Would someone be kind enough to explain this rule in the image guidelines: "Your item and overlay images should both have a minimum of 3-5 layers of shading." I'm kind of old school, so shading to me means for shadows. Does it mean highlights and shadows to provide the appearance of depth, or does it mean 3-5 variations of your color spectrum? I'd like to participate, but I'm not ultra current in the world of graphic arts and coding.

thanks!

Yes, so long as they are different items you can submit things by an artist that's submitting their own items.

March 23, 2019, 4:23 pm by

Is it ok to submit comissioned items if the artist is also a Subeta user AND is also submitting their own items? Like userA submits 3 items created by userB while userB is also submitting their own 3 items? Assuming of course they're six different designs...

March 23, 2019, 2:48 pm by

Looking forward to see what new items we'll be getting! :D

March 23, 2019, 1:02 pm by

Thank you!

March 23, 2019, 12:57 pm by

mostly just the items!

March 23, 2019, 12:26 pm by

Sorry I'm super late to the party here ToT I wanted to ask- if we do facial items do they have to be 'Masq themed' or just the items need to be 'Masq themed'. I just wanted to make sure before I get started. :S Thank you. Also again sorry for the super lateless it's been a wild week.

Wish I'd seen this with time to enter.. I'm flying out to Seattle today.

March 23, 2019, 6:22 am by

You get them from beating up Nightshade. Either 5 or 10 times. And nope, I think they only come in yellow.

March 22, 2019, 11:41 pm by

This is nOT A TITTIES OUT SITUATION.

March 22, 2019, 5:37 pm by

I agree with you that nips would be awesome but I'm not sure they're relevant to a masq ball. (and once again, with all the anthro stuff, the option for more than 2 would also be nice.)

March 22, 2019, 5:33 pm by

I love those!!!! do they come in any colour other than yellow?

March 22, 2019, 2:25 pm by

you should be able to! I have submitted my non winning idea in past contests so I imagine it's not different this time.

March 22, 2019, 1:08 pm by

Darn, I got so excited because I have IDEAS. But sadly, I don't have the means or the talent to submit pieces according to the Custom Wearable requirements :(

March 22, 2019, 9:22 am by

I was going to wear my mankini to the ball this year.

March 22, 2019, 7:23 am by

I'm also very confused as to how you could even tie nipples in with a masquerade. Eyes and lips and stuff could be done as "makeup" or whatever but nipples? I don't think this is that kind of masked ball, personally. Unless the staff have some very big surprises in store for us this year...

March 22, 2019, 7:17 am by

i personally think it'd be weird; not a lot of HAs are fully nude, plus, how would you link nipples to a masquerade ball? this isnt about men/women at all, i just dont think its a wearable thats needed, especially not in this sort of setting. just my two cents

March 22, 2019, 3:23 am by

- I think something babies drink from shouldn't be considered offensive in the first place, lol. Plus it's okay for men to be bare-chested in western society, so why not women too? Your request seems both reasonable and innocent to me. c:

March 22, 2019, 2:23 am by

Serious question: could nipples be submitted? I know Subeta is PG13 and we've had pasty/piercing items before but sometimes I don't want a doll chest

March 22, 2019, 12:54 am by

I'd love to have enough time and finely honed drawing skills to do this.

March 22, 2019, 12:35 am by

Good luck to everyone who is entering this contest! :)

March 21, 2019, 11:17 pm by

I wish I had artistic talent.

March 21, 2019, 11:13 pm by

here to also say that we should get to pick 3 at the least. our opinions matter a bit more than a measles 10% 😂

March 21, 2019, 10:40 pm by

Alas I've no digital talent. Guess I'll wait by the wayside until the event.

March 21, 2019, 9:48 pm by

ohhh i can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

March 21, 2019, 9:37 pm by

I would have loved to enter if it was a 'concept' type entry (i don't have a tablet or very good digital art talents in general, all I've got is my rudimentary hand drawn skillz), but alas i will sit out and just enjoy voting i guess ;-; Besides, I have a total of zero ideas off the top of my head (even tho I LOVE Masq! HyPE) and I don't really want to bother someone with a commission in so little time...but yay user submitted content for my fave event is still exciting! Maybe if we got a tiny participation prize for voting, that might assuage the sting of not being able to enter the contest itself...but I'm not greedy and I'll still be voting nonetheless c: Thanks team for the chance and good luck to all the people entering ❤

March 21, 2019, 9:34 pm by

;( so sad that I will be away until 31st without a tablet ahhhh. have been waiting for a cw themed contest since forever. but nevertheless super stoked!!

