Twisted & Surprised Avatar Contest Results!
 

It's that time again! :D

I have to say, I really enjoyed the theme of this event, and I think it let you guys loosen up a bit when it came to avatar creation. Sometimes it's good to not take yourselves too seriously! :D (ACers, I'm lookin' at you! :XP)

We want to thank everyone for entering, and hope to see you next time. :)

Surprise Sizzla!

I have to say, I was about 50/50 on these avatars. Some of them were quite surprising, leading me to bug my eyes out, laugh hysterically or react something like this: :gonk:. On the other hand, others were just kind of, "Oh, hey there. That's a nice avatar..." Some were just ... not as surprising as I'd like.

So, to start off, I've got a few honorable mentions for outfits that stood out more than others. Each of you will receive 500g.

Captain Aamelia:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...a/34033-31.pngThis one is just matchy and cute overall. It's a nice avatar, and pleasing to the eye, but not really surprising.
Ferra:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...AprilFools.pngI really liked this outfit, but I think I would have been more surprised by it had I not seen it before I started judging. XP I think that aspect alone would have gotten you into the top three with this particular outfit, but alas! Still, great avatar!
JapaneseCherryBlossom:http://oi54.tinypic.com/2wefody.jpgAgain, I wasn't particularly surprised by this avatar, but I like the composition and theme. Nice work. :D
Kiari:http://i53.tinypic.com/34ql0ki.jpgI picked this avatar because it made me :lol:. I think the theme is amusing — I can only imagine snakes wanting to eat spiders, not be afraid of them!
Roxxxy:http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...ree/656565.pngThis one is just crazy, and that's why I like it. XD

Iltu:http://i52.tinypic.com/dxnvxj.pngYour take on the swan queen was pretty hilarious. After seeing Black Swan myself, I think this is fairly representative of Natalie Portman's character. :rofl:


And now it's time for our top three winners!

In third place (1,000g), with an avatar that was definitely surprising, is...

http://i308.photobucket.com/albums/k.../42321-1-3.pngClair Voyant:! Congrats! For some reason, I REALLY like the face of this avatar. It makes the whole avatar for me. It's random and silly, and I just plain like it.



In second place (3,000g), with a :lol:-worthy avatar is...
http://i52.tinypic.com/jph7d0.pngEastriel:! Congrats! Along with your brief description, this avatar won me over. :D Gotta be careful when it comes to cooking your food. I mean, BBQ's don't run themselves! STOP DROP & ROLL YO! :rofl:



And in first place (5,000g), with an avatar that had me (and my boyfriend, Ian) busting out laughing is...

http://i54.tinypic.com/2vneuyu.png@.Simplicity.;! Congrats!!! Your avatar was shocking, hilarious and simple, and it caught my attention immediately.

Congrats to all the winner

Congrats Linn! and woody! lol

Thanks so much guys!! I'm glad I got a good laugh out of mine. It was one of those last minute inspirations. I saw that a lot of people were doing iconic children's characters and I was spending that evening brainstorming. Then I saw the green alien skin and immediately thought of Oscar and a star was born. ;) Lots of violent looking entries, but not much in the way of the other path...so I thought it was brilliant.

I showed it to hubby and he just shook his head. LOL.

Those avatars are quite crazy looking.

Congratulations to all the winners!
