    Blergh. I only did about 6 minor variations of this background. With all the poses that's a lot of editing.
    I only posted some for obvious reasons. I still need to tweak some, then I'll email the lot to you :)

    Sorry of her face is a bit stretched btw. I have no excuse for that.
    I could change it I guess, but the image will appear different (different framing, different proportions).

    In my opinion?

    They look fine when enlarged like this but when you use them as avatars the colors lose contrast and we can't see the vines in the background and the framing looks weird and we can't see the sim very well.

    Sorry it came out like this. This really bums me out.

    Why are you bummed?Honestly there's no rush.Even though this is my avi,I want you to be satisfied too.If you don't like it and wanna change it,that's perfectly fine by me.

    If you like it the way it is,then that's also great.What do you wanna do?

    This one's giving me a hard time but I want to get at least one right.
    Your sim deserves a proper beauty shot.
    I need to add contrasts, enlarge the backgrounds, maybe add some colors here and there...

    More of the same I guess. Slight alterations.
    This is the last time I'm posting with this theme, don't worry.

    With all the poses and backgrounds that's a total of over 60 avatars.
    ALL LOOKING THE SAME IMO.

    Sorry but this one is driving me mad. I think I'm done with it! Sorry sorry sorry.
    I don't know if you'll use one of them. Although I hope you will I would understand if you wouldn't. (Sorry)

    <--- I think no.61 looks passable. It looks kinda small, but it's not so bad.

    Thank yooou. I needed the compliment.

    If she had a paler skin tone she'd look like an undead bride lol. Hey I think I'll try to make that one later!

    Definitely making one of those also.
    I only use photohop. I used to know Illustrator but I haven't touched it for at least a decade.
    I don't know if any other programs would be useful for making little illustrations like this. I asked Lunanova and even she only uses PS.

    Thank you so much for these!I am in love with them.They capture her so well.I don't mind size either.I know her skintone looks really oily,but I wanted her skin to look like that.I'll be switching around with the different poses because I love all of them.


    THANK YOU I WISH I COULD HUG YOU THRU THE SCREEN

    Thank you Kelebek! That was sweet of you! <3

    I know they didn't turn out to be pretty original or striking, and yet your request was simple. I think this made me realize I'm better at doing slightly comical avatars with very standard looking sims. More serious subjects like beauty shots and classy stuff gives me a headache.

    Your sim looks very pretty by the way. I'm happy I had to work with her as I got the get her in my game. Pretty sweet cc too!

    My take on an undead bride. She looks a bit Japanese I think.
    If anyone wants this avatar simply send me a message.

    @Kelebec you can have them, one is made with your sim anyway. Save them for Halloween :)

    @Bunnyvale what do you think of this one?
    Elena Gilbert, red background. I might still bring some changes to them, but little.
    Posting here helps me see what they look like better for some reason.

    The pose is easy to replicate, so if you want a different hairstyle or a different jacket let me know!

    I like the background! Very stellar! Those undead avatars got me in the mood to make a vampire. . . Gotta pull myself away from my main legacy.
