<img:stuff/2237_wiki_help_9y7vcgcflr5.jpg>


Welcome to the Elftown costume design contest. This is not a Halloween contest, but a chance to show your skills at costume design, and/or construction. So, shall we begin?

<img:stuff/2237_wiki_help_9y7vcgcflr5.jpg>


Theme:
Game costumes! What we want to see: Costumes adapted from, or designed for your favorite game, be it, a role-playing game, a video game, or any other sort of game. Take a photo of, or draw yourself dressed as a Dungeons and Dragons character, or draw a costume for the next Final Fantasy game, or a Gothic horror roleplaying game. It's up to you. Be creative, and have fun!

Rules:
1: As usual, all work must be your own. No matter how much you love someone's costume, or drawing, you may not enter it for them. Anyone entering copied or stolen work will have their entry deleted.

2: Photos only, in the photo section, and drawings only in the drawing section. The competitions are separate, so please post entries in the right section. 

3: No photomanips. We only want drawings or photos of costumes you design.

4: Any photo of a costume, must have you (the elftowner) in the costume, so we know it is your work. There should also be an additional image of either the half made costume, or a reference photo of yourself, so we can verify the work is your own. (I know this can be a pain, but photos are too easy to steal, and difficult to verify) No photo will be accepted without the additional photo. No exceptions, sorry.

5. 2 entries per member maximum.

<img:stuff/2237_wiki_help_9y7vcgcflr5.jpg>


Size:
Since the chosen images will be featured on Main Street, we would like to keep them fairly small. Your image should be no wider than 300 pixels and the height should be no more than 500. Be creative but please keep that in mind!

<img:stuff/2237_wiki_help_9y7vcgcflr5.jpg>


Deadline: 

June 30th 2005


<img:stuff/2237_wiki_help_9y7vcgcflr5.jpg>


How to post it here:
Add your image after the last one that has been already posted. Don't forget to write its title and your user name. For example:

1. "Title" - [insert user name]


Note:
Two Images will be chosen by the Council and the Assembly among all those presented. One winner will be chosen from each category (photos, and drawings).

8. Witch costume. [Kuruni]

<img:http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/Fabiola_Vargas/Design/DONEd.jpg>

I made it yesterday for another person, for a movie, but i thought it would look good on me before i give it away. My own design and i made it completely except for the boots and dagger, hehe. The robe was for the starwars episode 3 premiere.  Is for a AD and D fan movie.




9. Darth Zirja - [Talvikki] - my Dark Jedi character for Star Wars RPG - I made the robe way back when Star Wars was still respectable, for Episode I, and the armor for an SFF con last spring. Except for the gloves, bracelets and boots, I made everything (inc. pants and lightsaber) from scratch with some help from my dear mom.

The reference pics are me with just the armor at Balticon '04 and...heh...my bio pic from Elfwood.




10. Neko Ninja - [chipmunk01] - I used to RP with this character that I called Shadow, but I decided to make her into a costume this year, A stealth ninja from Lord Gohda's arms, a half cat half humanic character. Kinda does look like cat woman but it isn't! Don't be fooled, her bite is worse then her bark... I had to design every thing except the belt and collar which I had from my brother with. It has hidden runes and such in the pants scuffs.

the reference picture is the day we made the costume, my brother mesuring and my mom at the machine with the belt... Not much to go off of but I scrounged them up!




11. Princess Talia- [MoonDuck]

The costume for my Stargate SG-1 RPG Character

<img:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Draco911/crouchingwithknifesm21.jpg> This is the pic from my bio (verification)




13. High Elven Ambassador - [Nightshadow]
Original concept. No pre-designed patterns were used. The only thing purchased were the pants and small metal ornaments. (Necklace and on vambraces). Because I hate sewing pants, and Goodwill is handy. XP

2005-05-06 [maryanne]: I have a question. Do we have to make the entire costume ourselves from scratch, or would it count to compile a unique costume from various articles of clothing we did not actually make ourselves?

