Hiya, folks! Thank you for considering entering the avatar contest for this Valentine's Day mini-event. We have three categories for you, each requiring different levels of consideration/patience/time.. See each post for details. :)



Just a few "rules" to get out of the way before we get started:
  • Please save and host your entries using a reliable image host such as IMGUR.
  • You are welcome to use the Dream Avatar Creator (DAC) for your entries, but please don't edit your image file. Working within the confines of what's available is part of the challenge. (Yes, that means you're stuck with that ugly shin-bar if you use the DAC.)
  • Uh.. Guess that's it. Please holler if you need help with anything. ;D

Prizes:
TBA. ASAP. BRB.

Category 1: Valentine Colors




Make me an avatar using Red, a shade of Pink, and an additional accent color of your choice.


Notes:
  • Colors of equipped hair, skin, eyes, and other custom facial features/makeup will count against this limit, but natural colors (e.g. what you can do in the Avatar panel) won't.
  • Choose a shade of pink and stick with it. Minor variations will probably pass, but if you give me an avatar with two very different pinks (Order and Cerise, for example), one of those will have to count as your accent color.
  • You may submit two color entries per person.

Hint: White would be the obvious choice for a third color & won't be rejected, but daring alternatives are likely to be appreciated more. ;)

Category 2: Functional to Fabulous




This one's a bit of a challenge -- you'll need to really use your imagination! Here is the scenario:

Tonight's the big Valentine's Day dance and you're definitely going! The only trouble is, you have to work right up until it starts and won't have time to go home and change first. The only outfit changes you can make involve the three items you were able to stuff into your backpack.

To show this transformation, you'll need to submit:
  1. Your work avatar. (How your avatar dresses for their "job.")
  2. Your altered "dance" avatar. This will be your work avatar plus and minus three equips. (This means you must remove three equips, and then add three different equips to achieve your new look.)

Notes:
  • You may freely change your hairstyle (but not color - no time for a dye job!) and facial expression between entries using the Avatar Panel only; any equippables will count against your three item limit, though. (Ex: if you have custom work eyes and remove them, it counts as a removed item.)
  • Only one entry per person for this category.

Example:
Quote:
Functional to Fabulous!
I work as a waitress at a drive-in diner.
My work uniform:

But I still know how to party!

My V-Day dance outfit:

How I did it: I left the meatballs, blue summer skirt and rollerskate wheels behind, and put on a phoebe jacket, red space pants and a black school skirt!




Good luck! :)

I was tempted to just keep a whole bunch of stuff under my skirt, and then be like "ha! I was wearing this the whole time!" but I thought that would be cheating, even if it does make for a great mental image.

How I did it: That frumpy girl that sits in the corner, doesn't talk much, always pushing up her too-large glasses and sniffling like she has a constant cold... You wouldn't believe that she's got a wild side. Ditching her sweater and pencil skirt and trading one wool scarf for a dancing scarf, she completes the look by adding her tattoo (fake, of course, she can't get too wild) and her accentuating belt.

Category 3: Bonded by Love - Group Cosplay



Fiction has presented us with countless examples of potent love bonds: there's true love, tragic love, parental love, the bond between sisters, a friendly bromance.. the list goes on and on.

For this category, I want you and a partner or partners to cosplay well-known fictional examples of love bonds. The characters you choose are pretty much up to you - the love needn't be romantic, but it should be something significant and memorable!



Notes:
  • This is a cosplay category - as such, you are pulling from existing fictional characters. Delving into the obscure is okay, but I won't be able to judge your personal OCs against known, established characters.
  • This is a group category - as such, there must be at least two distinct users per entry. If you need a partner, feel free to post here that you're looking for groupmates.
  • You may participate in two group entries per person. (That is, a person can join and be part of two different group entries. Only one person in the group needs to actually submit the entry - all usernames will be included in the entry form.)
  • I will allow "based on a true story" characters that have had creative renditions (example: Titanic, Robin Hood, etc).

Hint: Be creative, but try not to be too far-fetched re: matchups that exist mainly in your mind. If I see Castiel plus some random gas station attendant the significance is probably gonna be lost on me unless accompanied by some very convincing testimony. :)

With the promise of a prettily wrapped gift, the Queen of Hearts, despite her jealousy and hatred towards her sister, agreed to attend in an attempt to reconcile and she was very happy that she did. Both were accompanied by a Red Card and Black Card as they made an attempt at reconciliation, the bonds of sisterhood too strong to break as the years of hatred and fighting melted away.

And so began a night of celebrating a reconnected bond of love, while also building on newly forged friendships with everyone else at the party!

Alice chuckled at seeing the Mad Hatter having a conversation with two plastic flamingo decorations as she looked around the party. Soon, she found and hugged the White Rabbit, who had accidentally introduced her to Wonderland in the first place! They began to chat when they were interrupted by none other than the Cheshire Cat. The Cheshire Cat was still up to her old tricks, going around painting the roses white, thus undoing all of the Card Soldiers' hard work! You can see a video of their "painting the roses red" in attempt to help Alice prepare for the Queen of Hearts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfmAzoILaK8

After all, when you're throwing a party to bring two sisters together, and to establish your own happy bonds, you don't want the Queen ordering her Cards to chop off your head!

Overall, the party was believed to be a grand success, and Alice was able to reunite the sisters and build a friendship that would last for eternity.

Do you mind telling me precisely where those meatballs were left behind? And would Sweet Baby Ray's or Ragu go best with these meatballs?
