Kava's Ramblings
Insights, Observations, Scenes, Thoughts, and other miscellenous and etcetera from the mind of an online nut...
Clothing Challenge - Mages & Music
Rock out! *^.^* <- headphones!
Mrrrrrow~!

I finally got some rest last night, and am nearly finished with organizing the panels for Fanime - check out the listings here:
http://www.fanime.com/panels They're not complete yet, but a full listing should be up by the weekend!

Quote:
This is a holding place entry at the moment! xD; I swear on my ipod that before I sleep tonight this space will be edited to include images of all the mage avatars that I got, with witty... er.. okay, just rambling commentary from me on the avatars. User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


And now... ON to the mages!

Making a mage outfit was harder than I thought it would be. =O I managed a couple though!

I've done lots of magey outfits previously, but I tried to go with something different from what I had done before. I also really loved the celestial wrap cape when it came out, so I tried to use it. xD; I liked the second effort better than the first, but unfortunately I think it didn't quite work because Kava's eyes didn't match. User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. I'm unwilling to delete/recreate her avatar to make an outfit though. xD; It has to go with her as she is, or I fail.

Apparently... I fail? xp

Here they are!

Ambeekat, the NecromancerI really like this one. It's a little scary, but darkly beautiful.
Breyer, the Mage Um. I seem to have lost whatever it was in which he sent me what his theme was. gonk Breyer's got an eclectic look going here, it's not bad.
Rayinte, the Pyromancer Maybe I'm swayed by having read the Elemental Masters books by Mercedes Lackey recently, but... &3 for elemental fire mage.
VolvoKitten, the White Mage/MagicianWhat I love is... she looks like she's in the middle of casting magic.
VolvoKitten, Again? I'm not sure if this was meant to be another entry, but I spotted it and captured it. This one looks nearly like a priest. x3
Kava, the Dark Celestial Mage Whoo... here's me.
Kava, the Lunar Mage Annnd... my final all-out version. And yes, I did try out the ocula thing with it, but it didn't improve it.

Since I only had three participants this time... and it took me sooooo long to get it updated... I'm going to give letters to ALL of them! Uh huh. Yep. See, the rest of you missed out. ;p *chuckles*


The new theme... is music! What's your most musical avatar? x3 Be sure to include what type of music (genre or song) inspired your particular outfit, or what other musical theme you were going for. MOST importantly: Comment in this journal entry with your submission! Even if you don't submit until after I make another journal entry, I will still be coming back to this one to check on updates to the Challenge, so when you've got your Musical ava ready, come comment here!

I'll try to update in a week this time, but I'm making no guarantees. Fanime is just about a month away at this point, and since I'm convention staff, especially for Fanime, con time is really busy for me.

ALSO!
There'll be an extra prize this round for the first person to accurately guess what the fundmental change is that I made to my avatar this morning. User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. (Xya's not allowed to guess. xD) heart (Mr.Spooty wins this prize!)

A tip for those who'd like to try: Pick a theme and run with it. Your theme can be anything from trying to look like a certain musician you know of from anime/video games/etc.. to simply a particular color or style. The idea is to come up with a cool looking outfit that looks 'musical' AND fits your stated theme! And most of all, HAVE FUN! Be sure to tell me what your theme was when you show me your musical outfit, or I'll end up guessing! xD;

*working on the update* 'the mouth' isn't a very clear statement. xD; what about the mouth, exactly?

It's a smile instead of the basic closed-lips expression.

*passed out utterly exhausted last night when done with the journal update* That's right! xD; Now see, I asked someone on IM when I'd first done it, and they couldn't get it, even with hints.

Yet two of you knew right away. xd *amused* I'll have to send you a prize too, Spooty.

I'll send out all the prizes later today. Right now... gonna try for a lil' more sleep. @w@

Letters? That's very generous of you. heart

But... "not bad"??? Do you know how long I spent working on that? *tickle* wink

Music, huh? Hm.

I'll have to consider this one. <3

Pokay, I think I got something.

[color=white]
User ImageUser Image<--- I had "Swan Lake" stuck in my head while creating this avatar. The moon is fairly symbolic in it, and I tried for something elegant with good color balance...

After I uploaded it to Photobucket, suddenly I had a different song stuck in my head. "Singin' in the Rain." So I just HAD to add that as a sort of "secondary" humorous entry --->

I really like how the Sea Jewels look with the Lunar Hairstyle. I feel like I could walk on stage and sing in this outfit... or at least attend the opera and impress all of the socialites. Hee.

Breyer's avi is now dressed for enjoying a night at the symphony. smile

Oooooh. I like both of those. And Breyer.... that's your best one yet.

I totally spaced on the prizes the other day, since I fell asleep immediately after completing the editing of the entry, and then I haven't had time/computer access to be able to do it since, so I'll make sure I get those out soon!
