About the Contest Alright, lets get things started, huh?
If you couldn't tell by the title, this is an Avatar Contest. Like most Avi Contests, you will be using TekTek.org to create an Avatar to fit the appropriate Theme that I 'graciously' challenge you with.
Once everyone's Submission has been turned in, they will be judged.
The Judging will be done on:
1) How well the Avatar Works With the Theme of That Challenge
2) How well the Colors Blend Together for the Avatar Itself (make sure the colors aren't randomly everywhere unless it looks good)
3) Originality of the Avatar
4) The Use of the Items
5) Extra (which will be the judges personal comments of the Avatar in Question)
More information about the Contest and how you can become a Contestant or a Judge are below. Please feel free to check it out. About the Contest -Rules-Contestants-Judges-Challenge-Submissions-Judging-Be A Part-Over all Scores

Look: It looks creepy. Kind of like a dark magician, or a shadow man. lol But It looks good and that's all this section is about. hehe Though there is a lot going on at once. That can sometimes be over whelming.
(9/10)
The Word:"expert or nimble in the use of the hands or body" Any magician would have to be skilled in such in order to pull of his or her illusion. I guess this isn't a bad when to example Adroit.
(10/10)
Item Usage: No repeats. Well done. ^^
(10/10)
Originality: Personally, when me and Phoenix went through the words, I didn't know what to expect. I like what you've done. 10
(10/10)
Extra: There are many ways you can portray Adroit. The first example in my head was Massage Therapist, but idk how you would show that with an Avi. Haha
(10/10)
Total: (49/50) ___________________________________________________________ Tamanta-chan
Look: Absolutely adorable!! I think the eyes might have been a little too much though.
(8/10)
The Word:"sweetly or innocently charming" I would consider this nailed. How else would you portray Winsome without a cute little girl in a meadow of flowers.
(10/10)
Item Usage: No repeats. Nicely done.
(10/10)
Originality: I think that when it comes to the thought of innocence and sweetly, it is a cute little girl. But it can't be helped. ^^
(10/10)
Extra: I can't really get over the eyes. They were just a little too much.And i'm not entirely sure why the pixie was even needed.
(9/10)
Total: (47/50) ___________________________________________________________ Babeison McGee
Look: He looks like an evil spoiled brat. haha If it wasn't for the candy.... The candy, though it prolly makes the word, it throws the avi off completely.
(8/10)
The Word:"bitterly or sneeringly distrustful, contemptuous, or pessimistic" I understand what you were going for. I'm not sure if it would have been the best approch. Personally, I probably would have went for a rich man not giving to the poor, rather than a kid not sharing his candy.
(7/10)
Item Usage: No repeats.
(10/10)
Originality: It's different. I do like it. And I already marked you down in 'Look' so you'll get a 10 here.
(10/10)
Extra: I think i've said all that had needed to be said on my part. ^^
(10/10)
Total: (45/50) ___________________________________________________________ Lacrimiya
Look: Prince Charming? You can tell what it is. hehe. Looks nothing like my Prince, but is any fairytale, Prince Charming is portrayed as such. It don't look bad.
(10/10)
The Word:"courteous, gracious, and having a sophisticated charm" Nailed like wood. Haha!
(10/10)
Item Usage: 2 Sugarsuites.
(8/10)
Originality: I can't say it's original when it looks like the same Prince in most fairytale. I'm sorry.
(6/10)
Extra: I really do like it.
(10/10)
Total: (44/50) ___________________________________________________________ KaosMoon
Look: He looks mean. And the hair do just compliments it so much. Hehe. I'm glad you used it.
(10/10)
The Word:"abrupt in manner; blunt; rough" Yeah, I think you covered it nicely.
(10/10)
Item Usage: No repeats.
(10/10)
Originality: I absolutely love it. It's not Demonic, it just bad. haha
(10/10)
Extra: Great!
