Welcome to Gaia! ::

The snow is falling, the music plays a sweeping waltz, and the chandelier’s glitter like icicles. These two P’an Lun, however, just cant figure out what to wear!

We have a male and a female, Hosted by Mindsend and Zephlis, that need their hair styled and their outfits primped for this winter ball.

What you need to do:

You choose one or both of the P’an Lun, and design them winter themed outfits as well as hairstyles. Can be anything from just a short bun hairdo and a few jewels, to long flowing tresses and an elegant ball gown.

You may Draw over the templates, draw your own versions, or even write the description out. This isn’t an art contest, but just a design.

Our favorite designs will be drawn onto the Sandpainters and winner gets the painter design they won done by Either Zephlis, Mindsend, or some sort of collaboration between the two.


Rules:

- Try to avoid cosplays
- You can ONLY USE THIS TEMPLATE FOR THIS CONTEST. If you are found using it anywhere else, even your quests, you risk getting grey or blacklisted.
- Do NOT add mutations such as adding wings or altering their feet, changing the type of tail (you may choose to end it in something other then hair however) or altering the horns into a different type. Try to limit yourself to clothing, jewelry, items, and hair.
- Once again I must point out that should you sketch over the pet, you cannot use this artwork outside of the contest, or else it will be considered art theft. These painters WILL belong to someone at the end of the event, after all.
-you are able to enter once for both genders, but only once for each design.


YOU CAN: Describe your design rather then write it, draw your own picture for a base, print the pictures out and do the design in fingerpaints: Its all up to you! Dont feel limited by lack of Drawing skills or art programs. You could make them out of clay if you want. biggrin

Forms:

Question!

Can we get someone else to do a reference image for us, provided the design is ours?

Name of the Sandpainter: Persephone
Painters Gender: Female
Image: Requesting ShinosBee do a reference. Will edit the post with the image below when it's done!
Design Name: Yule Maiden
Description: I'll start with the hair and tail tuft. The hair should be violet in color, and of medium length. It would be similar to a mane, with a slight curl to it. Her tail tuft would be slightly longer, with the same curl to it. Further up her neck are a string of multiple deep blue cords, with the topmost and bottommost cords having a single stone of tumbled quartz in the middle. Just above her shoulder is a snow white fur stole, which is very thick and fluffy and completely wrapped around her. She has shorter white fur wrapped around her arms and tied in place with tan cords. There are thicker cord "belts" wrapped around her torso, each of them strung with a different kind of gem. The gems include deep violet fluorite, amethyst, and azurite. There is a mink sash wrapped around her waist, and tied in a simple knot. Her feet are also wrapped in deep blue cords, tied around almost like sandals. She has more deep blue cords wrapped around her tail, each of them strung with more gemstones.
Additional Notes: All of the images are based on the Wiccan element associated with winter! All of them are symbols of Earth.

Edit:

Name of the Sandpainter (What would you name this dragon?): Armand
Painters Gender (so we know what your talking about): male
Image:EDIT:

Design Name: Yuletide Romeo
Description: Armand is the cocky type, and quite the ladies' man, which means that he always dresses in the latest party fashion... well, his latest fashion, at least. Here he sports a Shakespearean jacket with ruffled undershirt sticking out from above the v-neck and below the bottom of his spirited coat. He wears the seasonal colors: red, green, gold. His long hair is silky and fashionably tied back. His musketeer-like hat always catches the attention, especially with it's multi-colored feather. He accessorizes with a few bunches of his favorite holiday plant: holly (I'd like to add one more tiny bunch behind the feather on his hat-EDIT: I added the holly and changed the tail cuff.). He also has many loose bows and ribbons, and many random pieces of jewelry (Horn-rings, earring, tail cuff and tail rings). His coat is decorated with delicate images of holly. His pantaloons are black, with brown, gold-buttoned leather boots. On the tip of his tail is a small holly-decoration.
Additional Notes: He's inspired from my love of the medieval and Renaissance ages. I thought that the old setup went nicely with the Christmas colors... and really did make him look like some kind of lady-stealer! xD This is only my second edit ever. I had fun!

Name of the Sandpainter (What would you name this dragon?):Jaxx
Painters Gender (so we know what your talking about):Male
Image:
Design Name:The Aristocrat.
Description:
Jaxx sports an Elegant Black satin penguin tailed Coat Trimmed in gold around the collar and down the front of the coat. The Opened coat shows off the off white ruffled shirt and his red pendant that dangles from a silver chain about his neck Around his lower half you see a gold waist guard (not sure what they are called really, sorry.) and from his left pocket you see a silver chain which attaches to his pocket watch. His feet and hands are covered in a sort of active wear, allowing for easy movement when need be, but retaining a classic feel (Don't know what they are called but I've seen them before on anthro drawings ^^;; ) Jaxx gives this classic look some new edge with a short styled hair slightly spiked in the back and the bangs rolled over in a wave of auburn color.

Additional Notes: I was going for simple and elegant, nothing more. ^^, another fun one to do. ^^ thank you.

Name of the Sandpainter (What would you name this dragon?):Poinsettia
Painters Gender (so we know what your talking about): Female
Image:
Design Name:Poinsettia Chrismas
Description: Long red scattered hair, that looks a bit wind blown and mussy, -because shes an earthy creature- On her tail instead of fur, or feathers, are poinsettia leaves, they look a bit like flame sorta, but bright red shiny poinsettia petals/leaves wrapped around her tail sticking out everywhere! She would have poinsettia vines and leaves and twigs dangling off of her antlers, in her hair would be one giant flower, also at the hem of her dress, maybe on her gloves and shoes aswell. poin

Shoe wise, she would just have ribbons wrapped around her feet, have flowers like this at good points in her dress, tail, hair, around her ankle, and her wrist. Poin

I decided to also give her some lace in poinsettia colors, wrapped around the base of her tail and up where it begines, I was thinking maybe it could be foil colored? Look like the foil that all those poinsettia pot plants are wrapped in. poin
Id like her dress to be short, cute, and be pointy layered, sorta like a bunch of wrapping on top of one another at the bottom edge of the dress.-cant draw clothes- Short sleved and with greens, golds, and reds.

Additional Notes: -cough- okay so im not much of an eh editing artist myself, but I do frigging adore sandpaints! -shot-
ANYWAYS! Heres my girl, the lady of poinsettia's, now the first thing I think of when I hear christmas other then gifts and trees, is poinsettias, there my favorite christmas flower so bright and red and vibrant I just love them! Also did I mention I love this shop? Yeah I do, so the two things combined would be just so insanely amazing!
