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!

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.

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
:)

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.

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

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;;

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.

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.

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, 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 :)

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
