~Sylestia's Next Top Designer (Cycle 2)~
"The Next Level"
ROUND ONE Welcome one and all to Cycle 3 of my big design competition! I'm so excited to see what this next season brings and I can't wait to see what kind of awesome designs the contestants come up with!
There is going to be a decent amount to read and I encourage ALL of the contestants to read through very carefully. This contest is going to be a bit more complex than the usual contests in this forum and I want everyone to have a fair and fun time. The prize packages will be in the post below, so if you read this before I have those posted just give me a few minutes. Trust me, it's worth the wait to see what you're playing for. :)
The rules are very simple but they should be read thoroughly. There will not be any "secret words" since the contestants won't be posting their designs here, so PLEASE take your time and through all of them. The rules are also going to detail how the contest and the eliminations are going to work.
Contestants, please read through all the rules.
RULES
1.) Always the most important rule, please be nice to each other. Like I said, for the most part the contestants won't be posting much, but the rule still stands. No fighting, bashing, harassing, and just generally being mean to each other. Contestants who do so will be warned once and disqualified if it happens again.
2.) There will be a total of 8 (or 9) rounds to this competition. There will be approximately 3-4 people eliminated each round for Rounds 1-6 (or7). These eliminations will be based off of the voting rounds. The two designs with the least amount of votes will be eliminated. In the event of a tie, a 24 hour Sudden Death vote will be started, and the two designs in a tie will be voted on by the public again.
3.) There will be a WILDCARD ROUND before the FINAL ROUND. This means that every contestant who was eliminated before will be given the chance to return to the competition for the FINAL ROUND. The eliminated contestants will be given their own theme and the ONE person who gets the most votes will be reinstated to the competition and given another chance at competing for a Prize Package.
4.) Unless otherwise stated in the theme explanation, you are required to design for both the male and female of whatever species you are using for the theme. This means that whatever design you use must be shown on both the male and female, so design accordingly.
5.) CONTESTANTS: Do NOT post your designs in this forum, or say anything about what you're going to base your design off of. This is VERY important, because the voting rounds are meant to be "blind votes". This means that the public are not going to know which contestant made which design when they vote. When you complete your design you need to Private Message them to me. I will then save the images to my Photobucket under your username so that there is no confusion when I post them for the voting round, and your designs do not get lost.
6.) If you, as a contestant, break Rule #5 and post your design in this thread, you will be asked to drastically redo your design. This is the only way to keep things fair for everyone. I'm not going to penalize anyone more harshly than that, since I don't see anyone breaking this rule except by accident.
7.) First of all PLEASE SAVE YOUR DESIGNS. That way if there is an issue the first time you send them to me you don't lose all your work. What I want everyone to do is to send me the URL for the very big preview. You get this big preview by clicking on the smaller thumbnail of the Sylesti on the sidebar of the generator. When you copy and paste to me in a message it should look like this...
Now, you can send this to me, and that will be fine, I can resize it slightly in Photobucket without distorting it because its big to begin with. What I would LIKE everyone to do is to add &size=300 to the end of the code above. So it would look like this.
If anyone has any questions you are, of course, free to ask. :)
8.) HAVE FUN! Yes, this is a rule. I made this contest to be fun and challenging. I am SUPER excited to see everyone's designs and creativity. This is your chance to push your design skills further than you've ever pushed them. Do research, think carefully about your design before hitting the generator, try multiple designs before choosing, do whatever you have to do to make your design the best you can. I know you're all capable of greatness. :)
Now for the fun part...this week's theme IS...
Free Design
Alright, we are going to kick this contest off a little differently than any other round. For this round you will be making THREE separate designs. These design can use any species you like, any combination of traits and colors. You are going to show everyone examples of your best designing abilities. While all design choices ARE completely up to you, I stress the fact that your end goal is to garnish votes from the public. I don't say this to entirely effect the way you may choose to design, merely because it will be important to keep in mind while planning which three of your designs you choose to display.
There is ONE twist, however. One of your three designs MUST make use the Favorite and Least Favorite colors you provided me when you signed up. You may use one other color to accent your design but I would prefer you kept it to just one accent color. If you said something basic like "blue" you may use up to two shades of the color but no more. If you have ANY questions at all you are totally free to PM me and ask if something is acceptable or not.
Also, if you have any questions about the instructions in general please don't hesitate to ask.
ALL DESIGNS MUST BE ENTERED BY: Sunday, November 20th at 10:00PM Sylestia Time

Alright, pinging everyone because I've gotten several PMs asking for clarification about the round theme instructions...
You will be making THREE designs.
TWO of those designs can be whatever you choose. Any species, any number of traits, any color.
ONE of those designs must use the Favorite and Least Favorite colors you put down in your sign up form. Since it can be hard to make a design using only two colors you may use ONE accent color to help make your design more dynamic but the main part of the design MUST be the two other colors. Other than that the design can be any species and use any number of traits.
I hope this helps everyone.

Any traits including restricted traits may be used. Probably best not to use an entire set of restricted traits, however.
