Underrated Avatar Spotlight!

[Midnight]

I got this idea a few hours ago and I decided to go ahead and make it. Yay for taking away my board virginity

(Um, I'm 99% positive this is in the right forum? derp.)

ANYWHO.
Post an avatar that you love that has ten adores or less.

Here are some of mine:

TL;DR Okay so I have like a bajillion of Luscious' old avatars on my list. Basically, go to her profile and go to her last pages. I think it just may be that I was around back when these were in style, but I feel like a lot of her older avs are under appreciated

Honourable mentions: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

But my #1 fave has to be:

This is by penguinhoarder. Idk I just love this heaps.

by Luxe.

Lovely theme, and a nice balance of colours.

by Sin.

Idk, it's just so nice and simple, clean layering, spot on colour matching and lovely balance.

Honestly, there are tons more & I'll probably keep posting throughout this thread, but I just wanted to post a few to get this thread started.

This is a great idea!


Coconut by Maja is just so cute and simple! Really nice hair layering, too.


Sunny Side Up and Sunrise, Sunset by Night are just so quirky and cute!


oh so indie in stripes by Ophelia is full of pattern and texture repetition without being over-complicated, all while working one of those devilish striped tanks!

[Luscious]

Awww, thanks Night!



Spring Heartstrings by Charm

I think she's really underrated in general. I've always felt she was an excellent avatar maker who doesn't get noticed as much as she should because she doesn't change that often.



Ribcage Domino by Sin

Lovely layering and color balance, especially for the time period. I've always loved this.



O93 - Friendship Bracelet by Luxe

Andi's just amazing with color balance in general. I think she's also underrated for her level of skill. Not only are the colors perfect here, but the accessory sizes and overall balance (colors and items) are superb.

PUNS

This an example of puns underlying genius, she creates characters out of her HAs unlike other "pretty face" based ones. She matches VERY well and is one of, if not, the quirkiest person on here and deserves more attention!

PERRY

I never understood how someone could be as blind as to not notice how amazing this HA is and the rest of his gallery in general. He matches, has great sense of balancing and full of neat tricks such as above.

These two are some of my favorites and need to be more recognized.

This board is a fantastic idea. Here are some of my favorites:


Shut Up by aiushtha
Probably still one of my favorite male avatars. I love the hair and how the stray strands match the bag. And overall I find him to be a real cutie


SceneVomit by duskshine
This is just one of those avatars that say ~style~ to me. I adore the use of the horn and just love the fantastic real look to it.


Envy by Constance
My mind does no understand how this is more adored. I love this avatar so much. She worked a foresty color scheme and rocked it. It looks sexy and poisonous at the same time.


I open my mouth to breathe! by Soprano
I really love how everything is matched perfectly. Even from the grey in the shoes to that little stripe underneath the shorts. The shirt looks pulled, modern, and just plain awesome. And it's not overdone at all. I love it!

[Maja]

Thank you Shenzi


by Sin
I love this so much. The colors and all the details are divine together and I think the blue just makes the avatar. She even extracted the little orange beads from between the bones on the belt and replicated them on the feet

Bright Eyes by peach
The dress/torso layering is fucking brilliant, and oh my god look at that shine from the rose muting the belle flower and turning it into that greenish yellow

[Elcarim]

All Aboard My Luxurious Cloudboat! By Mythica
This has to be one all my all time favorite HAs, it was way way WAY early for its time and could be seen as in style right as we speak, this deserves so much more attention.

[nouveau]

Pretty damn sure i've whored this avatar before, but this is such a gorgeous masquerade outfit from 2009 by Charm.


punchan is an arteest.

This one only has 9. WUT. D:


by HAWT
Truly a work of art.


by Rea
I love this for so many reasons.
