I love to see everyone's different takes on an outfit. And just for that reason, I've made this thread.
It's like how one person asks for help, and then people give many different suggestions. All of the suggestions would work, but the outcomes would look totally different.

This is kind of like the game where people take turns adding items to a tektek. However, in this game, you get to grab a half completed tektek and finish it just the way you like it. :}



How this works:
** New rule: One entry/tektek per person. If you make more than one tektek, please state which one is part of the contest. If you don't tell me which one to judge, all entries are disqualified.
1. Take this tektek and add items to complete the outfit.
2. You may add items like contacts, skins and wigs. You may not remove any of the items that are on the tektek I've posted.
3. Matching is preferred. What kind of items would you add to spread the colors around the avatar and make it balanced overall?
4. No price limit. No price minimum.
5. It would be too easy to complete an outfit if you use a set. The tektek may not have more than three items from one set. The tektek may not have more than two poses from any one item.
6. Try to be as true to Gaia's layering as possible. Just go with what looks right. If you know that two items won't equip together, only use one of them. (This also means that if I've added a skin to the tektek, you can't add a skin. Just an example.)
7. Try not to look at other people's completed tekteks. You might subconsciously copy other people's ideas. Make this your own.
8. Post your tektek! =D

9. And to make this into a challenge, I'll give a small (very small) prize to the version I like best. Think of it this way. You're just having fun making a tektek and there's a small chance you might get something. XD; It's mostly about rising to the challenge and seeing what you can make.
I like to be fair. I'd rather select the winner by poll. However, this is a slow guild and I'm not willing to wait that long.
Hint: I've already stated what I like. Matching. Spread colors as evenly as you can. To the best of your knowledge, base it on Gaia's layering system. I don't know how every single item layers, but I can make good guesses. Just make good guesses. ... And if you don't care about the prize, complete the avatar exactly how you'd like it. Any style. Who knows, I might like anything. xD
After a few posts are made, I'll eventually post a deadline. Again, this is a slow guild so I'm going to wait to see how this goes.

I'll eventually turn these into links so the thread doesn't get too cluttered. Until then, ...runway show! :3

This sounds fun. I'll give it a try smile

Edit: I know you said nothing could be removed...but does that apply to the bra/underwear?

Here's mine....

I put my own avatar there, but it goes to the tektek. Sorry if the layering isn't perfect...I'm horrible at that sort of thing...but I THINK they all work. Maybe not

Mine... link
I'm not really happy with it's balance along the avatar and it seems a bit predictable.

I should add more, but when I do it de-equips the kottan ball skirt -.-
PostPosted: Thu Jan 21, 2010 8:10 am


Yay. :3 So far so great~

ynatt; I put the default underwear on the avatar because it needed it at first. I guess it didn't register that the tektek no longer needed it.
You are allowed to remove the default underwear if you want to. I didn't say that in the rules since I thought too much info would be confusing. > <

YourAzureGoddess; Like how the skirt keeps disappearing on the tektek screen? XD That might have to be fixed with dream free.. but.. Yeah, if it'd be another item that's on the skirt layer, best not to add it. <.< >.>

Those goggles are really hard to match perfectly. There aren't really many items in the exact shade. You kind of have to act like it matches another shade of yellow or orange.

PS: I wanted to try making a non-matching avatar out of it. Because I suck at making them and these items seem like a good base for it.

When I did this one I wished so badly that Tek-Tek would let you do poses. I wanted to do the pose where the snitch is floating above her hand so badly. >.<

Overall I think I kind of like it.

I'm calling this challenge to an end. :} I'll do the necessary thinking-type-stuff tomorrow. I'm off to bed now.
