Judging Criteria:



Oh boy! so what exactly are you going to be judged by?

we will be judging your avatar along these criteria:
-How well it relates to the theme
-Creativity
-Interpretation


How well it relates to the theme:
Obviously, you can't be entering for King Oberon if you're dressed up like a queen, right? We understand there's only so many items on Menewsha, but try your best. <3



Creativity:
Give us something that stands out! It's not a cosplay contest, we want you to use your own little twist! Don't forget to explain it. ;D

Interpretation:
This shows how well you understand the character. e.g If you're cosplaying Puck, have your avatar hold something mischievious!

Don't forget the explanation! Since mene items are exactly shakepearean, we need a little bit of info -1- 4 sentances- describing your avatar with what's going on in correlation to the character.


J
udging will take two days, and we'll announce the winners Via PM or through a thread. (If King wishes to) Good luck everyone!

Description: Puck is really a nature ish fairy. Very leafy. He has horns, so I gave him some.. and well he's basically covered in leaves. So that's why theres so many..leafy things. He's really mischievous or said to be, so I gave him a play gun >_>'' cause.. he also causes trouble. The flower represents the flower he had to collect then turn into a potion.

Description: Tried making puck look as mischievious as possible. I thought the smirk and mask was good for that, as I didn't want him looking silly, but more underneath the rug kind of mischievious. The red and gold kind of make him more towards a 'bad' side, considering what deed he does. The flower represents the flower he is sent to get by the King Oberon.

Description: I made him brown and green and added the clover to give it a nature theme, and he is barefoot to make him seem more like a mischevous little guy. The rose is for the flower he makes into a potion for Titania. [It's a female base, but he is a guy!]

Description: He's holding a flower because of the magical flower's significance in the story. He's surrounded by snowflakes to show his ability to change the weather and his wings are the same color to show a correlation between the two and the magical mysterious he has. I picked clothing that would be trendy around the time, because I figured that's what he would wear, if he does, debatably wear much of anything at all. I gave Oberon a crown and cape to signify royalty.

edit- and please ignore his lips, it's because if the AC xD

Description: I used mostly dark and royal colours like gold, red and black to represent the sort of evil in Oberon for going against his wife just to have a knight. No wings since I've never seen him with them. The staff is a symbol of power as king, as well as the crown.

Description: The scepter he carries in place of a sword symbolizes the fey who fight at his bidding. The black bouquet (ouch, does not match her dress) symbolizes his uneasy relationship with his queen. He is wearing clothes that fit his station and show some of his darker side.

Description: I wanted her to be beautiful, queenly, and caring. I decided to put the birds since she seems to...like animals..and what not so yeah ^^"" thought it was a nice add on. Half the pictures I've seen of her have wings, the other half don't so I was a little "Uhh" Ish about the whole thing since Oberon has no wings what so ever. Umm... She doesn't strike me as the most ..cheerful person.

Description: I wanted to do something that had the evening look, since the poem, in my perspective, had that beautiful evening theme. Plus, blue is a calming colour, which suit Titania very well. The glass represents the potion that Oberon has Puck get for Titania to drink to fall in-love with the "ass" (>___<). I tried to make her very free flowing and natural as possible. Which explains the no shoes and bare skin.

Description: The staff, cloak and crown are to show that Titania is a queen, whilst the wings and halo show she is a fairy. The flower represents the magical flower accidently struck by cupid which is used to create the love potion. Hearts are also used in her outfit to suggest love which is very important throughout the play.

Description: From Titania's court, these four were named after various magical things. Their costumes represent their names- Moth, a darker faerie; Mustardseed, looking earthy; Cobweb, in a cloak and dress of her namesake; and Peaseblossom, looking like a flower.

