Hey, I'm Blondie.

I've never applied to S|R, but I'm really excited about hopefully joining.


Here are my avatars I'd like critiquing (also, if I get certain avatars critiqued, can I still apply with them?)

Avatar 1:




This is one of my favorites, I know some purples aren't exact, but I really love how it's all tied together.


Avatar 2:



An easter-themed avatar. I am aware I'm using two items from the same set, and I switched out those for simplistic gold flats, but I didn't save that, so keep that in mind, please.


Avatar 3:



Not much to say about this avatar, other than the fact that I had trouble matching reds..


Avatar 4:



Definitely one of my all time favorites, and most recent.
I normally NEVER use backgrounds, but I REALLY wanted to make the swirls in the background as part of her hair. She's a circus performer, and that's why she has no shoes. (:

Avatar 5:



The most simple of them all.
I saw someone use this hair layering, and I decided to try it out myself.
I like how simple this is, yet it's realistic.


I think I've addressed everything?

Hehe, I'm so excited for my critiques.

I really like your plain, matchy style blondie! The circus?background one is really interesting, but somehow the top and bottom clothing choices just feel really boring to me, in light of the fab hair/head area. I feel like example 5 if your strongest, since it if very streamlined.

The color of the shoes in example 3 are throwing me off btw, because they are much lighter than the other golds/tans.

I know!
The shoes really bothered me on that one too, but I couldn't find another one.

And yeah, I know what you mean about the clothing for the circus one, but I had a tough time finding anything else to add that didn't seem too cluttered..

Yay, the login did work. Aw, you have such a cute style!

The chest on the first one has many options. The argo bodysuit under the transparent halter looks a bit odd!

I would like to see the simplistic gold flats version of the second avatar! I love that line. 8D

The third one is nice. Don't feel bad about the red -- there isn't a lot of it on Subeta.

I really, really love the circus one! The background as a part of the hair is quite clever! I do think, though, that she would benefit from shoes.

I see the appeal of the fifth avatar's hair, because it is cute, but it would look much nicer with some type of head ornament (be it a hat or accessory), to cover up the line that the combo gives on the very top.

/probably useless critique and comments~

Hehe, thanks Rachael (I'm not a stalker, but that's what it says to call you )

Well I would show you with the gold flats, but I ran out of a GA and I can't recreate it just yet.

I really wanted to have her have shoes, but I can't figure out any that would look decent.

Exactly, alright, I'll have to try that soon (:

Would it be possible if I got the following two critiqued?

Hi Blondie!

I am LOOOOOOOOOVING the second one,
except for the black waist sash thing,
Would there be anyway to take that off?

a

Thank youuu!

UH, well it looked awful, but if you see my current avatar here right now, I layered it under the corset... does it look better?

Hello Blondie! I would definitely say that it looks a lot better on your current! I also like the changes you made to the head over the previous version. I think the face and hair work alot better. The only thing I might nitpick is that you're using nice, orange-y browns so that the wig which has many yellow undertones kind of stands out. Your hair, of course, doesn't have to match, but it has a similar brightness to the other colors you used but then its like bam, I have green-yellow undertones.

For the first one you posted, I also really like the head region. I would try matching a little bit better, as the shirt you are using is a dark, dirty green color, the stockings are a tan, and the shoes are a dark brown. I'm not saying that you have to match all the time, but it would be nice to see one of these articles of clothing matched . The empire belt is black but there is not other black really, in the HA, that stands out (usually, people use black because it helps them match better but most try not to because it becomes a crutch.)

It looks LOADS better under!

I think your current looks much better with the different layering! The different hair and eyes makes a huge difference, too.

Hiya Blondie! Good luck on your application.

HA 1: I think you can do without the transparent halter top. Maybe a necklace in the color of the Rose Headband.

HA 2: I love the chest/torso area. I think you can do without the earrings. Also agree that on the feet should be a pale yellow or maybe a yellow anklet of some kind.

HA 3: I think this is done nicely, yes, it's hard to match reds.

HA 4: I love the hair and how it looks like it is part of the background. Well done. Maybe a light yellow around the waist and maybe the feet area.

HA 5: Very nice, I also like simple avatars. Maybe something around the neck and also some kind of adornment for the hair instead of the flower.

HA 6: I would put blue near the bottom if you can and find a different hair accessory.

HA 7: I actually like the one you are sporting now. The one you posted, looks mad to me, like I took the last cookie. I like the color combo you used.

Just my humble opinion. I think they are all done well.

Yayy, I've applied

Good Luck, Blondie
