of course you can! There are no points system or participation prizes (no time for that sadly lol)
Honestly I started it as an event/challenge thing, but I don't see myself hosting many various things (HA contests, posting GIFs and quotes).
At this point im considering cancelling the 'event' and simply make the challenges a recurring thing, possibly once or twice per month (so it's like a free commission/design raffle, outside of the event context!')
Stunned Jellyfish Train
Long Train/Skirt
Something pretty much similar to this but without the dress in the back so basically just the train and the "legs" in the front of the legs so it would layer over stockings etc, so it would basically be based off a jellyfish
I'm thinking something with a jellyfish?
YAY ! Contests/events are hard, even the more simple ones. The once/twice-a-month idea is awesome, though. I'm at awe by how you bust out so many amazing things so quickly ! I need to crack down and dedicate more time to drawing to better myself I always say this but then lazy and unmotivated
Challenge entry
And this if the idea works/peaks your interest:
Mermaids Dream Gown ? It's mermaid inspired (hello, I love mermaids and I am in an ocean theme right now myself)
A gown !
A mermaid gown with lace work like this, but with a bust + beads like this, and a bottom portion like this. I was thinking a white gown, the floral aspects being the pink and brown, and the non-floral-lace being black. The beads at the top wold possibly be black but could be nifty in all three colors to match the lace. I don't know if it'd get muddled that way, though. Or if versatility/coloring being too muddled issues arise, just black and white would be good (this would possibly garner more interest but man I love that pink too much).
Maybe a 'mermaid' with the fabric wrapped around her ? Not the gown, but just wrapped around. Or a manatee with the fabric wrapped around it. With awesome ginger locks. That'd be hilarious.
No ideas in this brain, unfortunately, haha. There are so many awesome ideas here, I'm jealousjealous XD Edit: oh yay, forum point!

underwater creature bonanza!

Challenge Two - Underwater Creatures
Based on the Chromodoris Willani!

Horns of the Sea Slug
Horns!
Straight horns that look like the ones in the photo, textured like the sea slug's. A little high on the head, long. Sits about as high as , but a touch further apart. Tapered to a point at the end.
Maybe the Chromodoris Willani itself?
Entry for Round Two

Oceanic Mermaid Gown or something like that. "You'll look just like a mermaid in this gown!"
Gown-Either chest or body layer.
I looooove the design of this dress (that's the store link for the ability to zoom in, the image is here). Especially the sparkles and the sheer mermaid-style bottom part. With the colors from the on-site item from above.
A pearl sitting on top of the folded dress? I have no idea for this part, tbh. I'd suggest a mermaid but that would probably be a lot of work for such a small image. Q-Q
I know this is a late last minute entry (kinda forgot about this over the weekend)
So here is my Entry:

Item: I like that this item has aqua, blues, purples and even hints of pinks and this works really nicely with the item I'm suggesting. I like the "iridescence" and "opal-esque" look of these colors.
Description of item: Bubble-jelly skirt with the talons/stingers as part of the skirt. Kind of in the shape and length and height of the sheer octopus skirt. <only use this as a shape reference, but if that's not allowed, then don't use it, I just wanted to be descriptive enough, but any length/shape you go with will probably work anyway.
This shape, but it can be a little higher on the waist than in these pictures:

A ref of what it might look like with the stingers:
I would like it if the skirt itself was in the same colors as the jellyfish and of course sheer and with iridescent/opal/rainbowy colors like that of the candy cut!
Item Name: Glowing Jellyfish Skirt
Item Description: Bloop. Bloop. Bloop.
Type of item: Bottom.
CI: The jellyfish swimming about/kind of swimming up at an angle.
hey guys! I was supposed to ping last night but too many things to work in my schedule & I forgot haha ;;
The winner isssssssssssss.... n_n I just loved the accessory idea, and I'll try to make it justice!
Dollipop's entry!

But wait wait wait! I also have ONE more winner this round! However this one will be kept secret until both items are done and ready to be released! n_n
Lastly, I wanted to make an announcement! I have decided to remove the 'event', in the sense that I do not have the time to take care of other smaller challenges (HA contests, post a GIF, scavenger hunts etc.!).
However, cw challenges will be recurring and take place once to twice a month recurrently!
Basically it's the same as it is now, except I'd rather not disappoint people with the term 'event' which suggests more implication than I can afford at the moment with my fulltime job + drawing x3
The same prizes / rules will apply (winning item available for 2 weeks + winner gets half the profit generated from sales!)
Voila!
That is awesome! Thanks so much for giving everyone even the chance to having something beautiful drawn by you.
Congrats to the getting their design drawn! I am sure it will be awesome! And can't wait to see the mystery. :)
Thanks for doing this. ^_^

Congrats I can't wait to see the final piece and the mystery item. So many good entries.
dang girl you are KILLIN it with all these contests! Congrats!!! Can't wait to see the new items!
AUUUWWGHGHHGH OMFG IM SO EXCITED!!! ;___; thank you so much ahhh~!
and tbh im EQUALLY excited to see the SECRET WINNER!!!!
also, i think i speak for everyone when i say that i'd MUCH rather have a once a month CW contest like this than a bunch of HA contests! HA contests in general are super fun of course, but i think its just awesome how generous it is of you to do this sort of thing and invest your time into making people's ideas come to life. (:
Congrats ! Can't wait to see the finished product! :D These are so much fun!

Yup yup I totally agree! Once a month CW comps are much easier than HA comps and other mini events and I love CW comps more because once I get inspiration I've got ideas out the wazzoo!
Your entry is super adorable, looking forward to wear it =D It's gonna be awesome! All hail the starfish(es)!!
I am really glad you continue to do these, these are really unique and lots of fun and I especially love how creative people are! =3
aw im glad everyone likes the challenges too! i've been more than surprised to see people's amazing ideas! So many I would've never thought about (or that I would've never tried to draw). Those challenges also give me the opportunity to tackle on different styles/ideas than my usual n_n
I'm working on setting up the new challenges (I was thinking of making one publicly announced + 1 secret winner each round), with a monthly raffle for those who participated, etc. I just need to sort it out and type it somewhere before I forget lol)
I like that. One public and one secret.
I know you don't really do commissions and such due to lack of time but what you could even do is like based on these ideas do maybe slightly discounted commissions, or open a few commission slots for ideas that were suggested throughout the events (if someone really wants to get their item done) but with the knowledge that it will take some time so it'll be a while before the item is done. Or even like based on the ideas that people suggest take on like 2 commissions of the suggested items only. Of course based on your time and availability. Or not, but I kinda want some of the items other people suggested, and some of the items I suggested. LOL.
I know after my suggestions I'm like.. gah now I wanna commission them. :P
