Such a short amount of time for a deadline. Kinda ridiculous. Oh well, good luck to everyone who is able to participate!!! :clap: :clap: Now let's see those user submitted official itemsssssss :heart_eyes:
Whitemoon
Are we allowed to make our designs traditionally, or does it have to be digital only? And where can we get the female and male HA bases, anyway?
Aynjell
I'm so excited for this xD Even though I can't art I love to see all the things people do
EmCee
Also why only one design that is user selected out of 10? That's so little ):
EmCee
So I think this is a great idea. I always have and will but I wish more notice was given. Not sure if there was another announcement but it might've allowed for more people to participate with a longer deadline.

I wish everyone the best of luck and can't wait to see what you design .
Digitalis
Damn. I want to try but at the time I’ve got nothing I could contribute :joy::sob:
PiplupMagby34
I'm a little confused about how this works... do we have to draw the items in Subeta style?
Britney
Oh myyyyy faces yas!?????
Krelian
I don't have a better software for draw ,good luck everyone :)
Kismet
Good luck to everyone who enters! I can't wait to see what ya'll come up with. ^_^

10 winning designs in the span of one week? Very optimistic.
But looking forward to the facial feature ones. :3

I do think this is a cool idea, but I also agree that at least two or three winners should be chosen by users.
Stiles
After the mess of last time, I thought this wouldn't happen again, but I'm glad it is. I'm looking forward to seeing everything and even voting. Would like to see another chance for artistically challenged people like me, to participate in something as well with a fun prize :) Bring in the dancing, I'm ready to swing with multiple partners.
Choco
One week? What a tight deadline..
Ambition
@Valiska
YES, you put it so very eloquently. I completely agree. I enjoy both both usually you cannot combine all the things you love into one item.
StarShadow
Very cool idea. Too bad I have no clue how to make a CW to get the achievement. But good luck to the rest of you. SO anxious for masquerade to start! ;)
Yoshi
Good luck to anyone who enters! I do hope any contests like this in the future allow for concept art and designs to be submitted. There are a lot of creative users who likely feel left out because they can't meet subeta's CW standards, myself included.
Bren
Looking forward to seeing what y'all come up with! So many talented artists on here! Good luck everyone!
placebo
i can't draw, but i can't wait to vote. :)
good luck everyone!
Thelma
I'm so happy you decided to do this again, it was one of the things I thought was a great idea, but it hasn't been used as often as it could be.
Anne
I hope there will be lots of cool noses! =D
Laurey
I agree that maybe having 2 or 3 user chosen winners instead of just one would be nice. But I also understand staff's reasoning for not having all of them user-chosen is to probably ensure some sort of variety, instead of ending up with all of the winners being slight variations of basically the same thing or something.

Ah well, I'm looking forward to seeing the entries and winners anyway. :)
Shawny
Ugh I wish I could draw.
Magic
Is this only for artists? Or could I submit my untalented little drawing of a good idea, aka with intent for the actual site artists to redraw it? Or like...does this already need to be a perfect, site-ready submission? =|
Opossun
Quick question, but are we allowed to share our process of drawing with friends and stuff? ;v; Like, showing the start of it and the final product? (Sorry for the noob question, i have 0 experience oof)
Valiska
Also, with all the kitty booties and ears floating around, it'd be nice to have some cat eyes that are not so freaky oversized you can't use them with normal noses or makeups. <3
Damon
I have ideas but no talent... or funds to commission people. Oh well. I can’t wait to see what those who enter come up with! :heart: Good luck!
Valiska
@Ambition Personally I think there should be at least 2 user-chosen winners, because there are two very different aesthetics in play that deserve their own categories.

If there's only one user-chosen winner, either those with a strong preference for historically-inspired ruffles and lace or those with a strong preference for candy-cyber-emo stuff are going to be disappointed. They don't always combine very well.

(I've wondered why there's not two shops, like there are for Survival, to showcase each aesthetic.)
Oasis
Yay! I'm so excited about this contest! I'm looking forward to the entries and the designs. I really hope one of them will involve those CW kitty bottoms like I've seen users wearing.
Kinky
Good luck the CW artists. Make some neato stuff for us this year, okay? Maybe look at the suggestions for masquerade listing in the forums? hint hint
Beren
@Julie so do I

I mean LIPS...
Julie
Man. I wish I could draw.
MagnusTheRed
Do they have to be 'features' as in... bodyparts? Clothes? No backgrounds or whatever? /puzzled
Beren
Mouths /lips would be something I have some ideas
but...
not an artist!

Good luck to our talented artists!
eye
Gotta get them lashes that double as industrial fans
demon
inb4 the eyes are all uguu desu big old eyelashes you can flap a person away with
Muerte
This is such short notice, iunno if I'll be able to do anything (simmer your applause, I still might).
But this is exciting. Y'all are so damned skilled and create such pretty items, I cannot wait to see what you do !
Trees
@Evy Maybe they could bring back the participation prizes in the Crystal Shop or Millionaire Centre after a while, so other uses have a chance to get them? We have a whole thread in the forums for hard-to-get items that were only rewarded once or something that we would like the chance to get again.
CynicalCrow
I personally am not quite talented enough to enter (as much as I'd like to be); but I'm.so exicted to see what everyone comes up with! Good luck, CW artists! <3

I also agree it'd be fun for us to pick 3 instead of 1!
Thundercracker
OH! Awesome!~ I look forward to seeing what the CW artists come up with! ^_^ Good luck everyone!
Ryuga
Looks like its time to try my hand at Tattoo CW's again. Guess my hiatus had to stop sometime
Evy
@Saint
Aww. :( I do understand, but it always makes me feel a bit "left out" of even just trying to get the goodies, as someone who can't draw, write, cook, ... at all.
Samwise
we should have more competitions for people with no talents like me :c
Evalynn
I've never made a CW, but I would really love to try. This sounds like a great opportunity to give it a shot! runs to drawing tablet
Saint
@Evy we would prefer if you didn't do that, it undermines the spirit of the contest! :(
Evy
Just for the sake of clarification: does "participation prize" mean for all entries that are submitted, or only the eligible ones that didn't end up in the top 10? Aka can the non-artists submit a stick figure with a skirt on to get the prize? :P
Raggy
Make me a bosom like Adriettes!
Trees
@METEORA I think it should start tomorrow or Saturday, and the winning items will be added in Wave 2
Saturnine
I wish I could draw to standard Subeta style :o does this mean Masq starts soon, or will we be waiting another week :o
Puncture
ooooo I can't wait to see what you all come up with!!
