~*~Round 1: Animal Trainer~*~
Extra: Congratulations to all contestants for getting in! For the first round of season three, you will have to make a Tektek of an animal trainer. They can tame anything from a lion, tiger, dog, ect as long as it's an animal. So yes, you will have to have an animal in your Tektek. You also can’t use more than two items of a set, like midnight gothic, sweet lace, or fallen wish (this applies to all the rounds in the future). Another tip for now and the future is that you could impress the judges with a story that is about a paragraph long of your Tektek to show what you were going for and allows a defense if any of the judges 'doesn't see how it applies to the theme.'
Price Limit: There is none! But here’s the catch, you can’t make it a cluttered mass like I see a lot of people do when there’s no limit.
Due Date: July 9th, 5:00 PM Gaia Time
One of you will be eliminated (unless some people are lazy and don’t make one).
Also, please don't send PMs to any of the judges!
Good luck! 4laugh

1. Zig Zag Zebra – I really liked the look of your tektek along with it’s story. The only thing to have considered was to have some white somewhere on or near the legs so that they wouldn’t blend in too much. Very unique. ^^ Also, please have your tektek in a link next time so that judges know what items you used~
2. Crazy_Cassidy15 - I am impressed that no matter how simple it looks, it’s very appealing in that it looks realistic. It’s just flat adorable and you picked dogs that correctly positioned around the tektek without cluttering it. My only suggestion would be to have something on her upper arm. :3
3. Huka-Boo – Being an Alaskan, I found your mini explanation cute. xD Although I don’t live in the part where penguins are, it looks pretty good in my opinion [they probably wouldn’t wear a short dress, but maybe if they are born in Alaska (like me) and used to the cold]. Anyways, I like the colors in this, but it’s a bit cluttered. The only reason that I don't have anything against it for that cluttered look is that you didn't used multiple items. In fact, when I looked at your item list, it was mainly the snowy backround piece that made it look that way. So be careful with those~
4. Kiria Night – I like this look a lot! The only thing that keeps bothering me is that you forgot my advice and didn’t put the creamish color of the tekteks’ hair in the leg area. When I look at it, I get half human half brownie. xD Anyways, it looks really nice except for that~
5. iiShexii_Mamiixs – First of all, I would like to say that I love butterflies!~<3 Secondly, this tektek looks really cute and could have gotten up higher if there were items on her arm like brown gloves, a gold ring, and maybe something that would occupy the upper arm area. I’m also not a fan of the mouth chosen, but I like this tektek. (:
6. Commonsense of BlindEyes – This is pretty cute~ I liked the story for it and I wouldn’t have noticed the book if I didn’t read it. So, in my opinion, I’m not quite a fan of the mouth and glasses chosen. I like the eyes being noticeable and the glasses pull away from them. My other recommendation would be card shark bands on the arms so that the upper arms have something extra on them.
7. Broken Janders - I really wish that you had time so you were able to take my advice to fix the avatar; you could have gotten to the top of my list easily. To restate them, I first think that you should get the pink hairpin in the girl's hair layered under the white flowery piece so that it flows better. Secondly, I think a black skirt should be layered into the skirts; maybe a black pleated one instead of the red. I also think that the fanny pack should be removed; it adds a weird bulk to her side. The idea is great, but there were a few errors~
8. TheDollxxHazuki – Your story was cute with this; it sounds like she was having training problems. xD When looking at this tektek, I think you should have put some darker colors in the main outfit (like the black or dark blue in the whip). Also, I think a whip is a bit harsh for baby polar bears. If it was a full-grown one that could chop on here, I would agree then. Lastly, it would have looked better if you added items on her head and upper arms.
9. CompIiments – This was an interesting tektek; I liked the story with it. What I didn’t like was that you were saying that a 8 (or 10 when looking a bit farther in your story) is only wearing panties and a jacket. It’s just age inappropriate in my opinion and even if she was abandoned, she would be wearing torn up or dirtied clothes instead of the nice looking jacket. Besides that considered, it doesn’t look bad overall~
10. Karate chop kitten – I’m impressed how well everything matched; I thought they were all part of a set at first. But, I think this tektek needed a lot of accessories. Bracelets, tattoos, rings, earrings, necklace, maybe a belly gem if it worked, and some items on the head. If those were added in, it could have been pretty impressive~
11. Sakura Nashimara – I was sad when you changed the look of your tektek; I liked the look with the blue and black hair. This didn’t require many items and even less when seeing that one of them aren’t seen in the tektek. May not seem like much, but it is when only 9 items are considered. When I’m in a tektek contest, I aim for 20-30 items. That way it shows that there was a lot of consideration in it and not made in 5-10 minutes. Besides that, applying some of the dolphin’s colors would make it flow better.
