DragonDraws Dressing and Outfit Contest
-Not accepting any more participants, we have begun!-
I've always wanted to organise a dressing and outfit competition, and I've recently come across the funds to be able to support it! This is going to be a fun game, carried over several weeks, which anyone with a knack dressing dragons can participate in.
I like to plan outfits as much as the next person, but even I struggle sometimes. There are many of my dragons who I am stumped on how to plan them, or in some cases, just can't be bothered figuring out. Every 24 hours, participants will be given one of my dragons to plan an outfit for. One can use as many slots as they wish, and I will accept any apparel, along with any skins or accents. Each dragon will have a little blurb of information: A summary of their personality, and their role within the clan. This is to help you narrow down how to outfit them. Below is also a few tips on some of my personal tastes, to also help you.
The winning outfit for each dragon will go onto my Missions and Goals thread, in the outfit section. It will become official, and I will one day finish it.
What is a contest without the prizes? There is a prize for first, second and third place, and at the end I will also choose some honourable mentions, who will receive a few goodies.
1st Place: 1000g + a fully shaded headshot drawn by myself
2nd Place: 400g
3rd Place: 100g
Honourable Mentions: They each get a little headshot, in a style of art not available in my shop!
Now then! These are things you should keep in mind, if you want a better chance at winning.
- I like cluttered dragons. I've found myself turning into one of those G1 hoarders who has flowerfall on every dragon.
- I dislike skins. Now then, put to a good use and they can be wonderful, so if used well, then it's not totally out of the door. However I much prefer accents and skincents, both for being cheaper, and showing more of the dragons actual appearance, making them more unique.
- I like theme! If you create an outfit with a very well structured theme, that fits well to the dragon, I am going to like it.
- Composition is important. Make sure the dragon stays well balanced, both in colour and placement of apparel.
When participating, you are to include both a full image of the outfit, and the outfit link, so I can save it. Always use the dragon it is intended for. In some cases, where the dragon has an incomplete gene project, if you are unable to show that outfit on the final plan, please provide another image using the marva's invisibility cloak, so I can do it myself.

All participants who join will go down here. When a name is crossed off, that means they have been eliminated. The contest is open to 32 participants. Each round, 2 will be eliminated, until we are left with the final 4. From there, our 1st, 2nd and 3rd will be decided, and 4th will be counted as an honourable mention. In other words, if you make it to the final 4, you're a winner no matter what!

The Honourable Mentions
At the end of the competition, all honourable mentions will go here, plus some comments on why I liked them.
The Honourable Mentions
At the end of the competition, all honourable mentions will go here, plus some comments on why I liked them.
Ok! Not gonna bother making this look fancy. Quite simply, some of you have asked good questions, and here is where you can find the answer.
Q: Are we allowed to provide multiple outfit options for the dragon we're dressing or can we only show one for our entry?
A: It will be limited to 1 outfit per person each round. While I understand the whole different ways of approaching thing, I would rather keep it as simple as possible. You can make as many as you'd like, but pick the best out of that.
Q: You really sure you want to give us carte blanche to use any apparel? Even retired festival, downtime, and Kickstarter apparel?
A: I didn't want to cross off kickstarter stuff, because when used very well, it's really nice. Now, I won't go picking a whole bunch with kick starter stuff mind you. It's only when that outfit, using the kickstarter stuff, is well and truly better than everything else.
Q: Question, do you prefer the dragon to be monochromatic or more color mismatch?
A: Worry not, I like both! As you might see by my completed outfits, I do prefer matching, however some colour combos work very well, and can help make the dragon stand out. Whatever you think looks best!
Q: I'm a little worried I won't be able to get online every day to submit an entry, though - I'm guessing we're automatically eliminated if we miss a round?
A: Yes, if you miss a round, you will be eliminated, which is why I am giving a full 24 hours for each round. Sometimes it may go a little over 24 hours due to my schedule in life, but I'll be trying to keep to 24 hours as much as possible. I'm a school student on a schedule, with upcoming exams. I want this finished quickly, without having to wait on others.
Q: Will you update the descriptions of the rest of the dragons? Or some of them are meant to be "wild card"?
A: Yes, most likely. Each time I present a dragon, I will give a blurb of text about it, that I have written right then and there. So it will be fully up to date. Even if some dragons don't have anything in their bios, for 95% of my dragons I have plans anyway.
Q: When will this start?
A: Once we reach 42 people!
I will be away over the next three days, from Monday 6pm to Thursday 3am (give or take), but after that I'll be sure to keep bumping till we have all 42 people.
Q: Does the dragons with lore and especially lores which explain some apparel pieces on them like Wild, need to stay? And does the outfit need to be based on the lore of the dragons which have them?
A: But aye, on something like Wild (who frankly doesn't need much updating) if apparel is specific to that dragon, I will mention it. This will hopefully throw in some challenges for you guys, as you will have to develop the outfit around said apparel.
And yes. I do want the outfit to be relevant to lore as much as possible. If the dragon is an architect, clothing more suiting a grim reaper is not where it should be taken, even if it looks good.
Q: Are you sure we can use all the slots? because i don't want you to look at an outfit and go "that's way too much apparels"
A: I myself have all slots unlocked! I enjoy cluttered apparel, just look at my plan for
one of my dragons. Now, not all clutter is good. It must be done well, and still preserve that dragon's uniqueness. You are in no way required to use all slots! Whatever you think works. I'm just leaving it out there as an option.
