Suffering from creative block or stuck in an avatar style rut? Same here… I've devised a little challenge to push my avatar making into some new territories and would love some company in this endeavor.
The basic premise is to have two lists of avatar attributes and use the dice roll function to randomly choose two attributes to meld into one avatar, with hopefully some experimental and interesting results.

1) First things first: Let me know you're playing. Quote me in the thread, and I'll add you to the participants list. Please include a headshot code so I can include your gorgeous mug in the list of participants. (Go here to get the code: headshot)
2) You can use your first post as your challenge gallery, so when you've completed the challenge, upload your masterpiece to an image host of your choice and then to your first post. (Inside a spoiler tag, please~) I will be linking the participant list to this post to hopefully make it easier to view everyone's avatars.
3) Finally, on to the fun part! Reply to the thread and roll two six sided dice to see what you'll be making. Use the numbers to pick the corresponding numbers in the two lists. No do-overs! scream This is supposed to be a challenge!

Join any time and feel free to do more than one per challenge.
I encourage you to use inventory search and upload standard 120 x 150 px images of your avi. Use tektek if you must, but please upload the standard size avatar.
I will plan on posting a new set of potential mashups once a week—most likely on Tuesdays.
Did I miss something or is something broken? Send me a PM or quote me.
(I suck at putting these threads together, so chances are you're going to find broken links, etc.)
Have a suggestion for a challenge list? PM me! smile
In case it isn't obvious, be nice and follow the ToS.
Woot! Let's do this! Roll two six-sided dice to pick an attribute from each list and create an avatar mashup.
Remember when evolving items came with more than fifteen poses and took months to evolve? Remember how exciting it was each Friday when the announcement came out? I miss those days… But I digress… This week's challenge is to use one of the poses from these classic evolving items to create something that you might find in one of the features in the following magazines.
List One: Evolving item (Recolored poses are acceptable.)
1. Zodiacal
2. Gogh Reed
3. Modus Operandi
4. Case of Pietro or Imaginary Friend
5. Aria Dannata
6. Death Whisper or the Nightmare
List Two: Magazine
1. Vogue / High Fashion
2. Field and Stream / Outdoors
3. National Enquirer / Tabloid
4. National Geographic or Travel
5. Martha Stewart / Craft, Food, Garden
6. Playboy or Sports
Challenge Five is to create the ultimate villain. Oftentimes, our criminal mastermind has a peculiar trait that makes them tick. So, roll for a genre and roll for a feature. Bonus points for a backstory and an awesome villain name.
List One: Genre
1. Comic book
2. Spy Thriller / James Bond
3. LOTR / High Fantasy
4. Horror
5. Anime
6. Western
Challenge Four is a little bit different. Instead of working with a theme this time, we're going to play with textures and materials—your interpretation of this combo can be as abstract or literal as you please. The lists are also shorter this time, so you'll need to roll 2 four sided dice. (Thank you, captain obvious!) I'll also be leaving the previous list up for those that still want to play with those lists.

Ahaha, I'm hoping the same but damn I got Earth Tones for my colour scheme... this could be harder then I thought.
Well, it isn't a contest, so the rules are more like guidelines. wink My monochrome one ended up being shades of red and orange… oh well, on to the next~
