~Sylestia's Next Top Designer (Cycle 2)~
ROUND SEVEN VOTING
VOTING OPEN
Voting Ends: Tuesday, August 16th at 6:00PM Sylestia Time
Welcome voters to this round of the contest. Your participation is very important to us and greatly appreciated. To vote simply read the rules below. Remember to take your time and look at each design carefully to make the best choice possible.
To our contestants, I would first like to thank you for your participation as well. At the end of this voting the TWO designs with the least amount of votes will be eliminated. It is important to remember that all eliminated contestants will be given a second chance to re-enter the contest during the Wildcard Round right before the finale.
Good luck everyone!
NOTE: One contestant was unable to get their design in on time. However, since our numbers have been slightly off since we restarted, there will still be TWO people eliminated this round.
EVERYONE PLEASE READ THE RULES!
RULES
1.) None of the entries will be labeled with the contestants name. This is what is considered a "blind vote", meaning no one will know who created what design. Once all of the votes are in I will put edit my Vote Counter post below so that everyone's name will be revealed.
2.) There is no real way for me to police this, but I feel confident that those of you who are contestants won't reveal which design is your's privately to anyone in order to get votes. If you are found to have done this you will be disqualified. Furthermore, if you accidentally post in this thread before the voting ends and indicate which design is your's I won't disqualify you, but you will not be eligible for anymore votes.
3.) VOTERS: When voting please vote for your TWO favorite designs. They will be numbered, so please refer to the designs you wish to vote for by number, and not just design name. Comments are welcome and I'm sure will be appreciated by the contestants, but please keep it positive.
4.) Contestants are allowed to vote, but it should go without saying that you shouldn't vote for your own design. I'll know whose is whose.
5.) Everyone have fun and please let me know if you have any questions or think I left something out.
ROUND SEVEN THEME - Seven Deadly Sins
Well, you all should have been anticipating this one. Last time we focused on the good, now it is time to take a look at things a little more evil. The Seven Deadly Sins are: Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. I encourage everyone to do research and really think hard about their design. The goal is to create a design that embodies the feeling behind your sin in whatever way makes sense to you.
Reference pictures will NOT be required unless there is an image that you relied heavily on for inspiration and helps explain your design. I very much suggest that you submit a BRIEF description of your design to explain some of your choices.
Design #1 - Greed Puffadore
Greed is a sin of desire. It is a sin to want/pursue some material/natural possession, and then not give it up. It also states that when the person/s gets that possession they want it more and more, and won't never give any away. Greed makes a person act in unholy ways, e.g. by violence, trickery, manipulation or authority. Greed is something mostly portrayed by the rich folk. And mostly acted upon the poor folk. The bible believes that greed can lead to not some but all evil.
I chose Puffadore as my species because the puffadore i think is a sylesti that portrays rich values. In all history a pampered pooch is seen as a sign of royalty. E.g. The Queen has corgis, and i think that shows her status *what i stated about mostly rich folk show greed* Also dogs are seen as being greedy.
Colours
Pink/Red *Mostly red* - seen as violence and desire
Gold - Rich colour *having gold symbolises your wealth*
Purple - Royalty
Black - Elegance, sophistication, power, dark thoughts
Design #2 - Gluttony Morkko
DISCLAIMER: This description may be a little dark and graphic. The contestant felt strongly about writing an emotional piece to portray the evils of this sin.
A child, a child, abandoned and starving... He lays curled on the street, his ribcage pressing against his skin. His clothing has been torn and soaked, it is nothing but scraps upon his frail frame. His eyes long to open, but the pain is too much to bear.
A glutton is the woman who eats more than her fill, using her money to stuff herself with more than she can hold. Eyes yellow with greed, teeth orange in gluttony. The food she consumes could feed more than one starving child, and though these facts lay true in the corrupted world, she continues to pray on another's dream without a care. She eats before the rest of her family, leaving them with barely enough to go by, and expecting more. She sits in her chair, served in every hour of the day, eating her cares away.
Design #3 - Lust Nytekrie
Okay I got lust(ewwww) and I chose Nytekrie because they are creepy, and the bones because too much of lust is bad for your health, with the Valentines Lace and petals for outward appearance, so basically as a warning of the outward appearance isn't always true-So don't do it.
Design #4 - Wrath Morkko
Wrath can be defined as uncontrolled feelings of anger, rage and hatred. Wrath is often symbolized by the spilling of innocent blood. The symbolic color of wrath is red. Red is also the color of most blood. black is the base color of this design because the color black is associated with evil. The armor symbolizes a eagerness for conflict and the broken shackles represent being a slave to ones self.
Design #5 - Envy Morkko
I used the expression "green with envy" as the base to my design. Bertrand Russell said that envy was one of the most potent causes of unhappiness. Not only is the envious person rendered unhappy by his or her envy, but that person also wishes to inflict misfortune on others. However, psychologists have recently suggested that there may be two types of envy: malicious envy and benign envymalicious envy being proposed as a sick force that ruins a person and his/her mind and causes the envious person to blindly want the "hero" to suffer; on the other hand, benign envy being proposed as a type of positive motivational force that causes the person to aspire to be as good as the "hero"-but only if benign envy is used in a right way. (from Wikipedia) My design is based on malicious envy, and I thought that the morkko was the perfect sylesti to embody envy, because it looks angry and malicious.
Design #6 - Sloth Kelpari
"The sin of sloth lazes about beneath the sea. Carelessly draped in seaweed that it couldn't even be bothered to clean off, it aimlessly floats through the oceans currents."
Note: the symbolic color of sloth is a light blue, hence the corresponding water design.

Post #7
Due to my error in having two designs labeled #4, I need you to edit your post with the # and name of the designs you voted for in case you actually voted for #3. Thank you.

Wait, we voted for 9 designs last time and 2 were voted off. Shouldn't we be voting for 7 this time, not 6? Where's pride?
Must have missed that somehow.

I stated just before the rules that one designer was unable to get their design in on time.
