Tektek The_Colorbump

A tektek challenge to create a fitting look for our beloved mule: The_Colorbump!


Who?

The_Colorbump mule embodies the spirit of The_Colorbump thread and train of thought.
He's supposed to look colorful, yet well-dressed, stylish, not preppy, playful, yet not childish, not too macho, not too lady-like.

Add a nifty title and description to each entry, profiling The_Colorbump even more!

Be creative!!



Specifications:

Gender: Male
Skin: 3 ((pinkish))
Eyes: 1 blue
Hair: Guy's Flame ((preferely blue))...
Mouth: Small ((preferely smiling))...



Rules:

* There's a limit of gold to spend on the items, let's say 50 000 gold, since it still has to be affordable to assemble.
* You can include donation items if you wish, but keep them within budget.
* Giftbox items are allowed too, but, as been said, within budget.
* Event items are allowed, however, no event items from before Easter 2K6.
* No prize and Joy items however.
* Exchange items such as for example a Fish Hat or Bouquet are allowed and pleased.
* You may change the characters' haircolor but not its hairstyle, the change of hairdo will count within budget (thus minus 250 gold).
* You can enter up 'till 5 entries per account (thus we wont really bother checking mules and so)
* Double your chances: Every entry in the categorie super-cheap is also an entry in the categorie normal
* There's no entry fee.
* Respect the jury, we will be subjective within taste, yes, it's still our mule and we want 'm to look best.
* No favoritism.
* You don't have to be a top-bumpers or regular to enter, all entrants are welcomed as long as they respect the rules.

Anyone caught on breaking the rules will be disqualified immediately.



Categories::

Normal:
See all the above

Super-Cheap:
Make a comical or nifty combo under 5 000g

Most creative description:
As the title says it all, write your uttermost comical, serious or informative thoughts on your entry. Surprise us! Descriptions in French and Dutch are

also allowed and will be translated into English by the jury.



How to submit your entry:
Send a PM with the total entry (avatar + used items + total value (copy-past from tektek) + your description) to She_Bartner OR Math Wolf (both mule accounts of The_Bartner)
The entries will then (anonymously) appear in The Official Colorbump Guild (that is here) where everyone can comment them. The comments will NOT count in any way for the final ranking.
The final ranking will be the combination of the rankings made by the members of the jury.
Jury = The_Bartner, Fem_chan, Gemene_Koala.
Entries are welcome until April 15, 2007.

Well, as stated, this are actually still the temporary rules, the official contest hasn't started yet. We still want to discuss where to put the entries.

Okay then.. I was wondering where to post it. Do you want me to edit it?
PostPosted: Thu Jan 04, 2007 1:07 am


A short description or something like a made-up story (like in the AA) describing The_Colorbump and his new clothes wouldn't hurt. This would give life to The_Colorbump 3nodding

Then we'll have a third category: most creative description. It must be aesthetically pleasing (to the judges) and appropriate to The_Colorbump's overall theme and the set of clothing used. Language used? Probably English.

One description per entry.

greenjam: it's OK, you can let it there or edit it, I doesn't matter that much. It's off course not yet counted as an entry, because there might change some things in the rules.

I like the idea. Really. I wanted to suggest a nifty title per entry before so...
I dunno about the description, the idea does please me but I think it'll scare potential contestants away...After all it ain't that easy to come up with a good text. Maybe only 10 lines max. per entry ((short per good)).

I'd allow French, Dutch and maybe Spanish too because Bart and I can easely translate the first two ((and get it translated by another user on the last)), just so we can "expand" the "literacy-barrier".

I'd like to see more opinions on this!

Note: I edited the first post and title!

I want the avie description/title to be non-compulsary or optional; it just gives you an extra chance to win and of course, who wouldn't want to give his/her artwork a soul? And since it's free to add in your comment, why not give it a try anyway?

Is this going to be a one time contest, or a recurring one? I think it might be fun to recurring contest, though for that we might want to keep it to cheapie designs.

Also, are we allowed to just donate items to The_Colorbump's wardrobe?

Ok...I feel stupid asking this...but where do we post our lovely tektek submissions?
...or send them?




User Image

Also...if the items ARE from Prize & Joy, if the person who submitted the tektek can supply you with the item, may we keep the item on the tektek? O-o (That was a confusing sentence...I hope you get what I'm asking ^^'')

Well...We could hold the contest just seasonal, then we could work up to themes, as in: The_Colorbump Anti-Freeze for the winter of 2007 ((ok that sounds lame, but you guys get what I mean)).

As for including things "outside" budget as for P&J items, I'd say no, since it wouldn't be too fair...Perhabs we should allow P&J items within the budget and stretch it a bit.

Well I think it would be best, for entries, to be posted within the Colorbump itself ((I'll make a very "loud" entry submission form just for that)), from there stored on a Photobucket account ((by me)) and in a seperate thread inside the Guild ((where all can check 'm out, since the Guild is public)).

Bart would like to start the contest as soon as possible ((even this week already)), stress! We should still agree on prizes ((I'm thinking sealeds perhaps)).

Ok, one more question and I'm done bugging you guys xD
With the hair thing - if I changed the style of it
and It stayed under 50k, is it still allowed?
O-o?
I apologize if I sound stupid sweatdrop
I've read the rules over and over and I don't really understand the hair rule.
