Contest The Wicked Sweet Triathlon [Multi-Skill] - WINNER POSTED (Post 964)

The Wicked Sweet Triathalon will be the most difficult contest of all and will be for the biggest prize: a fullset Leekeworld Kiel Ent!



Second Prize will be a Dikadoll Bonnie (normal, yellow skin with faceup), generously donated by Mint on Card.



Third Prize will be an AiL Bertram head, generously donated by RoseDolls.


In August there will be three feats of skill; the first two events will each last one week, the final will last almost two weeks. Votes in these events will count as points, and points will be cumulative. At the end of the the three events, the person with the highest score wins! Please note, you must participate in all 3 events to have a chance at the prize - this is also a feat of endurance!

Each challenge will be posted individually, right when that section is going to begin! If the challenge will require special supplies, we will give notice several days before the challenge is issued.

Please note that it is possible to participate just for fun, without being in the running for first prize. Do not accept the prize if you do not intend to keep it; it is unsportsmanlike to sell the prize after receiving it and anyone found doing this will receive a Marketplace suspension and be barred from future contests. ​

Challenge #1: Risqué Business

Socks are soooooo 2009! We've all moved on, we'll all become more sophisticated.... more... risqué. That's why this year we're making a fabulous doll outfit out of ladies' underwear.

Yes, that's right.

You are hereby challenged to make a lovely outfit, with no restrictions on style, using only two pairs of panties.




You may use:

• TWO (2) pairs of women's panties, any style. They can be lacy, they can be simple; choose the ones that suit your design. They do not have to be the same style. For example, you might buy a pair of cutie pattern briefs for color and a pair of belly-button high granny panties for yardage.
• Thread, any ONE (1) color. Thread may be used as a design element, so choose your color wisely. You may NOT substitute other thread-like materials, such as sewing elastic, ribbon, yarn, or embroidery floss.
• Snaps. These are to be used purely as fasteners and may not be used as design elements. No zippers, grommets, etc. unless you can somehow find a pair of panties that has them.

The following styles are acceptable for use:

The outfit must be removable, so you cannot just sew your doll into the outfit.

You may NOT use any items other than those listed above. Make good use of lace, ribbons, lacing, elastic, and buttons that can be found on the panties you choose.

Please note that you can NOT use men's boxers due to the fact that there is frequently a lot more fabric in much more "convenient" cuts.

You will need to provide the following photos:

• A "before" picture showing your doll with your two pairs of chosen panties. This will allow us to see the underwear and compare the amount of fabric you started with to your finished outfit.
• A full-length picture of the outfit on your doll that shows the whole outfit. This must be shown on an on-topic doll. We're sorry, but you will need to own or borrow at least one full doll (head and body) to participate in the The Wicked Sweet Triathlon (TWST).
• A picture (or collage of pictures made into one image) that shows your favorite detail or details.
• A picture of the outfit by itself, not modeled on the doll. This is to verify that it can be removed.

We probably don't have to tell you this, but we do not want to see any pictures of you or any other humans modeling panties. It is also in everyone's best interest (particularly your expensive doll's cleanliness and your own self-respect) to use new, unused underwear for this venture.

Entry Details

ENTRY FORM NOW AVAILABLE!

Who May Enter?

This contest is open to all members who do not currently have any unresolved transactions or other disciplinary measures in place. Members must have joined the forum before June 25th, 2011.

The contest is also open to all forum staff, though staff may not participate for prizes. If you have won a doll or part of a doll in a past DoA contest, you may enter for fun but you may not participate for prizes.

​

Rules

1. Minimal use of photo editing, please. We want to be impressed by your creation, not your amazing use of Photoshop.

2. The outfit must have been created specifically for this contest.

3. No posting entries or others photos that are recognizably from the same photo shoot until after judging is closed.

4. Outfits must be modeled on on-topic dolls.

​

Specifications

You may submit one outfit only.

Photos must be sent in JPEG format, 600 pixels on the longest side. Oversized photos or photos sent in the wrong format will be disqualified.

Entries will be accepted from August 1st to 11:00pm EST August 7th. For those of you who are unaware, the US is on Daylight Saving time. Entries received after this time will be disregarded; if you do not know what time this is where you are, use this link.

Entries will be submitted directly to the moderators using a form that will become available in a few days.
Do not PM Truffle or any of the other moderators with your entry; this form is the only way to enter.

If you are not interested in the top prize, please indicate this on your entry form. Do not accept the prize if you do not intend to keep it; it is unsportsmanlike to sell the prize after receiving it and anyone found doing this will receive a Marketplace suspension and be barred from future contests.

