Wow, people, so Em came up with a really good idea...sure, Jimmy is the reason the mainsite exists, and I guess that sort of makes him the unofficial mascot there, but the forums have their own unique culture and atmosphere, so it stands to reason that there should be some sort of original mascot to represent us and all the fun we've had here over the years. That's where this contest comes in!

DA RULES:
- Design an e-doll mascot using elouai or thedollpalace's candybar dollmaker. It can be male or female, but it should reflect IDOJ in some way...whatever that means to you.
- Come up with a name for the character. You are not allowed to include a personality description, since the appearance of the character should be enough to convey what s/he is like.
- Post the name and picture here!
- Each person is allowed ONE entry, so design yours carefully!
- The deadline is one month from now, so March 18th. I'm making the contest short to discourage the sort of petering out that we've seen in other IDOJ contests recently.
- The winner will be picked by popular vote.

PRIZES:
- Your character will be the new IDOJ mascot. Duh!
- I have no doubt that some sort of fanart will ensue.
- Other prizes to be provided by kind donators?

Well, that's all I've got for you guys. I really hope this contest works out, because it seems like it could be a lot of fun, and we've been notoriously bad about contests over the past year and a half. Finally, in the immortal words of Hugh, haaaaaaave fun with it!

You should enter, for Em's sake! An IDOJ mascot was her idea, after all

@Em: Very small edits are fine (for example, adding a puppy in the frame or changing the eye shape), but outfit/background/hairstyle changes are probably a bit too much.

@Crys: That is BOSS.

I've decided not to enter, because of lack of time due to schoolwork and story writing.

Awww Urvy it doesn't take that much time. I think I designed mine in an hour, only because I was looking for a pirates hat and had a really hard time choosing between the skull and cross bones hat and a strawberry hat.

Ya, it only took me like 25 min to make mine. It's really not that time consuming.

So this, I'm guessing, would be considered too much... RATS!!! I just kept seeing more strawberry stuff on Candybar and eLouai to add to it!!

[Mara=^.^=]

That's all right, I like your original entry better anyway, Em...the brown background on the second one sort of muddies the pic, for some reason...
