Subeta - Business Executive Contest

April 9, 2015, 2:20 am by

You're welcome! I figured I'd give it a shot because it was driving me nuts, and I knew if it were my entry it would bother me that it wasn't showing accurately. <3 And don't sell yourself short!! You both wore the same 'suit' and you both did a great job! I was just saying if I were judging I would have picked one or the other, not both. :)

why&;s everyone except one person white tho

Probably because most of the contest entries were white.

I seem to be one of the few who actually likes what was chosen. Y'all are fucking crazy bitches.

, bless your heart. I believe she had eyebrows, but don't feel like that yours should be the one not chosen after all we do not know whether yours or the other girl was picked first and therefore I do not think either should be eliminated. Especially not after being told you have won.

Hi guys, I made the lady at the end of the last row. Just want to throw my 2 cents in here; I don't think staff should have picked mine seeing as she has the same top and skirt as another? I think that's a really weird decision they made there especially seeing some of the incredibly diverse and cool ones there were in the forum. Secondly - SHE WAS MADE WITH EYEBROWS. This is bugging me so much, for some reason I couldn't get them to show in the forum no mater how many times I tried, but has managed to post the HA in these comments with her eyebrows (thank you for that <3) so that's what she's really supposed to look like, maybe (hopefully) the staff can somehow add those in if they're going to use her.

I didn't enter this, so I'm not being biased or anything, and I do think that the winners did a fine job, and they deserve a congratulations. But 2 of these have the same outfit, like the same skirt & top. I know that there were a ton of entries, so I'm honestly confused at how some winners came out looking so similar. xD And...the last one is missing eyebrows, I feel like if someone has to dress so clean and professional that they would have to have eyebrows as well? LOL Just my two cents ^^

April 6, 2015, 6:34 pm by

Congrats to the winners! I actually really quite like the winner.

April 6, 2015, 2:05 pm by

Congratulations to the winners! My favourite is the lovely lady with white hair and glasses. :)
Definitely love some more smart separates to add to the business clothing pool.

April 6, 2015, 12:22 pm by

I don't see an Eastern Asian, but with the various tones of skins some people could be mixed or other races besides white. The 1st guy on the second row could be Latin or mixed.

April 6, 2015, 12:13 pm by

I would like to see more business like dresses to come out of this. I have to admit the first thing I searched for was pencil skirt when making my first outfit was a pencil skirt, but I chose red to match the brief case. Then went with the blue one from the blue building and a cardigan instead of a blazer.

I know I chose male hair, but I know if I were able to work everyday as an executive I could not deal with the past waist almost butt length hair I have in real life.

I do hope we can all overcome the division. Because this is only second one of these I have participated in and it was so fun for me. I will not delete the three characters I made for the contest. If I never win. I still adore playing with these virtual paper dolls. :D

April 6, 2015, 12:05 pm by

'Diversity proportions' aside it's kind of low to assume that 'all but one' are white. Is the East Asian lady up there 'white'? Is the Hispanic/Latin looking man up there white? Like yeah I wanna see some obvious racial disparity but like way to go clumping everyone who isn't the darkest base skin color into one category y'all.

This isn't even to mention the other issues both on the side of the whiny userbase and the contest itself.

April 6, 2015, 2:32 am by

Muuuuch betta <3 Nice work there Chica!

April 6, 2015, 2:30 am by

Hoping this shows up because it's killing me not being able to see eyebrows! Outfit Not Found (disclaimer in case of overreactors:Not really created by me)

If someone has a different opinion, this someone has a right to voice it and speak about it in a friendly manner. Here are some people who might have forgotten this.

Somebody give this user a medal, please.

PSA: If you want to go and live in a land of sunshine and rainbows, where the staff makes no mistake and everything is perfect, don't check the site feedback & suggestions forums, and the news comments because you're going to see that Subeta users are used to a high standard of quality, and when that standard is not met...well, the userbase voices it.

The experiment contest winners probably were not what I'd have chosen for winners, but there was diversity. 4 winners with the goop, 3 winners with the tentacles, 3 winners with the rainbow hair.

The restriction was that we had to use one of three items out of 20 000, and yet, we had pretty distinct winners.

I guess I just expected the level of judgement we got for the last contest, where it went really well. This one didn't, at least to me.