12. Jesusgirl115 – Like Sakura, you had few items and even fewer with the knowledge that two of them aren’t visible in your tektek. The whole look flowed okay, but the shoes should have been the same color as the shirt (or had a bit of it in it). You could of accessorized a bit more with gloves, bracelets, earrings, a necklace, a belt, and a ring. With those items added in, you could have doubled your item count. Besides this, it was a cute look~
13. Uta Sumire – I really wished that you stuck with the look with the big tiger. For one, I don’t like the idea of whipping a baby tiger; it could barely do much harm to require a whip. Secondly, the bold colors of the baby tiger aren’t in your main tektek at all. You could have had more items in your tektek with some earrings, bracelets, a ring, something extra on her face, and tattoos on the legs. Once again, the big tiger would have gotten you up higher for me~
14. Omg123gabi – This tektek has the least amount of items used and even one of them (the little fish) doesn’t fit in with it too well. I’m not a fan of the goggles and you could have had tattoos, bracelets, rings, hair items, a necklace, and some items layered over and under the swimwear to bring some interest to it.
streets of nowhere
1.Zig Zag Zebra - A skillfully crafted tektek with a wonderful story I couldn't help but fall in love with.
2. Commonsense of BlindEyes - both well matched and very clearly following the theme.
3. Kiria Night - A good looking tektek, which has a definite "animal trainer" vibe.
4. BrokenJanders - a very well matched and pleasing tektek, but it seems like the skunk trainer is an afterthought not the main base theme.
5. CompIiments - A good theme basis but the result looks simple, more items would show better skills at matching and creating tekteks.
6. iiShexii_Mamiixs - a generally well thought out tektek, with a few inconsistencies in the colour matching.
7. karate chop kitten - a well matched tektek, but it seems a bit simple. More accessories would add some interest.
8. Sakura Nashimara - Whilst the area of the tektek clearly visible is very well put together the use of the background and water theme leaves very few items on the main body of the tektek.
9. TheDollxxHazuki - a good idea and good matching but the tektek itself doesn't stand out and the expression seems to have lead from a desire to add to the tektek rather than the story.
10. Uta Sumire - a cute tektek but the browns used aren't strongly matched and the blue eye sticks out giving a slightly awkward overall appearance.
11. Crazy_Cassidy15 - this tektek has a sort of realism to it, an outfit that could be found in a real life dog trainer, but with such a wide choice of items that would match and give a more pleasing look realism seems out of place.
12. jesusgirl115 - whilst this tektek clearly follows the theme it seems very basic and rushed in construction, not displaying the same level of skill others produced.
13. omg123gabi - this tektek has very few items, making it look hurriedly put together and not well thought out.
14. Huka-Boo - this is far too cluttered, it's hard to tell what's really going on here

1. Kiria Night ~ Very nice. I highly appreciate how you took the advice from both judges and fellow participants to heart and came up with this awesome tektek as a result.
2. BrokenJanders ~ Lovely entry. Great use of colours and very original. I would have given you first place, were it not for the fact that you were a bit late in posting it.
3. Commonsense of BlindEyes ~ Great use of the theme. The only thing that bothers me is that most of the black is near the leg area and most of the white near the head. I, for one, would have loved to see a bit more distribution of those colours, but other than that: good job!
4. iiShexii_Mamiixs ~ I still love this butterfly idea and I think that the edit looks great. However, the browns still don't match completely and since I'm kind of picky about matching, I decided to give you fourth place. I hope to see more of your work throughout this contest though!
5. jesusgirl115 ~ I dare say you're one of the more dedicated participants in this contest. I like how you made several entries and listened to advice from others. This tektek suits the theme perfectly, but it is in my opinion a bit simple. I would have loved to see some more blue and gold accents throughout the rest of the tektek. Still, nice work!
6. Zig Zag Zebra ~ Nice entry, but hopefully, you'll post the link next time too. As a judge, I'd like to see with what items you've worked. I like the bear, but in my opinion the theme is less obvious in your entry than it was in some entries of other participants. Nonetheless, it's a nice entry for the first round and I hope to see more of you.
7. Sakura Nashimara ~ Another dedicated participant. I admire how you found time to help out others, whilst working on your own entry at the same time. I dislike how the sea takes away most of the tektek, but in this case it suits your theme and I think you've done a good job on finding some nice, not to mention eye-catching accessories for her.
