~Sylestia's Next Top Designer (Cycle 2)~
"The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly"
ROUND ONE Okay everyone, are you ready to have some fun! You are?! Great! Let's get going!
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. There are specific instructions on how I want you to send the images to me.
RULES
1.) Always the most important rules, 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 10 rounds to this competition. There will be two people eliminated each round for Rounds 1-8. 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...
Junk Food
This first round is all about JUNK FOOD! Candy, chips, popcorn, just about anything that you find at a movie theatre (lol!). You must base your design off of one of those snacks that are so bad for you but OH so tasty. Try and think as outside the box as you can, since I don't want 10 different ice cream designs. You can always message me if you have any questions about what I will except as fitting for this challenge.
As always, you are free to ask questions, message me with designs to get my opinion on how well it fits the theme, etc. I look forward to seeing everyone's entries. :)
ALL DESIGNS MUST BE TURNED IN BY Thursday, March 31st, 6PM Sylestia Time

Hey, sorry guys, I just realized I forgot to ask you all to include reference pictures with your entries. I'll change the main post in a bit (I'm wrangling a baby), but I figured I'd ping everyone again and mention it. Thanks!

@Happiness
You can do either. Just putting the image in the message is slightly easier because I don't have to copy and paste the URL to go get the image I can just save it from my inbox.
@Haleighb
Yes, the inspiration picture. I'll make that more clear in future rounds so theres no confusion. It just helps the people who will be voting understand your inspiration.
@Pegacorn8
Unfortnately, sign-ups are closed. Sorry. :(

Are we allowed to get outside help? Say, I had a friend and I wanted to see if my design is good. Is that allowed?
