Free dAvatar : Zodiac - Gemini

Fave it if you use it.
Don't edit it in any way or claim it as your own work.

Base: ~KioIcons

This is part of my Zodiac project. I started the Zodiac back in September 2007 with a Libra doll but it took so long I was put off making the rest and decided I'd prefer to do smaller versions. I just hadn't gotten on with it or found a base I wanted to do 12 separate dolls on. Then I found ~KioIcons's delightful little base and decided to do a series of 12 free Zodiac avatars for use on dA. ^^

I hadn't considered when I restarted this project that Gemini was effectively two avatars. Kio's icon bases are perfect for the 50x50 space so I had to get creative and find a way to smoosh twins into one avatar. I did consider some kind of mirror effect, as if they weren't twins at all but a reflection of the other, but, ah, wayyyyyy over my head.

So instead, I decided to make one girl with two facets. I suppose it's a bit cliche in a way, but I feel that it works. ^^

The clouds are there because Gemini is associated with Air. I'm quite proud of them, though I realise they could be done much better.

All in all, I'm happy with this. ^^ I just wish people would start using the damn things.

Update: (Jan 28th '09) Added a white border around the doll, plus edited the eye colour (it was suggested (by ~animegirlfroggy) that I make one eye blue and the other green/brown but after agreeing and going to edit, realised they already were blue/green. So I basically just tried to bring out the colours more).
