	I have so many cute companions + pets I would love to use, but I just can't figure out how to work them into my avatars. I'm talking about the kind where they have an "I am" pose as well as others such as sitting near the legs or on top of the head. Example: X I'd love to see any avatars you've made using these pets, or any tips you have. I'm planning to challenge myself to use the pets in some avatars, which I will then share here. Nara Peyton, the example pet above, is the first on my list. Also, I'm not sure if there's a difference between companions and pets in Gaia-speak. Are companions the larger background characters rather than those I'm talking about?

	Big same! There are so many adorable/fun companions/pets and I've only ever used a fraction. I did some trainer avis a while back. I also feel like they have decent potential in scenics

I do enjoy using cute companions to fill out the empty corner of spaces; also pretty handy when I wanna dress up my avi for a pet/animal holiday.

(and I think companions include like the people NPCs & pets & sd dolls? but I am not sure)

Some I've made this year~~

January
✦2✦ ✧Happy Mew Year Day✧ ❤	✦5✦ Whipped Cream Day✧ ❤	✦10✦ ✧Save the Eagles Day✧ ❤	✦16✦ ✧Appreciate a dragon + Blue Monday✧ ❤
✦18✦ ✧Gourmet Coffee Day ✧ ❤	✦21✦ ✧Squirrel Appreciation Day✧ ❤	✦22✦ ✧Happy Lunar Mew Years Day✧ ❤	✦28✦ ✧Gift of Ladybug Day✧ ❤
February
✦1✦ ✧Serpent Day✧ ❤	✦5✦ ✧Western Monarch Day✧ ❤	✦6✦ ✧Lame Duck Day✧ ❤

Though I was disappointed last year in December not being able to find any llama items on gaia as was thinking of making a llama day avi but gaia only has alpacas xd

But at least this year I have more rabbit items compared to last year so probably can make more bunny theme avi's when easter comes around.

Though there's always a cat or dog holiday every month so likely will wind up making those theme avis in future.
(though there is a frog, spider, butterfly, moth holiday next month too)

I think moths/butterflies go well with the macabre. Life is fleeting after all. "As the butterfly emerges from the chrysalis, it symbolizes our spirit as it emerges from the cast off body. The ancient Maya believed that butterflies were the spirits of their ancestors coming to visit them and assure them all is well." The Maya & Butterflies

	Thanks everyone for sharing ideas! I think I have a hard time using companions because I don't often use backgrounds, so they just float and it doesn't look complete to me. I made my current avvie thinking of using them in a family portrait sort of way. The little rainbow fox is a handheld, but it peeks over the grass in the background so it's hard to tell.

	Just like to point out that whenever I see any witch/wizard/mage/etc avatar without some sort of animal...it just makes me really sad. Magic should always have familiars. 3nodding My Bleu Witchy's familiar is inspired by my real life cat, Zuul. Pics of my cats: The Manbeast and Zuul Gozer the Gozerian
