Flying carpets are SO last week

Animation link: http://impress.openneo.net/outfits/1518796
"Cleo's shiny new isomorphic exoskeleton wings and tail enabled her to fly many miles without fatigue, but using the old methods could be kind of fun too. So she charmed a magma usul bow instead of using a boring old rug. This way, she could show off her awesome air board skills, and keep her feet warm when she visited her friends in the Happy Valley."

"Leslie had only scraped enough neopoints for her background, Snowy Mansion Background, and threw on some of her painted clothes (the poor dear is a Lab Rat with quite a collection from all of her Zaps) to admire herself and declared, "Well, I definitely feel like a citizen of the Neopian World! "

Oh my Gosh! There were so many entries to this contest and there were very good choices too! Good luck to everyone  

 

21 ENTRIES!!! 

Wow, that's awesome!

So Deb, is this more regulars than usual, or a bunch of new faces?

Wow so many awesome entries! Is this the most number of entries we've ever had? 

i voted for my favorite 3 entries :)

they're all really good 

I limited myself with my voting this time. I find it kind of amusing how we tend to enforce parameters on ourselves in things like this, lol, but that's by the by.

This time, instead of just voting for every one that I liked, which would have meant a tick from me for just about all of them, I restricted myself to only picking the ones that got a gut reaction from me; so two that made me laugh out loud, and one that got a WHOA! response got my vote this round.

REALLY nice to have so many to choose from, and thank you to the two of you who gave me a giggle.  

I just had a light bulb moment.

If we are to use "only paint brush" items, why are there so many robot parts? I guess mutants wouldn't have been allowed either. Or are robots okay because it is a customization that completely converts the pet using one item/zap? Or was the description getting too long and someone just said "Shucks, they know what we mean, these neopet people are all certified geniuses"?

If it was the final option, thank you.

I think it was a case of anything DTI classifies as is:pb.  That's why the usul bow that they didn't correctly mark as usul only was able to be used.  If you want to consider it more from a neo perspective, then any clothes that come automatically with a color, that you cannot remove from your closet (except when transferring a pet wearing them).  Mutants could have counted, they just wouldn't have been able to wear any clothes.

The "robot parts" you're referring too are actually called a housing. So essentially the neopet is walking around inside a robotic tin can that fits its body shape. Any pet color would have been allowed. If one was to choose a mutant pet or a maraquan pet there would not be any paint brush clothing options for it to wear and the entrant would only be allowed to use a background. So depending on your choice of NP background, you could have a really good entry.

The idea behind this round was simplicity. I was inspired by Angelo's latest Peophin crosspaint and I was curious to see what others would come up with. another thing I thought about was these outfits would be something anyone could achieve if they cannot afford to buy NC or are cheapskates like myself who don't purchase any. (Instead I'd rather waste my money on my PS4)

Does that help clarify things or answer your question?

This is 100% correct 

For the record though, no one is expected to know or understand everything all the time! So if a theme description is unclear, please let me know by posting in the topic where I announced it (usually titled "Enter The Runway #XX!") or by sending me a PM.

Edit: The winners have been announced! Congrats to @queen_hatshepset, @babayaga67 and @claudasaurus2! And thanks to everyone who participated, this was a great round  You guys were extra creative!

Oh my goodness!!! I've never won before! It is sooooo cool seeing the peophin I dressed up on the home page! Thank you everyone for your votes! 

Congrats you guys!

Especially @babayaga67 aren't you glad you remembered to enter now?

Congratulations to queen_hatshepset on your victory!

 

@jellysundae Heck yes!
