Guild Wars 2

Hello there! I’m doing a forum-based Halloween Fashion contest with the help of my fellow judges, Moonlit and Chesh. Named after that mischievous asuran Taimi.

The details are as follows. Have fun with it!

PRIZES (Change: Tested sending items. This is now open to EU entries.)
1st:
Mini Zuzu, Cat of Darkness
Blood Dye
5 Transmutation Charges

2nd:
Ash Dye
5 Globs of Ectoplasm

3rd:
Quaggan Killer Whale Backpack Cover

SUBMISSION RULES

- Entries should be in 3 screenshots: Front view, back view, and side view (either side will do).
- This is NOT a screenshot contest – we’re only using screenshots to see what you put together. Your goal should be to provide screenshots that best show what your composition looks like.
- “Preview” entries are disqualified. (That means no previewing items and submitting that as your composition. Note that you CAN use the Hero Panel to take your screenshots, as long we can tell that your composition is not made from previewing. This is to encourage people to create outfits that they will use for Halloween, rather than outfits that they can’t use but that look cool.)
- One entry per person. (If you find you are unsatisfied with your initial submission, you can overwrite your first submission with a new submission ONCE. This will count as your single entry. If you post a second entry, we will assume that it is your intended submission and ignore the first one. NOTE: If you wish for your entry to be group themed, i.e. a compilation of Sailor Moon characters, this is allowed. It will count as your single entry.)

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM JUDGING

Compositions will be judged on three criteria, with ratings from 1 to 10 (note that you will not see your actual rating — you will only see whether you won a prize) -
Theme: Does the composition have a clear theme? If so, how well does it exemplify that theme? (themes are anything from looking like a Nurse to looking like Captain Jack Sparrow to looking like an Axe Murderer)
Originality: Does the composition stand out from other entries, in design choices and/or theme choices? (e.g. are you the 15th Sailor Moon? If so, have you at least done it uniquely compared to other entries?)
Appeal: Is the composition pleasing to look at? Are colors and clothing types combined well? (for example, using a hodgepodge of mismatching colors will likely get a poor rating, unless you manage to make the hodgepodge work in a way that is pleasing to the eye)

Submission Period: Submissions will close at 11:59pm on October 30th, Eastern Time.

Winning: Winners will be announced on November 3rd Eastern or earlier, depending on availability of judges’ time. If there are delays in getting entries judged, I will mention it in the thread. Prizes will be delivered after the winners are announced.

Now open to EU entries. Tested sending items. Thanks, Chesh, for your help with that.

i’ll go !

more screens to follow .

i’ll edit this post til i have 3

Theme: skulls , fire , scarryness
Originality: as original as a pile of flaming skulls
Appeal:antiappealing

Why not? XD Might as well poke some threads on here and have some fun. I included the visuals of the gear on the left so you could see his equipped armor.

Theme? Just Halloween scary? Haha. Charr grr!!

Here’s my entry.

Some say you’re handicapped as a charr, and you can only stick to whole sets.
I disagree and love to mix n match an outfit for every season :P

Being a charr, it matters a ton if your weapon is sheathed or not, so I included a pic of that as well, so 6 pics in total. If you aren’t okay with this, just count the unsheated pics as my entry, eventhough it shouldn’t matter that much.

Apologies for not cropping the screenshots.

I’m Raphael, one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! I used 5 transmutes putting this together XD

I used this for reference.

Well, this is a skin that i’ve actually been using on my thief for a while:

Since in we try to use fantasy themes in real life… i guess in a fantasy world it would be the opposite

The theme is basically looking out of place!
Like if a guy from our world was teleported into the game.

Even the weapons are things that i’d be able to use in real life, like the slingshot.

Woah Rauven, how did you get those textures for the jeans and such? I’ve never seen those in game, that’s awesome!

Zelda.1739:

Woah Rauven, how did you get those textures for the jeans and such? I’ve never seen those in game, that’s awesome!

i’m using the stalker’s pants with iron dye (for that darker blue jeans) but any dye will work since the texture of those pants is really good, it will always look like jeans.

Thanks for your entries.

Given the limited number of them and the fact that some people are showing up with them at the last minute, I’m going to extend the deadline to Sunday, in the afternoon: November 1st at 1pm Eastern Standard Time.

So if you want to squeeze in an entry, you’ve still got some time. That gives you roughly 24 hours from now.

Thanks for your interest and participation. Loving the creativity!

Submissions are closed. Once again, thank you for your entries. Results will be in a couple of days, assuming judge availability does not pose any problems.

Thanks.

Thanks again for your entries! They were all a joy to review. And thank you to my two volunteers, Moonlit and Chesh, for helping judge as well as advise.

The results are in. Drumroll please…

1st place goes to Rauven!

2nd place to Zelda!

3rd to Streamstrider!

Your prizes will be mailed to you shortly. If you don’t see your prize(s) within 24 hours, please send me a PM and we’ll see what’s what.

Thank you for the fun contest! I enjoyed playing around with the colors. Congrats to the other winners!