April 6, 2015, 12:57 am by

WaaiitaaaaMinute! What do our staffers look like? Did they each pick one to represent themselves? ... but then the number wouldn't have gone from the expected 6 winners to the announced 8 winners... hmmm a thought though. XD

April 6, 2015, 12:19 am by

I was scared of saying that, ty

April 5, 2015, 11:02 pm by

why's everyone except one person white tho

April 5, 2015, 10:43 pm by

Wow. Would y'all like cheese with all of that whone? Seriously. The levels of complaining on this thread are over 9,000. Not only that, but it's turned into a giant circlejerk that looks like it belongs far more on Tumblr than Subeta. As for the "reward giving"? You're not Subeta staff. Please stop acting like you are. The staff have every right to choose whatever winners they want. Don't like it? Don't play on Subeta, and don't enter the HA contests. Entering a contest does not entitle anyone a prize simply for participating. By entering the contest, participants knew fully well that they might not win. It's called a "contest" for a reason.

April 5, 2015, 10:05 pm by

While I like the winners, I'll have to agree that there isn't really very much variety in the outfits. I'm not really surprised I didn't win, because I realize now that I completely missed small details like jewelry and the like, so this isn't me whining about not winning. I just hope that the staff takes all this feedback into account next time they do an HA contest, especially being more clear with the guidelines of the contest if they actually mean something very specific, as the case seems to be here.

April 5, 2015, 8:52 pm by

Still waiting for someone to explain me why this joke news post is up

April 5, 2015, 7:15 pm by

How I read and understood the guidelines: "BE creative, it could be everything, with every colour scheme, as long as it resembles a professional buisiness man/woman" I really thought about: how could a subetian business man look like, not just the ordinary ones in real life. Thinking from another perspective, creating something that differs from the real world.

Reality: "Black/White/Navi pencil skirt(!) wearing buisiness thing, which you see everyday in boring reality" If you want to see THIS then please say so.

This isn't meant to be rude, and the subeta staff usually does great work, but please let us be more creative and give those, who have another point of view on things, more consideration. While I am at it, I like some of the winners very much and one of them was one of my favs out of all the entries :) my congratulations :)

Yes, a lot will say that I am whining and this isn't construvtive criticism. But it is and I am not whining. Whining is this: "iuhg483957 gibberish gibberish WHY DIDN'T I WIN.." and so on. I never said that and I will never ever say. I am proud of my HA and I was happy to be able to enter this contest :) If someone has a different opinion, this someone has a right to voice it and speak about it in a friendly manner. Here are some people who might have forgotten this.

PLease excuse me, if something comes off as rude, because english isn't my native language. I tried my best to explain everything clearly :)

April 5, 2015, 5:39 pm by

I think the next time there's an HA contest, there needs to be more guidelines as to what you're looking for, as in 'color matching' and such. I spent so much time getting the colors and everything just right and I didn't even place. I'm not being a sore loser, honest, I'm happy for the winners. I'm just bummed because I put so much effort into it.

April 5, 2015, 5:19 pm by

congrats to all those that won.

also to all those that were more diverse with their entries, it was really nice to see how creative and inclusive people got in this contest.

April 5, 2015, 5:07 pm by

Grats to those who won! Was tempted to try this contest but i'm not good at customizing HA's :/

April 5, 2015, 4:56 pm by

I like how the winner is just the right amount of casual mixed in, he's an executive so he can be a bit more lax, but nobody should point that out to him, oops. I can see why people don't like the lack of variety, but it makes sense, that's the stereotypical outfits I think of when I think business executive, and if they're all going to be used in a way, it makes sense they match.

April 5, 2015, 4:07 pm by

Do you remeber the Male HA contest? http://subeta.net/news/15419 Apparently, subeta doesn't like color. :(

And I think everyone who has no eyebrows looks like an alien...

April 5, 2015, 3:43 pm by

Congrats to all the winners. They all look great. :D

April 5, 2015, 3:29 pm by

I love these pics you've posted. Seriously, they look more like the kind of businessman I'd see working on something on Subeta. There is style, there is dynamism.

Lovely references.

April 5, 2015, 3:23 pm by

Geez, what stuck-up looking business people, haha. Congrats on the winners! They look trustworthy! (and this is what business is all about, right?)

April 5, 2015, 2:16 pm by

Damn there's way too much sodium in these posts. Otherwise, congrats to the people who won, and still congrats to the people who didn't uvu

April 5, 2015, 2:05 pm by

is this a joke i dont get it

April 5, 2015, 1:52 pm by

don't get me wonrg, the winners did awesome jobs. this is subeta though, so im not sure why they arent trying to distinguish subeta and earth as two separate entities instead of making subeta mimic earth

April 5, 2015, 1:50 pm by

one is a book, but I am sure as a teacher you have many of those too. My daughter in law is a teacher too. <3

April 5, 2015, 1:50 pm by

i felt mine was business professional and i actually used color!

Outfit Not Found

see what i mean?