8. TheDollxxHazuki ~ Lovely idea and this edit looks great, but as a judge, I would have loved to see you use more items to compliment her look.
9. karate chop kitten ~ The blues still don't match entirely, but it looks better than before. Nice use of the handheld item and the background. Still, it would have been nice if you'd used some more items, like shoes, bracelets or a hair accessoiry.
10. CompIments ~ Good job at matching the colours, but as a judge I would have liked to see you use more items. Also I think that the theme is less obvious in your tektek.
11. Crazy_Cassidy15 ~ Nice take on the theme. I'm not that impressed with the final result though. I think you played it safe and that's why the tektek ended up being a bit, well, simple.
12. Uta Sumire ~ A nice idea, but there are so many different colours on this tektek and only some of them are matched throughout the avi. I am personally one for matching, so unfortunately I'm not liking this tektek too much... sorry.
13. Huka-Boo ~ It's a cute entry, but at the same time a huge mess. And for one who works in Alaska, she's not really wearing clothes for wintery weather.
14. omg123gabi ~ I can see the theme in your tektek, but other than that this tektek unfortunately doesn't really appeal to me. I would have liked to see more creativity.
Delicate Justice
1. iiShexii_Mamiixs - Gorgeous tektek! Really creative and different to use butterflies, at the same time it stays within the theme. Good choice of items.
2. Kiria Night - Really impressive tektek! Hyena is a really creative choice. Love how the colours are all matching "without effort" and looks great.
3. Zig Zag Zebra - Beautiful tektek! I really like the blue that you used, it brings the tektek to life! Although, in the tektek, it's not very obvious that Ayla is a bear-tamer, your "anecdote" has convinced me.
4. karate chop kitten - Great tektek! I like how your tektek, at a glance looks simple but upon closer inspection is very "deliberate". The eyes you used fit the description that she is a soul-stealer. The colours flow and your tektek doesn't look cluttered, which is very important.
5. Commonsense of BlindEyes - Good tektek! I love your idea. You're very creative in using coyotes. However, the tektek seems to lack flow. It's almost as though Lyra and the coyotes are separate entities. Otherwise, great job!
6. CompIiments - Good tektek! Good choice of animal and colours. Your tektek flows. It had great potential to be the top tektek in this challenge. I am somewhat confused as to how Eva, a young girl, looks so old in this tektek. I prefer if she was less scantily dressed.
7. BrokenJanders - Good tektek! Although I am not fond of the shade of pink that you have used, I appreciate the layering effect that you have tried to achieved. It's very creative of you to come up with a skunk trainer and your character looks the part.
8. Huka-Boo - I can see that a lot of effort has gone into this tektek. Unfortunately, I think it needs more work. The idea is there but there's not enough flow between the items that you have used. It's not cluttered per se but it looks like there are too many things going on in the tektek. Otherwise, good effort!
9. TheDollxxHazuki - I like the idea that you have used and your tektek definitely is funny. However, I found it hard to identify the animals that you have used as polar bears. You also need to work on Laura's outfit a bit more. Good effort!
10. jesusgirl115 - You went with the safe option. Your tektek doesn't look wonderful, neither does it look terrible. It's nice and simple. Good job but remember that if you want to win challenges, you'll have to be a lot more creative than that.
11. Sakura Nashimara - Your trainer looks great but I think that with the unlimited budget, you could have been more creative. Choosing dolphins really limits the amount of creativity that you could have shown us because the trainer is covered up to the waist in water. I think you can do much much better than that. Good effort.
12. Crazy_Cassidy15 - Unfortunately, I do not completely agree with your tektek. I don't feel that your trainer looks like a trainer. She could pass as someone who likes to dress up in pink and is taking the dogs for a walk. I know this sounds harsh and that you've probably worked hard on your tektek but you'll have to do more to win PRTV. I'm sure you have the ability to do a lot better.
13. Uta Sumire - I have to say that the arm tattoos really put me off this tektek. They really pop out and don't match with all the other items. I think with the "unlimited budget" that you were given you could have done better. Your tektek is a little bit flat. Try harder for the next challenge. I'm sure you can come up with a really great tektek to wow us.
14. omg123gabi - Unfortunately, I found your tektek the least creative of the lot. Working with dolphins really limit you. You haven't shown enough creativity in this challenge. Although it fits the theme very well, it's too simple and ordinary. I mean, you were given an "unlimited budget"! If you do stay in this competition, try harder for the next challenge and I'm sure you'll produce a great tektek.
