Water Lili
So... The idea was to make an elegant swimsuit, with lace, 'cause I love lace.
And since there is already beach swimsuit avatar items, I decided not to go on the beach but by the lake. That's why I took the waterlily and the otter as main items. :)



Outfit - Water Lili Elegant Swimsuit - a nice bikini with laces, and over that a transparent skirt, plus pretty shoes and arm accessories.
Head - Water Lili Elegant Hat - a long hat with a big waterlily and ribbons.
Held - Water Lili Companion - a little otter with a ribbon.



Water Lillian
I obviously worked much on the female design, sorry for the male version, it is a bit less detailed and much more common... :/



Outfit - Water Lillian Elegant Swimsuit - same concept as the girl, but rather with a transparent shirt.
Head - Water Lillian Elegant Hat - one of those small hats boys wear on summer, but with a big waterlily.

Here's my Design!



Sylestia Hero!! In a way, it's like my Superman style or Super Girl! ^.^

We got the Outfit,

One Piece Outfit with the Boots

Held Item:
Side-kick Dog which can be different colors or the cape can be in different colors. The Crystal is in the hand as a beacon to communicate to your Companion when saving Sylestia.

Hair: Long windy Hair goldish Brown or Brownish Gold moving in the wind

Another Head Piece with Hair: The Tiara Form with the S symbol to it.

Cape to Wing/Backward: Long Cape flowing from the wind.

I had alot of fun with this one and it's the first time I did anything like this. I'm going to add a Background later... I may also add a Sylestia pet if I can figure out how to draw it, but I haven't seen much Dog like, so I like the Side-Kick with the cape as well.

Same Outfit, just different colors to show the Varies colors for the Outfit

Instead of using images, They're just colors like Blue/Green, Black/REd, and Purple/Pink. It'll be the same for the Side-Kick Companion as well, of their cape and collar.

Here's the Sky Background for the Sylestia Heroes:

I couldn't really think of a name for this set, but I wanted to do a cute and historically inspired take on swimming wear! These models would belong in ~1900 (if google didn't lie to me). Including some possible color schemes inspired by candy!

Fem version - Taffy

Male version - Sour Candy

Male - lollipop, female - licorice, female - taffy ("clean" version)

Outfit: Old timey swimsuit/Fancy swimsuit
Head: Cute sailor hat/Fancy sailor hat
Held: Fancy beach fan
Back: Beach Luggage (I don't know about you, but I always end up taking way too much with me, lol)

Name of entire outfit: Agent gear

. Now you will probably have no idea what this thing is, so let me explain. I based the entire avatar outfit off of the uniform that the agent characters wear in one of my favorite book series: Lockwood and co (The author is Jonathan Stroud). In this book they fight off ghosts, so ya, that's why the avatar is battle ready.

Outfit: A black warm sweater, comfortable brown leggings, black army boots with socks, agent belt with pouches to hold salt bombs, greek fire, etc in. THE GREYISH LONG SWORD LOOKING THING THAT'S ATTACHED TO HER BELT ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS A RAPIER.

Head item: Night vision goggles that allow adults to see ghosts (aka visitors)

Wings: They're the gray thing coming out from her back. They're an iron angel- mech like wing.

Back: A ghost giving off green whisps of deadly ectoplasm.

Hand item: It's the grenade looking thing in her hand. It's a salt bomb. Salt bombs are kinda like grenades, but instead of explosions, it splatters salt everywhere (Ghosts are weakened by salt and iron).

If you upload your image to Imgur and paste the link here with the [/img] brackets then it should work ^.^ hope this helped

Other tips
-image should be a png or jpeg (that seems to have less problems)
-be sure to paste the image link
- double check to see all your link is in the brackets and the brackets are correct.

Here's my entry for the contest. Sorry that my art isn't very good and also that it's still in progress. X

All of the items together are called Solar Regalia, the outfit is called solar armor, the wings are supposed to be sunlight shining out from behind or something. I was originally thinking of making fire wings but I didn't have enough time. Anyway the back item is the flames floating around the player and the gem, which is on fire, behind the headdress. The held item is a magma/solar snake that is slithering along the players arms. The head item is a feather headdress. The colors are all supposed to be flame centered, with like red, orange, yellow, blue, and white.

Idk know what I'm doing wrong.... I made myself an imgur account and I copied the image link.

Here's the image link: http://imgur.com/LXmTDo0

And I pressed the IMG button, and then I put the image link in between the two brackets things like this:
[IMG thing] Mycontestentrylink [IMG thing]

But it still appears as a black x box.... and I'm pretty sure it's a png or jpeg.... What am I doing wrong?

I see it is doing the same for me as well and is saying failed URL when I try to upload it back to imgur, maybe try re-uploading it to imgur and trying again :/ sorry I couldn't be of more help

Actually If you want I can PM you so you can send the file to me in an Email, and I can see what I can do and send you a link that works hopefully.
