Pink Poogle Toy Forum

I've been too busy to make sets. Now that I'm on holiday, I'm home and without Photoshop. What else is there left to do but have a set contest?

The Rules:

- You can enter as many sets as you want.
- If you entered multiple sets, only one will win.
- I'll give you three weeks: unil January 4th (time subject to change depending on the number of entries).
- No holiday themes (i.e. seasonal sets are okay, but nothing to do with a particular holiday).

The Goodies:

- First place winners get 100,000 NP.
- Second place winners get 70,000 NP.
- Third place gets 40,000 NP.
- 1-3 runner ups (depending on the sets) will receive NPs and/or a nice item.

Some Hints:

- I'm looking for well put-together compositions.
- Creativity will definitly get you points (the more creative the better).
- Don't over do it (I like well placed minimalism), but I do love well placed complexity.
- If you choose to use a subtext, I like clever subtext as well as song lyrics (winkwink), famous quotes or poetry.
- I don't particularily like real people in my sets, but if you can do it well, it would be very much appreciated since I tend not to have people sets.
- Don't be afraid to be artsy and try something new.
- Don't be afraid to be offbeat.
- I also enjoy landscape and random things (like thunderstorms, pretty paintings, faeries, etc).
- I despise gratuitous animation, but well placed animation is welcome.

Stuff I Like (in no particular order):
- Bands: Pavement, The Arcade Fire, The Microphones, Modest Mouse, The Magnetic Fields, The Appleseed Cast (winkwink), Radiohead, Explosions in the Sky, Stellastarr, Shout Out Louds, The Beatles, Neutral Milk Hotel (winkwink)
- Celebrities: Thomas Kretschmann, Milla Jovovich, Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, Ian Mckellen, Hugh Laurie, Angelina Jolie, Cillian Murphy, vintage film stars
- Literary artists: E.E. Cummings, T.S. Eliot, Kurt Vonnegut, J.R.R. Tolkein, Albert Camus
- Colours: any, as long as they look good
- Anime and Manga: Revolutionary Girl Utena, CLAMP, Kaori Yuki (yum)
- Movies: Lord of the Rings, Amelie, Trainspotting, Amadeus, Princess Mononoke

You don't necessarly have to follow the guidelines. I might still pick a set that doesn't have anything that I've listed above if it's a really good set. If you have any questions about anything (preferably pertaining to the contest), ask away.


The Winners:

First Place - Moogie


Second Place - Koku


Third Place - Scholastic


Runners Up:

First - WIS


Second - Medusa


Third - bonita_00



Everyone gets a prize so PM me your Neopets SNs if you want one.

Edit: Disregard what's written above. Sorry. I thought I changed it. Anyway, make a trade for something useless and PM that link instead.

Bleh, it looks boring -.-

Not sure how this turned out because I'm doing it on a computer who's settings I haven't used before but I suppose I'll have to see once I get back to my usual computer. Anyways, enjoy!

Edit:
Wasn't sure if that one was a bit too "busy" so I made a simpler one - no subtext and uniform. If I can get some inspiration as to how to put the subtext on in another way later I'll post again.

Feel free to use one or the other or both, whatever you want.

Both entries look great. Thanks for entering. I'm hosting the images, so you can remove them from your servers if you want.

Wheee! This was so fun to make! I hope you like it, its so random!

I like random.

Like the others, I've put the set on my own server.

Zomg!

I'm going to go out on a limb here... and make you a House set.

I love that show!


Thanks for entering, bonita_00.

Lyk omg i will toooo!!111

And an anime set, 'cause you're cool and stuff.

I love Amelie so when I found a line art image of her, I couldn't resist.

Ooo. Thank you!

That made me laugh out loud!

Since I'm so bored, I just made a photomosaic set for you.