2005-05-06 [Linn Scarlett]: *searching for verification photos* blasted, wanted to add my Fantasy Fair 2005 costume, made it largely myself (my mom helped a bitt on the diffcult parts)

2005-05-06 [Sunny Silverunicorn]: Maryanne, I guess it's prefered if you have made the costume all by yourself/ It's also prefered if you get little help while making the costume.

2005-05-06 [Ihsahn]: council and assembly are not linked so i fixed it :)

2005-05-09 [do not exist]: can we post images with the costume from diffrent angles? and the verification photo , does it have to be non costumed(even if were in another costume)

2005-05-10 [Lerune]: I wouldn't see why you couldn't make a wiki with pictures of different angles, and link to it with your entry, putting the picture you like the most on this page, so as not to overload the page with graphics.

2005-05-10 [Sunny Silverunicorn]: People, please try to keep the size of your enteries normal (meaning not too huge!!), and your verification pics small!

2005-05-10 [Yuriona]: There... fixed that one. ^^ Please keep the images to 300 pixels wide <*img300:http:filelocation/filename.jpg*> works nicely. That will resize your entry but will enable others to click on it to see the larger version. ^^

2005-05-11 [shotokan_gal]: I was wondering about cluedo (the game itself was mentioned on the other page)... http://elftown.lysator.liu.se/stuff/cluedo.jpg is a pic of me and friends dressed up as the characters (I don't actually have the one of just me scanned yet), but because we didn't technically *make* the most part of the costumes, would it be allowed? (decided to move this post to the appropriate section)

2005-05-11 [Elmiira]: I like number 5 really much! :) The dress is so lovely!

2005-05-11 [~Altopia~]: It is lovely:)

2005-05-11 [Seyra]: Better photo now

2005-05-12 [Savien]:

DEADLINE EXTENDED

2005-05-14 [shotokan_gal]: *coughs* So was that a yes or a no? The rules don't actually specify (yet) whether the costumes have to be completely hand-made or not

2005-05-14 [Savien]: Sorry. No, they don't have to be completely hand made, but you can't have a completely store bought one either. It has to contain elements of your own design. Clear enough?

2005-05-14 [shotokan_gal]: Ok thanks for the reply :) mine probably doesn't qualify then, but still look forward to seeing more entries. *thinks: maybe I could do a drawing based on the photo/idea if I get time, unlikely though*

2005-05-21 [Kuruni]: There, i wish i could keep it, now i will have to make another one for myself.

2005-05-21 [Orouriel]: I so much love [Seyra]'s dress, Why can't I sew :-(

2005-05-22 [~Altopia~]: we cant sew either:( Our entry has no sewing..*laughs* ..It was soooo much fun dressing [farawaygone] up in plastic!!! We laughed so much!!!!

2005-05-23 [farawaygone]: Yes we did have a great time I'm plastic fantastic!!! haha.

2005-05-23 [Talvikki]: hey [Kuruni]...w00t for Star Wars fans with overactive imaginations! :b episode 3 was worth it though (finally). your costume is really neat btw :) do you do this often (making costumes for people)?

2005-05-24 [Kuruni]: Thanx!yep, as often as i can, i even have a contest here and the price will be something made by me. go inside my house and check it out. Perhaps someone coul help me to improve the contests, i suck at it.

2005-05-24 [Kuruni]: [Talvikki]..., that IS such an outfit!! congratulations!!!!

2005-05-24 [Kuruni]: And [Seyra]... you look like an elven princess.

2005-05-24 [Talvikki]: yes [Seyra]'s costume is absolutely gorgeous.

2005-05-24 [Talvikki]: okay! *scampers over to [Kuruni]'s house*

2005-05-25 [Kuruni]: yep, i have a large place where anyone can camp and sing in front of a fire and dance under the stars....

2005-05-25 [Seyra]: Awwwww !!! Thanks to you [Kuruni] and [Talvikki] !!!!

2005-05-29 [do not exist]: god half these entrys got me beat...

