Just in case they DO give us our skins back we've got to be ready to make the BEST BOO Avatars ever right?

So here are the rules. They are very simple.
1- It must include the BOO skin
2- You may enter as many avatars as you like
3- We must be able to actually see the BOO skin
4- Item list for ALL items must be included

At this point I have about 18k, so by the end I should at least have 20k

Prizes will go as the following
1st place - 10k
2nd place - 5k
3rd place - 3k
4th place - 1k
5th place - 1k

Gold amount may change depending on how much gold I get by the end of the contest.


I will pick a top five (or ten depending on how much gold I get) and will put up a poll, then our fellow guild members will VOTE! =D


Edit: Thank Chaotix Bluix for bringing this to my attention. These avatars should be made in Tektek! I am NOT asking you to change your avatars!

It sounds like an interesting idea for a contest. So many members of our Order seem to wish they had the skin because they want to come up with so many different avatars for it. This gives them an excuse (and an incentive wink ) to do just that.

I can add in prize money, too, if you like. smile

I thought so too! ^^
It's totally up to you if you want to add to the prizes. Not like I'd complain! ^^

These seems like a silly things to ask... but:
-How is submission going to be handled?
-How much skin needs to be visible in order to be accepted?
(I've got about 2 avatars in the works at the time of posting, and these questions really will impact how they'll turn out... which is practically why I'm asking.)

And I'm sure it's implied... but you really ought to say that the avi's ought to be made in TekTek (or something similar of a service [unless you happen to have a bunch of older avi designs laying around your computer]). We wouldn't want people to mistakenly change their avatars on Gaia and lose the BOO skin after making it this far. sweatdrop

Anycase, I really really like the idea of this contest, especially since it would allow more interconnectivity of guild members and get those creative juices going, as well as give us another reason to embrace the BOO skin that much more. 3nodding

Most likely by posting it in here, unless you have a suggestion for other means.

-How much skin needs to be visible in order to be accepted?
Really, as long as I can look at it and know it's BOO Skin. If the eyes are showing you don't have to worry because there are no other eyes like it. If the eyes are covered I'd suggest making the shoulder crystals more visible, but really, I just need to be able to tell it's BOO skin. If I can't tell I'll let you know and you can go back and edit it.

Actually, thanks for bringing that to my attention. I'd feel awful if someone removed their skin because of this. Thank you for pointing out the risk. <3


@ Ice- Your wording confuses me, but then again I didn't get much sleep...

Nope, no other suggestions at this time. I mean... entries could always be PMed in, but where's the fun in that if everyone can't see all the combination? D:

Alright, that helps clarifies things a bit, and at least gives me (and some others), some guidelines to keep in mind. ^-^;

You're welcome! I, for the most part, want to avoid any unnecessary grief caused by a misunderstanding of something. sweatdrop

How does one go about doing this exactly? Tektek? I am still losted a bit.

Well, first start by going to Tektek and entering the "Dream Avatar" creator.
-You'll want click on the drop down menu where it says "normal avatars" and select "special avatars". Doing this will bring up all the special avatar skins from drinking potions/events and ect.... however, you'll at this point want to select your gender, as the skin available to you will directly be influenced by what you pick. Then for the sake of this contest, select the skin that says "Overseer".
-At this point, you want to click on each of the tabs on top and select the mouth and hair that you want to use (don't select any of the eyes though. They look really, really weird on the BOO skin and normally the BOO skin would overlap over them anyways).
-Next comes the main event and perhaps the most important part of this process... by putting on the items! First click on the items tag and marvel at the User Interface for a moment.

... it's very pretty and simple isn't it?...

When you're done with that, there's 6 things (that I will conveniently bold), you ought to take notice of before you start piling on the items. You should see two drop down menus, one labeled Item Type and one labeled Colors. These control the kinds of items that you'll see in the box display with all the said items and more by using the left and right arrows to scroll through the selection.
Using these, you probably could manage to make a very nice avatar, but with these elements alone, the creation process would take a while... which is why there are Boxes! Yes, Boxes!... on the left side of the item display as well as a search function to help you find what you're looking for much faster!
Now, it's time to give your avatar something to wear... and to do this is as easy as clicking on the item you want to use! Once you do however, I want you to take a look at the farthest righthand box, the one that says "Equipped". This is fairly simple and self explanatory, but take a moment to look at the three boxes next to each item that you equip. The one that looks like an X is the delete button (and removes it from the list. Also clicking on the item a second time in the item display does the same thing), the grey spiky thing toggles if a particular item will be visible, and the ? mark opens a new tab telling you the market value and other interesting tidbits about the item in question.

And finally... once you think you found a look you like, click the save button on the left side and it should take you to a screen showing your avi, how much it's worth, and what items you used to make the avi. What you want to do however is find where it says "Price List Code With Avatar" and copy the jumble of letters and text thats there, and then post it in this thread like so:
User Image
Total Value: 177,833 Gold
[Item Information]

Item List:
Water Trident
Ruby Beach Sandals
Let it Snow
Red And Maroon Reversible Hair Pins
Red Heart Droop Chain Belt
Audrey's White Long Gloves
White Zoot Suit Tramas
White Tied Top

(FYI: I'm not entering this one. I just thought it would be a good example and a fun way to accurately depict all the steps)
... and that should take you through the creation and the submission for this contest. :3

(sorry if this is overkill, but hopefully it answered your question and was some fun to read at points.)
