I am new to the site and would love to see some Halloween themed human avatars to help inspire my own! :) Thank you in advance!

Welcome to Subeta! :)

Subeta's version of Halloween is called Morostide and it's really fun. There's a pumpkin patch, trick or treating, and themed battle challengers. Here's a list of wearable items that were released during that holiday's season.

Are you interested in cosplay avatars or just ones in the general theme? This is one that I made over the summer, when I bought the veiled wig and the background. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/cq8I9Na.png[/IMG]

These are some cute and affordable (all under 1mil sP) Morostide wearables:

thank you so much for all the information! I love love love your avatar. Is the veil and wig separate pieces or is it the same item? And what is the difference between cosplay and general avatars?

Thank you! :)

The veil and wig are one piece. Arcane Feline Embroidery is the name of the item. The little star in the corner means it's a CW, or custom wearable, which is a user-created item that's bought and sold for CSC, or Cash Shop Credits.

By cosplay and general, I meant if you're asking for examples of avatars dressed in a generally spooky theme or avatars in costume as things like fictional characters.

Wow that wig is amazing. I have so much to learn about this site! hahaha

Morostide, does it last the entire month of October?

And I would love to see either avatars in general spooky costumes or as spooky fictional characters! There are a lot of great avatars on this site. :)

It does last the whole month. Users know that it's started once we have the trick-or-treat, and egging & toilet papering options our profiles under the Options section. We had a convention themed event with a costume contest. Here's the gallery from that.

This is the Subeta wiki entry on Morostide. Arvee So Fetch and SubetaLodge.org are two other resource sites that you may enjoy browsing too.

Oh my gosh those entries from the costume event are awesome. Do they hold this every year?

We had EPICon twice (2010 and 2013), and I think staff said we won't be having it again if I'm not mistaken. We will have other avatar dress-up contests though. There was a general one for Morostide and another for Luminaire (Subeta's Christmas equivalent) years ago, and we just had a Battle of the Bands event this past summer which was an avatar contest for users in groups.

Aww that is too bad! I would have loved to have been apart of EPICon. Maybe they will change their minds.... Do they have other galleries of other costume contests?

The gallery for EPICon 2010 stopped working because of the 2013 gallery but these are the links to the random (not tied to an event, just a holiday) costume contests during Morostide and Luminaire in 2010.

2010 Morostide Contest 2010 Luminaire Contest

I think they're a lot of fun but I do agree with people who've voiced that they're problematic because they turn into popularity contests and people buying votes. Hopefully Subeta can continue to have them in a way that's more objective and fair.
