Your Hosts:
http://www.menewsha.com/img/56285/5e...8854c7a8c4.pngDariaMorgendorfer 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, bring sarcasm and humor to all it's good little girls and boys. I am really looking forward to seeing what you all come up with! Helpful hints from Daria: Be creative! Originality goes a long way with me. I have a huge sense of humor, so if your avatar makes me giggle, you probably have a winner. Please no icky avatars (i.e. pain, torture, bloody, etc.) This should be fun so, above all else, have fun! http://www.menewsha.com/img/81884/8b...6599ba900e.pngneller Hey there, I'm neller and I'm all for a greatly themed avatar. I can be found searching Menewhsa for those avatars that make me laugh, gawk and wonder "how did they do that?" I love to learn what Menewshan's offer creatively and can't wait to see what ideas you guys can come up with! Creativity counts! Helpful hints from neller: I love to see items used in ways that they have never been used before! There is more to an avatar than the avatar itself, so always consider a background to match your theme! Item flow, consistency and layering are important, so make sure your items are in theme and look nice together! http://www.menewsha.com/img/81884/f8...ff8b2dc995.pngLinnea Yo, Linny here, your friendly neighborhood color coordinator. I've been around Mene for a while now and have come far in terms of colors and layers and I have learned from the best Mene has to offer. Now it's time to put my eye to good use! Show me colors and show me creativity! Do it and reap the rewards! Helpful hints from Linnea: Please, please, PLEASE remember to follow the directions! That being said, I really like to see clever ways of using items and neat ways of layering. Doing what everyone else is doing is boring. Be bold! Rules
Prizes Prizes are as follows: First place: 5,000g Second place: 3,000g Third place: 1,000g |
Holiday Delights: A Colors Contest
This Festival of Winter Nights has got me thinking about how much I don't like the cold so I decided that I'd like a mostly warm colors contest this time around. It is going to be a pretty straight forward. [cool] You just have to make an avatar with the colors blue, red, brown and gold. And because I'm nice like that I'll let you all use some accent colors of white and/or silver/gray. These are accent colors though and should not dominate your avatar entry! *Absolutely NO black this time, so pay attention to your items! *Teal will not count as a shade of blue this time. *Khaki/tans/creams will count as shades of brown though. *The hair and the eyes should meet the color requirements too. *Any skin color is acceptable, unless it's an equippable skin and then that too has to match. *If I have to, I will not accept your entry but you can always redo/edit as many times as you need! [yes] *Transparent fire from Calesco's Fury is an acceptable form of fiery colors. Good luck and feel free to ask questions should they arise [boogie] Holiday Delights: A Colors Entry Form Username: Image of My Entry: Quote:

Once upon a time on Menewsha Island:
The Mayor decided to throw a big ball for all the NPCs on Menewsha to celebrate the defeat of the pirates and the safe return home of all the NPC players. Doesn't that sound like fun? YOUR AVATAR CHALLENGE: Cosplay as one of the many Menewsha NPC players dressed for the party! You must be a recognizable NPC and you must have them in some festive form. So for example, I am dressed as Yumeh. http://www.menewsha.com/img/56285/5e...8854c7a8c4.png For my description I would say: He has his favorite noms and some shiny bits & treats around him to chase and make a mess. REMEMBER GUYS: Creativity, and clean fun/humor goes a LONG way with your judges in this contest. Yes, I will accept group entries if you want to have more than one NPC go to the Ball together. You can also make a theme for a group entry if you want. If there are enough single and enough group entries, I MAY just judge them separately (as two separate contests), giving more people chances to win the bit prizes! So let's have LOTS of AWESOME entries!!! You may only enter my contest once. No mules please. Just in case you need a refresher on who our NPC players are, we have this handy guide for you to use! http://www.menewsha.com/forum/main/i...npc-guide.html NPC Ball Entry Form Username: Image of My Entry: What NPC you are cosplaying: Description of what your NPC player is doing to celebrate: Quote:

For whatever reason, no one really seemed comfortable around her. And in doing so, her shoulders and arms felt... lonely like it was missing something. So Fatima brought along one her plushed snakes. But Zea had other plans as she snuck into the ball under Fatima's dress.

Username: bloodstainedwings Image of My Entry: http://i.imgur.com/uYmlvQ7.png What NPC you are cosplaying: Mr. Mayor Description of what your NPC player is doing to celebrate: Getting warmed up by the fire with a nice drink and sweater.

Username: Woodlandnymph Image of My Entry:http://i1161.photobucket.com/albums/...ps73fe32f3.png What NPC you are cosplaying: Channah Description of what your NPC player is doing to celebrate: What's this a fancy dress party?

She came with her own entourage, backdrops and koi ponds to suit her fancy mood for some fun frippery and photo ops. Because, well, let's face it. She's pretty fabulous. Just get this woman a drink, cause momma needs her liquor. Stat!

