Such a short amount of time for a deadline. Kinda ridiculous. Oh well, good luck to everyone who is able to participate!!! 👏 👏 Now let's see those user submitted official itemsssssss 😍

March 21, 2019, 6:14 pm by

Are we allowed to make our designs traditionally, or does it have to be digital only? And where can we get the female and male HA bases, anyway?

March 21, 2019, 5:55 pm by

I'm so excited for this xD Even though I can't art I love to see all the things people do

March 21, 2019, 5:39 pm by

Also why only one design that is user selected out of 10? That's so little ):

March 21, 2019, 5:36 pm by

So I think this is a great idea. I always have and will but I wish more notice was given. Not sure if there was another announcement but it might've allowed for more people to participate with a longer deadline.

I wish everyone the best of luck and can't wait to see what you design .

March 21, 2019, 5:29 pm by

Damn. I want to try but at the time I’ve got nothing I could contribute 😂😭

March 21, 2019, 5:24 pm by

I'm a little confused about how this works... do we have to draw the items in Subeta style?

March 21, 2019, 5:02 pm by

Oh myyyyy faces yas!?????

March 21, 2019, 4:58 pm by

I don't have a better software for draw ,good luck everyone :)

March 21, 2019, 4:52 pm by

Good luck to everyone who enters! I can't wait to see what ya'll come up with. ^_^

March 21, 2019, 4:39 pm by

10 winning designs in the span of one week? Very optimistic. But looking forward to the facial feature ones. :3

March 21, 2019, 4:23 pm by

sits in the "Traditional Fine Artist" corner with an exaggerated pout I do think this is a cool idea, but I also agree that at least two or three winners should be chosen by users.

March 21, 2019, 4:14 pm by

After the mess of last time, I thought this wouldn't happen again, but I'm glad it is. I'm looking forward to seeing everything and even voting. Would like to see another chance for artistically challenged people like me, to participate in something as well with a fun prize :) Bring in the dancing, I'm ready to swing with multiple partners.

March 21, 2019, 3:55 pm by

One week? What a tight deadline..

March 21, 2019, 3:50 pm by

YES, you put it so very eloquently. I completely agree. I enjoy both both usually you cannot combine all the things you love into one item.

March 21, 2019, 3:33 pm by

Very cool idea. Too bad I have no clue how to make a CW to get the achievement. But good luck to the rest of you. SO anxious for masquerade to start! ;)

March 21, 2019, 3:33 pm by

Good luck to anyone who enters! I do hope any contests like this in the future allow for concept art and designs to be submitted. There are a lot of creative users who likely feel left out because they can't meet subeta's CW standards, myself included.

March 21, 2019, 3:32 pm by

Looking forward to seeing what y'all come up with! So many talented artists on here! Good luck everyone!

March 21, 2019, 3:18 pm by

i can't draw, but i can't wait to vote. :) good luck everyone!

March 21, 2019, 3:15 pm by

I'm so happy you decided to do this again, it was one of the things I thought was a great idea, but it hasn't been used as often as it could be.

March 21, 2019, 3:04 pm by

I hope there will be lots of cool noses! =D

March 21, 2019, 3:00 pm by

I agree that maybe having 2 or 3 user chosen winners instead of just one would be nice. But I also understand staff's reasoning for not having all of them user-chosen is to probably ensure some sort of variety, instead of ending up with all of the winners being slight variations of basically the same thing or something.

Ah well, I'm looking forward to seeing the entries and winners anyway. :)

March 21, 2019, 2:45 pm by

Ugh I wish I could draw.

March 21, 2019, 2:43 pm by

Is this only for artists? Or could I submit my untalented little drawing of a good idea, aka with intent for the actual site artists to redraw it? Or like...does this already need to be a perfect, site-ready submission? =|

March 21, 2019, 2:34 pm by

Quick question, but are we allowed to share our process of drawing with friends and stuff? ;v; Like, showing the start of it and the final product? (Sorry for the noob question, i have 0 experience oof)

March 21, 2019, 2:33 pm by

Also, with all the kitty booties and ears floating around, it'd be nice to have some cat eyes that are not so freaky oversized you can't use them with normal noses or makeups. <3

March 21, 2019, 2:32 pm by

I have ideas but no talent... or funds to commission people. Oh well. I can’t wait to see what those who enter come up with! ❤ Good luck!

March 21, 2019, 2:30 pm by

Personally I think there should be at least 2 user-chosen winners, because there are two very different aesthetics in play that deserve their own categories.

If there's only one user-chosen winner, either those with a strong preference for historically-inspired ruffles and lace or those with a strong preference for candy-cyber-emo stuff are going to be disappointed. They don't always combine very well.

(I've wondered why there's not two shops, like there are for Survival, to showcase each aesthetic.)

March 21, 2019, 2:19 pm by

Yay! I'm so excited about this contest! I'm looking forward to the entries and the designs. I really hope one of them will involve those CW kitty bottoms like I've seen users wearing.

March 21, 2019, 2:12 pm by

Good luck the CW artists. Make some neato stuff for us this year, okay? Maybe look at the suggestions for masquerade listing in the forums? hint hint

March 21, 2019, 2:09 pm by

so do I

I mean LIPS...

March 21, 2019, 2:05 pm by

Man. I wish I could draw.

March 21, 2019, 2:03 pm by

Do they have to be 'features' as in... bodyparts? Clothes? No backgrounds or whatever? /puzzled

March 21, 2019, 1:52 pm by

Mouths /lips would be something I have some ideas but... not an artist!

Good luck to our talented artists!

March 21, 2019, 1:45 pm by

Gotta get them lashes that double as industrial fans

March 21, 2019, 1:35 pm by

inb4 the eyes are all uguu desu big old eyelashes you can flap a person away with

March 21, 2019, 1:27 pm by

This is such short notice, iunno if I'll be able to do anything (simmer your applause, I still might). But this is exciting. Y'all are so damned skilled and create such pretty items, I cannot wait to see what you do !

March 21, 2019, 1:27 pm by

Maybe they could bring back the participation prizes in the Crystal Shop or Millionaire Centre after a while, so other uses have a chance to get them? We have a whole thread in the forums for hard-to-get items that were only rewarded once or something that we would like the chance to get again.

March 21, 2019, 1:25 pm by

I personally am not quite talented enough to enter (as much as I'd like to be); but I'm.so exicted to see what everyone comes up with! Good luck, CW artists! <3

I also agree it'd be fun for us to pick 3 instead of 1!

March 21, 2019, 1:25 pm by

OH! Awesome!~ I look forward to seeing what the CW artists come up with! ^_^ Good luck everyone!

March 21, 2019, 1:24 pm by

Looks like its time to try my hand at Tattoo CW's again. Guess my hiatus had to stop sometime

March 21, 2019, 1:20 pm by

Aww. :( I do understand, but it always makes me feel a bit "left out" of even just trying to get the goodies, as someone who can't draw, write, cook, ... at all.

March 21, 2019, 1:20 pm by

we should have more competitions for people with no talents like me :c

March 21, 2019, 1:16 pm by

I've never made a CW, but I would really love to try. This sounds like a great opportunity to give it a shot! runs to drawing tablet

March 21, 2019, 1:15 pm by

we would prefer if you didn't do that, it undermines the spirit of the contest! :(

March 21, 2019, 1:13 pm by

Just for the sake of clarification: does "participation prize" mean for all entries that are submitted, or only the eligible ones that didn't end up in the top 10? Aka can the non-artists submit a stick figure with a skirt on to get the prize? :P
