Siz and Dar's Excellent Avatar-Adventure! ~ Contests closed, thanks so much for playing everyone!
 


An avatar contest hosted by Sizzla & Daria


Welcome to the Festival of Winter Nights 2011 avatar contest!

For this event, we have something shiny and new for all of you fantastic outfit-makers out there!

There will be a series of mini avatar contests in this thread during the event. You will have a small window of time where you may enter each contest. Once that contest closes, you will no longer be able to enter for that contest.

Judging will commence at the end of the event, as per usual.


Your Hosts:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...a/23197-11.png
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 wonderfully color-coordinated avatars!

Helpful hints from Sizzla:
Please, PLEASE follow the instructions and get your entries in on time! We're going to be super anal about entries, so if you don't follow the specifications, we'll be asking you to remake your avatar. :yes: FAIR WARNING! ;D

http://i40.tinypic.com/qzgjyv.png
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 ...If you make me Laugh out loud in real life, you probably have a winner... Above all else, have fun!

General Rules for All Contests
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 mini contest, 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 post up until your avatar 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 will NOT be able to edit an avatar once the mini contest you entered in has ended.
  • You may NOT submit the same avatar for any of the contests. We really want you guys to treat these contests as different entities. If you do submit the same avatar to multiple contests, all entries following the first will be disqualified.

The Fifth Stop: Rochelle Harbor

Rochelle Harbor is known for it's traveling winter Sugarplum Village! The Sugarplum Village is a traveling seasonal fair run by a confections master and her students.

Your contest challenge:

1) Create an avatar that is either the confections master or one of her students, baking or cooking something for the Sugarplum Village fair.

2) All entries need to either have your finished food product or the baking instruments you used while making your masterpiece equipped. So basically, have a food item equipped.

3) Yes, group entries are fine. The usual requirements apply for group entries, one entry per account *No main/mule entries*

4) Reference pictures of finished food items are acceptable but not required, HOWEVER, we love food ... So we do keep this in mind when judging things.

TL;DR: Imagine you're a chef/chef student.

Cook something.

I thought it was only appropriate for the head chef of the Sugarplum Village faire to be the Sugarplum Fairy herself! :heart:

Reference Photo: Ohh, how lovely! Guests! I was almost giving up on guests showing up! Do take a seat, and allow me to introduce myself...I, am the great chef, Femure Mandibilia! I've been in a good mood of late, and have decided to make some wonderful dishes to celebrate the occasion. Here, try this appetizer, salsa sauce on baked bread, with crunchy little bits of protein. ...No? Don't like bugs? Well how about this dish then? Fresh spring onions sprinkled over ginger and steamed abalone. It's quite good, I must say. And of course, let's not forget the main course, of which the ingredients took me quite some time to find! I'm quite proud of the results. ...No? You sure? Hm, you humans are strange, denying perfectly well-cooked meat. Fine. How about this one? I've made extra dishes of main courses just for cases like these. Try this one, doesn't it look delicious? Made out of the finest meats of a cat, I'll say! Took me a week to find the perfect feline for this, not too large, not too small. And finally, here's the dessert! ...What? No! No human parts or bugs. I swear! Really! See? I'll cut it open for you- ...You're sure? But...Oh fine. *grumble* Humans... Oh very well, if you insist on skipping dessert, at least have a drink. I have some- ...water? Just water?? Oh I am so dismayed, but your wish is my command, honorable guests. Here are some water, nothing added- Oh for heaven's sake! *watches the guests flee in exasperation* I will never understand humans...*shakes head*

Woody was so excited to bring something tasty to the Sugarplum Village Fair, wanting to impress all the teachers. She knew that there would be a lot of sweets, so she hurried to her kitchen and started up something savory. Unfortunately, there was a horrid stove incident, and most her her neighborhood was taken out in the fall out. Lucky for her, however, the ham was divine!

Rose was very excited about making sweets for the Sugarplum Village fair. Things got off to a great start as she made some pies, but it was when she started making her cake that things went wrong. Peeblo had come over to her and asked if he could help. He seemed interested and innocent at the time, but one should know better than to trust this little imp. Unfortunately in her excitement she didn't consider the fact that Peeblo was probably up to no good. Gratefully she accepted his offer. Things went fine at first and the cake made it into the oven. After it was in the oven to bake Peeblo started to throw the pies around and at Rose. In the confusion and mess she ended up leaving the cake in a little too long, but that really didn't matter since it was already on fire. Apparently Peeblo had slipped something into the batter so that it was ignite while cooking. Hopefully this little incident has taught Rose a lesson...

