I will admit that it's definitely not the best challenge I've ever come up with, but I can see possibilities in all of them. The most difficult one in my opinion is going to be Maria's, but I have no doubt that she'll come up with something great regardless.

Mythos, I think your fast food worker idea is genius. Be careful not to overdo it with details.

Also, the assignments were totally random. I just wanted to make sure that no one had their own zodiac >>

That's what I thought. I felt Maria's in particular was rather unfair.

@ Mythos - I have one. Do you still need it?
And like Seiki said, it's a great idea but probably don't make it too complex. Simple isn't always bad.

Thanks! I had a good laugh out of it. I'll try not to over complicate it but details... details!

I'm excited to see what everyone comes up with this round since we all have something very, very different.

If I could borrow it a while and see how things layer I would be so grateful :O

Funny, I saw Maria's and immediately had an idea. I'd be rather stuck if I had had Kent's

So glad I was elimnated to be honest. xD
I wasn't enjoying this theme. It was too stressful.
I'll be entering the next one though.

Well then we'll be glad to have you next time ^.^

Oh boy, this challenge...not sure where to go with it yet.

I have... an idea, but I'm not sure how well it will work.

This one is pretty challenging... I'm envying Mythos, who looks really awesome and carries things across well.

If ever there were a challenge where we'd all do well to give as much feedback to one another I think this one is it. There's a lot of directions to go with each of the prompts depending on how you read them.

Yeah... I would greatly appreciate feedback on mine already...

Remember to laugh as often as possible.

I'm trying to take it as someone doing their darndest to take that advice against all odds.

I normally don't comment on WIPs because I like to remain super impartial during the creation process, but because of the nature of this challenge, I'm willing to offer either 1) a possible entry suggestion, or 2) give one initial comment on a WIP of your choosing.

Hm... I'm not ready for Seiki comments yet... but when I get a little more confident of my theme I might request that!

Can I get some feedback on this WIP?

Mythos: did the VJ item not work?

Sometimes I see you guys in the forums and think you have a really neat avatar and before long I realize I can't comment on them on the avatar side because its for the contest

I think it definitely handles the first half of your horoscope, Chex! I don't know how you could work in the next half...

You guys don't have to do something that encompasses the entire horoscope. You just have to pick one thing in it as inspiration and work off of that.

Not entirely... I did use the headphones from it, though.
I'll send it your way now. Thank you so much for letting me borrow it!

Oooh, yeah the headphone works great!
You bet! :)

Can I get some feedback please? My avvie is my current avvie...

The people who should be pulling your strings are letting you down? If that's what it is, it comes across well! The strings kind of get lost in the black background, though.

yeah D: I'm working on the bg - I was thinking of having it be "white" like this and use the white trimming - what do you think?

I think there are some scratches or something... The more I think about it, the less sure I am about the horns. I know that's for your zodiac sign you've been assigned but it's a bit confusing considering the rest of what is going on. : \

I'm guessing you're dressed as a Maitre d'? That definitely makes sense with your horoscope.

Like Wyrm said, there are a few things which get lost in the black.

I love the white with the trim! It looks really good!

Yeah... I feel like I should change the background, too. And I still don't have an outfit I'm happy with. *ponders*

I'm just honing in on the first part, so that's good that it works. ^^

For your avi, I would work on making the outfit match the surroundings better. There are a lot of individual colors going on that makes it look kinda scattered.

Oh, I wouldn't have seen that, that's an interesting idea. I was thinking of a lecturing professor or something like that.

I made some variations:
and
Better or worse than before? I'm not sure if I like the audience...it makes it more clear that the avi is a lecturer, but it's not exactly the right sort of audience .
