(items in blue)
SO, I have finally made a Pride avatar I'm pleased with!! Originally it was made to feature all of my rainbow or rainbow-inclusive items, but quite a few had to get left out, so I'll probably be doing a couple more looks. This year only Imaginary Friend Reunion (Rainbow), Prince of the Seas Year Seven (Marika's tail), Vivid Rainbow Aiden Hair, HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA, and Sherbert Princess Diamandis (Eyes) made it into the final product, out of the thirty-four items that show up when I search 'rainbow' in my inventory. It's just not enough to overload on a theme, I want it to actually look good too.
Other items for this build were Masquerade (Blue Blush), Compass of Seidh (Bitfrost), Boundless Gaze (up in the air), Baleful Gaia-sama (General Manager's Wrath), Sunrise Siren, Art of Espionage (Empress's Makeup), Liam's Workout (abs), Western Zodiac (Virgo's Crown), Golden Admirer (Psyche's Butterfly Cloak), and Golden Vault (gold ring).
As always, it's a challenge on Gaia to get the backgrounds to layer right (I actually had three clipping through each other at one point, the effect was okay but just not as good), and I had to include a male physique item out of the excessive, constant fear that my male av will not be Male Enough, which is a very legitimate problem here. New items these days are usually slightly more male-inclusive but there are untold thousands of legacy items that just Aren't At All. The two makeup items helped refine the face a little more, especially under such a heavy and eye-catching hairpiece, and made it match the tail a bit better.
Overall, I'm very pleased! This was a lot of work, but I really think it was well worth it. Whatever you're after, this piece is giving: merman? giving. pride? giving. romantic prince? giving. glitter for days? giving. gold for days? giving. I mean, what more do you want for real lol