STORY THAT GOES ALONG WITH THE AVI. ENJOY ;)X

Hello all and welcome to the Sugarplum Village Fair!
What with so many traveling Menewshans arriving, the master chef had to hire a little extra help. She has enlisted the help of a little bunny named Sugar. Now, don't go making assumptions about Sugar.... You may be thinking "Why, it's a bunny! A bunny certainly can't cook or even be able to communicate with the students!" Well, that's where you'd be wrong! You see, that's what poor Angel thought when she was assigned to work under Sugar making a Figgy Pudding.
When Angel signed up with a few of her friends to work for the great confectionist, she was very excited to showcase her fine cooking skills for all to enjoy. Cooking and baking had always been a passion of Angel's, so she was a bit devastated to learn that instead of baking with the great confectionist, she was assigned to bake with her assistant...Sugar. Her friends gave her sympathy as they talked about what hardships were in store for her....seeing as she was assisting a bunny.
Angel was now more than ever determined to prove her worth. She practiced cooking and baking day and night to give her a leg-up. "I don't need help to make a delicious Figgy pudding," she declared "especially from a bunny!".
The day finally arrived for Angel to bake her Figgy Pudding for the anxiously awaiting Menewshans. She gathered up all her courage and walked over to the baking station where Sugar was already waiting. Angel quickly got to work preparing all of her utensils and ingredients ignoring Sugar, who kept tugging at her legwarmer, all the while. Finally frustrated with the tugging, Angel decided to see what the little bunny could possibly want before she started creating her masterpiece. Afterall...she couldn't have this little bunny constantly underfoot while she was running about. She looked down to find little Sugar holding up a carrot, offering it to her. Angel politely declined and went back to her preparations when she felt another tug. She looked down again to see Sugar still holding the carrot up to her but this time Sugar had the sweetest look on her face. "Well, what's the worst that could happen?" she thought as she took the carrot and bit into it.
Her head started spinning as soon as she swallowed the bite of the funny tasting carrot. Sugar jumped on her head and held another carrot in front of her face. "No, I don't want another carrot!" Angel proclaimed "I'm going to be sick from the first one you gave me."
The spinning got worse and worse until she finally had to close her eyes. After the spinning had slowed, Angel felt she could try to start baking. She opened her eyes to find the carrot still dangling in front of her face when a strange feeling rushed over her. Suddenly the carrot was irresistible and she just had to have it. She quickly reached out to grab it when it was yanked to the side. She reached for it again and it was pulled away once more. She glanced upward to find Sugar still sitting on top of her head saying "Now you be a good little student and do as I say and you may have the carrot."
"What's this!?", you ask? "Angel can understand what the bunny is saying?? Impossible!" Well, how else did you think Sugar would communicate with the students, but with a magical carrot that temporarily brainwashes the consumer.
Angel is now being drug all over the kitchen, forced to do Sugar's bidding in the hopes of finally getting the delicious carrot being dangled in front of her.

Nai wanted to make something special for the villagers, and decided that she would put a twist on her master Amaltheia's decadent cupcake recipe. Being...semi-not-so-well-versed in the ways of magic and lore, Nai decided to enchant the cupcakes to sing lovely carols. Unfortunately the spell went awry, and now the cupcakes just chatter incessantly about fashion, sweets, all around gossip. One even went so far as to bake herself a puppy-cake, and insists on dragging it wherever she goes! While they still taste amazing, they make the most unappetizing face when bitten. Nai really needs to figure out how to fix this, before Amaltheia comes back and sees what a mess has been made...Anyone want a chatty cupcake?

Seito didn't understand. She knew she was new to the whole cooking thing, but there's no way she could be that bad right? Right?! Cause her chicken turned out nothing like the chef's juicy plump mouth water chicken.
http://mangoblack.com/wp-content/upl...Chicken_lg.jpg

Instead hers came out black and flat and nothing like the head chef's one.

"I don't understand!!" Seito sobbed. "The head chef will kill me if I don't get this right." She looked at the bucket of MFC in her hands. "No one will notice if I use MFC chicken instead," she told her desperately. Seito needed this job! She can't get fired on the first day for being such a horrible cook! There was no way she was this bad.

Seito would find out later on that the reason why her chicken was so bad was because Peeblo decided to replace her supply for chicken meat with rubber ones!

The First Stop: Garland

Garland is a festive place, decked out to the nines with bows, boughs and bells!

For this contest, we're starting off easy by asking you to make the most matchy-matchy avatar you can.

The Rules:

1) Avatars must contain ONLY the following colors (skin color doesn't matter, but hair and eye color must also be in these colors):
• Green
• Red
• Gold
2) Avatars MUST contain ALL of the above colors.

If your avatar does not meet these requirements, your entry will not be accepted and you'll be asked to resubmit your entry.

NOTE: Hair colors are hard to get right, so here are some shades to get started. You can tweak them as needed, but I figured you'd want a jumping-off point. http://www.menewsha.com/forum/commun...cab2d34a7d.gif

Red: #611414/#f4151b
Gold: #ba7117/#feeeb2

The Second Stop: Reinsend

The village of Reinsend has long been known for its domestication of the reindeer that inhabit this part of the island. The villagers have a long tradition of building sleighs, sledges and carriages from the plentiful forests around their homes. All of the carriages used on the whole island come from here.

