Once upon a time in a land far far away Rubyeclipse gave the tumblr team of Adventure is Delicious each 1000 ce to spend on a contest. So, without further adieu...

Welcome to Inkling! This isn't going to be some normal meet-in-game-and-lag-out-together or a simple "submit your pics" fashion contest. This contest is going to be based on ideas, because after all, ideas are the basis of any fantastic outfit.

First Dates!.... I mean the number kind...
Starting: Today! Right now!
Ending: October 13th @ 12:00pm PST
Judging will start at 12:00pm and continue till a decision is reached, probably TBA the next day :D

The Rundown
In a nutshell what we'll be doing is simply: Create a "set" of outfits using one complete armor line (From 2* to 5*) and either the AH preview or spiral spy. For example:

Obviously, I snazzed up my "entry" and in this competition please do! Think of it as if you were pitching your ideas to a board of critics (because you are ;D). You want to submit your most awesome work. Here are some other things to keep in mind...

Rules, Guidelines, & Tips
1) You must use one full armor line from 2* to 5*. If there are multiple options for 5*, ie. Demo line, choose one. The recolor promos don't really count for anything, but if you want to do an extra outfit then more power to you!
*You can totally mix and match if you wish! You only need one part of your outfit to be the full line (ie. hat or armor- doesnt have to be both)
2) You must use the same personal color throughout.
*If you look at my "entry" You'll notice that the gold/yellow outfit's personal color isn't blue like the others... oops... that's a point deduction!
3) You must own one of the outfits.
4) You may not use the same combination of accessories throughout, each outfit should be different
*At the same time, any way you want to connect your outfits will increase your score, for example, using all types of helm side accessories bar one
5) You may use different positions in Spiral Spy to make your presentation look more polished, however please don't use positions that obstruct your outfit or its parts (click here: http://i.imgur.com/1nKo7.png)
*Try to find a view that shows off all the accessories you use on your outfits rather than multiple views. This saves space and time.
6) You don't have to connect all your images into one, however that is preferred as it makes the judges' jobs easier.
7) You may only use Spiral Spy or the Game Preview- As cool as it would be to draw your outfits or use a different type of method to show off your ideas, it's much easier this way for us non-talented people

Prize
1000 ce for First Place
[other prizes TBA]

Thanks!

Hmm

So we can't use any armour/helm line that doesn't have a full 2-5* line? Examples, Gunslinger gear & Seerus masks?

Well, the idea was for the

Well, the idea was for the entries to be even so judging them on the same scale becomes a lot more possible. You can absolutely still use gunslinger or seerus, but you must have your helm or armor be one full line. (For example, demos with one on gunslinger or skelly with a seerus mask)
Good question nonetheless,

Entry!

I'm putting it on my tumblr cause I was having issues editing them nicely into one file... I have picked the Magic Hood line, running through to the Chaos Cowl. I may at some point go do the Promo hoods too, this was fun XD

entry!

I am also putting my entry on Tumblr, because I don't feel like bumbling through Paint to get all this on one page, and I didn't use SpiralSpy anyway so they aren't all fancy. I am thinking mine will mostly be too similar to win anything anyway, but I still wanted to show my support :P

Entry here.

Red, let me know if you want me to pick just one of my 3-star ones. I figured since I did two five stars for fun two 3-stars could be okay too XD But I understand if for judging purposes you just want one.

(Also, I used an item that isn't an accessory in-game, but is in the folder. Which is the hood for the Magic line, tot sure how that'll roll over, however, I just want to do this for the fun of it.

Entry! :D

My entry using the Magic line. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maxqs8b24A1rxcce8o1_500.png
Fun fact: I started working before remembering that there's a prize, and I should check to see what it was.
P.S. My entry seems like a Yin-Yang thing with Cobalt's. Totally not intended.

