If I were out more in public, I'd totally incorporate it a little more into my daily wear. I think it's a style movement that has a niche for just about everyone to look good. Or actually everyone, provided they dress to properly flatter themselves and their unique qualities.

whoa that's such a good outfit. i love the whole steampunk movement in general.
did you make the clothing yourself or did you buy it? *-*

Thanks! Bought all of it. xD Sheepskin ("sheepskin"?) boots were purchased in Australia. Striped pants were bought second-hand... Brown silk shirt the same. Corset bought at Corset Story. I can say I "made" the necklace by taking a cheap old pocket watch and putting it on a ribbon, but that's hardly rocket science. xD

My best friend sews and I'm sad I'm on the other side of the world from her 'cause she can't teach me very well from there.

Updating front page!

I ought to be back before the event closes, but I just want to say in advance do not worry if the front page isn't updated with your entry before the event closes. I'll see it - I promise. xD

Island Contest Finale Entry
Username: Whimzica
Island Represented: Tapio
Commentary: Kappas are a mischievous little folk, often leading unwary travelers into swamps and deep water. However, they are exceedingly clever as well, and a great prize for a pirate to own. They can warn of danger ahead, and they know much of healing. Once they have given you an oath, they are honor-bound to keep it, making a very reliable companion. They take great skill to catch, but the payout is worth it!

Bonus Round!
Username: Whimzica
Question One All of them!
Question Two No, I'm usually not a group person.
Question Three: Merkhet & Tapio, although I really liked them all. It really gave us some great inside looks into all the islands' history and culture.
Question Four: Yes! Gave a good amount of time to design, especially if we couldnt be on one day, we didnt miss the deadline.
Question Five: I wish we coulda done entries for all islands, not just 1/2 in each round (maybe just 1 point for a second entry in the round?). :p

Island Contest Finale Entry
Username: bloodstainedwings
Island Represented: tapio
Commentary: Tapio sells meddlesome creatures that are common on their island, but rare on other islands and sell for a good amount. They only need to sell every once and a while to thin the herd, and its better than killing them for the same purpose. Today, I am selling a monkey that wont let go, a kappa that stole a child recently and a dragon and has been burning our crops.

Well, didn't manage to enter very many of the categories or contests this event. My baby boy was born on Dec. 28th. Been waaaaay too busy since then to even get on here. Might try to enter the last category now though.. If I have the time.

Chexala 01-02-2015 11:14 PM

Wow, congratulations on your little boy, Velvet!

Thank you both. <3


Esmme, yeah, I managed to scrap up enough for one of each of the EIs. :) Luckily I had a few event tokens (the stamps this event) left over from the last event. That helped a whole lot.

Question Two yes :)
Question Three: Milos was definitely my favorite! I also liked Gwydion
Question Four: I loved it! There was a theme for everyone this time [eager]
