queen_hatshepset Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Holy moly there are so many good entries for this Runway! Aaahahaha I love the One Ring! That is so creative! Gosh I love all of them. Great creativity everyone aleu1986 and Nielo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellysundae Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I've had my usual problem here of do I vote for ALL the ones I like, or keep it to just the ones I really like. Second option won in the end this time around but I always end up wishing you could grade your voting. So here's B+ votes for these three entries, but these three get A★... but sadly that's only happening in my head.

Yuiina Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I was curious about the entries on this round! My favorite is nº 4. I think those are the type of customization that shine the most amongst Invisible pets, they're super creative It's clearly yours @jellysundae I'd like to point out that the reason I didn't vote on nº 11, even though I think the idea is super original and had lots of potentials, I don't feel like it worked. I don't mean to sound rude or anything but it's a pity because I think it had lots of potentials. Especially being myself a huge fan of LOTR. I don't understand why these items are there And for me, they ruined the entry. I'd have fallen in love if it was something like this (it's just a quick example) "In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a master ring. One ring to rule them all!" That'd definitely have my master vote! jellysundae and aleu1986 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuiina Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 @Angeló My brain doesn't see it that way My brain doesn't understand why he has the ring on and: - he has glitter on his body; - his feet/clothes/food is showing; - he's having rainbow colors coming out of him. It doesn't make sense on my LOTR brain department Of course, this is my opinion! Just wanted to point out that I loved the idea behind it but not the result aleu1986 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleu1986 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 The LOTR entry isn`t mine, but I can see the purpose of most of the items, such as the backpack, food and hairy feet - they all fit right in. The ring turns the wearer invisible. Check. (Except for the feet in this customizations case). I think it looks cool how you can see the ring, even if wouldn`t be visible in the book/movie. The animated effects, Swirl of Power and Curse of Strength look a bit odd in a still image -the animated version is better, if a bit flashy. Now, judging by the descriptions of the effects: "The power to transform into a hero," and "Power always comes at a price," it`s clear why they were chosen. If I were to make a Frodo/Bilbo customization myself, I would have gone with a visible pet, but that wasn`t the challenge in this round. It`s a fun idea, I just think it looks better/cleaner without the animated effects. Yuiina 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nielo Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 @Yuiina Everybody has a different image of famous characters in their minds, and we also all use/interpret Neo's items differently when customising an entry. To be honest, I don't really understand why you felt the need to point out here that #11 didn't match your image of Frodo. If you don't like an entry, don't vote for it, but you could've waited to ask for a clarification on the items until after this round ended, and the creator of the entry had been announced. I'm all for discussing the entries in this thread, but this seemed kind of needlessly critical to me. queen_hatshepset and hbw 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angeló Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I voted for the LOTR entry BECAUSE of the things @Yuiina pointed out (before she commented) ... so yes , we each have our own taste & preference ... I also understand what @Nielo is saying though ... because someone might read the comment and it would swing the votes one way or another ... Nielo didn't say you can't express your opinion , and of course Yuiina didn't mean any insult ... but maybe it's better to discuss the entry with the creator , either here or in Private Messages , after the results are announced :) ... I personally can't wait to know who did it ... As for some features in the images (like the Rainbow Rays in our example) ... this is something DTI can't control ... and some colors / animations come out weird in the still image ...

Like I said, I'm all for discussing entries in this thread, and you're definitely welcome to give your opinion on them! It's just that pointing out how much you love the idea, then showing how you would've done it completely differently, really only keeping the theme, which is an existing series of books and movies, comes across (to me*) as if you're saying you love the (existing) scene the entry represents, but not the entry itself... I have no doubt you meant it as a compliment, and there's a good chance the person whose entry it is will see it that way (and will disagree with me), but I do feel like it's kind of my responsibility (as Runway host) to jump in when I feel like one specific entry is being over-analysed (which is why I responded when I did, and not earlier). (*Perhaps this is a good time to mention that I don't know much about LotR at all. It's one of the few books I never managed to finish, and I gave up after the first film. So if I'm missing something here, I do apologise. This is just how it comes across to me, someone who knows nothing about the scene the entry represents.)

I know I took a chance with basing my entry on an episode of Moomin, lol, but I wasn`t feeling inspired so I ended up with something basic rather than something cool. But that`s okay!

preposter_ Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Howdy guys! I've been out of town & missed all of the excitement over my Frodo entry. Thank you all for your suggestions/defenses of my entry. I don't take offense at anything negative. Part of the fun for me is learning from what others do. I can’t tell you how many things have gone on my Wish List after seeing them on here. Thank you Nielo for trying to keep the discussion to after final voting has been made so it doesn’t affect a possible vote. I believe we all discovered that for some invisible pets all clothing becomes invisible too, while others it does not. So after deciding my character, the next decision was “do I want everything invisible & defined by trinkets, backgrounds, garlands or do I want to add some clothing & accessories?” Clearly I went with “add some” but I didn’t completely dress Frodo because he’s caught in a magic spell. Angeló you got it perfect in your comments: Frodo’s back pack, next meal, & hilarious hairy feet! Glad I got my ideas across. I love decorating Usuls & I like to have an Usul bow unless it conflicts with a cape or something. It makes me feel like the customization is complete. There isn’t an invisible Usul bow; so the Woodland Usul Backpack was just for me so Frodo wasn’t unclothed. I like Bruces to wear a bow, Elephantes to wear a hat & Ixis and Aishas to wear a collar. I didn’t look up the scenes when someone was wearing the ring prior to my entry. If I had done so, I may have made different selections. Having now viewed the scene from the Sign of the Prancing Pony, my swirling power/curse are very light, while the movies were very dark. I added the Markings because I thought Frodo still showed up in the scenes he’s wearing the ring. (He does.) The things around him are vague. So the markings define where he is. I used the 2 effects because they could both be worn together & represented the magic/curse of the ring. We all know a screenshot doesn’t represent our entries very well, but I tried to get the magic power/curse both represented. Thanks for the discussion, critique, & votes everyone. I agree with queen_hatshepset “Holy moly there are so many good entries for this Runway!” & jellysundae “do I vote for ALL the ones I like, or keep it to just the ones I really like.” At the end of the day I hope we all had fun. I know I did! Thank you also for those who voted for me. Yuiina, aleu1986, Nielo and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellysundae Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Posting this in here because it's so relevant, lol. @Yuiina sent me an NM last month and I blanked entirely on the last bit of it. Just read that bit, today, lol. Quote Checking it out now and I'm thinking "it's probably been changed by now," and then I saw it and I'm pretty sure it probably hasn't and I understood immediately what Yuiina meant. I'd have been very proud of myself if I'd come up with this as an entry for this round! The Meepit as a petpet is just the icing on the cake with this pet. Don't drink the Kool Aid!
