Dia de los Muertos! I thought that clothing based on this three day celebration that actually spans from the end of October (31st) to through November (2nd) would be appropriate and fun!




A skull mask to go with the skull on the necklace and dress would also be a nice addition...I think. :3

Hmm..maybe I should work on a background or some wings...



This is the background for the above avatar. It features candle bags with skull face cutouts and a banner with cut paper skulls as well!


This is the skull mask, meant to mimic the paint often worn on the faces of festival dancers and attendees.

Alright, well after quite a bit of back and forth, trying to figure out what I wanted to make, I finally decided! Though coming up with everything is still taking a while, so I'll probably keep editing this until the last minute. XD

Personally, I love going to Renaissance Festivals in the Fall, when it's cool enough you don't cook in your costume, like the ones in Summer. And so, I based my entries on a common RenFaire costume, a Faun!
Faun costumes are also fun to wear on Halloween, like any costumes we make for events throughout the year.


So these are the items I've come up with so far.

Outfit: Faun Costume (recolorable)
Head: Faun Costume Horns or just Faun Horns (recolorable)
Held: Faerie Friend (multiple color options)
Back: Ribbon Faire (recolorable)

Just looked through all of these and they're awesome! Great job you guys! I wish I could draw. lol

OTL Aaron I was halfway through drawing a faun design when I saw this
Yours is beautiful though!! I hope it gets chosen. :3 And that Faerie Friend is adorable!

Lol, oops, well, great minds think alike!

And thank you~

Awesome design! Fauns are one of my favorite mythical creatures.

Idea for a back item, with the idea being the the avatar has just jumped/walked into a pile of leaves, thus the 'falling' leaves behind them. ^^' Please let me know if the stamp feature isn't permitted. If it's not, I'll go ahead and try to hand draw the leaves.

Wanting to make sure that this is okay or if I need to re-do it and hand draw the leaves...

This is the Halloween/pumpkin outfit. I don't really know what to call it lol.

I also don't know how to make this larger soooo...

It's fine.