March 21, 2019, 9:17 pm by

Ooh, this looks like fun! Quick question: if our designs don't win will we be able to submit them as regular CW after the contest?

March 21, 2019, 9:13 pm by

Nah I imagine Masq is gonna start this weekend? And maybe the contest winning item will go out with a second wave of holiday items? That's my guess anyway.

March 21, 2019, 8:43 pm by

They need to be digital, they're looking for fully done wearables and items that meet all the same standards that apply to any CW before it's accepted to the site.

If you're still interested, you can find the fullsize bases here:

male - female

They are always linked on this page here, for future reference!

March 21, 2019, 8:42 pm by

So Masquerade is starting on the 29th or...?

And leave Adriette and her lopsided titties ALONE.

March 21, 2019, 8:40 pm by

....tiddies

March 21, 2019, 8:29 pm by

have you tried using ? They're not cold/angry like the snake contacts, and they're smaller and less ridiculous novelty than the cat contacts.

March 21, 2019, 8:25 pm by

March 21, 2019, 8:16 pm by

...tease. Got me all excited seeing "Masquerade" in a news post. xD

March 21, 2019, 8:11 pm by

symmetrical** I can't spell so.

March 21, 2019, 8:10 pm by

like almost no one is perfectly semtryical! We all have different sizes everything. Like one of my legs is shorter than the other. But it's just awkward looking in the art, especially with so much clevevage showing.

March 21, 2019, 8:04 pm by

well at least she's realistic, lol. I don't think I've ever met a woman with perfectly symmetrical natural breasts, my lefty is about half a cup larger than the other one, it used to be closer to a full cup till I had a growth spurt in that region in my mid twenties.

March 21, 2019, 8:03 pm by

ooh, i'm definitely gonna start sketching some stuff.

March 21, 2019, 7:57 pm by

it is a bit much lololol. But I can't stop seeing the right side bigger than the left and it looks odd. -

March 21, 2019, 7:53 pm by

Tbh I'm weirdly bothered by the boobs in the first place, they just seems so overly sexualised, especially with her pose. The character design feels very much like it's catering to a certain type of dude to me, like she's just there to be boobs for decoration. Meh, maybe that's just me being weird and awkward though, I know that many women are comfortable displaying their chest like that and that there is nothing wrong with it.

March 21, 2019, 7:46 pm by

Well That's Exciting :D

March 21, 2019, 7:39 pm by

~ no one is bothered by the lopsided looking boobs?

March 21, 2019, 7:31 pm by

I do enjoy both I suppose, but I like historical more, especially when they don't put clock parts/gears all over the items as if we couldn't tell it was steampunk otherwise!

Another thing we could use on the historical side of the divide is more hair for Cavalier/Musketeer/Romantic/Byronic/1970s male/butch/unisex avatars--styles that are longer in the back and on the sides, cover the ears, but show the eyes, with any ponytails or braids or buns or bows coming from the nape of the neck instead of the top of the head.

Currently most dudely/butch Masq hair is either spikey and long in the front and in the avatar's eyes, with shaven sides and short in the back. Or dreads. Or that short-part-down-the-middle Nikola Tesla hair with a stache you could use as a crowbar.

March 21, 2019, 7:20 pm by

Yes--I use those snake eyes all the time for my cattes and cattos. However, there are only a few colours, and sometimes they give kind of a cold appearance to the avatar, so more would be good!

March 21, 2019, 6:58 pm by

since it says "Atebus Revolution Masquerade," does that mean the item has to be space themed? Or is it just in general related to masquerade like steamwork and cyberpunk stuff?

March 21, 2019, 6:58 pm by

The 'snake contact lense case' set works great for cat eyes. I can't draw but I'm looking forward to voting, and happy to have a ballpark date for Masquerade

March 21, 2019, 6:51 pm by

"Greetings, budding Steamworks architects and Ziaran fashionistas alike!" Which part of this contest was for the architects again? I'm not much of a fashionista. X'D

March 21, 2019, 6:46 pm by

My tablet broke at the beginning of the month and I need to wait until payday to order a new one (which is typically the 29th) so have just brought the cheapest one I could find on amazon for £20 free delivery tomorrow lol Not sure I’ll be able to create anything but I wanna try and give it a go as it’s been ages since I’ve drawn a CW.
