For a while now, I have been something of an avatar edit-whore. I love to buy edits. So now I figured I should give something back to the avvie edit community, and hold a contest. heart

The contest is open to editors of all skill levels, and all varieties. The only theme is that is has to be done on my personal base. You may add wings, tails, animal ears, etc., but you may not change the base, such as giving her a cat's face (unless it was a mask). 3nodding

The contest will end on Sunday the 11th of September. A month and four days (because at that point I'll be back in school, so it'd be easier to end it on a week-end.)

All edits submitted, including those which do not win, are counted as being mine, in the sense that they are treated as an edit purchased from a minishop. They will be added to my edit collection. I will not claim them as mine, and will give credit where it is due. I will not use them without consent, and I will not edit them without permission.

I will do the judging, as the edits are for me, so only I can choose what I like best, no?

Read all of the rules. 3nodding
All of Gaia's TOS apply in this thread and contest.
All entries should be posted here, try to avoid PMing me.
Be courteous to everyone in this thread, do not flame, harass, or otherwise upset any other member of this thread.
Your edit may not be a pre-existing edit, such as one sold in your edit store or made for someone else. It must be made specifically for this contest. You may use parts of your own edits to make one for this contest, of course.
You must use one of the bases supplied for your edit. Entries done on different bases will not qualify.
The bases supplied, although original credit goes to Gaiaonline, were edited by me, soley for my use. You may not use the base edits for any purpose but this contest. Doing so will result in immediate reporting to a mod, without any warning.
You may submit multiple entries, but you may not win more than one prize, as that would be unfair to the other entrants.
Stolen edits are a BIG no-no. If anyone is found to have stolen ANY part of another's edit, they will be automatically disqualified, and reported.
You may, however, use existing Gaia items to make your edit, though an edit that is entirely a re-colour of gaia clothing is very unlikely to get anything at all. Just one or two things, such as a kiki kitty with tabby markings, or adding EMO glasses and a silver bracelet, is perfectly okay.

If you notice anyone has broken any of thse rules, PM me immediately so I can take necessary actions.

If you'd like to be an affy then just post here. Note that other art contests are best to affilate with my contest, and any minishops are wiser to ask in either (or both) of my shops. ^^

P.A.Q (Previously asked questions)

Is there anything specific that you are looking for.. as in.. a theme, or a style of clothing that is preferred?
Not at all, just go with what you feel like.

Are we allowed to alter the hair in any way?
You may create your own wig on the bald base, and you may re-color the hair on the current wigs. If you mean editing the wigs to add/remove length or anything, then that's okay too.

Do you want a old fasioned or modern look?
I don't mind at all, go with whatever you like. 3nodding heart

just to clarify, we can't change the pose right? like no sitting down edits etc...
You can change the pose, so long as you change the pose of one of the bases. The 'Queenie' bases have custom skintone and eyes, so long as both of those are used in the edit, then it qualifies.

As I have said before you can do anything, but this is just a little section for those of you stuck for ideas. That's not to say that only edits based upon these things will win, it's just a few things I like that you could use as inspiration.

Queenie is not a huge fan of pink. Especially not bright magenta pink. That's not to say that having pink in your edit will make me hate it, as I do love the Cheshire cat, which in the Disney version is pink and purple. But outside that, rationing your use of pink is a big thumbs up. sweatdrop

Quote:

A list of things Queenie likes to give you some ideas, though as I said, anything goes really, some have sample images and links, though of course you're not expected to make edits of those exactly, they're just to give you a general idea.:
The Cheshire Cat Image 1, Image 2
Catgirls Bridget E Wilde's catgirl home I adore these catgirls, so, so much! <3
Lolita clothing A public photobucket account with a lot of loli images - I find it ver useful for inspiration
Pretty things (I know it's silly sounding, but I mean like sparkly things or ornate things, generally decorative) I know it's a polly Pocket dress, but dammit it's pretty!, try doing a google image serach for brands such as Versace
Lingerie wink
Big ballgowns and medieval dresses

Look at the edits I already own (in my journal) if you want more of a general idea of what I like in edits. 3nodding heart

You may create your own wig on the bald base, and you may re-color the hair on the current wigs. If you mean editing the wigs to add length or anything, then that's okay too. 3nodding I shall go add that somewhere.

[datura] Nothing specific really, but if you'd like I can add in a list of things I like, to give you some ideas?