At this time of year they celebrate with bonfires and dancing and a festival they call the Sleigh Parade.

For this contest, we're asking you to become a parade performer. You must prepare yourself by creating a spectacular bonfire entertainment act.

The Rules:

1) First, create your costume. Your avatar must be dressed as if you were performing in the Sleigh Parade. This is fairly open-ended and your avatar does NOT have to be matchy-matchy, but it does have to MAKE SENSE! Random placement of items "just because" will not be permitted.

2) All avatars must have at least one fire item equipped. The item has to be ON FIRE! No fire, no entry.

3) Please include a three-paragraph (a paragraph is AT LEAST three sentences) description of your performance/act in the parade in detail. Please put a blank line in between your paragraphs so I know what you think is the end of a paragraph. Remember: No paragraphs, no entry.

Remember, you must work for GLORY!

If your avatar does not meet these requirements, your entry will not be accepted and you'll be asked to resubmit your entry.

This contest will end when the train arrives at Icy Peaks on December 28 at 4 p.m. Central.
ABSOLUTELY NO entries submitted after that time will be accepted.

The Fourth Stop: Saint's Pole
Saint's Pole is another one of those curious villages many Menewshans have heard of, but few have visited. A hundred years ago, a small band of artisan elves moved here so they could set up a village to produce their clever wares, lead by a gentleman elf everyone remembers as "Good ol' Nick." Though the elves have since moved on, artisans serious about their crafts — and toymaking in general — seek out Saint's Pole to study with masters.

Every year during Winter Nights, the residents exchange gifts of their preferred crafts to show off their skills.

The Rules:

1) Your avatar must be dressed as/cosplaying a REAL toy. Accuracy is key! And no, GAMES are NOT toys. :yes:

2) Entries MUST include a reference photo. Any entry without a reference photo will not be accepted.

3) This can be a group or single-entry contest. So, if you would like, you can submit an entry as a group of toys with a group of fellow traveling Menewshans. However, if you chose to do a group entry, only one avatar per person. That means no main and mule entries.

This contest will end when the train arrives in Rochelle Harbor
on January 1 at 12:45 p.m. Central (or whenever
Siz & Daria wake up and change the contest on New Year's Day. XP)
.

ABSOLUTELY NO entries submitted after that time will be accepted.

Reserved for shits and giggles, because I like giggles!

DariaMorgendorfer 12-23-2011 11:36 PM

AANNNDDD The contest is now open and ready to accept entries! Remember this will be a MULTICHALLENGE contest. Each contest will have very specific rules and we will reject all entries that do not meet the entry criteria.

Dottie Mae Evans 12-23-2011 11:47 PM

This sounds like a fun contest, although I'll have to change my avatar right away. ^_^;

Will there be other avatar contests during this event, or the "Red, Green, and Gold" themed one the only one?

DariaMorgendorfer 12-24-2011 12:08 AM

LOL, Lizzy, you may want to take another gander at the rules, as it is clear you have not read them well enough. I recommend with this years contest you READ EVERYTHING. Folks who skim will likely be disappointed.

Roachi 12-24-2011 12:21 AM

I'll be sure to join this time round ^^

DariaMorgendorfer 12-24-2011 12:28 AM

Just please pay attention to the contest end time:) I love me the Roachi entries!

Vickyll3 12-24-2011 01:08 AM

Like always I will be joining this contest

shinigamikarasu 12-24-2011 01:11 AM

This looks like a lot of fun. I might actually enter for once.

Linnea 12-24-2011 01:43 AM

fantastic new twist to the avatar contest, daria and sizzla! hope it's a great turnout!

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 12-24-2011 01:46 AM

Wow, that was a hard contest. I had a heck of a time finding items without accent colors that didn't fit the criteria (white, black, etcetera). Made it very challenging. ^_^ But fun. ^_^ Good luck everyone! Can't wait to see what the next contest is.

blueblackrose 12-24-2011 02:02 AM

The avatar contest is always one of my favorites. It'll be fun to come up with avatars to enter.

Hatake Ayumi 12-24-2011 02:04 AM

... Eep, guess I should get to work on avatars!

DariaMorgendorfer 12-24-2011 02:06 AM

Ooh, good point Saravi. I'll go make up one of those entry form, and steal your format!

Saravi Boo 12-24-2011 02:09 AM

I'm flattered Daria. ^_^ You are welcome to it.^_^ I would have made the colored words larger too but I was being lazy and using the quick post instead of the advanced. lol.

DariaMorgendorfer 12-24-2011 02:16 AM

I futzed with the font a bit, but kept the red/green colors etc. :)

ALSO: It looks like we have our first qualifying entry! Well done Saravi!

Rabid Rainbow 12-24-2011 02:17 AM

Ooh, I like the twist on this contest! I'll enter my current avvi once I make a few modifications (since I've got a little bit of silver and white accent).
