Round Twenty Six: Monochromatic Ice Queen
1/10/18 - 1/18/18


SPOILERX


Round Twenty Six: Monochromatic Ice Queen

FoWN may be over, but it's time to bring out your inner Ice Queen! I want you to make a frozen royal, whether that be a King/Prince, Queen/Princess, Duke/Duchess, Royal Court Jester, you decide which member of the royal court you'd like to turn down the heat on
Here's the twist though, your avatar must be mostly the same color! Slight variations are fine, but please try to keep to one shade of the color you're using.
For example, if you're using ice items, don't mix Gossamer and Black Ice. Try to use all of the same one. Have fun!

• Make a frozen royal!

• Use all the same shade: only slight variations are okay. (see example)

• Skin tone does not have to match the color you choose.

• The background may be a different color as well!

Your Entry Number: 1
Theme: Monochromatic Ice Queen
Basic Description: Camouflaging Ice Queen
Backstory (optional): From the moment you can walk, you're told a warning. Do not go into the forest; or else the Ice Queen will get you. Some say it's only legend, others swear they've caught a glimpse of her. Some are never heard from again.
The fools think they surely they would be able to see her in time to escape. But she's not an ordinary Queen. She's not even human. Made completely up of ice and magic, this clever queen disguises herself among the frozen branches as just another tree. You'll hear what sounds like falling icicles and stop to look around. It's already too late. For as you face forward to continue on to safety, you'll be nose to nose with her piecing snow white glowing eyes and instantly frozen where you stand.
Take heed of the Elders' warning; Stay out of the woods.
Round Twenty Six: Monochromatic Ice Queen

It was really tough to choose this week! I'm super impressed with all of you
Overall, I went with these three due to the most monochromatic including the outfit (to me).

The winners are......

1. Nephila!
This was such a creative story and a different take on the royal court and I can't get over the wonderful face xD

2. ghostPastry
I LOVE this color with the backgrounds you chose! It's so well put together and it's fun and interesting :D

3. star2000shadow
I really like how this could easily disappear in the background. Even the hair matches
the chosen tone. Great job star :3



Special Mentions:
I know this pretty much makes me choose everyone, but I really wanted to let you guys know what I thought about these as well




BSW: I really liked your backstory for this entry :3

Kirin: The addition of the circlet really brings everything together :3

Narcotic Dolly: I've never had two entries in one before. I tried to choose the one I like best, but I couldn't do it! They're similar but each stand out as they're own person. I love these sisters of the ice!

Round Twenty Seven: Wings Take Flight
1/18/18 - 1/28/18


SPOILERX



Round Twenty Seven: Wings Take Flight

The challenge is simple this week: Use any pair or pairs of wings! :D

Your theme/design can be anything you want as long as there's some wings going on.
That being said, I'll be keeping my eye out for unconventional ideas

Example:

Quote:
I'm Bringin' Sexy Back!
Username: R u b y
Entry Picture:
Your Entry Number: 1
Theme: Wings Take Flight
Basic Description: I'm a humanoid alpha ladybug with the power to control all other ladybugs into doing my bidding.
Backstory (optional):


Round Twenty Seven: Wings Take Flight


The winners are......

1. ghostPastry!
I love this little dragon! The use of the hawtsome items are wonderful and the doll is brilliant! Congrats! :D I loved your little flutter ghosty as well

2. BSW
Your theme was so cute and unique! I love that it's on a moon and the background is just as magical as your avatar :3

3. star2000shadow
I love the outfit you went with, simple but quite perfect for your theme. I especially love the use of the black columns with the lava and tome of nightmares castle :D

4. Narcotic Dolly
I had to add another winner just for this avatar! Overall it's a little cluttered, but the more I looked at the it the more I could appreciate how balanced everything is and that's no easy feat!
And the backstory made me giggle xD "Can you spot em? Cos she can't"


Special Mention:

Facade
Again, the overall theme is a little muddled, but I have to give it up for the amount of creativity in this entry! I can honestly say that it's something I would NEVER come up with on my own
And the use of the bows as wings was awesome!

Thanks for entering everyone!
I honestly liked all of your entries, even Kent, Kirin and Velvet <3 It was very difficult to choose

Round Twenty Eight: Chime
2/2/18 - 6/28/18


SPOILERX

Round Twenty Eight: Chime

Use as many or as few "Chime" items as you want :D Any color, any inspiration.
Entries do not have to match as much as my example

(you can search chime in the marketplace or DAC to find out what these items are :3)


Example:
Quote:

Your Entry Number (1 or 2): 1
Theme: Chime
Basic Description (What you are): a cute little school girl
Backstory (optional):
Round Twenty Eight: Chime

Wow so many entries this round! Thank you to all of those who took the time to make an avatar, old and new alike~ Also sorry to have taken this long to change the theme, with Mene's many site bugs, the DAC not working being one of them, I just wasn't that motivated to have a new contest up. On top of that, you guys made it really difficult to choose a winner! I liked so many of them! Even the ones I'd have no hope of ever drawing

The winners are......

1. star2000shadow
I went over the entries so many times and I could never quite shake how much I liked this one. It's simple, but I love the use of the chime shirt for this look. It reminds me of a member of the Scooby-Doo gang! and I'm a big time Scooby fan
Congrats Star!

2. Kent
Second is Kent! :D I really liked how many of the chime items you used as well as how you used them. It's not a typical outfit you would see with them and they're visible right away :3

3. Narcotic Dolly
I love this so much! It makes so feel so happy inside with all the pretty colors <3 Overall I didn't choose this one for first A) because I may be an artist but I'm not that good xD and B) it's quite cluttered and hard to make out all of the chime items specially. But good job! It's beautiful! :D


Special Mentions:

I think you ALL did wonderful <3 but here's some I really wanted to talk about

TaiyoTsuki

This is a cosplay of sorts but it was so cute and well done with the items we have. It was a good contender for some art, but I have a hard time with the color white x.x I have yet to figure out a good way to achieve shade/highlight for it.

Haven (Kent again)
I know Kent already has a winning avatar but I was having such a hard time choosing between these two! This is so sweet and adorable, can could you not love it? <3

ghostPastry
Last but not least, ghost! Once again stunning us with a brilliant concept <3 Your creativity never ceases to amaze me


Congrats to the winners, and to LillieRose for getting an Admin's Pick win with this entry!

and ghostPastry! Don't think I didn't notice that gif! You know I always love a gif xD
