Alrighty, the Round 1 is closed, and I'll get to judging. My goal is to announce the winner every Sunday night. :yes:

Round 2's challenge photo has been added. :D

Alright, sounds good Sizz! I can't wait to see who wins this week! X3;

*goes off to look at round two's challenge*

Sweet, I'll get started on my next entry. :eager:
I love this contest--it's so simple and straighforward (but in a really, really good way!)

And it's already helped me expand my inventory. x)

I Know I'm Inspired!
Name: Facade
Image of Entry:
Explanation: Just a society dame, donning her powdered wig and on her way to a garden party. :lol:

I'm glad you guys are enjoying this. :D I hope to make it a long-running thing. :yes:

Sounds awesome, Sizz!

And for as long as this contest is open, I'll do my best to produce an entry every round! X3

This seems like a lot of fun! I will try to come up with an entry. ^^

Seems I really did miss the last deadline. D:
Oh well, I wanna see if I can try for this one now! :'> <3<3

I DO love this contest. :D I love avatar contests, and since this one is based on a source of visual inspiration (and is STILL ambiguous enough to not make us all dress up as, say, pirates or what have you), it makes it all the more low-stress. :lol:

And I wanted to participate for the first round, but I kinda became sidetracked. :cry: I'll try my best to be in the majority of the rounds, though!

I'm definitely going to be in all the rounds until school starts up for me. x)
This has been the more boring and miserable summer of my life. Xb

(But it's been relaxing, at least).

Siri, you have such interesting hair! xDD;; <3<3

Awesome Ari. :D I'll look forward to your entries!


Please do Mystic! The more, the merrier! :D


*prods Ry to actually enter this time* You can do it lady!


:lol: Facade, your avatars consistently make me laugh. I like that. XD Your current is just so... random. XP


Why's your summer been so awful Siri? That's no good. :(

----------

Okay, judging this contest is going to be really hard. I have several avatars I like, and for different reasons. XP I'll probably be giving runner-up prizes as well most weeks. :sweat: I fail at making decisions sometimes.

Oh i think i may have an ideal for this next one. just gotta get past tomorrow and then i can change my avi

Sizzla, what is that item your avatar is holding? (The brown jug-shaped one)

It's a jug of booze from the event. Mr. Mayor gave it to me...

<3 I am so excited for this contest.... I already have another one in mind for the next entry!!

I Know I'm Inspired!
Name: Woodlandnymph
Image of Entry:
Explanation: A faery, blending in with the flowers on a warm summer afternoon. If you wait patiently and watch a patch of daises closely, you very well may see her moving about :3

Ohh another avi contest, cool ^^

I just have to say that I love the idea for this contest. It shows everyone how much you can do with the menewshan avatars and items. I love inspiration!

@Sizzla: Thanks for letting me know. I was wondering where the new item came from... and I can't believe I missed all the booze! I'm usually really good about chatting with Mr. Mayor during events too. D:

Also, sorry that I didn't respond to you earlier, but I just popped onto Mene for a few minutes earlier today, so I didn't have time. But my summer has been horrible because I'm so bored and I've got way too much time on my hands. I'm the type of person that needs to be busy all the time. Usually I'm a full time student and working part-time and during the summer breaks, I've been working full-time and taking summer classes. This year, I'm not working or going to school at ALL and it's driving me insane.

I shall try, Sizz, I shall try~ xDD;; <3<3

I still can't use the DAC *sad*
I really would like to enter this contest, I just don't have a lot of items to work with.

Oh goodness, this was tough! :sweat:

In the end, this time it came down to how similar your avatar felt to the photograph I chose. When I saw that image, I was instantly taken by the colors -- blues and purples are some of my favorite colors. Visually, this image drew me to it. I wanted the same to happen with the winning avatar this week, and I will say that our winner this week popped out to me as soon as it was entered. :yes:

So, who will it be???




Divine_lil_Brat, you win this week! Congrats! :XD



I love the way you flipped the image on its side in your entry and literally tried to replicate the image. I love the use of the stripes as the tree trunks, and the gradient fade is really well done. :yes: I think out of all the entries, you did the best job visually replicating the image. The only thing I don't like is the wadjet makeup. I've never been a fan of it, because of the undereye mark. Still, that didn't detract too much from the avatar. Congrats!


I do, however, have some honorable mentions. You each will receive 200g as a bit of a consolation prize. :D
Cami: I think this avatar does a nice job of replicating the colors and lines of the inspiration photograph. It also has an eerie quality to it, like the image has. :yes: The only thing that I am not a fan of is the light blue streakage going on in the hair. I would like to have seen that a more vibrant blue, if it's possible. Nice work!
Cicadetta: I think this is a really beautiful avatar, and I love that you used that dark purple shade that only is used during CP. XP

Siri: I absolutely adore this avatar, but sadly it doesn't remind me of the inspiration photograph from this week. :sweat: It's really well done, however, so I'm awarding you an honorable mention. XD I like that you've incorporated old and new items in a unique way. This avatar is very pleasing to the eye. :D



I'll send prizes out shortly. :D I look forward to seeing everyone's entries for the next round!

Those were some really wonderful entries. The others were too. I would have had a hard time with that too. :3

Really interested in what Round Two will do. May even enter this time. x3

I think I might give this a go.

Congratulations, Divine_lil_brat! x)
You definitely deserved to win~

And thank you for the consolation prize, Sizzla.
I'm really happy to have gotten an honorable mention. x3

*goes off to work on this weeks entry*