(?10/10)
Total: (50/50) Phoenix Gerard BrokenMirrorsNeverLie
Look: It's definitely something that draws the attraction of the eye. It is very busy, so much that it takes more than usual to take in everything that is going on. That looks like it was the intended effect, however, so it works for it. There is a lot of background detail, which is also nice. The only thing I don't like is that the pants from the Loyal Cardinal look a bit off.
(9/10)
The Word: Adroit means "expert or nimble in the use of the hands or body." Obviously the profession of a magician would require such a thing and the display with the cards is further proof of the word. Well done!
(10/10)
Item Usage: The item usage is creative and well done.(10/10)
Originality: This is certainly an interesting and original take on the word. I wasn't sure of what you would do, but it has turned out well.
(10/10)
Extra: I don't really have anything else to add. I really just love the entire look of it (aside from those pants) and I would try to pull it off myself if I had the means to do so. ^^
(10/10)
Total: (49/50) ___________________________________________________________ Tamanta-Chan
Look:This is ridiculously sugary sweet, I'll admit. It looks very good though, and for the word, nothing looks too out of place. Although it could have probably done without those odd things from the Dewdrops item. It would have been perfectly simple and elegant without it.
(9/10)
The Word:Winsome means "sweetly or innocently charming." As I said before, this is very sweet looking and I think you've done wonderfully with it. This is a perfect example of the word!
(10/10)
Item Usage:You've used the items well.
(10/10)
Originality:While not the most original ideas concerning the word, it's still very pleasant to look at. Not to mention it's not as stereotypical as other things I've seen.
(8/10)
Extra:Those Dewdrops really are a distraction. Something like a kitten, bird, or puppy would have fit in much better and made more sense.
(9/10)
Total: (46/50) ___________________________________________________________ Babeison McGee
Look:I... I honestly don't know what to think of this. I think it would have looked much better without the candy, as it is far too bright compared to everything else. And it's not exactly spread out in a way to accentuate the look.
(8/10)
The Word:Cynical means "bitterly or sneeringly distrustful, contemptuous, or pessimistic." I can sort of see what you were trying to do, but I really cannot see the word in there. What you have just looks like a bully and not all bullies are necessarily cynical. Plus taking candy from a handicapped child is more brusque, than cynical.
(5/10)
Item Usage:The item usage is fine.
(10/10)
Originality:It's original, yes. It's an original take on the word, it just doesn't express it well.
(10/10)
Extra:I'm sorry, I can think of so many other approaches that could have been taken and I just feel like this wasn't quite right. I can definitely see that effort was put forth into it though, so I'll very well give you credit for trying.
(10/10)
Total: (43/50) ___________________________________________________________ Lacrimiya
Look:I really like how this looks! It's whimsical, yet it still contains the essence of the word you were trying to portray. I love the attention to detail that you put in. ^^
(10/10)
The Word:Debonair means "courteous, gracious, and having a sophisticated charm." You have most certainly gotten that down! This is a very charming entry.
(10/10)
Item Usage:I do think you could have worked your way around the two Sugarsuites, so it's a pity that you were unable to.
(8/10)
Originality:Well, he looks like a prince, which isn't the most original take an the word. It looks nice to me, though. ^^
(8/10)
Extra:I really am impressed with all of the detail you put into this. I just wish you could have done something about that Sugarsuite. Ah, well. It's still a good job!
(10/10)
Total: (46/50) ___________________________________________________________ KaosMoon
Look:This is very impressive! There is so much going on with this that I wouldn't have been able to spot it all without looking at all of the items. I think you've done a fantastic job!
(10/10)
The Word:Brusque means "abrupt in manner; blunt; rough." You've definitely done the word justice, there is no mistaking that.
(10/10)
Item Usage:You may not have repeated any items, but you did use a couple of items from a set - the Black Glamrock Belt and Black Glamrock Jeans.
(9/10)
Originality:This is definitely original coming from you, since you normally add something demonic to everything. I cannot stress how impressed I am by you doing something more natural and befitting of this challenge.
(10/10)
Extra:This is just very well done. You even have underwear under all of the clothes! That actually made me laugh.
