Hello, and Welcome to Books to Avatar, a weekly contest where you try to recreate a book character to the best of your ability using the items available on Gaia. Tektek is allowed and encouraged since we don't want anyone to have an advantage just because they have more items.

How it will work is each week you will be given one or two characters names and a description of them as it appeared in the book they are from. You then have a week to create the closest match using tektek or your own inventory that you can. At the end of the week entries will be put into a poll to be voted on. The poll will be left up for a week before the winner is announced.

Just post an image of your avatar entry with the name of the character in the thread to enter.

This week’s character will be Edward Cullen from Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. I don't have the book and have never read it so the description of the character is from wikipedia. If you have a better description from the book please post it for me. I picked this character because there seem to be so many Twilight fans in the guild.


Edward Cullen
Edward is described as being impossibly handsome. His skin is pale, ice cold. He has dark, purpleish circles under his eyes, as if always tired. In the sunlight his skin sparkles, as with all other vampires. His eyes change color depending on his level of thirst; a light gold when he has just fed, gradually darkening through the golden tones to black as his thirst progresses. His hair is described as bronze or reddish brown and is always in "casual disarray". Edward is 6'2" and lanky, but still quite muscular.

Yaay you used my idea. I don't think that description is enogh to go by though so I will wait until next weeks contest. I also think that the weekly character shoulkd be one from the book of the month. Therefore my vote for next weeks character is Harry Potter.

Goody, an entry :] I will consider everyones suggestions for characters ^_^

lakebe13: Thanks for the contest idea, I quite like it. I'm debating on the Harry Potter Characters because they have already been done so many times. If you look through past winners of the arena you can seen several really good ones. I'd have to think of a character I've never seen done. Maybe one of the Lovegods.

Katrika and Lucy_not_Nyu: If not next week than a later week. Tris would make a great choice so we'll use her sometime :]

Sincerely Miss Nat

I agree if its a harry potter one it must be a hard one. Oh I think you should try and use ones with better descriptions. I was working on this one but my comp kept acting up I'll try again though.

I was wondering if it would be alright to use paint program or something like that to get a tektek character to look more like the character we are trying to recreate. I mean just for items and things that gaia doesn't have.

I have a suggestion for next week or whenever. How about Vampire Hunter D. Vampire Hunter "D" is one of the novels he's in.
