An avatar contest hosted by Sizzla & Daria

Welcome to the Valentine's Day 2011 avatar contest!

There will be two categories this time around: Valentine's Colors avatars and Lovers/Villains avatars.

Your Hosts:

Hey guys! I'm Sizzla, and most of you have probably seen me around the forums at some point or another. I've hosted most of the avatar contests during our events now, and it seems that this time I'm at it again. I'm looking forward to seeing all of your wonderful outfits!

Helpful hints from Sizzla:
Please, PLEASE follow the instructions! If your avatar is entered into my contest and you don't have the right colors in your outfit, you won't be entered, so make sure you're dressed appropriately.

Hey folks! You may have seen me on such shows as "Beavis and Butthead" and MTV's "Daria". Now, I make my happy little home here on Menewsha, bringing sarcasm and humor to all its good little girls and boys. I am really looking forward to seeing what you all come up with!

Helpful hints from Daria:
Be very creative! Originality and humor goes a long way with me. I almost never am looking for avatars with 101 layers, but am looking for something fun and different...Above all else, have fun!

Rules
Read the rules and follow 'em. That's all we ask! XD Make sure you read them all too, because there may be something in the rules that's necessary for your entry...

First and foremost, make sure you follow the Site Rules.
Be respectful! Constructive criticism is fine, but please don't be rude to other entrants.
You can only enter once in each of the categories, and you may not enter on a mule account. If you do try to enter on a mule, we'll know, so just don't bother. XD
Please be sure to use the entry form when you post your entry. Failure to post the form will result in your avatar not being entered into the contest.
You may use your own inventory and the Dream Avatar Creator (DAC) to make your outfits.
Please be sure to save your entry to an outside image host like Photobucket, tinypic, imgur or imageshack. What we see is what we'll judge, so be sure that the avatar you enter is saved and won't change.
If you want to change your entry, you may edit your submission up until it is posted on the front page. Once it is posted on the front page, you'll have to PM Sizzla OR Daria (but not both!) if you want to change anything.
You may NOT submit the same avatar for both contests. We really want you guys to treat our contests as different entities. If you do submit the same avatar to both contests, your entries will be disqualified.
Entries must be submitted by February 20 at NOON CST. Click here to find out what time it is in Central Time Zone right now! Winners will be announced in the Community Discussion forum shortly after the event ends.

Prizes
We'll choose first, second, and third place winners in each of the categories. Other prizes might be added as the event goes on, depending on the amount of entries received.

Prizes are as follows:
For participating: You'll receive a King of Hearts Crown
First place: 5,000g
Second place: 3,000g
Third place: 1,000g

Lovers or Villian's Contest
So, I decided to try something a bit different for this Vday. This is a group or single entry contest, but I will be pretty strict on the entries following the rules based on the theme. PLEASE READ ALL THE FOLLOWING RULES.

To enter the "Lovers" contest: This is a Group only entry. The minimum number of entries in this contest is 2. You can have the "Villian" who thwarts your "lovers" enter this contest with you, but if you are entering the lovers contest, I want to at least see one of each lover.

An example of an entry to the "Lovers" contest would be "Pongo" and "Perdita" from Disney's 101 Dalmations, and an example of the additional villian for this pair would be an avatar of Cruella De Vil.

To enter the "Villian" contest: This is the possible "single entry" contest, but again, if you want to do a group entry, please feel free to do so. An example of a single entry Villian would be an avatar of "The Joker" from the movie Batman, however this could be a group entry if The Joker teams up with Harley Quinn or the Penguin to incite mischief.

Because of the nature of this contest being a COSPLAY contest, I really need to see reference pictures. No reference picture, no qualifying entry.

Also: You may only enter my contest once...I figured that was kinda obvious, but just in case...There it is:)

Woohooo! We're open for entries!

*raises hand* Uh, Daria! Can I enter your Lover's entry with just my mule and myself dressed as lovers? Or do I have to find another user?

You'll need to find another user to enter the lovers contest:) A main and a mule are not allowed. However you can enter a villian on your own.

AH! Okay. :) Thanks for clearing that up for me. :heart:

Not a problem, I tried to make it clear in the rules, but I guess I didn't...

Yay! Avatar contest for the win! :)

Just wondering, can the matchy Valentine colours themed avatar be anti-Valentine?

Looking at Sizzla's rules, it doesn't say the avatars have to be Valentines day themed, just either mostly red or mostly pink...So that's how I'd take that:)

That's awesome! :) I'm definitely into creating more anti Valentine avatars lately...

Thanks for clearing that up Daria.

Pa-pancake: It does say in her rules they need to be "festive"....Maybe shoot her a PM just to be on the safe side...

This is Pegasus J. Clawford from Yu-Gi-Oh!, and unfortunately there wasn't a Millennium eye item so I made do with an eye patch. I added a drawing room background to suit his personality. For all the Yu-Gi-Oh! fans out there, enjoy! :D!

DariaMorgendorfer: Okies. I'll send her a pm later on to ask.

In my mind, 'festive' now could mean... lots of blood! ^^"

I just love avatar contests! :D
Now this means I gotta think up a new outfit. :gonk:

i used cream and green as accent colours... if this is not ok, let me know... i will fix it. i just liked the way the cream looked with the pink and red. i found it really helped to soften them up so they were more embracing as opposed to abrasive. i think love is soft and kind, not overwhelming and thats what i tried to achieve with my avatar. It is still overwhelmingly pink and red in my opinion. so i think it should count. But i understand if it doesnt since i didnt use the appropriate accent colours... again... lol... so i am willing to change it. i just really like the way this one turned out.

Yeah you do Demo! I want as many entries as possible!

This is the Dark Phoenix. Here is the explanation of this character

Quote:

Entries in this category should have have these colors:
* Red and pink should be the dominant colors. Any other colors must be MINIMAL, with the exception of the following:
* You may use black, white, gold or silver as accent colors.

For clarification: It can be Red OR Pink right? Cause pink is going to mess up the look I'm going for >.>

Sorry, but there's too much green and cream. If there were smaller accents, I'd take it, but the skirt and bag are too much. :yes:

Yes, that's fine, as long as it's predominantly red and/or pink.
