Hello! Pardon the dust, I'll try to make this thread purty tomorrow.

For the past three years I've been steadily working on a challenge, and since I already have that gallery hosted elsewhere, I'm going to use this space to actually post each update and spend time talking about the avatars I'm making.


The Rules of the Challenge:
1. For every evolving item pose, I must make an avatar using that item. I try to make it the item that sets the tone of the avatar if possible.
2. I can only use one evolving item pose per avatar - this prevents one avatar from counting as an entry on more than one EI
3. I can only use items I own, even if I never plan on actually wearing the avatar. I have to justify my item horde somehow, and it feels like cheating to just use inventory search. Plus it helps to justify my obsessive EI collection.
4. There must be one halfatar per evolving item - I'm obviously insane and have issues. XD
5. Yes, I will try to get to all recolors too.

Highlights and Favorite Avatars


First and foremost, here is a link to the Challenge itself. It's rather large, but I feel like I've barely scratched the surface.
>>Every Evolving Item Challenge<<

While making avatars, I sometimes create a few that I'm overly proud of. Here I will showcase those that I really like, or those that are part of an avatar 'series'.

Since this would otherwise be dominated by halfatars, view that gallery here!

I like to make a set of avatars and upload them all at once, so updates will be around 15 avatars on average. I'm trying for a compromise between quantity and quality, so most avatars aren't stunning works of art but at least I'll be using poses that I otherwise would never touch!

User Image - User Image: So this sword is hilariously useless-looking. At first I thought I'd have trouble with this, but I instead worked with lace and intricate designs and I love the result!

User Image: User Image - I think this is the first time I've ever used one of these bed poses. It's a bit generic but finding a blue that works with Secret Retreat is a challenge!

User Image: User Image - I love it when old items look like near matches with new color schemes. This looks so good with poppy!

User Image: User Image - These eyes always make me think 'mind control by succubus' so this kinda looks like someone being influenced? Also known as an excuse to play with blue raspberry colors.

User Image: User Image - I was watching Dark Souls videos while making this one. Ha!

User Image: User Image - The color on this item is so odd. Olive is close but not quite, but I just went with it this time.

User Image: User Image - Tried to do a halfatar with a subtle rose motif for this one, but in the end I liked it more without the roses. I refined a better halfatar without the bouquet later on.

User Image: User Image - This turned out a bit weird but fun at the same time. I love this mask, it works so well with the armor!

User Image: User Image - I really need to use mint more often, it's a pretty color! I wish there were more items in it with more consistent shading, but oh well.

User Image: User Image - Tried working in the vain/elusive color scheme for this. I really love this lion-thing as a companion item, hope it gets recolored sometime!

User Image: User Image - For some reason I got the thought to do a tribal cat-person. I love making cat people, so why not?

User Image: User Image - The fact that this pose is a single pixel amuses me to no end. The fact that there's not much to go on means I can do nearly anything - after years of doing this challenge, that's almost too much freedom! I love that layering this legmod over the skirt completely changes things and looks pretty awesome.

User Image: User Image - Face and eye mods are just an excuse to have fun with random ideas. This time, I wanted to play with the demon candy color scheme. Looks kinda like a Kingdom Hearts side character?

User Image: User Image - I figured that this was the best pose to get the require halfatar in. I tried to do a chaos/horror vs sterile order effect, and it turned out better than I hoped!

User Image: User Image - Invisible avatar plus cool headdress makes it look like Hypnos is holding some sort of weird ritual. I also have about five different layers to the background

Posted a new set of 15 avatars! I'm so close to passing 800 avatars made for this challenge. 1000 doesn't seem so far away....but even that is just a tiny portion of the poses needed.

And managed to do another 15 avatars today! Hopefully there aren't too many typos, writing while tired after a long day.

Thanks so much! It might have taken me three years of semi-hiatus to get over 800 avatars done, but when I'm active it keeps me busy!

Thank you! <333 The upside of doing every single EI pose is that the items themselves are so varied I HAVE to do varied themes, which is why I love it! Avatar notes are a new thing, so I'm glad you like them!

And managed to get another set up, which I think brings me to 60 avatars created this month. Whew! Let's see if I can get another 15 done this week!

Ha! Thanks for the bump, sorry for missing your post!

Completed another set of 15, lots of blue avatars this update! I love blue, but I was begging to have other colors to work with today.

Whew, another set of 15! Getting closer to 1k avatars, which is still only a tiny percentage of my goal. Sigh. On average, I'm still only about 1/3 of the way through most EIs, and that doesn't even begin to count recolors and partial recolors. crying
