CYCLE 2 / TASK 1

Welcome, new designers! I am so thrilled to begin our second cycle, and with so much talent on board, I'm sure this will be one to remember.

Now, for your first task, we're going right down to the basics. We want to get a real feel of your style and skill, as well as test your creativity.

For this weeks task, we want you to create two, one of a kind .png outfits. These looks must contain at least 3 pieces each (ie; top, bottoms, and shoes or dress, shoes, and accessory) and must be entirely your own design! You may use basic templates for shape/shading references, but the aim of this task is to show us just how creative you can be without models or fancy backgrounds. You could create two street style looks, two couture looks, or one of each! Let your imagine run wild. We're really looking for something interesting and unique that jumps out from the pack. There are very minimal restrictions on this task, so this is your opportunity to stand out from the crowd and secure and early lead!

Your designs must be created using my infamous mannequin design (below). An HQ imgur link has also been provided.






To clarify, you must create TWO, totally unique .png outfits, expressing your personal taste, style, and creativity, using the mannequin provided. Clothing templates may be used, but should not be relied on. 

If you are unsure of the nature of .png outfits, check out the X Apparel page at X Visual Space to view all the collections of Stardolls original and most prolific png store. 

The deadline for this task is Tuesday the 26th of April 2016. You have until then to send in your completed work. I strongly insist that each and every one of you, carefully read through the SUBMISSION page; here you will find helpful information on how to submit your work, and to protect it. 



Good luck - let the project begin!

You may be wondering why only 8 contestants were chosen instead of 10, and that's because unfortunately not enough people signed up for this cycle. Luckily for those who did, you all got a place in the competition.
