 I bet most of you have already seen the wonderful new shiny treats our artists created for the Ringer crew a while ago. Ringer dolls in portraits! Wee! Aren't they gorgeous? What a waste would it be to keep them hidden in our trunks, so it's time to spread the love and hand out some dolls, so they can be immortalized in your galleries. I've rounded up a bunch of Ringers who are keen on handing out their dolly counterparts, but I'm afraid - being the greedy bastards that we are - we're not giving them away for free. So sharpen your pencils and needles, fire up those graphic tools or grab some modeling clay. I've looked through many past events and decided to combine two formats which yielded absolutely amazing results in the past. We know you're talented, you proved that much many times over and we want more of that - so create avatars and dolls for us! So, what now? Create a doll or forum avatar for your Ringer of choice from the list of participating Ringers. You may create one entry per Ringer and up to 5 avatars and 5 dolls total - meaning you can have a total of 10 entries (for 10 different Ringers). How? The technique is mainly up to you, but there are some requirements. See the category "Entry Format" below. All entries need to be posted in the correct entry thread and entry posts need to contain all requested information. When? Deadline for this event is 23:59 PST on February 15, 2013. Judging and Prizes Each Ringer will judge his entries personally and pick his personal favourites. While we all aim to give out at least one doll (or maybe more, if your creations leave us awestruck), we also reserve the right to only give out eggs or minor prizes if we think the quality of entries doesn't warrant awarding a doll. (Yes, we're picky!) So go for quality, not quantity! Participating Ringers and Entry Threads There is a total of 25 Ringers participating in this event. Make sure you post your entries in the correct entry thread!
Entry Format General information Each entry needs to contain the following information:
Forum Avatars If you decide to create a forum avatar for the Ringer of your choice, the avatar will need to have the following format:
How you create the graphic is up to you. Scanned pencil drawings, water color paintings, photographs or simply digitally created art, whichever you prefer. As long as everything is your own work and created for this contest. Dolls If you decide to create a doll, make sure you provide the following images. Each image should have a card visible with your pirate name, ocean and 2013 on it, so we can be sure it is your original work and created for this contest.
Posting images of the small/original versions of forum avatars and thumbnail images of dolls are fine. For larger images, please only post links. Please post each entry in a separate post, even if you have more than one entry for the same entry thread. Additional Rules

I almost fell off my chair from excitement! just what i needed to fill my next month with ^_^ (wonder if I can learn to sew or knit in a month o.O) Ok so i do actually have a question for the doll making: does it have to be knitted or sewn? or can it be a clay doll? ---------------------------------------- PixelPixie; I collect Sunfish, Angelfish, Blowfish, catfish Pixelpixie avvy's avvy by Velternal, Pennywhistle & Darkfeary < |

That's entirely up to you. Knitting, sewing, modeling clay or mashed potatoes - it's your choice of materials and methods to create a doll. ---------------------------------------- Avatar by Podgekins of Hunter |

Restrictions are my Nemesis >_< only being allowed to make 3 may be a blessing in disguise, given how over-committed I already am :P A query on the dolls: is it okay if they don't look like the portrait dolls, so long as they're still clearly the intended ringer? I often draw inspiration from portraits, where the clothes, etc are often different. ---------------------------------------- Imp of Meridian. Superdoodle avatar by Budclare =D |

I think you're right. Given the number of participating Ringers and after some discussion with my eventsy colleagues, 3 seems a little too restrictive, so let's go with 5. (Okay, we're just really greedy.)
They can look any way you like, you don't need to create exact copies of the dolls. You can of course do that, but also take your inspiration from the original Greek god, a portrait in the Ringer's gallery or create something entirely different. I can't give any guarantees what the individual Ringers will like the most, but you can certainly be creative! ---------------------------------------- Avatar by Podgekins of Hunter ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by Thalia at Jan 15, 2013 12:10:20 PM] |

...How did you guys figure out about my secret plan to create an avatar for every OM and Ringer? [No,] [seriously.] I think I'm going to thank you for the limit so I can still execute it!

I don't understand how you can do this to me. 10 avatars/dolls in one month? Yeah. Not that I'd win any, but it would be nice to try. Yes, I don't need to do all 10 but if you think I wouldn't then, well, you're wrong. I'm going to start ignoring all Events >:/ ---------------------------------------- Sizzly of Emerald.

I think we'll all be without special backgrounds and other art stuff this month!

Quick question just to clarify for myself: Should we make a separate post for each entry? Like, let's say for the sake of example that I'm making avatars for Eightycats and Eurydice, who are in the same entry thread. Should I make two posts, or one post with the two entries? Hopefully that made sense. ---------------------------------------- Bunnylaroo of Avatar by Cholera |

Sure, what you put into your image is up to you, just make sure you make clear who the avatar is for - okay, that needs to be in your entry post anyway. The only thing you can't do is reuse the exact same image for additional Ringers. We're all special little snowflakes and won't be happy if we see you recycling images and realize the entry wasn't created for the Ringer in question specifically. ;) ---------------------------------------- Avatar by Podgekins of Hunter |
