I had never thought of it, but since Neith mentioned it I've started considering it like a great idea.
And we can actually do something completely different, if that pleases us.
It does not have to be a contest in the sense of this thread, it could be something else - so we still have use for both threads!

@Li-Li:
Yep, that's true.
But I personally like having some reference threads which I can add to my bookmarks. Sometimes I don't check other threads at all, only the ones I regulary post in.


EDIT:
I finally created a new thread.
Feel free to check it out if you wish.

I finally decided to create something different, not a contest kind of thread.
Just a 1 to 1 challenge which works the same way as the avatar games - but requires creating an avatar.
I'm not sure whether that's gonna work, maybe nobody wants to post :mcheh: but if people like it then we'll have a challenge avaliable at any time :mccute:
It could certainly move faster than a weekly contest, specially since we are having trouble finding people to host.

So Neith, if you still feel like hosting a weekly challenge, please do so here in this thread.
I would certainly participate in it too!

Okay then, new Contest :
Try to make your best "monochrome" avatar :mcwink:
You can use several greens together, or blues, or pinks... -you get it-
BUT it should stay in the same kind of colour.
NO splash (even small) of another very different colour allowed

Just like this one :)

Some reminders :

Thanks for hosting, Neith!

I think your format is cool btw, and your rules+deadline fit the current state of this thread.
So I'm definetely joining. Just let me think which color I should choose!

OK, this was quite challenging.
Since we can't use anything at all in other colors we should be also using a skin in whatever color we choose - and the skin color is a big deal for me when I create avatar!

Even going for "monochrome" I wanted to make something with contrast, so I chose four different purple colors: Bright Berry (the brighter one), Violet and Amethyst (both medium) and Midnight Purple (the darker one).

I'm quite happy with the result :mccute:
But since we can make two entries, I'll probably try another day with a monochome avatar in which colors blend.

Loving this contest, I'm hoping many people join! :qstar:

Alright, I can't tell if I've succeeded or not.
Is this skin tone sufficiently reddish?

Yeah, skin is always a bit tricky for monochrome, there's no all that many shades and sometimes they're really super hard to match so I think it's okay as long as it doesnt stand out too much from the rest :)

If you're talking about your ava though Aki, marroon+that skin is okay but the orange doesn't really belong. I dunno if it was about a "work in progress" or if the question extended to the full avatar :qcute:
