This is how judging is going to work this round:
#/5 Originality
#/5 General Appeal
#/5 Color usage/item layering
#/10 Theme/teamwork/how well the avis work together
Each person's avi will be judged individually on the first three things.
Then, the team's avis will be judged together for the final category on the rubric.
How the avis work together and how they worked together as a team is worth the most points for this round. And on that front people depend on their partner to not let them down because it could drag their score down and out. But this also means that just because they worked as a team they won't necessarily be granted immunity or be eliminated as a team. The pressure is on to be good individually and as a couple.
The teams:
( Crossed off and indigo means they submitted)
- ChiBi m0nkEy & Sexy_Top_Model
- DanJF & Ms Sadie
Birth by Sleep Lady Aqua & crazyanimefan
ivy the pixie & [danger woman ]
Tenshi654 & Neverar Ultima
S a r a L a n g & xXThe-PlumXx
-Le Chien Chat- & makoto_Gin
caramelangel & her imaginary friend.

Danjah and Ivy:  - - - 72/75
531/575[ Danger Woman ] I give you...
A Kappa who is in love with his dear, beloved Water meat! Longing for his love, he carries around a plush watermeat. When my partner is finished, her entry should be a watermeat inspired cosplay holding a plush of her lover, the kappa.
Note: Kappa's are usually naked so for the sake of young viewers, I added traditional Japanese clothing.
gray: 5.5.4.10=24 this is by far my favorite couple you obviously thought hard about what you were going to do and it came out quite well, the only thing i disaprove of is the brown in the outfit, it looks good but for a cosplay, even when you're trying to dress it up a bit i think you should have stuck to green. all though this is a plan avatar i think it was done exellently Navi: 5.5.4.10=24 This avi is instantly recognizable as a cosplay of the plushie. It's well done and looks phenomenal. It also works perfectly with its counter part. The entire concept behind these avis is adorable. marwolfer: 5.5.4.10=24 I agree with gray. The brown is weird. Otherwise this is the MOST adorable thing I have ever concept ever. ^.^ 69/75
481/575ivy the pixie cant remember if i sent it or not, if i did it was less then three minutes ago lol sorry for my s.t.m.l We keep eachothers plushies so we know that we can never be seperated, our love is strong and no one can break it. "i'll miss you kappa, but atleast i'll always have your plush" something along those lines is our theme gray: 5.5.5.10=25 though there are diffrent shades of blue in this avatar you did a great job of matching them all, i like that you used the blue stripe and the white body dye, it looks alot better than what i figured you'd do when danja sent the description in. i think its done well and its a cute cosplay of a watermeat. the whole idea of your couple is very adorable and origanal. good job! Navi: 5.3.3.10=21 The shape seems weird with this avi, and there are a lot of shades of blue complicating the look. I'd have been happier with it if it was mostly the angelic whitish blue with little touchs of other shades. And if the eyes weren't half blacked by the hair style. But it was still easily recognizable and like I said in Danjah's comments, it fits in perfectly with the other avi in the pair. You guys really did a great job. marwolfer: 5.4.4.10=23 I like this, but there is way too much blue. I know the watermeat looks blue, but I would have liked it better if it had been more of the white with blue tints to it rather than the actual color.

