Sorry if this isn't in the right spot ;;;

Anyway, I've got a saved avatar below, and I need some serious help with it.

Outfit Not Found

  1. Hair: I feel like his hair doesn't blend very well together, but I wanted it to both be white and also match with the timber wolf aesthetic (the ears). Any suggestions for wig replacements are appreciated! I'm open to mostly anything, so long as I can have something that covers the "human" ears.

  2. Ears: I've found that I can't find those wolf ears to buy, like, anywhere. |D;; so a replacement for those would also be fantastic! Again, not super picky, I'm open to suggestions.

  3. Shawl/tunic thing: Wondering if the Delish fluff and the Neela tamer cover are necessary or if they feel overbearing.

  4. Anything else is always appreciated! I'm going for a male-aligned wolf spirit.

CW items are totally fine!

Hi! All in all your HA is well put together. The only thing that is too much imo is the Delish fluff. It covers a lot of your HA and just feels like it should not really be there. If you want to build it in, maybe you can try to make it work in the background or choose other clothing that doesn't get too covered by it. I'm currently trying to match some things together in my wardrobe, but what I have so far on suggestions:

  1. Do you have lots of redeemable wigs (Delish, Coupons)? If yes, you can color them to your liking so that they match your other hair layers or items (ears). Those two in particular could be an option since they fit the theme really well and also cover the base avatar ears. The third one even has in-build ears, so that could help you with the expensive ear problem. :P

  2. I know you want some wolf ears, but the Wildcat ears are pretty big and can substitute for those. Some of them are really pricey but at least there are some in SS right now.

  3. I like the Neela tunic! I would just get rid of the shawl and check if you maybe have something that goes along with the tunic. I'm gonna check if I can find some good combinations... may take a while. xD

  4. If you don't wanna use that knife in your mouth and maybe go for a more feral style, you can try using the Single Plastic Fang in combination with other lip items! It's a tiny tooth, but it works well.

I could give you A LOT of CW suggestions (especially wigs), but the problem here is always that they might not be available and it's quite pricey, so I don't really included these in my suggestions. :c

This helps IMMENSELY! Thank you so much for your reply!

I haven't tried any redeemable wigs yet; would the Anew wig in particular be able to have multiple tones that can blend into the Bundle of Spirit Hair in the back? That one would totally negate my need for extra ears, but if not, I'll try out some of the other ones. Can we try coloring wigs just in the preview section, or do we have to buy the wig first?

I was thinking that Delish shawl was gonna be too much. I like it a lot more without, now that I'm looking at it! Also, those wildcat ears are a wonderful substitute! Nobody has to know the difference. B]

I noticed your current avatar has a blush effect that seems to highlight the nose; are there any effects like that available?

Again, thank you for the help, this is great!

EDIT:

Outfit Not Found

The Anew wig works like a charm for this! I'll keep playing to get it to blend in better, but that seriously helps. Thank you!

It should be possible since you can color the wig itself and add mulitple shadowing/highlight colors to it. Hrm.. the old wardrobe had an option that you can see the hex code of the colors used on the item... I'm not sure if the new wardrobe has the same. I think not because I can't really find anything the like. That would've made things A LOT easier. And no, I don't see a preview of wigs I don't have. It only shows the ones I have currently unlocked, so you have to buy the coupon first. :c

Honestly, I like the shawl. The fluff of it, everything. But it's WAAAY to big, fml. That's one reason I rarely use it in front. x.x In combination with the tunic, you could always skim through delish shoulder and overchest items! They have nice capes and whatnot, so you may find something that fits the tunic.

I don't know of any, since I pretty much throw a lot of things together on my HA's face/base. The only real tip I can give you is just mix and match until you have the desired effect. Body blushes, make-up, eye layering, everything your wardrobe has to offer. Most of the things I use are CW make-ups, so if you have some CSC to spend that's a good thing to buy on SS. It helps you way more than a wig you may only use once in your life. :D And don't be shy to use more than one item. Sometimes you have to throw together lots of things to get what you want haha.

Hah, just put an edit about the wig right when you replied! But here's the current avatar with your suggestions:

Outfit Not Found

The shawl is so great, and it was ironically the thing I was trying to build my HA around... but it really is just too big, I totally agree. I'm looking at some other fluffy items as well, but with the Dire Wolf legs, I'm not even sure if it's necessary tbh. I'm just playing around with scarves and lightening/darkening the skin tone at this point. The Fox Essence CW is really making things pop, imo!

I'm gonna try doing some more layering work and switching item orders around. If you have any other suggestions, I'm happy to listen! These have all really helped me so much omg ; o ; thank you SO much for this!

Looks very beautiful! Also I'm super glad that you got the hair color going so well with the layered wig. Absolutely stunning and makes me want to play around with these redeemable wigs in the future as well, haha. And yes, the fox essence - as dark as it may seem at first - really makes some differences. It adds shadows where they're lacking and creates some nice and unique touches here and there. So glad to have snagged it when I could. :)

I will let you know if something comes to mind but since you got the whole thing going so well for you, I doubt there will be anything on my side. xD Glad I could help! You're very welcome. <3
