RANDOM AVATAR CHALLENGE!
Hello, Everyone! I'm excited to be starting as a crew member in Avatar Alley--playing around with avatars is one of my favorite things to do on Gaia, so I decided it would be cool to start Random Avatar Challenges.
How are Random Avatar Challenges different from the weekly contest? Well . . . there aren't any prizes. ninja But because there's no prize, anyone can submit a work in progress (or more than one work in progress) and ask for feedback and ideas. (examples: "I really like the background, but I think it might distract from my avatar too much." or "Does anyone know of any better shoes than these?" )
At the end of each challenge, each participant can pick the entry (if any) that they would like to be memorialized in the Random Avatar Challenge Gallery in the Closet Subforum (what, you didn't know about the closet subforum? Go check it out!)
Ground rules for all Challenges:
1) You can use your inventory or use the Avatar Builder. (These challenges are about practice and creativity, not the contents of your inventory, but if you feel more careful using your regular inventory, that's fine, since we're not doing a contest biggrin )
2) If you select an entry for inclusion in the Random Avatar Challenge gallery, please pick a specific pose from the Avatar Builder's slideshow that you want me to feature, if you used the Avatar Builder (I want to include as many people as possible)
3) When giving feedback to other people's entries, please keep things as factual as possible (i.e. "The background distracts from your avi" or "I'm not sure what, but there's something about the lower left hand corner that seems a bit off") Also please take into account what the person who posted the entry says about the feedback they'd like to receive, or the effect they were going for.
I've reserved the next couple posts for the current challenge plus any necessary expansion. I hope you all have fun flexing your avatar-making skills!
