Your Hosts:
http://www.menewsha.com/img/81884/ac...8494944a6d.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, 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/74343/b7...6db7a9d4f8.png 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/81884/4e...92b5205e04.png 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 |
Shipwrecked Colors Contest
So for this contest we decided to give you all a little bit more freedom [yes] You have to make an avatar with the colors blue and yellow buuuut you have to add a third color of your choosing. Any shade of blue is acceptable but for teal (unless that is your third color) and please no creams or off-whites in place of yellow as well as no silvers or golds (unless one of them is your third color). Some white and black will be acceptable but in very small increments, people! Don't abuse my leniency [illgetu] Use it as an accent and nothing more... unless one is going to be your third color [;)] Any skin tone is fine but if you decide to use an equippable skin please keep it within the color scheme. That goes for hair and eyes as well, please and thank you! And that's all there is to it this time around, so I hope you all show me something amazing. Find a wow factor and victory could be yours for the taking!! Good luck and feel free to ask questions should they arise [yes] Shipwrecked Colors Entry Form Username: Image of My Entry: Quote:

Jungle Creatures Contest
A jungle is a habitat known for it's colorful array of life! You can't help but to image some kind of creature among the bright and fruitful vegetation of a jungle, whether you think of a leopard, or a snake, or even a beetle! For this contest, I'm challenging you to create the exotic animal you see! You can represent any animal from any category: mammal, reptile, bird, amphibian, fish, or insect. So make me awe, or make me shriek! The choice is up to you! I only ask for a few things: 1. Your entry must be based from a real EXOTIC animal; try to resemble the animal as closely as possible. 2. You must post 1 to 2 reference photographs of this animal. I must be able to see it's body and head clearly. 3. No portraying household pets! I will allow exotic birds, but I don't want people entering as their domestic cat! 4. No animal companion items! I will allow noses, ears and such, but no animal companions. The avatar is the animal itself! 5. Post a fact about the animal! I love learning new things! Especially about animals! Just post a sentence, or even a link to an informational site! (**Fun Facts have no bearing on your overall entry...it's just something for fun!) Jungle Creatures Entry Form Username: Image of My Entry: Reference Image: Fun Fact: Quote:

