Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hey y'all! I love avi contests, and I thought it would be fun to make a little low-stakes competition here; the prizes won't be huge, but it will hopefully still be fun!

But, this can't just be a normal avi competition! There has to be a little pizazz to it! So, as a running theme for this contest (for as long as I keep it running, or run out of ideas), we will be focusing on less popular color schemes!

Each round, a rare/unpopular color scheme will be picked. The contestants must build an avi using this color scheme. To make this a little easier, since many of these rare schemes have very few items, the specific colors/shades that make up the scheme will also be listed so that contestants can find more items to build an avatar that fits the scheme. The winners will be decided by popular vote.

---1 ) Contestants must build an avatar around the specific color scheme, either with items specifically fitting that scheme, or items/poses using the specific shades of each color listed (IE; if a color scheme calls for "Albertine pink," you cannot use "Coral pink." But if you find an item that includes "Albertine pink," and one of the poses showcases only that color so that it still works with the theme, that's allowed!)
---2 ) You may only use an item once in the outfit - no repeats, no using different poses of the same item!!
---3 ) "Colorless" items are totally allowed; meaning items that don't have a color scheme, such as talker items (like "Sweet Talker") or bare arm items (like "Natural Arms"), can be used in your avi. This also includes blush/contour items, but only as long as they appear to fit the theme - as in they don't have to be an exact shade, but they have to still match the color scheme visually, i.e. no green blush in a color scheme that doesn't include green.
---4 ) You may use body mods from items that don't fit the color scheme, as long as no "incorrect" colors are visible; for example, if an item gives the perfect cleavage/arm pose/leg mod/etc. for your avatar, but it uses red and the color scheme only uses blue and black, you may still use the body mod pose AS LONG AS there's no red showing.
---5 ) Contestants may have 2 entries! If a contestant gives a second entry, it will be added to their entries in the post below.
---6 ) Any avatar entries that do not follow those two rules will not be recognized as part of the contest, and votes for them will not be counted!
---7 ) No voting for yourself! You must vote for another person's entry, if you wish to vote at all (if you enter the compitetion, it is not required for you to vote, but it would be helpful to keep the contest moving).
---8 ) Each person may only vote once. You do not have to be a part of the competition to vote - anyone can vote, but only once!
---8 ) Any votes that do not follow these rules will not be counted!



(Please let me know if any of this is confusing, and I will edit this post and/or add examples to make it more understandable!)



To submit an entry for this contest, please create an avatar that fits the listed color theme below using the avatar builder (the picture + info for the avatar you make in that can be found under "BBCode: Male/Female, in case you didn't know), and then make a single post here with a brief sentence that saying this is your entry blah blah, followed by the avatar item list.



To vote for an avatar, please make a seperate post and copy and paste this format exactly (remove the spaces!):

Where it says "USERNAME", replace with the name of the person who's entry you're voting for. Please do this exactly! This makes it much easier to count votes, and seperate general chatter posts from actual voting. If you don't follow that format exactly, your vote will NOT be counted!! So, your vote should look like this:
"I vote for Billybob"



There will be a specific window of time for avatar entries, and then a shorter one after it for voting!

The current contest's theme, prizes, the entrants, and the votes will all be listed and tallied in the contest post below.

Winners will recieve whatever prize is listed (platinum and/or an item) and will also have their winning avatars listed in the winners' post below!
(In case of a tie, the prize will be equally split between all winners)

Ok, y'all! Contest is open! Please read the rules before entering an avatar/voting, and good luck!

Not using oak brown is fine! You don't have to use *all* the colors in a scheme, just can't use colors/shades outside of it! And the talker item is totally fine, too. That's sort of like "colorless" or whatever, and doesn't really have a shade attached to it, so totally works

There's only one tiny problem with your entry gonk the item " Yueran Flowergirl" that you used for the shoes is bubblegum pink instead of odele pink. It looks good with the outift (it is a suuuuper cute avi, btw~) but its against the rules. I know that's really picky, and I feel bad, but I wanna make sure I stay fair and keep to the rules for the game.
(to be clear, if the shoes in this specific pose JUST had the black, and didn't show any of the bubblegum pink, that would totally have worked! but since the wrong pink is on there, it breaks the rule)

If you're willing, I'd love for you to resubmit! Literally everything else can stay the same, its just the shoes! So if you can find an item with a shoe pose that fits the color scheme, just swap it out and resubmit here (it can just be black/white if that helps! hopefully there's a similar looking shoe item thats black/white, or a good replacement!)

Again I'm really sorry to be a stickler about it emo hope this doesn't turn you off from this game

Perfect! tysm, I'll add you rn~!

Okay, here's my try! I checked to make sure there were no repeats and I tried to make sure all the items I used outside of the color scheme were only showing black/white and nothing else. If I need to tweak anything or I missed anything, let me know!

Here is my entry. Let me know if I need to change anything.
