Jeebuz. You ever have one of those days where you go to do something-- and realize you just plain suck at it?

I had one of those days today. I swear to god, I used to be good at making HAs, but like... within the last few months all my creativity has fled me. I feel like... like I kinda had a hang on things, and just fell out of it. Dx

You guys ever get in really bad avatar slumps? If so, how the heck do you get out of them? It's bad enough where sometimes I just consider throwing up a vanishing cream and leaving it at that for a while. ;-;

I've never been particularly good at making HA's, I've always been 'avarage' I guess :P

So no, I don't know how to get out of a slump, sorry! Good luck with it :o

my avatar making skills go on and off like hell. usually i just enter avatar contests to give me ideas and if i really like something i made i dun enter it xD

I used to have TERRIBLE slumps, omg. Sometimes I would just do one of those with an animal wearable and the vanishing cream and just hide for a bit. Or I would just start making HA's that were more in tune with how I was feeling at the time, as opposed to whats fashionable at the time. Or even looking up real world designers and seeing what the new trends are, seeing if something inspires you.

I always have that feeling :)

I know how you feel! I've been in one for ages it seems. I'm quite proud of my current one but I spent a long time on it even though it's really simple. And I have changed it a bit as well because I still wasn't happy with it.

I don't know what to suggest, really. Maybe have a WL splurge if you've got the SP to do that? Maybe you're just tired of seeing the same old items in your Wardrobe. Sometimes it helps to have loads of new clothes to play around with.

I totally agree 8D Having new clothes make me gain interest in doing HAs Especially with wigs, I use those to have my color scheme or the new clothes I get ;]

Wigs are awesome for inspiration and stuff. I don't have a lot yet though. There's like a thousand I still need to get XD

o-o If you don't make HAs day to day, it's not that hard :p If you're really stuck, you could always upload an avatar you already used :p

Today is one of those days for me. I like where this HA was going but now it's just like... bleh. D:

Lets sit in this cozy boat togetherrr.

ingofdngdfmpgmdf!! the quote looks cute x3

hehe.

I sometimes have this thing wherein I make this HA. At first I love it but when you look at it you will be meh o_o

I hate those moments xD hehe

and sometimes nothing pops out and you get crap :c

I really don't know how so many users (including you, !) manage to make so many HA designs on a weekly basis, and make them all look great.

Once in a blue moon, I'll make a decent design. Then I won't be able to think of a better one for ages so I keep the same design I have for what seems like forever. xD

Same with me, new wearables have become my inspiration for these kind of days. It's hard for me make HAs with unique colours. ;^;

The same with me, I thought of this particular combination, but I lack the money to do it so when I went to the WHADYL board, I already saw someone with that combination, I totally felt FAIL at that time. I also need to be rich to refrain me from selling my wearables and then needing them again and finding out that they have already inflated. 8D

.. And this x54379376. xD Upsettinggg.

Awwe! That made me feel nice. xD I think I am good at making HAs I think it's just... they're all the same? I don't know. I feel like I've or someone else has already done everything and now I have to try hard to try something new, making it harder and harder every single time. :( That's why when new items come out I'm on them like bees to honey because I want to be the first to wear them because no one else has, I get to do it first and I don't feel like I'm copying someone else.

Thanks for all the advice guys.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has issues. And I feel you about combos and then other people having them. Urgh a few times I've done something and felt so cool, and then walked into WHADYL and see someone pull it off a billion times better. xD

I'm in kind of a slump right now. Every now and then I'll make a very good avatar I'm proud with, but lately I haven't been so good.

Ohyes, I do think awesome profiles/graphics and awesome arts are the real enemy for my HAs. Dx I. NEED. TO. STOP. BUYING. THEM.

i got stuck using this deer skull thing for like the longest time then finally it hit me like a ... huge deer skull

but now after this ive got to start planning for a week-long event and i got no idea what to do!! @
