rose - not sure of the color. And my holiday was really nice! I got some great presents and am getting better though still lingering sick. Don't worry about coming by here, just pop on by when you feel like it. ^_^

Beautifully textured Lauv, I just really love what you have done. I am quite fond of black and red with gold accents. I would do it often but I would not think to use that nice cream you added in there with the Kaze item. The cream and the white sparkles take it up a notch. How long have you been on Tris?

[Lauv Keiko]

I used to always create red and black with gold accents for my avi, but then I got sick of it and tried to use other color themes~

I've been here for almost two years now ^^

[Umaeril]

Wow Lauv, you are lucky (like the others) that you got here early. I sure do wish I had. I got here because of Ducky. I heard him talk about Tris over at Zantarni and I was intrigued by what he said. So I just tripped on over here and was instantly enamored of the avatars. That was in May I think when I joined. Did you know I won a contest here for a sonnet I wrote about Trispee avatars? Hehehe, funny to think back on that now!!

[Lauv Keiko]

Oh! Really? wow. I've never really checked who won in that contest~ but super belated congrats :'D
I actually heard about this when it started, but I just didn't want to get in here because of a bad experience from avi sites (e.g. gaia)

[Kali_Namir]

That challenge actually sounds really fun. I'll work on it once I'm done at work!

[Umaeril]

Great Kali, I can't wait to see what you do with it! XD

Ah, Gaia, yes. Well Lauv, I am glad that you did manage to come to Tris, that is good. ^_^ Gaia can be traumatic, I know...I was a mod there for 5 years, I saw it all. But I won't defend the place.

[Lauv Keiko]

WOW, you "were" a mod for 5 years? Dang. That's a long time!

[Lucid:]

The net is actually a brand new common from the bohemian set. Bohemian Shawl or something like that. I just really love all the new bohemian items. *U* They're very pretty and fit my style fairly well.

[Umaeril]

Ooooh I'll have to compliment whoever made that set then!! I looked it over but I must have missed that pretty item, thank you Lucid. All of the artists here are so creative, I'm blown away. I do like your asymmetrical look and that wondrous fishy tail coming off under the dress, hehe, I would never have thought to do that. Now that I got my "put a corset on the jellyfish dress" energy out I can move on to something different. Maybe I'll look into the new commons more carefully.

Lauv I was a mod from 2005-2010 then stepped down to forum assistant and I actually still am doing that there. I stepped down when I got married because it was just taking too much of my time away from my husband. It's hard for me as it is to get around to the places that I like to post at and just chat with people.

Well I had to go back to the doctor today, I was not really getting better. Now I am on different antibiotics and also on steroids. I hope this does the trick. Bronchitis is not good. I'm going to take the day off tomorrow and rest up I think.
