EMERGENCY CODE: FASHION! (females)

[BIG OLAF]

I didn't get why you didn't see this coming.

But I did, which is exactly what you quoted. Me 'seeing it coming.'

But that's hardly on-topic.

I gotta say I like Cornelia the most. the clothes match the her character very well. there is a combat ready theme about it. I like Sizustar as much too because of her beautiful face.

I'm disappointing in the final 10 though. two almost fully pink characters?

I voted for Rouge, of course. Though I am lol'ing at how this competition progressed.

Sounded to me like you were thinking otherwise 0.o
I'm sorry.

On-topic is too mainstream anyways. +^_^+

Good luck for all contestants. And for some of the grumblers in here.. Maybe you should stop being annoyed, just because you did not get in the Top 10. It's a game, take it easy.

This. It's not the end of the world and it's only 6 people judging, they can't judge to everyones liking. Then again people always need to complain about something.

Heh, funny thing, I was originally considering Aiza for this but realized she didn't really stand out enough to really be worth entering. Seems I was right - someone else has already submitted a character with similar colors all around (black hair, red eyes, pale skin). Funny how that works out.

Then again, it seems folks are more interested in someone that's just cute or plainly attractive. Ah, well. Them's the breaks~

Voted based on halfway-realistic proportions and originality. Only one of them really struck that balance with me.

It doesn't feel like a true "fashion" contest to me simply because we don't have a lot of outfits yet. I saw very little originality with accessory/outfit/body paint combinations among these ten so I really couldn't vote based on that. I'd like to see this done maybe a year into the game's life so it'll actually feel like a fashion contest.

Not knocking your idea Tene, but I didn't get a real "fashion" vibe from any of this.

This is pretty much exactly how I felt about this when the thread appeared (the first one, with the males). I already knew it would be more about character appearance than anything else, since there's just not that much room for expression or creativity.

Also, obviously, any contest where people vote is purely a popularity contest. Whoever happens to have a design that appeals to more people wins by default.

I'm still amused that Teranu even got in the top 10, actually, considering how utterly niche she is (pure tomboy, almost qualifies for "reverse-trap" status).

[Asska]

Oh my, these people have great screenshot skills

and their characters also look very nice

nothing I'd hope to compete with *w*

Yeah, this is what I was getting at. It's not anyone's fault, and certainly not Tene's or any of the judges', it's just the nature of this sort of thing. I think you can diminish the popularity-voting factor somewhat once we have the ability to take more of a fashion-focus and be able to judge based on outfit combinations and such. That would be fun to me personally and I'd like to see a future iteration of this idea achieve that.
