{ Let's Get Botanical! }
{ Introduction }
One of the things I've always enjoyed about Subeta is the HAs, or Human Avatars, and how creative people can get with them! After seeing some FANTASTIC plant/nature related HAs I was inspired to create this contest just because I really do like seeing well thought out avatars!

{ Rules }
one << When submitting your entry your HA MUST be wearing their entry, not exceptions! I'll save a copy of it and tell you once I do so you can change your HAs outfit again.
two. << No edits to entries. Once I've saved the file that is that!
three. << There is a maximum of two entries per person!
four. << Entries must have at least six items in use.
five. << If prizes are not claimed within a month after the winners are announced, runner-ups will receive the prize(s) instead.
+ + + + + +
{ Submitting } Once you're ready to submit your entry please fill out the following form;
>> Username: (Your Subeta username.)
>> About Look: (Info about what you were going for design wise. Can be brief or detailed. 4 paragraphs max.)
If you want you CAN post your "live" HA in the submission, but its not needed.
+ + + + + +
{ Judging } Judging will be based on the following;
EFFORT. Did you just throw a matching set together or did you call it a day? ORIGINALITY. How outside of the box are you thinking and does it show? THEME. Did you follow the theme?
Aside from that, I will also be looking for more abstract HA's that are creative and seem more plant than human/humanoid, or carry the nature theme but do not scream "human". Chances are if it looks like someone dresses up for a ren fair, flower crown and all, there won't be a high chance of winning.

This looks like a fun contest. I will have to participate when Pandemic is over with.
yesssssss
im here for this <333
[-Bean] hopefully this ping goes through! i haven't tried pinging anyone with a dash in their username before D:
i hope you get more entries, you have a fantastic art style so i'm surprised more people aren't hopping in on this!! i guess there are still three more weeks, though, and people were distracted by survival. it's been a while since i've done an ha contest, so this was a fun theme – a little tricky though, since i cleared out a ton of my wardrobe a few months back (idk what i was thinking) so i had to scrape by with what i do have.
>> Username: fluent >> About Look: design is based on a bioluminescent mushroom! the hair (which inspired the outfit) is actually apple glow candy haha, but to me it looked like there was glowing fungi growing from the hair. i used the tumbled obsidian over the base contrasted with green + shiny jewelry on top to try and create more of a bioluminescent look than it would have had otherwise. i threw in the butterfly on a whim because it has a nice glow that matches with the gold accents in the outfit, plus is nature-related in its own right.
that's pretty much it!
This is such a great idea! I really enjoyed all the nature-themed HAs from survival too. I'd like to enter my current HA. :)
>> Username: Holden >> About Look: I wanted to make an HA based on the fairy rings that mushrooms grow in, which are so mysterious and which inspired a lot of folklore and superstition. My picture shows a giant humanoid mushroom in the center which gave birth to the little ones around it, and I used as many sparklies as I could to manifest glowing spores.
I hope to see you enter! Haha, thanks for the support man!

>> About Look: My HA's design is based on that of a Green Man. A Green Man is a sculpture most commonly seen on buildings such as Public houses and churches in Great Britain. It's the face of a man made out of leaves and other vegetation and is thought to be a symbol of rebirth and of the spring. Mostly it is shown as just a face but sometimes has a full body too.
Neo-paganism views the Green Man as a representation of rebirth and transformation called the Horned God, based on the likenesses of the Greek Pan or the Celtic god Cernunnos.