Why, it's the social event of the season! She put on her very best gown and accessories, and baked one of her famous lovlipop treats for the party. She also baked a couple batches of cupcakes for the rest of the townsfolk. Vicky could hardly contain her excitement as she strolled through the streets of menewsha and into the ball room Username:Velvet Image of My Entry:http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...ps47eb47d5.png What NPC you are cosplaying:Peeblo Description of what your NPC player is doing to celebrate: Uh-oh! Looks like Peeblo is being his usual self at the Christmas party. He's celebrating in his own way by destroying the holiday food and brought his own kind of holiday beverage! Look at that mess he is making.. There goes the presents! Username: KatMagenta Image of My Entry: http://i.imgur.com/Y9hq0zk.png What NPC you are cosplaying: Lise Description of what your NPC player is doing to celebrate: Lise is celebrating by decorating a corner of the ball in her own brand of festive style.

Those damn kids will learn how to respect him and all of his non-santa's little helper related elfness. This Christmas...he's gonna go out and find all the little toys, trees, cookies and milk and he is going to DESTROY THEM. Well...maybe eat the cookies and drink the milk and then destroy the presents and trees. But, one thing is for certain no one will EVER call him "Santa's wittle helper"ever again. Username: Damia Flagg Image of My Entry: http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps413825b0.png What NPC you are cosplaying: Tesel Valentine Description of what your NPC player is doing to celebrate: I can't believe I let Vicktoria dress me up. I feel so out of place in something like this. Why do I have to wear make-up? I have to bring a gift to the host... What is in this tiny little bag? It's not big enough for a proper weapon. Sorry Vicktoria, I won't go unless you let me keep at least one of my weapons with me. Did someone just kiss me on the cheek? Who was it? I'm afraid to look because I might have to kill them. Can I leave yet? Username:~LONGCAT~ Image of My Entry:http://i.imgur.com/SJ4cYHX.png What NPC you are cosplaying:Baby Yan Description of what your NPC player is doing to celebrate: With his favorite stolen panties, some fireworks that might be Peeblo's [ninja], oh and Channah's lipstick which he has had copious amounts of fun drawing on the walls with, Yan is having the party of his life. And with that face can you stay mad at... Is that pie?! Who gave Baby Yan pie??!! [illgetu] Username: BellyButton Image of My Entry: http://i.imgur.com/na5GY4d.png What NPC you are cosplaying: Cessy! :) Description of what your NPC player is doing to celebrate: Grown-up parties are super fun! I love seeing all the pretty dresses and hearing the music playing, but most especially I love the treats! You won't tell grandpa, will you Auntie Daria? *giggles as she scarfs down a cupcake wayy past bedtime* Username: Suona Image of My Entry: http://i.imgur.com/QOjrDF4.png What NPC you are cosplaying: Channah Description of what your NPC player is doing to celebrate: Our lovely Channah has styled her hair differently for the party, but still looks ravishing. I feel that she would be the type to wear a fantastic holiday sweater and nobody would dare mock her lest they wished to have their head meet her purse. Here we have Channah enjoying a lovely party with the gang, but as she went to put her present with the rest, she found some hooligans trying to tamper with them. A few swings and she put the party back in order so that everyone could still have fun. I feel like she'd be the strong hero that wanted to protect everyones good spirits. And all while not spilling her glass of bubbly. Truly a phenomenal and loving woman, I'd say. Username:star2000shadow Image of My Entry:http://i.imgur.com/A9B49xj.png What NPC you are cosplaying:Cessy Description of what your NPC player is doing to celebrate:Adult party's can be lonely when your the only kid there, so Cessy has wandered outside to build herself a companion. and look they even almost match in their color choices. Username: WherededIGo Image of My Entry: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/20...go-d70gaaz.png What NPC you are cosplaying: Emilio Description of what your NPC player is doing to celebrate: After making sure the party was going well, Emilio decided to make sure the fireworks were going alright as well, and decided to join in the fun and let some loose. However, he was standing too close and one stray firework decided to go off in his immediate proximity. Username: Antagonist Image of My Entry: http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/m...psa7993233.png What NPC you are cosplaying: The Star Eater Description of what your NPC player is doing to celebrate: By bringing out his favorite: Stars! Stars everywhere. Decorative stars, playable stars, edible stars...and his secret guilty pleasure of eating stars dipped in rich, creamy ice cream with marshmallows. The goddesses warned that he'd get fat but hey, that's what celebrations are for, right? :DDDD |
Food-y Festive Fashions!
(Say that ten times fast!) The holidays are a special time for everyone! We all gather around for our family and friends...oh and did I forget FOOD?! For this challenge, I would like to see you create an avatar from an image of your favorite festive foods! Your inspiration can come from the Chex mix your family puts out to tide everyone over until dinner, or the big old turkey your grandmother cooks every year, or even the 3 tier fudge cake that always tastes like paradise. RULES: 1. Your avatar must be inspired by an image of a single food item as a focal point (no images of dinner tables!) 2. The image of food that inspires you may be of an appetizer, main course, dessert, or a beverage. Just keep it festive! 3. You must post the image that inspires you. 4. If your festive food isn't a norm, feel free to explain why it's festive to you! __(Don't worry, my family puts mac n' cheese out every year!) BASICALLY, I would like to see you be inspired by the specific image of food you chose, not so much by the food itself!

HELP ME! PLEASE" it said over and over again. Bewildered, I looked around and saw my gingerbread house. The house was...melting...alas I had left it too close to the stove and down came all the candy. But, what I boggled my mind was the scene inside. There was poor Gingerella wailing in despair as her house came crumbling down.
