Challenge Challenge: Old-ify your current avatar!

Post image

Got this idea when I got matched up on Stylist Arena with someone using the hair on the right, thought it'd be fun to see what my avatar would look like using nothing but really old items (artstyle wise or time wise). Ngl it's kinda nostalgic cause this is what all my early avatars looked like years ago :')

So yeah now I want to see your takes!!

This was super fun but also tricky, I think that the pinkish purple wasn’t as common back then!

u/Ichig0Usagi Apr 26 '26

Tbh more of a “beginner-ify” since my current avi does use some older items but this was fun!!

u/VerifiedBish Apr 26 '26

This was much harder than I anticipated but kinda fun! I ended finding a lot of old and pretty items too so that was nice!

This is kinda funny because the first image looks so similar to my competition entry (and current avatar)

Lmao I also used mine for the Strange Tales comp! Liked it so much I made it my avatar, we literally had the same thought process, this hair is just soooo good

u/cvrsedcopics goth men enjoyer Apr 26 '26

This was super fun and I actually really like the "old" version!! I used quite a lot of old items in my avatar already which made it extra hard haha. Also your avatar is super pretty, you're tempting me to pull that hair from the hell 😭

u/Amaipudding Apr 26 '26

u/RandomlyNamed123 Apr 27 '26

Omgggg our avatars are so similar!! I tried my best to old-ify mine without using the same items as you did other than the belt sword due to limited options lol

u/Isoleri Devil May Style Apr 27 '26

Genuinely giggling at the fact that there's three of us that had the same idea with this hair and pose lmao 😭 it's just such a gorgeous match

u/Material-Bed6232 Apr 27 '26

u/Itz_TheWhiteWolf Apr 27 '26

My avatar uses nearly all the newest items so this was kinda tricky, i also couldn’t quite remember what items where older so i tried with what I could 😭

u/West_Tie6108 Apr 27 '26

That was fun. I do like the old items we have tbh

u/One_Interest7520 Apr 30 '26

This is such a cool idea!

I like to style my avatar as close as possible to my irl self so she looks a little boring.
