well yes, if you are someone like me, you fall in love with one item each time have an update (lol, this is bad for gold count...), and then you wait for tektek to get the poses, and debate wheter to buy it or not, but (at least for me) the big question is, "what happens with my art? D:"
i feel this way when i change my hair/eyes/eye color, i felt in love with this outfit, but i had some art with my past avatar, and i can´t draw so, i feel i wasted all my old art ;_;

so yeah, have this ever happened to you?
does the fact of buying or getting good art as a gift, does it makes you not want to change your avatar?

yes my english is fail *shots*

that is precisely the reason I made a few OCs. besides, OC art is so fun to get and draw. (:

but, yes, I had that problem so much... I kept an orange ponytail for four-five years cause I was sad about the arts.

but now I understand that art is still meaningful. ^ ^

i don't buy or ask for avatar art for that reason (but i think it's okay if you buy it and change your look, cuz it's a memory preserved? )

then again... i change the look of my oc's all the time orz

Ah..I collect more about art styles than just my avatar. Even if I change avatars, as long as the person draw for me at that moment makes me happy. ~w~

Aww~ Yeah, I usually don't ask for avi art since I'm always changing my outfits. XD I stopped making myself flobs for that reason, I just don't quite keep the avatar for very long. >__>;;;

However, it's harder for me to choose an OC to have drawn. :< I have more than a handful and though it'd be fun to get more art done of them I have horrible references so I don't want to subject anyone to it. >__>

That's why I almost never do it XDD

Except during the Ramune Campaign (tm) when I was whoring myself out tons and got a lot of art of that particular avi *u* But it's almost a character to me now so I didn't mind getting it even though I knew I would change the avi eventually D;

It's funny because I'm drawing myself as that avi right now too -w-;;;

Personally, getting art of multiple avatars of mine makes the idea of collecting art more exciting. o: I like variety.

Fortunately, I have unlimited funds to spend on art. The hardest thing is just finding an artist who has open slots / willing to take bribes. xd

What stays the same for me is:
- Hairstyle/Hair color
- Star tattoo
- Glasses
- Ear piercing

And I stick with one outfit for quite a while.
So I'm good with the whole art thing. C:

I keep the same hair color and styles, plus, the same eye color for all my avis so its consistent in aviart
XD

hmm I've actually never stuck to one avi so all my avi arts different, though I do feel like nothing distinguishes my avi art from another cause my avi's art always change. But it also takes away that feeling of not being able to change your avi even when newer items come out that you like.