April 5, 2015, 1:45 pm by

Fellow teacher shoutout! Also loved the 2nd one posted, 3 bags and probably more stuff in my classroom, that's me going to work every day. :P

April 5, 2015, 1:26 pm by

Congratulations, dear winners :* Despite the fact that I think you all truely deserved to win this contest, it dissapoints me to see the lack of variety chosen, which many of us do. I simply thought that (especially with this large number of entries) a winner of each category would be picked. For example colour of business clothing, I remember seeing even anime type or gothic/punk looking entries...

Even though some categories are less common (perhaps even less neat), it is more fair to people who think originality will be rewarded as well.

To be honest, I did not even noticed the differences in the ethnicities used and also could not find any comments implying such things... I think you misunderstood some comments (correct me if I am wrong), since most refer to the black and white colours of the clothing used and not the colour of the skin tone. Nontheless, I assume almost everyone agrees with you (even without being a business person themselves) that this job is available to everyone regardless to gender, eye colour, ethnicity, et cetra.

April 5, 2015, 1:24 pm by

They all look so samey. :/ The one with the glasses looks more like a butler to me too.

April 5, 2015, 1:24 pm by

, he grabbed my eye right off. I guess I liked that he was older. Several people did older ones.

I guess , I saw him being the boyfriend of her...Outfit Not FoundOutfit Not Found(The One I used for the contest.)Outfit Not FoundThis one who went for the red pencil skirt instead of black. I like her because she reminds me of my mother.

I made 3 of each of my characters. I loved my girl with blond hair, blue eyes with the too dark spray tan and my sharp dressing fellow of African decent who by the way is also a violinist or a fiddler.

April 5, 2015, 1:15 pm by

I think that I will give out some prizes myself to people I liked.

April 5, 2015, 1:14 pm by

Sorry about that! I was waiting for this to be over so I could change my skin. Tbh, I felt like that HA had no chance. Haha.

April 5, 2015, 1:14 pm by

Outfit Not Found I am not a doctor, but very much professional :D

April 5, 2015, 1:08 pm by

There are doctors and lawyers and business executives... and they're all made out of ticky-tacky and they all look just the same.

April 5, 2015, 1:01 pm by

I loved these. 's Outfit Not Found 's Private Outfit 's bald guy minus the cigarette unless he is a back in the day guy when men smoked at work. I cannot share him as he appears on the contest threads. He has one of Survival threads diseases now. The same one her HA has now. It is not that I do not like the winners I truly do. Plus I do not want to complain because I wish they would hold more of these contests. <3 I also love Subeta. It is my favorite site on the web even over Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr etc. Also if I hurt one of the winner's feelings I would feel horrid. Anyway I just wanted to share some of my favorites.

April 5, 2015, 12:56 pm by

So much salt, sheesh.

Grats all!

April 5, 2015, 12:52 pm by

oh i really like Shou's HA :'D congrats!

April 5, 2015, 12:49 pm by

Apparently the 1% is alive and well in Centropolis. Back to your back country holes, dens, and moons, peons!

April 5, 2015, 12:35 pm by

Wow, I would have done grayscale if I'd known, damn. And I'm sure it was probably a wardrobe issue, but an avatar w/o eyebrows? Really Subeta? YOU CAN'T WEAR COLOR AND BE A CEO BUT YOU CAN SHAVE UR EYEBROWS COME RIGHT IN. Yeah ok.

Not that my entry was the be-all-end-all, by any means (I got kinda frustrated with the wardrobe bugging out horribly by the end) but matched colors with a statement piece is not at all uncommon for higher-ups, especially, as others have said, in a world like Subeta. Where their grand leader is robe-laden fire haired dude who carries around a mythical bird.

April 5, 2015, 12:33 pm by

I really don't see what the point in entering these contests is anymore.

It seems that the exact same HA is picked time over time, and all of the winners look exactly the same. I guess color is not part of the business sector.

I am not saying the HA's don't look good, but man, they are all the same. A little bit of variety would be nice to see.

April 5, 2015, 12:20 pm by

Those of you looking to win the next Flash contest, just make it look like a member of staff. Preferably Keith. Guaranteed placement!

April 5, 2015, 11:20 am by

I saw so many colorful and diverse HAs in the competition, and I was for sure that Subeta staff would pick a unique, quirky CEO. A few people have said that this is what business people look like in real life: black and grey suits, white skin. But this isn't a real office. It's Subeta. And I was expecting to see a wonderful variety of winners. Not disappointed in the quality of HAs chosen, they are all great, I just didn't expect everyone to look so similar.

April 5, 2015, 10:54 am by

Congratulations to all the winners, I think you all did a great job on your business HAs! My only criticism is that there were a lot of similarly dressed POC, it seems like we're rarely even honorable mentions. :(