Casting for a Castaway!
WOW, that is one OLD TV show! We here on Menewsha have decided it's time to update that show, Menewshastyle! So here is your challenge. You are casting for the next remake of Gilligan's Island. BUT, instead of 7 castaways, you decide you want 8! Who will be your shiny new 8th character in this iconic show? How will they try to help the other castaways escape the island? Please include a short paragraph describing your 8th castaway and how they try to help the other castaways escape the island. Remember a paragraph is a minimum of 3 sentences. Most importantly...What is their name? After all, everyone knows Ginger, Mary Ann, Gilligan, The Skipper, The Professor, Mr & Mrs. Howell! Your character will have to be just as iconic as they are to fit in! Casting for a Castaway! Entry Form Username: Image of My Entry: My Castaway's Name: Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island: Quote:
Username:maidenroseheart Image of My Entry:http://i.imgur.com/iFTZCDe.png My Castaway's Name: Agent Smith Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island: In this delightful group, you have characters from all socioeconomic levels and from every type of job. Every job that is, except a government job. Have you ever wondered why their plans to escape the island have always failed? That's right! A government conspiracy! My guy does not help them get off the island at all! She is assisting in a government experiment and that means they must stay put! *evil laughter*[COLOR="lightseagreen"] Username: EirianHikari Image of My Entry: http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7cea8263.png My Castaway's Name: Bridget Monroe Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island: Bridget Monroe is a wilderness guide who was was ashore on the island when she was headed to the rain forest to lead a vacation exploration. She soon befriended the other castaways and likes to help out with hunting, fishing, and gathering plants, since she has vast knowledge in survival, she is quite in her element on the island. Bridget is tough, brave, but has a kind heart, she is also quite witty, charming, and intelligent, but seems to have little interest in the Professor's scientific comments. It has been lightly implied that Bridget may have a crush on the Professor though. Like when they were gathering oranges and Bridget suddenly tossed one at him. He just stared at it a minute, and Bridget looked at him and said kind of playfully"I could show you how to peel it." The Professor responded clueless, "Oh, I know how to peel it" and Bridget just went back to what she was doing, glancing over at him a brief second. Username:Ted D Ber Image of My Entry:http://i.imgur.com/Y4zsc2i.png My Castaway's Name: Romana Torres Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island:Romana was an engineer on the ship before it crashed, and now shes left stranded with 7 other castaways. She makes all sorts of crazy inventions that usually fail to try and help them get off the island. Now that we're bring the show to a new generation we decided to add her as a lesbian character to give the show that modern edge, but to keep the classic feel we're still shooting the show entirely in black and white. Username:GwenaHikari Image of My Entry:http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/u...psa41a6741.png My Castaway's Name:Sienna Carrington Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island: Sienna was an out of work model, looking to forget about her latest break up, her friends encouraged her to take a vacation, as a result she ended up on the ill-fated "3 hour tour" with the other castaways. "It'll be fun!" her friends had told her, uh yeah if being stranded for life is your idea of fun! Though their fate seems questionable, Sienna, hasn't given up and doesn't waste a lick of time coming up with an escape plan, she may be a model but she's got brains and street smarts. Armed with her trusty lipstick and her butt smacking purse, sienna intends to use her looks to attract everything and anything she can to the island, so she can get off it, even if that anything is a passing dolphin. And if that doesn't work, there's always the old note in a bottle trick, with a note saying "help I'm trapped on an island full of treasure", because if looks won't bring em, greed will! Username: Nephila Image of My Entry:http://i43.tinypic.com/2jg72c8.png My Castaway's Name: No one really know for sure they've taken to calling her Cannibal Chrissy Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island: She was shipwrecked an unknown amount of years before the rest of them. She was only a little girl when she first made it to the island. Wearing a long white night gown that became ragged and dirty over the years. She was only able to be use it as a wrap around skirt. She's about 20 and has a wild sex appeal. The "tattoos" are actually ashes she smudges on herself. No real reason behind them other than when she was a child their was no one around to tell her not to write on herself. I suppose its what would be a pass time on an island. She also cut off her blond hair to put on her dolly. Which is her last connection to humanity. She doesn't speak much in the brief times they encounter her. She tries to help them off the Island by attempting to eat them. Username: dragoness129 Image of My Entry: http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...psc66b877b.png My Castaway's Name: Iyme Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island: This islander has no last name. She was never given one. She thinks she has been on this island forever because she cannot remember a time of ever being somewhere else. She has survived on this island for many years before Gilligan and his crew became shipwrecked, including making some daggers from rocks. She wants her island back to herself, so she wants to "help" the crew leave and way she can. -Iyme licks her daggers- Username: Woodlandnymph Image of My Entry: http://i1161.photobucket.com/albums/...psc80df7d3.png My Castaway's Name: The Assistant Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island: Just sit right back, and you'll hear a tale....about the girl who just wanted to get her 4 university credits