THIS IS NO LONGER MY FINAL ENTRY! (I'm leaving it up in case anyone wants to see it, still. xD)

hmmhhm

I thought for this contest you just had to use a 2*-5* helm OR armour, like Vifig and I have done, but both Kellnox & Cobalt have used 2*-5* helm AND armour.... I hope I did it right?
Also....
Azkaellion giggles that all posts so far have been from SK tumblr people XD

These are amaaaazing 0.0

These are amazing! Keep up the awesome work x)

@Azk: You're totally fine ;D I would've told you if you hadn't gotten it right. I think the Kell and Cobalt just had the same idea!

So just checking, only either

So just checking, only either the helm or the armour has to be followed through as a line, while the other piece can be anything, correct? Cos even though that was basically just asked and answered idk if I read it right.

Vifig's picture
Vifig

Yup, Inco <3 You just gotta pick one piece to follow through :3

Kellnox's picture
Kellnox
Oh.

Well, I thought both had to be from the same set. Oops! Would've done Plate and Drake. xD

Ev'rehday I'm Tumblrin'. *do do do do dododo do dodo do do do do!*

I'd love to see someone use all the total war things! ;) Just an idea

Lol, Red, would that count as a 'line,' or is that a challenge in addition the lines XD

Redfevrier's picture
Redfevrier
Mmm I think that it could be

Mmm I think that it could be almost considered a line in itself as there are 4 (ie. laurels, shogun, medieval, tricorn) just like a hat line would usually be. However, we really tried to leave the creative door open for this contest so feel free to use them any way you want and ask for permission later XD

Well I hope some more entries are just hiding out there unsubmitted...

When're the rewards being rewarded?

Not to rush the judging, but when do you think it'll be announced? I'm really interested to see who wins! Again, don't rush and disqualify any last-minute contestants (not naming any names, here).

@Incooo: You still have 3

@Incooo: You still have 3 hours left ;)
@Kell: I'm not exactly sure- just as long as it takes for the team to come to a decision. Will almost definitely be tomorrow!

Forum date-mark said the 14th and I mistakenly thought you were going by that. Had to sleep anyway.

If Incoherrant isn't getting sneaked into the judging last-minute, you should at least give honorable mention. Her outfits are really cool. :o

@Kell and Innnnccooo:I think we should sneak her in, what do you think team? *Aid team whispers: Yes, yes we should* So yeah, we are ;)

Contest is now closed & submitted entries are under review!

I don't think it's sneaking so much, when I woke up the contest still technically said '3 hours left' and Inco'd already posted :P <3

Yay!

Inco got lucky. Good luck, everyone! xD

(Note: I had no idea that Incoherrant was a girl. There's no way to tell. D:)

Woo, thanks Red+team. c: And thanks for the compliment, Kellnox. :D

As for the him/her thing, don't worry about it. I don't mind. \o/

... Forgot to mention, but I own the Ironmight one (and the parts for the Boosted, Volcanic and Ancient).

@Vifig: :D
@Isekuube: Aww. Thanks! Good luck to everyone from me as well! And what do you mean by THE Demo suit costume?
@Incoherrant: Okay. :D

Also, thanks to Inco for reminding me to mention which costume I own from my submission. It's the Heavy/Steam Knight one, minus the Comm Unit. I still need to get one of those.

Alright!

Alright alright so I think it's been enough time of procrastination XD Time to announce the winners! Drumroll please!
*brrrrrrr**drummm*
1) Raphael Sabrewing!
His entry was chosen the most among the AiD members as their top pick as well as each outfit being extremely pleasintg. There was a high level of unity, where it definitely looked like a set, however each outfit also had the uniqueness to be worn on its own. Very well done :)

2) Two people take second place for a multitude of reasons: Vi & Incoo!
Both of you did a very nice job with your entries, but your numerical scores suffered a little because either one outfit didn't sit with us well, or there were tiny flaws that instituted a deduction

& Finally... taking third place...

3) Cobalt
3) Azkaellion
3) Kellnox

Putting everyone in places was extremely difficult and all of the entries really were very very nice. Thank you all who participated! This was buckets of fun :)

Oh kewl, judging happened.

Oh kewl, judging happened. Gratz to Raph, his set was definitely high quality. :)

Any chance of actually hearing what the judges thought of the various entries? Even if not, thank you for running this.
