Hey guys. I hope this is not a duplicate.
I`m posting because most of my own avatars are nice-looking with fairly cheap items.

Here is how I do it.

1- Keep to a basic color scheme
2- Avoid using too many items from the same set.
3- Go for shops first! They`re about a million times cheaper.

And the following will I hope be avatars that are formed with the cheaper-end items, affordable even for the new boys and girls, `kay?
