Post an HA you want rated (or say if you just want your current one rated) and I'll give you my honest thoughts! I'll tell you what I like and what I don't like. I will do my best to be constructive and friendly even when I'm criticizing something! I'm not here to be mean.

You can include anything you want with the HA, like if there is something specific you were going for or want feedback on.

Remember to ping so that I notice you :)

Please note: It might take me weeks to get to yours, I am trying to do them in order. So if there's a specific HA you want comments on, post an image/screenshot or the saved HA, otherwise I'll critique whatever HA you're wearing when I get to you.

Hiya! Please could I have some feedback about my current HA? I'm not so sure about the tights so would particularly be open to any alternatives if anyone sees this and knows something that'd fit better.

HA feedback for you! First off, I LOVE the color scheme of pink+blue and I love what you've done with the background (zebra stripes + gradient). It looks super nice and pairs especially well with your choice of shoes. (Those heels from Esther's shop are some of my favorites to use by the way!) I agree that the tights don't seem perfect, they actually feel a bit too dark and harsh to me. That is, most of the outfit has nice curves (like zebra curves in the background, the roundness of the hair) but the tights have these harsh zigzags.

I think a light, pale pink color would work really well for the tights, because it would contrast with the blue background and also not draw too much attention away from the rest of the outfit.

One thing I do like about the horizontal zigzags is that they imply movement, which works really well with the background (the zebra pattern also implies movement, makes for a very cool HA effect)

I think the might look really nice if you can obtain them! Here's some other items you could try:

Finally, I love your HA's expression - it's got a lot of attitude. You could try adding something to the foreground to accentuate it, like:

Hope this helps :D

HA feedback for you! You have a super fun HA here and I love that! One thing I liked in particular was how you combined foreground items with the jellyfish background to make an aquarium setting - that's super creative and it looks great. I also love the neon-ocean color scheme. The dashes on your tights match the jellyfish tentacles, the pink-blue gradient on the glasses match the overall colors, it all works really well color-wise c:

My main criticism of it would be that I feel the use of color contrast could be more effective. Because the background is dark, and the floor tiles are also dark and desaturated, it really makes the bright neon-blues stand out. So when I look at the HA, the first thing that stands out is the hoodie, then the shoes. I did notice the headphones but they don't look that interesting to me because the top is dark blue and blends in with the background, so visually they're not that noticeable. Anyway, I'm looking at the hoodie and the shoes - moreso the shoes perhaps because they also contain a hint of pink which causes them to stand out even more. But it's not that interesting and neither is the hoodie.

I guess what I'm getting at is that, your HA draws my attention to two pieces of clothing, which doesn't convey much on its own. The rest of the character sort of blends in with the background: the headphones half-blend (near the top), the black hair blends well with the dark blue background. So overall the actual human character doesn't stand out to me. My number one suggestion to fix this is pretty simple actually: swap the hair for a brighter color, and I actually would like to suggest a bright pink!

The reason for this is to make the character stand out more. If the hair is bright pink, it will be the first thing we see, even before the shoes and shirt. And because of how the hair frames the face, we'll then look at the character's face and take in the personality - A more noticeable hair can lead to the human character making a bigger impression. The hoodie and shoes won't look so out-of-place, in fact, the pink would balance it because the pink is a huge contrast, while the neon-blue is a lesser contrast to the background, creating a clear "attention hierarchy". And lastly the hair being bright would cause the top part of the headphones to be more noticeable as well, and thus strengthen the impact of the headphones.

My other suggestion would be to try changing the floor tiles to a non-blue color (maybe pink or even a light yellow/tan?) Right now I think my main issue is that too many things blend together due to being too similar in color, so maybe making the floor a more unexpected color could help too.

Hope this helps, thanks for sharing such a fun HA :)

feedback for you! First off, your HA is awesome, especially for someone new to the site without a large budget. I love how you combined the hair with the headpiece - the petals and butterflies from the headpiece work so naturally with the green tresses, it's almost like they could be a single item. I also love how you stuck to a green/orange color scheme.

Since the hair (and your username, perhaps) inspires a woodland/natural theme, I want to suggest something different for the pants and shirt, instead of the bright/pastel cake items you have now. I think darker colors could work super well here and accentuate your hair (which is lighter). Dark green would be beautiful here!

To kind of show what I'm thinking of:

Some kind of vegetation in the foreground might be nice too - You should check out the wearables in the spell ingredients shop! Hope this helps. :)

How about my HA? I tried really hard to make it look nice even though I used most of a Delish set.

My feedback's gonna be a bit shorter but hopefully still nice to have :)

feedback for you! I love the combination of the sheeta doll and that background! I also think you did a great job with the colors in this. I like the bits of purple in the headdress and the waist sash.

Your HA is pretty :) One suggestion I have is to find a lighter or more muted color for the lips. The current dark red of the lips doesn't go with the rest of the color scheme. My second suggestion is to put on some shoes - It's not super noticeable, but I can see a few toes peeking out from under your dress!

Finally, consider having your Saheric nomad hold something - like a staff or scepter would both be really nice. I think it would fit the theme really well: a Saheric nomad needs some sort of big stick to lead their flock of sheetas across the desert.

have some feedback! As always you have a really original HA that's instantly noticeable as a "curbdirt" HA lol. I love it! This one is super trippy, I feel like I must be high since the background of your HA is so weird. I really like the colors however, and I particularly like the subtle circuit board patterns on the legs.

If I'm to be honest, sometimes I personally feel your face makeup is a bit heavy. I really love that your HA usually looks like an actual person, with an imperfect face - the big nose and surly expression are perfect. But I'm just not sure about the yellow/green/red makeup, I wonder if it's a bit overkill? It's your style though, feel free to disregard my criticism if you disagree.

your username is fun to say YESSSS the hair! I love seeing the hair salon used more and I really like this. Everything on the face is perfect too in my opinion - the fangs, the scary eyes and eyebrows, even the smudge of dirt going up the forehead. I love it.

My suggestion is to add a bit of variety to the clothing colors. Bright colors might be out of place, but right now it's all black/dark gray and sort of blends together. I think it would be more interesting if you incorporated some of the colors from the hair and background: dark purples and tans would be nice, maybe even a bit of green.

I don't want to skip you but I actually have no idea what you meant by what you said, I'm sorry. D:

yours is so pretty! Haha I see what you mean about using most of a Delish set. I mean, if you do that, you are going to end up with a less original HA. That's all right though - sometimes you just want something that's pleasant, not necessarily new and bold. I think your HA is definitely pleasant to look at. The sparkles, luminaire foreground thing, and closed eyes all make it look like a happy dream. And I absolutely LOVE what you did with the hair + headband + sparkly pink rose thing.

My only critique is that the blue in the face paint (on the eyes) just looks a bit out-of-place since it's the only blue of that shade on the whole HA. At the same time, you have a lot of pink going on - no other clothing colors at all. So my suggestion is try to find some wearables that match that blue color, to put on your outfit. It will make the eye makeup look more natural, while making your outfit more interesting too :)

That's it for tonight! I'll be sure to get , , and whoever else wants to post here later. :)
