Inspiration is Calling

Introduction
I've been thinking about starting an avatar contest for a while now and I've finally decided to do it. This contest will be ran bi-weekly to start out with. The rounds will vary. Sometimes I will give a list of colors that must be used to create your avatar, sometimes there will be an image that will hopefully inspire you, sometimes a list of items or item limit with a theme and other times there might be a song, poem or quote.

Rules
~ Create and avatar that fits the criteria for the current round.
~ You may use the DAC or your own inventory.
~ You may only enter one time per round.
~ Please upload your avatar to imgshack, tinypic or imgur.
~ Please use the form provide when submitting your entry.
