Hello everyone! We will be holding design contests for the 2019 Spring Festival (Coming in April)! Please make sure to read the rules carefully!


Rules

1. Design an Avatar Outfit for the Spring Festival. Please use the following bases to draw your avatar items on.

Male Avatar Base

Female Avatar Base

The following can be included all in one entry for avatars:

1 Avatar Outfit
1 Avatar Wings
1 Avatar Back Item
1 Avatar Held Item
1 Avatar Head Item

2. You must draw the items on the avatar base. In case your drawing skills aren't great then along with your drawing you can include a description to better help us envision your avatar items. If you are unable to draw something, then I am sorry, there will be no exceptions.

3. Avatar Items submitted must be Spring Themed. So anything to do with the spring season, this includes any holidays that fall in the spring season, spring weather etc.

4. Please do not reserve posts. If you reserve a post I will delete your post.

5. Please do not Ping me with your submission. Please only Ping me if you have a question.

6. Before submitting your entry please make sure to scan the thread to see if someone else has done something similar. Try to make your entry unique and if someone has already done something that you were wanting to do...then I highly suggest you pick something different. If you feel someone has "copied" your design, do not say anything to that person - especially in this thread.

7. You may only submit ONE official entry. If you wish to submit more then you can send me a PM with drawings of your avatar item ideas. However all PMed entries that are sent to me will not count for prizes.

8. The end date is April 6th 2019 at 11:59 PM server, after that there is no guarantee that we will see your entry and the thread will be locked once designs are picked.

Note

I am very aware that it's typical to use google to search for ideas when designing things. However, it is extremely important that if someone happens to be referencing another person's artwork, it should not be possible to google it and find exactly what was used as reference. Please make sure to change it enough and be creative enough that you're making it your own design. This is extremely important not just for ethical reasons but also for legal reasons when we're implementing something onto our site. Thank you! =)

Prizes

All entries that are picked will have their avatar items created and be given one free copy of the submitted items. Everyone that participates will also receive a participation prize.

Don't comment on someone's entry unless you have something nice to say. If someone copies your entry then have faith in us that we will determine the correct winner. Please do not fight over entries, if I see anyone doing this in the thread then whoever is fighting will be disqualified.

Here's my Spring Fest Avatar entry! I look forward to seeing everyone else's~





All images were taken with my cell phone camera as my scanner does not want to work right now ^^u

Outfit: Celestial Starfire Outfit- I did it on the male and female base. Where the blue trim is on the tops, the purple dots in there are supposed to glow like stars. The energy effect coming out of the bottom of the tops is supposed to look like the Aurora Borealis, and is not supposed to be see through. The dots in the aurora energy are little stars which glow.

Wings: Celestial Starfire Wings- The wings I put on the female base. The arms of the wings are feathers, with each feather and the joint of the wing sporting a Starfire Crystal each. The crystal on the joint and on the larger feathers has a glowing star inside. The energy coming out of the feathers is supposed to look like the Aurora Borealis, with little glowing stars throughout them. I did not colour in the feathers so the detail could be seen.

Back Item: Starry Night Background- I put the background on the male base. It supposed to be very dark blue(I do not have dark enough blue water colour paints). There are many little glowing stars in the night sky with a few shooting stars streaking by.

Head Item: Celestial Starfire Circlet- I put this on the female base. Much like the outfit and wings, the energy coming out of the crown is supposed to look like the Aurora Borealis, with little glowing stars throughout it. In the middle of the circlet is a Starfire Crystal, with a glowing star within. The purple dots around the circlet are suppose to be glowing stars.

Held Item: Celestial Starfire Dracate- I put this little guy on his own as I wanted to put in lots of detail but it would have been more difficult if I drew it right next to one of the avatar bases. A dracate is a cat/dragon, which combines my two favourite creatures! He looks up into the face/eyes of your avatar, and his nose almost touches or does touch the fingers of your avatar's outstretched hand. The wings are just like the avatar wings. The body is a combination of dragon and cat, with the front legs being more cat like, and the back legs being more dragon like, although I couldn't resist putting little paw pads in. It has fur all over it's body, with little horns coming out of it's head. There is a fire in between the horns, that has little glowing stars in it. The muzzle is a bit longer than on your average cat. I outlined the dracate in black where other colours were not needed so that the details could be better seen.

I had this idea a while ago and I've been eager to share it. I was inspired by unicorns, but I wanted a more "wild" look, and was also inspired by other fairy tales, enchanted forests, and roses. The finished result of those concepts:


I call the set "Forest Fable".

Head: A horn inspired by antelope horns, although I have an alternate horn as well if this doesn't look "unicorn-y" enough. The hair is a long curly mane, and there's a small, delicate flower crown to finish the look.

Outfit: A simple gown with embroidery of roses and thorns at the neckline, and long transparent sleeves.

Held: A unicorn foal curled up. I made it a bit too small, but you get the idea. It's also based on a more traditional unicorn, goat-like with a lion's tail.

Background: An enchanted forest with twisty trees, overgrown rose bushes, and ferns. The background I did doesn't quite capture the full effect, but hopefully it gives the impression I was going for.

Other color versions:

Subtle Rainbow

(Note: the colors on my laptop are showing hardly any color variation, so sorry if the color isn't visible. My other computer's monitor is much more saturated, and I do my art on there.)

Pale Gold


The alternate horn design:

Sakura Samurai

(Also alternate headgear and held for Sohei, which is basically a monk-warrior.)

Skyfire (M) and Bluefire (F)

Set Name: Daffodil's Spring (Bulbori)

Very Brief Notes:
.It's meant to represent a Bulbori.
.Wings, Head piece, and an Outfit are all in the image.

Other:

.The wings are representing the "Chibi Wings" trait that you can find on the Bulbori species

Handful of Flowers!
