About this Style
Water


The second avatar in my Classical Elements series. Here's a slightly more obvious interpretation of water. The Wiccan symbolism (Which is what I'm basing the symbolism off of) relates Water to rivers, oceans, lakes, and fog. As well as some animal interpretations which include the Dolphin, Turtle, and all kinds of fish. As well as the physical features Water has, I've tried to incorporate some astrological personality as well. "Water personalities tend to be emotional, deep, nurturing, sympathetic, empathetic, imaginative and intuitive" The relation to Imaginative is why I went into much more of an extreme fantasy based direction with this.


The Subeta aspect of it was that I'm sticking by my word and aiming for something more complex then I'm used to. The Arms of the Sea; aside from the Mariachi Boots and Metal Spheres, this is my by far my favorite item on Subeta. I had been wanting them since I joined and was only able to get it through the CS Sale in November. I hadn't even planned to use them I was just playing around while I was just taking a break from trying to use that new wig. Which of course, wasn't working. I swear even though this wig is absolutely beautiful and the shade of blonde is to die for and something people only get through the hair salon. Using the wig itself is a bitch. I had originally wanted to use the Capricorn Wig in a more Real Life setting, rather than in my Water avatar. But I'm exceedingly pleased with the way it turned out and especially the way the legs turned out as well. I had never done that much sheer use before let alone in a gradient and I was weary on how it was going to come out. I know I needed the sheers since it's really what ties everything to together. SO. MUCH. TRANSPARENCIES. So I had to get over my personal failing phobia and just do it. Even though I'm amazingly happy with it, it was still really hard changing out of my last avatar. (Apocalyptic Runway) Seeing as that is one of my favorite avatars I've ever made. It was really a stepping stone for the personal growth I had wanted. Even Kitty said to not change. xD But, fo serius, Arms of the Sea and Gradient Layering tops Rusted and Pitted Shoulder Plates any day of the week.

Even though Sirens are usually depicted as females, I say nay to that gender stereotype.
EQUALITY FOR ALL.


CHIC IRC GALS: I took off the abs seeeeee? I'm but a wee angel, no muscular build-up for me.


OHOHOH ANNDDDD Super excited about this; I've been trying to build up my wardrobe lately and I was finally able to make an avatar only with stuff already in it. Also, I'm using the Thin Seaweed wrap I got from CHIC Secret Santa so thank you to whomever it was that sent it to me. <333