Sadie and Dan:  58/75
490/575 gray: 5.3.3.7=18 i dont think you guys worked together very well, and the theme is unsure all i got was gangs, pimps, and hobo's out of it, now to put the three together. it was poorly put together, and though i cant tell if it was the point to be ugly or not if it was you could have done it better, it looks a bit half assed and i expected you to have had something amazing. Navi: 5.4.4.8=21 It's very hard for me to pinpoint how I feel about this avi in particular. It fits the theme of the couple but not immediately. The similar qualitied, like the yellow and black general color scheme is obvious upon first glance but it took me a while to decide that she was the disgruntled wife who doesn't like her hubby with the whores. Once I made that story assumption in my head I warmed up to this avi quite a bit. marwolfer: 5.4.3.7=19 Once I read Navi's theory, your avis made a little bit of sense, but overall this just isn't working for me. As a couple, it's not bad but not as an individual piece.
57/75
490/575 Gray: 5.4.4.7=20 its obvious this guy is a pimp, so i dont see how he and sadie's avatar are a couple, he's smiling with two beautiful whores, and then theres just sadies avatar who looks like a hobo with a gun. is it an x wife thing? i think you could have worked together better and thought this through a little more. i think you're avatar is cute it matches but it doesnt fit the theme that well. Navi: 5.3.4.8=20 Someone looks happy. xD Aesthetically I don't really like this avi, but theme wise it's dead on as far as a pimp goes. I feel a little sorry for him and the girls he's with though, with Sadie's avi on her way to even the odds. Your couples makes me think of the Cellblock Tango from Chicago. marwolfer: 4.3.3.7=17 Okay. It's a pimp. Where's the originality behind that? I really wanted to see more from this, but it's unoriginal and kind of plain...

Chien and Gin:  63/75
494/575
Makoto_Gin
These are the outfits Le Chien and I are using for the couples contest.We decided to go with a heart theme and two parts of a whole represented as white and black.In a sense,you can say love is a balance of two parts like yin and yang,which you can allude to by looking at the outfits side by side.Anyway,hope you all like it.gray: 4.4.5.10=23 yin and yang is what i expected someone to do because in couple competitions someone always does yin and yang, and by now its gotten boaring. though i am glad you guys added an interesting twist to it, with all the red. good job but its still a tad yawn Navi: 4.2.4.10=20 You guys worked well together. There is no question that you planned well or that your avis go together as a couple. But that doesn't change how much I dislike the avis themselves. The item combo is weird and chunky (especially around the shoulders) and just in general wasn't terribly impressive. And I wish that it was all black and not chunky black/white. The white with the black disturbs the flow. marwolfer: 4.3.3.10=20 It looks amateur-ish in many ways. It's too chunky and blocky, and the colors jar with each other too much. It's understandable to want to make certain colors pop, but there are too many colors that stand out in this avy. 66/75
531/575 gray: 4.4.5.10=23 same note as what i said to you're partner, also id like to point out that you're layering is done nicely and you obviously talked over how you were going to do it./ Navi: 4.3.4.10=21 Save yourself some time and skip to the arrow if you've already read Gin's comments as I pasted them here for you; You guys worked well together. There is no question that you planned well or that your avis go together as a couple. But that doesn't change how much I dislike the avis themselves. ----> I liked your avi better than Gin's because the all white with the red and gold isn't as jarring on the eyes. It flows and looks better although I'm still not terribly fond of it. marwolfer: 4.4.4.10=22 No red by the feet makes me T.T It's nicer by far than your partner's, but still not incredibly fabulous. It's more visually appealing because the red is the color that really stands out instead of red/gold/white popping.

Chibi and Sexy:  49/75
470/575ChiBi m0nkEy This is the happy couple! It's just too bad that they want to kill each other! They fight about everything, don't sleep in the same bed, fantasize about stabbing each other everyday; and yet they'll keep going out with each other for the next 2 or 3 years! Pshhhh!! Good luck! I feel sorry for the neighbors... Gray: 4.3.3.9=19 i guess in the general theme this is a good avatar, but its really super plain and kind of boring, i also do not see how he is so bad a**? there are no layers and it doesnt match very well, you have you're blacks then orange, bronze and gray. aswell as the faint brown from the cig. there is no wow and its quite safe and boring. Navi: 3.2.3.7=15 This avi is very plain, the colors and items are simple and unexciting. It's just a little too simplistic. It does fit with the other in the couple, though most noticeably because of the mood bubble since there weren't really many colors used. marwolfer: 4.3.2.6=15 I feel like any noob with a little gold could have come up with this. Although I'm running the risk of sounding like a parrot, I just find this too plain and boring. There's a difference between simplicity and plain. 59/75
510/575 gray: 5.4.5.9=23 i think the colors and layering are done well in this one, she truly looks bad a**, and the layering is done well the tie disteracts me and i think you could have replaced it with the prom bowtie but other than that i think its pretty good, i think you should have helped you partner out a bit though. Navi: 4.3.4.7=18 I like that you chose a color scheme and stuck with it with the purple/black/white. It looks good, though that sort of works against you theme wise with your partner. The punk theme (which I think is a bit off set by the pandy pack, which seems far too cute and young for your avi) and the mood bubble don't seem like great linking factors. Colors on top of that would have helped. Luckily, when put next to each other, it's easy to tell they were supposed to be a couple. marwolfer: 4.4.4.6=18 Admittedly, this is much better than your partners, but I still can't get past the fact that they don't go together cohesively. I will admit that I am pleased to note that the zoot suit tie looks pale purple when paired like that. It makes me happy when certain colors can look different when put next to the right color.

