Hello everyone! We will be holding an Avatar Item Design contest for the 2025 Spring Festival! Please make sure to read the rules carefully!


Contest Rules

1. Design Avatar Items for this Festival. Please use the provided bases to draw your designs on.

Male Avatar Base
Female Avatar Base


The following can be included all in one entry for Avatars:

1-3 Avatar Held Items
1 Avatar Outfit Item (Male and Female options allowed)
1-3 Avatar Head Item
1 Avatar Cloak Item
1 Avatar Accessory Item
1 Avatar Tail Item
1 Avatar Wings Item
1-2 Avatar Aspect Items
1 Avatar Background Item


2. You must draw your new Items on the provided Avatar bases. If you feel that your drawing skills aren't great, then you can include a description in addition to your drawing in order to help us better envision your Items. If you are unable to draw something, then we are sorry, but there will be no exceptions. Your submission must look like it required some amount of effort to create. For example, drawing a few straight lines on a canvas and saying that they're "armor" will not count towards participation.

3. Avatar Items submitted must be Themed to this Festival. This means that it can be anything related to the season, such as any holidays that occur within the season, weather, etc.

4. Please do not reserve posts. If you reserve a post, we will delete your post.

5. Please do not Ping me with your submission. Please only Ping me if you have a question.

6. Before submitting your entry, please make sure to scan the thread to see if someone else has already done something similar. Try to make your entry unique and if someone has already done something that you were wanting to do, then we highly suggest that you pick something different. If you feel that someone has "copied" your design, please do not say anything to that person - especially in this thread. We will intervene ourselves if we see something that's suspicious.

7. You may only submit ONE official entry for the Items listed above. If you wish to submit more, then you can send me a PM with drawings of your ideas. However, all PM'd entries that are sent to me will not count for prizes.

8. IMPORTANT: By participating in this contest and submitting your designs to us, you agree that we, Sylestia Games LLC, will retain full rights to your submission to use as we see fit for the purposes of Sylestia.com and Sylestia Games LLC. You will not receive any royalties or reimbursement from us if we decide to use your designs, or otherwise. Any designs that we pick will be recreated from scratch by our art team; we will only be using your submission as a reference for said artwork. We reserve the right to alter your design in any way that we see fit and are not obligated to adhere to any specific depictions or descriptions that are provided.

9. DO NOT comment on someone's entry unless you have something nice to say. If someone copies your entry, then have faith in us that we will determine the correct winner. Please do not fight over entries. If we see anyone doing this in the thread, then whoever is fighting will be disqualified and potentially receive a Forum Strike.

10. The end date is February 28th, 2025 at 11:59 PM server. After that, there is no guarantee that we will see your entry and the thread will be locked once designs are picked.


Important Copyright Infringement Notice

We are very aware that it's typical to use Google and/or other providers to search for ideas when designing artwork. However, it is extremely important that all of your submissions are created entirely by you and are not copied from another's work. If you are using other artwork as a reference, please ensure that your submission is changed sufficiently to be clear and obvious that it is indeed your work. This is extremely important, not just for ethical reasons, but also for legal reasons when we are implementing something onto our site. Thank you!

Here's my flower-themed dress for spring!

Please tell me if this is too similar to an existing design or if the image breaks :)

- Far Traveller -
(Inspired by migratory birds, windchimes, and raindrops/morning dew)
Avian bards singing songs of marvelous worlds far, far away.

>> If colours make details hard to see: Lineart Only <<

[Colour Variation: Wallcreeper]
(Fun fact! All suggested colour variations are actual migratory birds!)
Keywords: mountains, smoke
Full Sets


Outfit: Far Traveller's Outfit

Sturdy but stylish robes in many layers, falling to brush against the traveller's long tail and curling talons.

Cloak: Far Traveller's Cloak

A thick cloak and winding scarf for colder climates.

Head: Far Traveller's Hair (Loose & Tied)

Long hair adorned in strings of beads and chimes, atop which sits a fluttering pair of wings.

Wings: Far Traveller's Wings

Broad wings with long feathers, chiming musically in the wind.

Held: Far Traveller's Guardian & Far Traveller's Lyre

The road is long and treacherous, so a loyal companion is a must. And, of course, a lyre to tell tales with.

Aspect: Far Traveller's Entourage

The bard's personal following of songbirds to enhance their performance.

Alternatively, instead of being a held:
Aspect: Far Traveller's Guardian



Alternate Colours
Might paint variations if I have time, but for now, some ideas:

[Colour Variation: Eurasian Hoopoe]
Keywords: deserts, rushes

[Colour Variation: Himalayan Monal]
Keywords: galaxies, planets
