You guys, this is still an avatar contest DX

I have the scores up. No new round yet though. I'm sorry DX

No problem, Seiki~ We're patient people. 8DD;;

And hmm, guess no one saw my little note about my picture not being an actual representation. ^^;; It was the closest I could find to a reference piccie, since I based mine on an idea rather than a picture. Ah wells, no problem though~ =P <3

I saw that. :)

Yay! At least someone saw it~ xDD;; <3<3

And oh! Is that a necklace on your avatar or one of the new shirts with the tiny pink heart on the center? ^^;; Out of curiosity~ 8DD;; <3

It's the pink temptress necklace.

My avatar keeps making me smile. xD She's a little girl playing dress up.

OMG, I was thinking the same thing when I saw your avi! =P Makes me remember my days dressing up... xDD;; Funny thing is, I did have a dress in that color before. The cut was different, but it was as frilly and stuff. 8DD;;

I wish I had a heart buddy stuffed toy though or something. :< I only had normal bears and animals. ^^;;

xD Cherry's avvie is cute in that manner. xD I saw it earlier when I was lurking and it reminded me of a little girl. xD

Yay, it was obvious! I think it's the stockings and shoes that really give it away. I wanted to do something with the dress and then I just slapped on the stockings to see how it'd look and it reminded me of a little girl. So I had to give her some sneakers. xD

I probably had a heart-shaped thing. The amount of plushies I had was absolutely ridiculous. It was far too many, really. It kept me from being able to appreciate all the ones I had. I'm still like that, but with other things. I'm trying to get past it, though. I'm discovering that getting rid of things that you don't really use much or like very much helps you appreciate what you have a ton more. If only I'd known that as a child... then I wouldn't have an attic full of plushies that I've no clue what to do with! >< I'm probably going to donate all the ones that are in good shape and that I can part with. Some have are sentimental though, of course.

Oh! Hihi Winter~ :3

And I know what you mean about a plushie overload. D: I used to collect them, actually. Especially the Beanie Babies and others. I definitely had at least 50 stuffed toys. @[email protected];; Some I already gave away though to younger cousins and/or orphanages, or during donation drives. =) I needed to clear space anyway. xDD;; I still have the most important ones though, and the special/limited edition ones. =P Those can make me money someday. 8DDD;;

And at least you learned though? :> I don't even think kids nowadays know how to appreciate everything in life just yet though. ^^;; There are those that do though, and they are so adorable. =P <3<3

Yeah, I really want to donate a lot of them, I just don't know where to do it. I don't want them to be resold for 15 cents at a resale shop, I want them to go to little kids who need it. Maybe the salvation army. But they might sell some... >>
Oh yeah, I had tons of Beanie Babies too. I'm not donating those ones. xD I'll sell them eventually.
It's hard for me to get rid of stuffed animals... they're so cute. But I don't need them. I've already got a few placed around my room. There isn't room for any more. So I just have to remember to keep only the special ones. The ones that were my favorites or otherwise have a special meaning.
One of my most-loved ones is a pikachu. He went everywhere with me for a few years. He's definitely seen better days. He's a little grayish. xDD

Maybe there are some charity events or something there? =O I'm sure there is. ^^ <3

And a gray Pikachu? o_O;; That I gotta see. xDD;; Is he still in one piece though? My favorite before was a raccoon stuffed toy, and it's missing its nose, a hand, a foot, its tongue, and an eye. @[email protected];; I have no idea why though. D: I don't remember battering it... >.>;;

XD I'm not sure I had a sentiment as much as a joke, but thanks guys.

Oooh. o.o I won a round. This is how I will introduce myself in the future.

Hey, my name's Cami, and I won a round of Project Mene. :3nod: I'll bring it up in job interviews.

XD Cherry, your avatar is adorable. I didn't actually look at it until after I'd already read your explanation of it, but I think I would have gotten that anyway.

Ryl - None that I'm aware of, but I may be able to find some if I looked. Otherwise, I'll just drop them off at the salvation army. I just want them out of the house, really. I know they donate a lot of the things that they're given.

Well, Pika's not totally gray. He's still yellow. Just not so yellow. xD Pretty dirty...


Cami - Thanks! I find that having this avatar is making me talk in a slightly more immature way, though... It's not noticeable to anyone but me, I think, but she's affecting me. But she's just too damn cute to change! xD

That's nice then~ :3 <3

And lolz. xDD;; You take care of your stuffed toys then. ^^;; My ultimate favorites are not in very good shape... >.>;; Except for those I was aware that I had to be very careful with. xDD;;

ooo scores ^^

thanks for the feedback :)
I know I could have chosen a more colourful can, but Diet Coke and Coke are the only soft drinks I really drink... occasionally Sprite, but I couldn't make a Sprite avatar work D:

Lol, glad no one made fun of me for the flow joke. xD

Boo, rike doesn't like her outfit. I couldn't figure out what to put under the chaos skirt thing. Theres no decent yellow/white skirts that will fit under there...or gray D: *Wants something that doesn't go to the knees*

-rika-The school girl skirt?

*Cora should just give up.....she used to be so sure of her avi creating skills....but she falls at the bottom at least every time......at least one person understood where the bees where coming from....I did explain them in the thread but I dont think many people got them......maybe I should have submitted my coke can entry....*sighs*

School girl skirt? o_O

@ Cora : You shouldn't give up! =O I mean, we're all here to not only compete, but to also improve our avatar making skills and to learn from the challenges.

Like, as I mentioned earlier, I'm not sure if people saw my note about my picture not being an actual representation of my avatar, because my avatar was based on the idea of a paint can and not from the picture. I just needed a picture, and that was the best I saw on Google. =\

It's kind of the same thing? But I'm just taking the possible confusion (not that there's definitely one, but there could be~ =P) as a way of telling myself that my concept should have been clearer in showing what I wanted, without extra descriptions and reference images and stuff.

So, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and even though ratings may be harsh on you, it's giving you a new perspective on the avatars you make, I hope. :3 Try to stay positive~ =) <3

@ Paprika : Is your favorite color yellow, by any chance? 8DD;; Out of curiosity~ =P <3

I knew why the bees where there. I just didn't comment on them.

@cherry- I was more refereing to the few who made comments that the bees where totally akward and out of place

No my favorite color is blue. o:

Well since i was one of those people, want to tell me? Since there as a picture with the entry i didn't look for any additional comments on them as we were judging based off the picture and the ability to make it look like a workable avatar as well. Soo...yeah. o_O

Cora: Just have fun with it. <3 I know I took Seiki's comment about me needing to try to do more with layers to heart, and based on that made an outfit that I never would have made before but everyone seems to love.

@Paprika: Bees are attracted to soft drinks... if you've ever had them outside in the summertime, I'm sure they were buzzing around you. Lol, of course, maybe not recently as they're becoming quite rare. ;___;

@Cami: Congratulations on winning this round! Your other avatars were always pretty nice, but like Seiki said, a bit plain and left the judges wanting more from them. Sometimes, they work better, but I feel like you could have added things onto your first three entries to make them stand out more. So yeah, it was nice to see something different. But you won this round because you chose an original energy drink and made it work really well... it wasn't just that you did something different.

@Rika- Pixore hit the nail on the head if you read her comment. And thanks guys, I'm just alittle blah about the whole thing....I worked really hard on a couple of my outfit (minus dump outfit) and yet I've been in the bottom two every time. I'll just have to work harder I suppose, and its not really the contest itself that makes me sad but that my abilities have come to be lacking....there was a time on gaia where if I entered an avi contest I got second in the very least.....
