Welcome~

I decided to make a new and improved critique thread in hopes I'll keep up to date with it. I focus on cosplay only because I prefer it and feel it's easier for me to vote on.

How I base my votes:

-Reference Image. If it doesn't have it, I generally don't know how to rate or how to tell a person how to improve. My question to you guys is does it matter if the avatar has to match the ref to a "T". i.e., if the avatar is kneeling/standing, background, day/night, props, etc. Colors vary depending on scenes (i.e. Jessica Rabbit's gloves are portrayed as both purple and blue, depending what picture you use). Usually, I have to go by the reference image because I am unfamiliar with a lot of characters. The reference is also helpful because I don't see the character on a day-to-day basis, and/or their outfits change. If you are cosplaying a character from a novel, don't write about the novel. Write about the character you are cosplaying. By that, I mean give us a physical description of the character so we can imagine what you were trying to portray. If you can, grab the novel and take the description from it and put it in your description.
-Gender. Whereas in the real world, you cannot change your gender for a cosplay, in a virtual world, you should. Certain exceptions for this I think are if the male character is lanky or the female character is muscled/bulky.
-Eye color. Again, like the gender. Yes, real world, you can buy contacts, but certain people (like myself) can't stand them. So yes, eye color is important on a virtual cosplay.
-Skin color. Once again, like the gender, in the real world, you cannot change your skin color for a cosplay, in a virtual world, you should.
-Description. Write us something so we know about the character or the items that you used so there's no questioning in the comments. I won't bother to read a description if it is written in all caps. It's very unappealing and makes it difficult to read. Also, if you don't use correct grammar or spelling, I'll question it because, more than likely, I don't know what you're trying to say.

Black List
(Anyone can get added to this list from either the arenas itself or this forum)


Kawaii Tsukino - not being able to take criticism in the arenas and for overreacting when I made a suggestion.
Kawaii-Airu - not being able to take criticism on her entry when I made two obviously needed suggestions and deleted my comments without a second thought or opinion. Sorry, but the arenas are not for you.
Lacus-Haro-chan - for sending a Private Message calling me out for a "rude" comment I left on her entry. She called it rude just because I didn't sugarcoat any of the positive things in her entry, then she ignored me lol. Again, someone can't take criticism.
Narcissistically Sexy - lol I should really put you under a special feature one since I was so unique enough to be featured in your "About Me", but you are here because you are always rude to everyone who points out a flaw in your entries, then you get butthurt because you don't win. And yeah, I have PM's set to private because too many of you butthurt contestants PM me with your butthurt feelings 'cause I don't sugarcoat things.
