El Toro Costume Contest! (UPDATE)
11 years ago
General
UPDATE: Since it looks like a lot of folks are struggling with their entries, I'm going to extend the deadline another week, to the end of FEBRUARY 15TH! If you have any questions, please send me a note, or reply to this journal!
Just posting this up in a journal, just in case! If you haven't seen it already, I'm holding a costume contest for a new design for El Toro, the reference art for which can be found here. The winner will get a FREE PICTURE OF EL TORO IN HIS NEW COSTUME WRESTLING THE DESIGNER'S CHARACTER OF CHOICE! And here are the rules, again posted for convenience and better coverage:
- EL TORO IS A LUCHADORE SUPERHERO. Okay, it's not so much a rule as it is a fact. Just keep it in mind when designing!
- DO NOT REMOVE THE NOSE RING! For reasons.
- THOSE ARE EL TORO'S FEET, NOT HOOF-SHAPED SLIPPERS. They stay too.
- DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE HORNS. The dude can get in an out of shirts with collars using cartoon and superhero physics. Don't worry about designing around them.
- IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE HAIRCUT, FEEL FREE TO CHANGE IT. El Toro's kinda vain about his hair, but if it doesn't fit with his new costume, you can get rid of it.
- MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE A FRONT AND BACK. While I'm sure not many would mind if El Toro ran around with his backside bare, it's still a bit embarrassing! Provide designs for both his front and back so we get the whole picture!
- INCLUDE NOTES (OPTIONAL). Notes can help show why specific costume pieces were chosen, and can also include information not readily obvious from the picture alone!
- POST IT TO FA AND USE THE KEYWORD ELTOROCOSTUMECONTEST. Be proud of your submission! Plus, this means I'll be able to quickly find the entries when the deadline rolls around.
- SEND ME A LINK. Juuuust in case you mess up the keyword, or forget to use it. Don't want you accidentally left out after all your effort!
- DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 15TH. After that, i'll review the entries and inform everyone of a winner as soon as I decide!
- HAVE FUN. Well, duh. But seriously, you can make your design look however you want. Feel free to just fart around and make him wear a pink tutu for laughs. I can't guarantee that a tutu will win, but hey, hilarity!
So, everyone got all that? Great! If you're having trouble and need to see an example, I posted one here. Hope it helps!