Description: Tsuki ish a tricky fairy who kidnaps people with yummeh arts---
with few exceptions. >D She doesn't fly ((which is why there are NO wings))
but her speed of running makes up for her lack of "flying" She consists of ribbon
to cover her and give her warmth -points to scarf- And loves to cosplay
as random animals -but mostly cats- ((She's a kidnapper whom stuffs people
in her santa claus bag 8wanted by menewshans and police))

Description: I'd like to introduce to you all Sera; the Bunny Fairy. She is quite tiny with a healthy appetite. She adores dressing herself in pink. She has a wand of which resembles a spindle with green, purple and gold tinsil. She seeks to bring joy to every farmer who crosses her path. It is her way of repenting for over eating in their fields at dusk. Her wings are not at her shoulders but rather at her feet and she often gets ridiculed by other "normal" fairies because of that. She has confidence in her fairy abilities and seeks to prove herself that she, too, is a normal fairy.


*****************************************

I hope this is good. ^^ I am actually going to write a story about her for my personal enjoyment. She is my OC ^^

Description: My inspiration came from Peaseblossom, but the avatar slowly morphed into her Mene cousin: Orangeblossom.
I wanted the colors to be as bright and eye catching as possible, which made orange perfect. There are some floral touches, with the hairpin and bouquet, that keep the avatar in touch with nature and the countryside. The rest is as flowing and delicate as possible, making her feel like someone who could just float on a breeze. She even has the wings to do it!

Description: This Fairy would more be of Queen Titania's ladies. The blue with gold is a representation of good and loyalty. She is also bare like Titania, which makes it more of a natural state, in which true fairies live. Kind of a musician for the Queen.

I would like that one to be the one fairy entry. Thanks!

Description: This is my own mischievous fairy, with the more renaissance guise than Shakespearean dream. He is a fairy of the blushing rose and spends his days playing with the butterflies, and is not easily spotted by mortal eye. Here's a little poem for how he is what he is.

I wear with me a guise of moors,
with butterflies hanging at my doors.
And whimsical breeze blows petals by,
to cause sweet dreams within your eyes.
And dust sparkles bright yet you cannot see,
A fae flower molded as the likes of me.
N'eyr in the heavenly dusk or light of brackish day,
twas only the golden glint of mine eyes that crossed your way.

Description: I am Nippy, an ice fairy. Being of low rank, I don't yet work with snow or hail. My main tasks include frosting windows during the night and encouraging the winter wind. Had Shakespeare's play taken place in a different season, I may have played a larger role. My skin is chill to the touch, and prolonged contact can cause frostbite. However, a brief kiss simply causes a pleasant tingle and icy blue lips.

EDIT:
*phew* I hope this works. It took a while to type. ^_^

Description:
A cheeky little thing though generally nice in his own way, he is often teased by other fairies for not being 'fairie' enough and of his 'dark' appearance.
His specialty is trickery, as he has a natural talent for it. Usually, he aims for naughty or misbehaving children to teach them a lesson or two. But he sometimes does it to other fairies for fun, though never with the intention of causing harm.
However, he is very often misunderstood by others even when his intentions are good because of his general nature, and his cheekiness coupled with his pride certainly does not help things. He has a pendant around his neck, of which he treasures greatly, as it was a gift from someone he cherished, though the person is no longer with him. He loves dancing during the night especially when the moon is round and bright, where fireflies emitting their flickering light follows him in a dance around the fields and forests.

Mascot Sith 07-24-2008 05:59 PM

OK
I know this may sound weird
But is my avi in any of those categories?

KatMagenta 07-24-2008 06:00 PM

I had an idea for Titania too, but I hope I'm not making up a complete different story in my head to the actual play. XD

x-cutie-x-pie-x 07-24-2008 06:00 PM

Mascot; I can't tell you. You enter which category you think it suits most. ;]

Kat; be creative! <3
It doesn't have to match exactly to pictures. ^^

Mascot Sith 07-24-2008 06:04 PM


Alright
Now I have to google every category
x3

x-cutie-x-pie-x 07-24-2008 06:05 PM

xDD
I'm going to guess that's what everyone's going to do. x]

Oberon is a king. Titania is a queen of fairies. Puck is a little servant/sprite thing. Fairy... is just a fairy. x]
