I hope you guys don't hate the next challenge. You're all going to have kind of similar avatars I think unless you think outside the box with it.

But you're right Sizz. That is the point of this round, is for the judges to see your interpretation of a dump. I think you're all more than capable of coming up with something wonderful for this round!

After reading through the comments, it makes me wonder how often you guys shop at Goodwill or secondhand stores. XP I dunno. As a teenager, I was all about some Goodwill/DAV/vintage stores. Most of those places don't take clothes that are too ragged, and for the most part, the clothes don't look as bad as you'd expect. I think maybe some people expected this to be a 'vintage' challenge, when I looked at it as a Goodwill challenge. Most Goodwill clothes are modern and simplistic. It'd be relatively easy to slap something together that looks relatively fashionable at Goodwill. It's just a matter of digging around.

The next challenge should prove to be interesting. I have NO idea what to do. T_T
Seiki, why are these challenges so random? :lol:

Yes, we had a discussion about how awesome things can be found at resale shops. But if you make it into what you can ACTUALLY find at a resale shop, then there's no challenge. It's just "make a cute outfit." So we said that it had to be what people perceive goodwill to have. Ugly, old, terribly out of fashion grandma type things.

And the challenges aren't random. All of them have been "green"/environmentally inspired.
EDIT: Oops, someone already mentioned that last thing.

Here's one outfit I'm playing with, experimenting with the idea of crushed and thrown out metalics:

Aw, really good idea Cami!

You've used the same colours (well two of) as my dump-boy!

It's really nice, I'm not sure about the wing-thingys... but ya might needa ask someone else, I'm not great at ratings...

Here's my attempt, I'm trying my hardest NOT to use brown... again :sweat:.

1st, which is better?
and 2nd does it fit the theme?
It was the bandages, patches and the stitching on the front of the top that made me think it does fit :-S

:)

Cami 01-23-2009 07:12 PM

I guess you ran out of items. I feel like you need both the sash and the belt, because they both seem to stand out odd alone. Also, the vest doesn't really match the pants. I like the colors you're using though, and I like the use of the sash, like a piece of trash that's caught on something and blowing in the wind.

Kultura 01-23-2009 07:20 PM

Does it not match?
I'm using a laptop, instead of my usual desktop and the colours aren't right.

Aha. If I squint I can see it ..

I'm gonna see if i can find more inspiration. <3

Paprika 01-23-2009 09:29 PM

Interesting contest, glad I'm not in this round as i seem to be totally off entirely. :/

slowtrain 01-24-2009 12:08 AM

hmm... I was playing on mac for the challenge yesterday and wanted to use that sash... now I feel like I can't use it... :/

Rylynne 01-24-2009 04:03 AM

Wow, I'm so late in seeing the scores. xDD;;

Congratulations, Sizzla! =D <3
And wow, it seemed the judges weren't in agreement this round, as people have mentioned. =O I guess that's why we have more than one judge then, so that all sides can be considered. :3

And what an interesting challenge. @[email protected] Imma see if I can whip something up right now, or after I eat lunch. xDD;;

Cora 01-24-2009 05:20 AM

and here is todays try.......better then yesterdays I think

Kiari 01-24-2009 05:55 AM

i like that one better cora than the last 2, but I don't think the cloak really fits with the dumpy feel. That is more green and natural.

Cora 01-24-2009 06:01 AM

I kind of thought of the earth being ripped up and the dump underneath which is typical ....but yeah....hmmm....I'll see what It looks like without.

Kultura 01-24-2009 11:33 AM

Cora, your 1st idea, the layering was so so clever, I like it alot! You should use it as an actual avatar :lol:
I agree with Kiari on the cloak... Besides, it adds green into the avatar, and you have no other green in it to match :-S

*opens MAC to try again*

EDIT

*failed at not using brown again*

Here's three more ideas. I like these a lot more xD
But I don't know which is best..?
Each has 11 items :) except the last, which has 12

Cora 01-24-2009 04:48 PM

well heres my newest plays....I dont know that the blue looks very Dumpish though

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...cat/dumpy6.jpg

Seiki Nova 01-24-2009 05:05 PM

I did change the item limit from 12 to 15 for you guys, just in case you missed that.

Cora 01-24-2009 05:07 PM

oh yeah....forgot about that.....but a couple of them have less then 12 anyways.

This challenge is challenging

Kultura 01-24-2009 05:15 PM

Cora, I like the one with the blue the most, it adds a little more colour, and when you think of all the different coloured packets of different things that be thrown away, there would be scattered colour in a dump :)

I'm not sure mines is dumpy enough, but I like it :)

Cora 01-24-2009 05:21 PM

I think its pretty ^.^

Challenging challenge is challenging.



EDIT: Ohhhhhhh, crap, "challenge" doesn't even sound like a word anymore. ><

Kultura 01-24-2009 08:45 PM

It could be a testing task?

Cherry Who? 01-24-2009 08:59 PM

If a quiz is quizzical, what is a test?

Kultura 01-24-2009 08:59 PM

Testing?

Bahaha. I gettit.
:lol:


MurasakiCrown 01-25-2009 02:32 AM

I remember that question. The first time I heard it I was almost too young. Young enough to get it and still be very disturbed by it. Now I just laugh XD

Cherry Who? 01-25-2009 05:06 AM

The first time I heard it I was like "testi...c... OH." xDD
Well, in my head. Since I read it. But still. xD