and get a good recommendation from her professor. Her professor? Oh yes, you mean THE Professor. Didn't think he worked alone, did yah? Little did Jane know when she joined the Professor on his three hour tour that she'd end up shelling coconuts to help him jerry-rig radios and that every other Wednesday night Mary-Ann and Ginger would cram her into a hula skirt for another silly dance competition. *Sigh* At least she brought along a book or two so she can find a nice hideaway when she's not helping build another raft. Username: Velvet Image of My Entry:http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...ps55297d38.png My Castaway's Name: Jillian Pepper Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island: Not many know of Gilligan's twin sister, Jillian. But she was there, she was boarded on the S.S Minnow below deck. Gilligan actually hid her behind some boxes and planned on sneaking her back off the boat when they arrived at their destination. Plans were changed when the ship crashed on the island. The others discovered Gilligan had a sister, a twin sister soon after. Jillian explained that she had no where to go and had never been on a boat before.. She ends up being just like Gilligan too. Bumbly, sloppy, butterfingered, and without any sort of grace. She trips over everything, manages to break much needed furnishings, and she even burned down their makeshift beach houses once forcing the group to recreate each of their houses again. How does she help them all get off the island? Simple. She doesn't. Just like Gilligan, she manages to blow every chance they get to leave the island. And she has an obsession with a map she found on the island.. Username:~Longcat~ Image of My Entry:http://i.imgur.com/QnxUPHc.png My Castaway's Name: Snooki Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island: Signing up for what she thought was the next big thing after Jersey Shore, that also totally involved beaches, she found herself stranded on a tropical island (score!). The other castaways now have to deal with her hard partying and heavy boozing, because she's not helping them leave anytime soon... Username:star2000shadow Image of My Entry:http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/4089/y31s.png My Castaway's Name:Bridget Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island: Bridget was on the Island before the Castaway's. in fact when they showed up she was ecstatic, thinking FINALLY she'd been rescued. she was pretty crestfallen to find out that no, they where stuck there with her. She helped them build their huts, taught them what food was safe and what wasn't. showed them where fresh water sources where. and regaled them with stories she'd made up. she even ended up having a crush on, of all people, Gilligan, much to the bemusement of the rest of the castaway's. Username: Rochiel Silverfire Image of My Entry: http://i43.tinypic.com/ncipgl.jpg My Castaway's Name: Summer Howell Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island: Summer is the 10-year-old daughter of Mister and Missus Howell. Though she was raised by nannies and rich parents, this little lady is quite the tomboy! Summer loves playing outside and making new discoveries. She knows all sorts of random facts about plants and animals that would help the castaways survive and thrive on the island until they could find a way off. And maybe, just maybe, a kid like her will think of a way off the island that none of the grownups could ever come up with! Username: Seito Image of My Entry: http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...psa6f80b56.png My Castaway's Name: Tom Robinson the Boy Scout Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island: Always be prepared! That's the boy scout motto. Tom never thought that right after he got his Eagle Rank (the highest rank a Boy Scout can obtain) he would end up shipwrecked on this island! It's good thing he got his Wilderness Survival Merit Badge. In no time he had a shelter built, a fire started and caught some fish. With his Wood Work Merit Badge, building a raft shouldn't be too hard. Or at the very least he could help repair their broken ship. Tom held the record for most merit badges in his troops, many which helped on the island. Now if only he could the adults to accept this and stop treating him like a kid... Username: blueblackrose Image of My Entry: http://www.menewsha.com/forum/pictur...ictureid=56296 My Castaway's Name: Wira Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island: For as long as Wira can remember he has lived on this island. Not receiving many visitors than other natives from nearby islands. Oh what a surprise it was when Gilligan and the others arrived on his island. What a curious sight they were. For a while he was in the background just observing the newcomers. They gave him a good laugh. Little by little he let his presence be known to Gilligan and the others and developed a crush on Mary Ann. Most of his attempts to become friends with Mary Ann usually end up with her running away or the others chasing him away. Even with this strange relationship that he develops with the castaways he does manage to save them quite a bit. Then again maybe he is the reason they have never managed to get off the island.[COLOR="lightseagreen"] Username: fireprincess Image of My Entry:http://i43.tinypic.com/2eowc4j.jpg My Castaway's Name: Juliet Tell us about the 8th Castaway and how they help the castaways try to escape the island: Sure they told the story of the other castaways...but what about me? I am the cook after all. I take care of them and make sure they don't go hungry. I mean without me, could they really survive? All I wanted was to go to a tropical island for a quick get away....not a stay away! |

Interesting avatar maiden.

@Linnea
Now my 3rd color might be brown..Would a.. i think its cream with a tan item be alright? |
@ Linnea - With the basic items, they are listed as silver, but they appear more grey, like the stones I am using. Would they be considered the same since their tones are the same, or would they be counted as two different colors?

I had an awesome idea for an animal avatar, but alas the new CI doesn't have black ears. ;_;

Never mind about my question :3