Tenshi and Nev: and 
62/75
504/575 Here they are!
Sol and Luna, Lovers across time, The ancient Intertwined hearts....The two, who loved each other so strongly, the gods set them in the sky together. To celebrate this occasion, the people of the Sun and Moon tribe look for the male and female incarnates, and marry them off. The male, the leader, the strong and Warrior. The female, the wise, the caring and Mage. This is the only marriage of the tribes, and the people selected are the Incarnate of the Sol and Luna. This year, Soleshi and Lunerar (x'D) were recognized as the incarnates. Indeed they were directly in love, for they oft sneaked out with each other, and had midnight romances. So now their wedding day is here, They have put on their best ceremonial clothes, and walk up to the altar.......
gray:5.3.4.8=22 When i see the guy he looks young but the girl apears to be an old, elderly woman. she doesnt really go with the guy that well because of that, when tenshi first sent in his entry saying how you guys were doing solar and luner avatars i figured you were making a lunar godess, i cant take any points off because of that, but i do think that would have been better than an old woman. Navi: 4.4.4.6=18 A black veil on a wedding day? That seems a bit morbid... I don't much like the black, even though I realize it's there to represent the dark side of the moon, but it takes away from the white/light airy moony feel of the rest of the avi some. As a team, I think the avis are poorly suited to each other. Yours is old, traditonal, and nun-like whereas Tenshi's seems young, Haiwaiian-like, and modern. marwolfer: 5.4.4.9=22 She doesn't necessarily look older to me, just darker, as the moon should be. My favorite of the whole bunch so far. 56/75
481/575Tenshi654 ok here is my entry... and im the sun and my partner is the moon, its suppose to be an opposites attract theme gray: 5.3.4.8=20 I think that its a bit sloppy, and the layering isint as good as it could have been, i think for the most part you did a good job of potraying the sun, the water wings throw me off a bit but i like the shades, it does apear to be missing something Navi: 4.3.3.6=16 The layering is weird on this avi and the colors are are slightly off hue from each other, which is distracting to the eye. I would have liked to see a bit more gold to this avi. As a team, I think the avis are poorly suited to each other. Yours is young, Haiwaiian-like, and modern whereas Nev's seems old, traditonal, and nun-like. marwolfer: 5.3.3.9=20 The layering makes me want to cry. It looks like a big pile of orange and red, not like I imagine the sun at all...

Sara and Plum: and  70/75
497/575xXThe-PlumXx
[The Prince]
Gray: 5.5.4.10=24 your team work definatley the best i've looked over so far, im glad that you held back from using the enchanted book items, and for the most part this is a fanomonal avatar, the layering is average and you could have done something to match the green on the crown, other wise this is great. Navi: 4.5.4.10=23 This is very solidly themed as a prince. I love the monochromatic scheme between you and your partner. It's eye catching and puts the focus more on the theme than anything else. The tiny dot of green in the crown irks me, but I'm being nitpicky there. marwolfer: 4.5.4.10=23 I really like this as a set. Not only do they match by themselves, but they match each other. The teamwork is impeccable. The green doesn't bother me, but the pants do... they're too faded. 68/75
508/575- S a r a L a n g - [The Princess] gray: 4.5.5.10=24 this is great sara, this is my second favorite entry of you'res (my favorite is your first entry) but you did a great job of not only matching and working well with your partner but you used those items very well, i think that the only thing i would have changed is the skirt, along with the rest of the dress it looks kind of setish with the silver thing, and i think the imperial queen dress would have worked nicely, then again that has blue.... well i do think you could have found a diffrent skirt, but regardless this is a great avatar good job! Navi: 4.5.3.10=22 Your couple seems like a prince and princess out of a Russian fairy tale with the snow and fur and generally darker colors. On yours I feel like the colors aren't very well distributed but it still works well as the counter part to the prince. marwolfer: 4.5.3.10=22 This works well within the theme, but I would have liked darker colors on this one to match the prince.

