[Does your avatar (or others avis) make you feel like changing RL looks?]

I got a brow piercing after testing it out on my avie for a while first. But that's pretty much it for isnpired changes.

Clothes and skin is so important. Compare these 2 pictures. It's the same shape in both. Not a slider touched. To the left, I look like a tween/teen. To the right, I look adult, yes?

Can I ask where the outfit on the left is from?

 

As for me, I'm 1.82m in my adult shape, and 1.44m in my kid shape, when measuring with a prim. RL me is 1.70m (if I'm generous).I'm too lazy to convert.   I usually feel taller avies are more likely to be out of proportion, but maybe that's just because they're more noticeable. *shrugs*

 

[Outfits that warm the heart (and other bits)]

That'd be this sweater. Had one like it as a kid.

 

[Do you treat your avatar...]

I do, went premium because I wanted to pick up a mainland plot. Or two.

[What is your favorite hair?]

On grown up-me, it isTamaki from Sadistic Hacker.

 

For kid-me, it's currently James from MADesigns.

Yo!

[And how about Plurk]

I use Plurk, but mostly just to tell people how bored or tired or annoyed I am, 'cause I just KNOW people are dying to hear 'bout that.     I'm ShortyTwine there anyways.

Heee I was wondering about the dimensions. Lazy me just opened a pic and ScreenHunted a section hoping for the best. Will probably tinker later to make something better. Ty for the helpful input!

[Let's see those Avatars! Post your favorite avatar pix :)]

All my pics are on flickr, so I just grabbed a random one to upload here. Thusly, I fail the topic as this is not my favourite pic.

 

Anywhoo, this is me and Mr. Snow Man, may he rest in peace. (also, we're looking for more snow and for some reason my legs look like twigs from that angle )

 

"An unexpected error has occurred".. Hmm, trying again...

[Child Avatars]

Umm, don't just shrink the avie as much as you can and think "done"   Pay attention to proportions, there are proportion guides on the web that cover the human body from child to adult. And when using a female base, setting breasts to 0 doesn't mean you don't need to pay attention to the other breast-related sliders. If you don't, clothing will often look messed up. Tweak, tweak, tweak.
