First topic message reminder :

Let's get Burlesque!







So…are you ready?
Here is assignment 1 for the Miss Cstyles Simmette!

Do you know what ‘Burlesque’ is? Well if you didn’t you will by the time this contest is over. I’m posting some information for those that are not sure as well as pictures…not every assignment will have an ‘example’ picture created by me. I want each of you to be creative in your own thoughts and ideas.

I want you to create a ‘Burlesque’ Sim and background.

Rules


1: No copying others work. You can use a picture off the internet and re-create it if you wish. But try to keep as much of YOUR own creativity in the assignment.

2: Please don’t delay getting your assignment in on time.

3: If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask me, I want you to have a clear picture of what I’m looking for.

4: Moderate nudity is allowed, just NO nips or pubes please.

5: You will have 3 day’s to complete and turn in your pictures, meaning, your pictures need to be posted by Monday, Oct. 11th, by 9pm EST.
When all the pictures are posted, the voting poll will be posted and you have until Wednesday Oct. 13th, 9pm EST to get all you’re voting in. The scores will be posted Thursday along with the next assignment.

6: Some are not happy about the ‘voting/polling’ way of picking a winner, however some are…with this for every vote you get on your picture you will get a ½ point added to your total score. So you will still need your friends to help you by voting.
You can vote for anyone, including yourself that you want to and you will have the choice of voting for multiple people.

7: I will be judging as well as Ninjahawkz and I want one more judge. I still have to check with this person to confirm they will assist on the judging. If not…then we will go with just 2 judges.


8: With this being an open contest to Members as well as Mod’s NO PREFENTIALtreatment will be given to anyone. When you are judged you are judged solely on your pictures and your votes. So please…don’t get your panties in a bunch if you don’t get the score you wanted…I am just being fair. :)

How you will be judged.

Creative investment in assignment 1/10 with 10 being highest.

Photo clarity. 1/10

Background of assignment 1/10

The rest of the scoring comes from the number of votes.

Person with the lowest score will be eliminated .

*You can ask questions about your scoring if you have them. I have no problem answering anything you might want to comment on*

I have a bit of a problem with the time frame for this assignment.
I read this at my first opportunity I can (living in Europe & being 9 hrs 'ahead' of you) with already halve a day gone.... In the shorty time for the assignment we have, this 'lost time' is MASSIVE...
If I have questions, this will normally take a day for response, if I have to hold up my assignment entry to wait for an answer this will almost become impossible....
I will def give it a go though, but I really wish we would have some more time before the deadline !!
I still hope to submit my assignment in time...

Please make note of this, for the next assignment (if I'm still in at that time)

Hi Eva!

Don't worry, not every shoot will be a 3 day shoot time frame. I planned this for 3 because I felt, and I may be wrong, that it was one of the easier shoots thus the reason for the limited time frame.

Let me know so I can work around your time frame, as any one else. I do understand totally the time difference and I don't want this to inconvenience anyone at all.

Ohhh nice pics Q-Girl & Toblie, awesome !!
Like Akasha said "This is some tough ass competition!!", totally agree !!

Sad Rawla had to drop out of the competition though, she was so enthusiastic !!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the pics submitted so far!! This is def going to be one bad ass assignment!!! I'm scared of you guys...such talent!!

Oh, and on Rawla...I didn't understand what exactly she thought she was asked to do and even trying to explain it to her didn't help. She not only dropped out of the comp but deleted her account with Cstyles.

I must be a very naughty naughty girl...

That's all cool and no hurt feelings...at least on my part...she wouldn't have lasted a second in the party and bullshit room.

Just so she knows...she is welcome anytime on Cstyles!!

Oh well Cece, maybe she was really young and her mum and dad might have checked the things she was doing over the net.
It's possible she felt awkward about such things, but i liked her pic, it had an asian theme and i thought it was cool.
Hope she finds a comp thats a little more g rated for her, not pg.

I checked out her profile on TS3 and it didn't seem as though she was a child. Don't know...I'm not sure how she read the contest but like you, I hope she finds one she will be more comfortable with. :D

You think the rain'll hurt the rhubarb?

Hey CeCe,

Well when I read the assignment I did feel uncomfortable with the time frame. I do have a lot of family stuff going on this weekend, so actually I do have little time to spend on the assignment. So I was stressed out a bit...

However I did manage to put something together late last night, but I'm not happy with it. I'll keep it as backup, just in case I can't finish my "real submission" in time.
So either way, I will be able to submit in time ;)

Btw I still think 3 days is a bit short for any assignment. I agree this assignment is not that complicated, but you can't look into the agenda of the people taking part in the competition.
Besides that I like to spend time to get as much info as I can on the subject of the assignment and let the "creative juices" running and it also takes me a lot of time to "prepare" my sim and set (being meticulous and all )

Thanks EvaTer and I'm really looking forward to the rest of the competition and enteries, this is so much fun!

MOAR PICTURES! :D This is a really cool assignment idea.

It was a something we would say in my family when we wanted to change the subject. lol

Btw, I should have my picture in late tonight or sometime tomorrow...before 6 which is 9 for you.

Ok...we have had a question asked that I find very very interesting. Eva couldn't decide which pic to upload and tried a 'animated' type of picture. I did say only one picture was allowed...however I didn't say no animation. (just didn't cross my mind actually)

With this being a very very interesting thing...I've decided in all fairness to those that have already posted their pics it would not be fair to let an animated picture be entered. However...and this is a big HOWEVER...future shoots you will be allowed if you choose to use an animated picture!!

Should be really cool for the next shoot which is with a Halloween theme!!

If you choose not to do an animation that is NO problem at all and it will not affect your score whatsoever!!

If you have any questions please ask...I really really don't mind answering any that you may have.

Of course with the animation being added that will allow more time for future shoots.

I you all!!! Can't wait to see more entries!!

giggity! :drunken:

Cute Kash...I will have to remember that one!! I just need to know of any problems before I can post the voting poll...otherwise no problem!!

Ummm question, how the heck do u do an animated shot?

runs screaming from the competition!

I'm from the South lady!! *grabs a lasso and pulls Tobz back into competition* Now...you don't have to do this...like I said, it won't have yay or nay on your scoring. This is an 'if you want to' thing. Trust me...if I was in this I'd be just submitting a regular shot the old fashioned way because I have NO idea how to do it either.

I'm mostly curious....

Falls to the floor and places head on hands, as i lay there with the lasso around my ankles, and ponder:
I too am curious to see how it would look, is it like a gif animation or just a few photos taken in cynk (is that how ya spell it?) to make it look like it's moving or an actual video? Guess I will wait and see.

I'm so tickled you like it Amiee...you should have entered!!! It's going to be (at least I hope) a really cool and interesting competition)

"unties Tobz with a firm warning of the next time, if there is a next time...it could get ugly* I will have an example posted so you can see what it is when the next assignment is posted. I'm so curious about this!!!

I have a question.
Is it okay if I edit in an object into my picture. It's something that would be impossible to find anywhere.

Sure you can. All I ask for is 'minimal' editing so that should be fine! :105: Can't wait to see your pic!!

I'm not completely satisfied with it, but it's the best I could do with what's given to us.

I was inspired by Dita's 'Opium Den Paris' show...



Hope you like it! :D

Emory Pickett.

Aww. Thanks, hun!

OK this is my entry pic, a bit less extravagant, but still ;)
(This pic is part of a small 'dancing' animation, probably featured somewhat later this week. I don't want to post it here right now, as agreed with CeCe)