2005-06-01 [ceridwen]: [Tupile]'s is my favourite, though. All are gorgeous, though. But his is friggen icyhot! And I love the combo in [Matevus]'s costume though. Ah, if only I would get my butt up and learn to sew...

2005-06-02 [Tupile]: Thanks ceridwen. And here's a tip for ya... You don't need to sew if you're using duct tape!

2005-06-02 [~Altopia~]: ...or bubble wrap^^

2005-06-02 [Tupile]: Exactly ;) We should write a book about this... Costumes on a Budget: Alternative Materials

2005-06-02 [ceridwen]: Lol..Yes. i know all about duct tape products. Clayton and his duct tape stage... Well, I'm working on a drawing for the contest anyways. And I really would like to learn to sew. It makes the whole clothes thing a lot easier... ^.^

2005-06-02 [~Altopia~]: Platic bag bodices have'nt really taken off...oh I wish i could sew!!:P

2005-06-03 [kitty daemon]: It's not that hard, If you know someone with the machine they should be able to teach you the basics of using it and using a pattern makes everything alot easier. I learned when I was very young and you don't need to know everything all at once, just ask someone to help explain pattern instructions.

2005-06-03 [ceridwen]: I know. My mom sews. Or she used to a lot. I'm just too lazy to learn. Gah...

2005-06-04 [Lioness123]: I'm almost done my viking costume...it'll be up here soon!!

2005-06-04 [Linn Scarlett]: coolness :) ---i first wanted to submitt my valkyrie outfitt...but its like not much X_X

2005-06-04 [Linn Scarlett]: until when is the contest open? cause of my last outfitt i dont really have verify pictures of me making it :( but there is a new fantasy fest in august here, and iam gonna start on my costume for then half way this month or so

2005-06-07 [Jitter]: LMAO I love 7

2005-06-07 [Sunny Silverunicorn]: Linn, you've got until June 30th.

2005-06-12 [earthshelly]: Seyra i LOVE ur design its sooooo pretty i wish i could sew like that....its pretty!

2005-06-12 [ISK]: hmmm - i need a mask costume - i've made a few latex ones - hardly a costume though - sadly :(

2005-06-16 [Morganath]: so the verification pic is just a pic of who made it?

2005-06-16 [Miss.Kayree]: a pic of the person wearing it, i think.. to make sure it's not a model or anything...

2005-06-16 [maryanne]: it should be both the person wearing it, and the person who made it, which would be you.

2005-06-16 [Miss.Kayree]: yeah, good point..

2005-06-19 [Lioness123]: nice cat woman costume

2005-06-19 [chipmunk01]: its a neko ninja, not cat woman >.<

2005-07-06 [Miss.Kayree]: so.. errrr... where do we vote?

2005-07-06 [Nightshadow]: No one's closed it yet, dear. Once they do, some of the crew will most probably pick either the winners or a few for us to vote on. But probably the winners. ;)

2005-07-07 [Miss.Kayree]: ahh.. okay then.. thanks!

2005-07-19 [Savien]: Ok people read the news on MainStreet. The winners have been chosen, but we've worked up a little surprise to go along with this one.

2005-07-19 [Ishje]: Want.....to....have.....the.....catwoman....costume, well execpt for the catwomen costume there are a lot of other great costumes :D

2005-07-19 [shygurl]: talvikki... i love the costume

2005-07-28 [shotokan_gal]: [Morniemacar], the contest's closed, and has been for some time. *points to top of page* (shouldn't someone have password protected it seeing as it is?)

2005-08-06 [Talvikki]: winners already chosen? but i just voted... *confused*...btw, thanks [shygurl]

2005-08-06 [shotokan_gal]: I meant that it's closed for new submissions. The winners haven't been announced yet.

2005-10-07 [Dumpysaurus]: To anyone who may still be watching this page: The Halloween Hub needs some costume photos! Please take the time to add some of your pictures there, on the appropriate page. It'd be appreciated! n_n