CaramelAngel And herself: and  68/75
507/575CaramelAngel This idea sprung from the thought of the assassin/spy couple cliche. I did an interracial couple because I'm in one now (and it's great!). So in a weird/cheesy way these entries kinda symbolize my boyfriend and I if we were assassin/spies! sweatdrop xd gray: 5.4.4.10=23 i think the white should have been silver and the light gray pants stick out and dont match much Navi: 4.4.4.10= 22 Mr. and Mrs. Smith, anyone? xd Some of the colors are a bit off with this avi. Like the blue tinted hair and too grey pants. The torso is cluttered but it fits the theme very well. I love the GO item sound waves being used. marwolfer: 5.4.4.10=23 I like the idea behind it, but the white of the shirt and the gray of the pants stick out too much. Had that been changed, this would work. A note from the judges: Because Caramel had to work alone we opted to judge both her avis and throwing out the one with the lowest score.
66/75 gray: 5.4.4.10-23
same thing i said about the guy except with the skirt also the shoes to not work but i like the torso layers
Navi:
4.3.4.10=21
I have the same sort of problems as I had with the first avi as far as colors go. The hair isn't straight black or grey. I don't like the layering on the feet and the torso looks too crowded. But this one fits perfectly with the other. You did a great job for having to work alone this challenge.
marwolfer: 5.4.3.10=22
Eh, same. You match each other, but there are some layering and coloring issues that need to be resolved.

Crazy and Lady: and  54/75
453/575Birth by Sleep Lady Aqua Each of us need a type of Rainbow
Filling our skies and lives with different and varies colors.
Symbolizing a light and such a rainbow you are.
A heart of mine which I need when I can't look up,
To face the world and you holfing the key to my heart.
That's why you are my rainbow that glows when I appear faded.
So now you know that I am empty and drained with a rainbow like you.
My Rainbow of Life. gray:5.2.2.7=16 im sorry lady, but this avatar blows. when i look at the two avatars and i compare them it seams crazy did alot better than you did, in her avatar you can see the colors spreading from one shade untill they get the lightest at the bottom, but in you're its just layered like a parfet. green goes on top, blue in the middle and purple down below. they arent spread or joined in any way, at the top and middle you even seperated them and left bare skin which doesnt go with anything, i think with a better job of layering you could have been able to use green dye without a problem. Navi: 5.3.2.10=20 I'm not a huge fan of the negative space the normal skin tone leaves. It would have been cool if you had covered the arms all the way in blue and then used the green body dye. The different shades in the avi are a little distracting. They don't blend well so I keep finding myself paying more attention to the items than the color scheme. marwolfer: 5.3.2.8=18 I luff this theme idea! w00w00! But your shades of each individual color neither flow nor match. You need one or the other. Also, like Navi, the skin bothers me.
61/75
480/575 gray: 5.3.4.7=19 if you read your partners comments you will see that i did like your's best of the two, but im not in love, the shorts are distracting, and though i can tell you were trying to convert the two colors i think the waist needs a belt to just get a bit ready for that change. otherwise i'd say good avatar. Navi: 5.4.4.10=23 I really love how your avis fit together. The rainbow being complete when they're together is adorable. I think your avi is the stronger of the two. The only thing that bothers me is the red tie being in the otherwise completely orange part of the avi... and how much of the orange face you let show in the red section. marwolfer: 5.3.3.8=19 I like how your shades flow from top to bottom but it's not that appealing to look at.
