Dressed for Desire or Destruction: Avatar Contest RESULTS!
 

:heart: Valentine's Colors Contest :heart:
In general, I thought you guys did a good job of giving me avatars that fit the color challenge. :D I will say that there were quite a few of you who had a bit too much in the way of accent colors, and not enough of the required red and pink. :yes: I know the strict color scheme is kind of limiting, but that's the challenge, right? ;) It's not supposed to be easy! You're not supposed to just enter whatever you're wearing at the time. :yes: We just want to see everyone put forth a bit of effort (and follow the rules).

However, there were quite a few unique avatars that stood out to me when I was looking over the entries, and so without further ado, here are our winners...

To start things off, we'll do the honorable mentions. Each winner will receive 500g.

Best "Faerie Princesses"
I had to give these three something, as I liked all of their avatars quite a bit. :yes: When I was looking over my list of favorites, I noticed these had a common theme, hence the title of this category. :D Honorable mentions go to these three lovely ladies, who look like faeries of lurvveee! :heart:

Creepiest Anti-Valentine
Yeeeahh, this is just creepy. XD My boyfriend liked your avatar the most — just had to tell you. XD

"I liked your avatar, but there's just too much black!"
Yeah, I made a few exceptions with overuse of accent colors, and while some of you had a bit too much of colors that weren't supposed to be featured, I liked them too much to not give you -something- for them. :D

Most Elegant Entries
I thought this avatar was simply lovely Knerd. It wasn't overdone, and you still look quite elegant, despite your short skirts in the front there. XD And Kultura, I love that you went with all pinks on this avatar. The mask gives it a mysterious feel too, like you're going to a Valentine's masquerade ball. :D Nice job ladies!

And now, for our top three!


In third place, with some VERY lovely layering and a nice use of the pink, red and white color combo, is...
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...tineColors.pngneller! Congrats! I thought you did a really fantastic job maximizing the layering system, but at the same time, it's not overdone. A lot of the time, I see nonsensical items thrown on just for layering's sake, but you did a good job restraining yourself here. :D Nice job neller!

In second place, with an avatar that is simplistic, but really says "Valentine's Colors" to me is...
http://i53.tinypic.com/2z85a91.pngRaine Dragon! Sometimes, less is more. In this case, you did a fantastic job using (mostly) pink and red. I didn't see too many entries that used very minimal accent colors, and though I can see a hint of those pants under your skirt, it's not bothersome. This is just a classic, romantic look, and I like it. :D Lovely, raine dragon!:

And :heart: Our Winner :heart:, with a totally kooky, yet Valentine's-appropriate avatar, is...
http://i52.tinypic.com/2nqsdgx.jpg*Hime*! Congrats! :XD There's just something about this outfit that draws me to it immediately, but it's something I normally wouldn't choose. :lol: I like that it's pretty out there and crazy. :lol: You did a good job reigning in the gold and white as accent colors, and overall, I just like it. Maybe I'm in a weird mood or something, but the wackier, the better sometimes. :D It's also got great layering, and Nice work *Hime*!:

Lovers or Villian's Contest

Hi everyone. I had a lot of great entries this go round! After I looked at all my entries, I decided to divide my contest into two sub contests. One contest for group entries, and one for single entries.

For the honorable mentions in the Villian single entry category, winning 500g each:

The Villian with the longest and most amusing name winner was Kah Hilzin-Ec as Katinka Ingabogovinanana http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w...anacosplay.png

CK brought back memories for me from my childhood...When online avatar websites did not exist (yes, I am THAT old) with her rendition of Carmen Sandiego.