​

Voting

Entries will be posted for member voting from August 9th-August 13th. Votes will be submitted and tallied privately using a new feature in the forum software. The totals will be made available on completion of voting.

Entries will be posted without the entrants' names to try to avoid this being a popularity contest. For this reason, we must stress that identifying your entry to others will lead to disqualification.

We will also be employing the same codename system as last year - pick a good secret identity for this year's contest! You may not use the same code name you used last year.

​

Points and Prizes

This is the first task in the quest for the Kiel Ent, listed in the first post. Please remember that you must complete all three challenges in order to qualify for the prize. You may join for fun at any time, but you can only win if you have participated in all sections.

Members will choose the best entries in three not-yet decided categories - so there will be three ways to earn points! Focus on making a great outfit and you'll be on your way to earning points no matter what categories are chosen! Unlike last year, we will also allow members to vote on "just for fun" entries; even if entrants don't want the prize, it's fun to see how they ranked! (And it's a pain keeping straight who is doing what).

The scoreboard will be updated in the opening post at the end of each segment.

Challenge #2: Shadowcasters

All right, now for a change of pace. This portion of the contest is to make a doll-scale prop - a light source for your doll.

This may be a lantern, a candelabra, a flashlight, a lamp... the important thing is that it must produce light, even if its means of doing so is by being on fire.

There are SO many options! Just do a Google image search for some ideas!

You may...

• ...use pieces of premade items, such as battery-powered tea lights, doll house lighting, birthday candles, etc., but you must alter them into something new.
• ...create your own circuits or lighting elements from scratch. You don't have to make something from something else.
• ...use any other items or material needed to create your prop.
• ...interpret creating light as you wish. It does not need to be a household lighting item - it can be anything from a campfire to a magic spell!

You may not...

• ...use an unaltered, store-bought item. For example, if you find a tiny flashlight at the store, you can't just submit it as-is. We aren't going to ask for a percentage of change, but in an ideal world we shouldn't be able to tell right away where your components came from.

You will need to provide the following photos:

• A "before" picture showing your materials.
• A picture of the prop by itself.
• A picture of the prop "in use" (lit up) with your doll. You can use other props and items to help convey the mood. Any pose, any mood.
• A picture of the doll, casting some sort of shadow using the light source that you made. This picture MUST be submitted in black and white. If you do not have photo editing software, there are online options such as Pixlr that you can use!

Challenge #3: The Doppelgänger

Doppelgänger
1

: a ghostly counterpart of a living person ​

2

a : double
b : alter ego
c : a person who has the same name as another
​

Playing into the concept of the shadow, your final task is to create and photograph a 1:1 scale representation of your doll.

By 1:1 scale, we mean that your doppelgänger should be about the same size as your doll. So if your doll is 60cm, you would make a 60 cm representation; if your doll is 20cm, you would make a 20 cm representation.

The doppelgänger can be a sculpture in the round, it can be a "flat" representation such as an actual-size paper doll, or it can be something in the middle. It can be jointed or in a fixed pose. The important thing to remember is that you will have to photograph your doll interacting with it. In some mythologies, a doppelgänger is simply an identical body double; in others, it is an ominous or completely unrepressed version of oneself. For further information, check out this great article. How you define a doppelgänger and its meaning is up to you, but you would do well to consider your particular portrayal and make sure it works with your choice of construction.

It should resemble your doll, but does not need to be an exact likeness - if you want to make a balloon-animal version of your doll, go for it! If you want to wrap Christmas lights around a wire armature, do it! Be creative and play with aspects of your doll's character or try out a new medium.

You can use any material or technique except those listed below:

• No premade doll parts, wigs, clothing, or accessories. You can't use other dolls or parts of other dolls (so no using option hands or heads, premade cloth bodies or dress forms, etc) or premade wigs or clothing. There is only one exception to this rule - You MAY use premade eyes.
• No moldmaking/casting. Not only is it illegal to make copies of your doll or parts, it gives some members an advantage because they have the knowledge and/or materials.
• Your doppelgänger cannot be made of pieces you created earlier. For example, if you are a wigmaker, you will need to make a new wig specifically for this project rather than using one from your stock. If you are a sculptor, you can't reuse a head that you made before the contest.

You will need to provide 4 images:

• One picture of the doppelgänger by itself.
• One picture of the doppelgänger with your doll, unposed and just for comparison.
• One picture showing a favorite detail or a collage showing multiple cool details of your doppelgänger.
• One artistic photo of your ONE doll interacting with its doppelgänger. No extra dolls. This picture can be in black and white or color - choose which fits your image and concept best!

Please keep a high resolution version of the last image. If there are enough entries, I would love to make a calendar or something using the photos!

If you want to journal about your project and ideas, you can post in the progress journal using this form!
