Timing

My timings off. :\

I few days ago, I said I will most likely get the neck and face up by Saturday. Today is Wednesday.

I hear that when making your schedule whether it’s making a game or something else, you have to set the date then double that time frame. I guess I just proved that point. These may be the reason:

1) I’m too optimistic (or too harsh on myself to get something done asap)
2) Not making allowances for issues that arise whether it’s with the item or something irl
3) Haven’t found out how long it takes me to take something, fix it up, package it and so on

Well, from now on, I’ll try making estimates with the doubled time and see how that turns out. With that said, I finished the neck yesterday and I will be working on the face. I’m about 1/4 done with that and I’ll most likely be done with it on Saturday (yes, I doubled the time).  We’ll see if my estimate is correct this weekend, eh? ; )

Alys Avatar Neck Info

The necks, I’ve decided will be packed in a set of six. They will vary from thin (#1) all the way to thick (#6) with the numbers in between a gradual increase from one spectrum to the other. Each set will be offered based on color. I haven’t finalized the colors yet but peach, cream, tan, and black (not true black – more like chocolate and dark chocolate) are definite.

Why offer them in a set you say? Because it’ll make it easier all around to offer a pack with a variety of “sizes” rather than have you order one, find it’s not the right size and have to order another one. Very inconvenient, imo.

As for price, one set will be $1.50 USD, with each neck technically costing a quarter each… so no, you won’t be breaking the bank anytime soon! ; )

Purty Colors For Your Avatars

As I said previously, one of the parts I will be posting up for the first avatar set is hair and one of the preparations that delayed my posting of the avatar set is creating multiple colors for them. Here’s one set of hair (ponytail #3) you can take a look at:

All one really needs is one hair color so you can manipulate it but these are available for those who would rather not mess with that. Not to mention there are certain colors that are just better when done manually or you cannot create using the hue & saturation. For example, I was trying to create dark colored hair versions but they turned out very ugly imo and I’d personally not use such horrendous colors in my own characters.

I also couldn’t make certain colors such as black or brown without affecting the lines of the hair in some way or other that didn’t look too good. If you can get those colors, then props to you. (….Mind telling me how you got them? ;D )

Anyways, be on the look out for them tonight! n_n

Avatar Bangs or Fringes

Here’s a preview of some more avatar bangs or fringes as some of you may call them, I will be churning out:

Some of them I already finished and began work on. Most of them need to be done which is not too bad considering I’ve gotten pretty fast CGing cel-style. Of course, these aren’t the only parts I will be working on so stay tuned for more previews! ; )
