Good job! I am pleased to see so many people stepping out and trying out essence mapping.

I was wondering if someone would make an Avatar for me using this Essence.

Great job with the essence map! There were lots of beautiful metaphors in there.

I think you've already talked to White Raven about the avatar, so I don't need to give you directions.

Great job, Taiven! When I read this I saw a very clear picture of your character. I like her already.

Thanks, it was my first try, but I guess I did pretty good!

Nicely done. Can't wait to see what you do with ECSSBasic (it's the structure/syntax that I use in most of my maps). I think you'd have fun with it.
