Hoo Hoo! Okay loyal fans! Here's the moment you've all been waiting for... The contestants for TMSNG's Auspicious August Event!

For CATEGORY #1:
evasuna

evasuna

I also think that deep down inside, chiu loves bunnies so she'd be most likely to carry a plush bunny around. thats why shes holding it.

MSN net idol Chiu



Rei Sakurazaki

Setsuna Sakurazaki

___________________________________________

For CATEGORY #1.5:
Tatakai1

Asakura Kazumi



Ry Yuuki

Ry Yuuki

the scarab is the jacket badge, you can barely see on this picture, but since it's there~ and the necklace is the least...obtrusive...version of the ribbon tie they wear

Konoka Konoe
 

[SLJ]

Winner of Category #1: Rei Sakurazaki
Prize: 7000 gold

Winner of Category #1.5: Ry Yuuki
Prize: 5000 gold

______________________________

evasuna:
The avatar you made was cute, and creative on your part. You gave Chiu a bunny, which I agree, she would be holding. However, the one major flaw is that you dressed Chiu in a school girl uniform. Chisame Hasegawa would never want to associate herself with Chiu in public, let alone give anyone hints about her alter ego. If you wanted to imitate the net idol, you should have given her the same genre of clothes as seen in the picture you provided. Nice try though.
Even though you didn't win, I'm awarding you 1000 gold since you did participate. ^_^

Rei Sakurazaki:
An elegant, nice and simple match. I don't think it's possible to make an avatar any more similar to the Setsuna seen in the pactio card. I like how you used the petals to imitate the feathers. biggrin Great job!

______________________________

Tatakai1
Although it looks sort of like Kazumi, this avatar lacks originality. My judging criteria asked for:

SLJ

...creativity/combinations that you can make on tektek.

The school uniform you used on this tektek avatar was exactly that... A 'set' uniform.
Although, two things that I did like about this was the extra book, to match the notebook in the picture you provided + the expression on her face (since whenever I think of Kazumi, I picture her smiling with a camera).
Like evasuna, since you were 1 of the 2 that participated, I'm awarding you 500 gold for participating in this category. 3nodding

Ry Yuuki
A simple, yet complex look for Konoka. The vest blended it all together in my opinion. However, it was the Egyptian Gold Skinny Scarab Pin that was the most unique feature! Great idea for that and the Natural Coral Pendant. Very creative indeed! biggrin
