I was thinking .. what the hell is carte blanche emotion_0A0
Upon on my search, carte blanche is a tv series about a south africa investigator.
Upon investigating on the definition, it turn out to be "complete freedom to act as one wishes or thinks best."

I feel so messed up. emotion_0A0
Is doing Eastern world type is alright for this historical avi contest? emotion_facepalm
I just gonna try. emotion_donotwant

Alrighty, here are my attempts. Artistic license was definitely
utilized to the most of my ability. xD



I present to you the Philistine priestess Delilah, a woman widely believed to have existed, who possessed great skill and talent in dancing for the temple she belonged to. These abilities were harnessed to beguile a man called Samson and brought about the end of a man renowned for his incredible strength.



Race along to the not-so-distant part of history when one of the most talked about and last Imperial Romanov family reigned in Russia. Empress Alexandra sipping tea in her lilac sitting room. This was her favourite room in her suite, for it was here that she surrounded herself with the icons of religious figures. Coincidentally, it was also where she retreated to recover from her health problems, many of which were brought about by anxiety.

Oh, no! I'm sorry it was confusing. emotion_facepalm
I did write "You may submit absolutely any avi you wish, as long as it is somehow historical. Have fun!" under Carte Blanche, though.

Yes, of course! The linked guide even has a Eastern World section if that can help. I'm looking forward to seeing your entry/entries.

Unfortunately, this is what I can currently see. No lute playing maiden here. sweatdrop


The problem is that the image link you posted is taken from the dress-up.
Therefore, if you change your avatar, the image you posted will change as well.

You should save the image and host it or equip the items for your entry until I quote you.

Definitely going to give this a try! c8
Hopefully I can resist making a crap ton of them- with a theme like carte blanche. xD

I can totally understand you. If I wasn't hosting the contest, I think I would have submitted about a dozen entries. sweatdrop

I've added your two entries to the list. Feel free to add more and good luck!

Well, your entry reminds me a lot of my uncle, but I have a feeling that's not the correct answer. lol
Care to enlighten me? (EDIT: I've added your entry to the list. Good luck!)

Haha! Yes! Thank you~

I appreciate the invite, but with only two slots left, I think I am going to try and hold myself back to give others opportunity. But I look forward to future themes! c:

The number of entries is not limited!
I must collect 10 entries for the contest to end at the set date. If by that date there aren't 10 entries, the contest will end only when 10 entries are collected. c:
