>Attention all Judges!
Please start inspecting each collage for cheating. (Abusing the editing tools)
On Saturday we've arranged to get together via Skype to start the Judging process. If you want more details, please send me an e-mail. Thanks!

Anons,
You if have ANY concerns about a contestant possibly cheating. Please do so PRIVATELY, either via email Doll.haus@ymail.com or message me on Tumblr. I would prefer that you attach some sort of proof as well. Please, refrain from cluttering up the thread with these types of posts. Thank you in advance.

The poll has been posted up on the Tumblr as I mentioned in the original post. At Midnight on Sunday, the poll will be closed. Please remember the winner will not be the overall winner of this contest, just the peoples favorite. The actual winner will be handpicked by the judges. In the case that the peoples favorite happens to be the girl we choose (which is unlikely) the prize will go to the girl with the second most votes.

That is a good question, since this is a /cgl/ contest. I would much prefer if Seagulls or people from other boards like /c/, /a/, /jp/ made the vote. Since it wouldn't be considered fair to ask "friends"- followers to help you with voting. (not every girl here has that option available to them) Its a different story if your friend is another anon who lurks 4chan, this would be considered keeping it in the community.

So please do not spam the link to get outside people to vote for you. I will consider it cheating and if I catch anyone doing this. I will black list you from future contests

I will be keeping an eye out for suspicious voting spikes.

Just refresh (F5) the screen and it will pop back up for you.

>>6748844
It's not abnormal for the poll to pop back up whenever you refresh the screen. I have verified that you cannot repeat vote. But the poll I used did not give me an option for placing only 1 vote, so you can place 2 different votes (Two different girls). But you cannot vote twice on the same contestant.

Remember, I will be keeping an eye out for suspicious voting. Please, do not be afraid to bring to my attention any possible cheating.

>>6748886
Good question anon. This is how everything is broken down.

The judges and myself will be picking a winner, who will earn the entire prize lot.

The two honorable mentions, DO NOT win a prize. Just like the previous contest. An honorable mention is basically a shout out to say they did very well.

The poll option is a new feature, where you the people get to interact more and pick your personal favorite. There will be a small prize for that winner.

From now on, there will be no more 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize winner. (As I mentioned after the last contest ended)
There will be one over all winner and from now on a poll winner. I hope this clears up the confusion. =)

>>6748958
Agreed. She sent me several photos, one of them being a high-res head shot of her asking for advice with makeup. You can clearly see light passing through the fibers in the flash lashes she applied.

Because she softened the bags under her eyes (Which is allowed) it gives the appearance of shopped lashes on top. I will pass the photo to Luna just to make extra sure, since shes our expert in such matters. But, as of now Aeliami has been cleared of cheating suspicious until otherwise noted.

Late submission or not, if someone likes the collage they will vote towards that person. I mean, look at Gulper Eel, she had the first collage and she only has a few votes considering how many people talked about and liked her entry.

I completely understand, anon. I have to say that nearly every contestant has been very upfront with me and admitted to anything they think could get them in trouble. Which, I really appreciate.

For now, I've hidden the votes on the poll. But, what I can say is that we have 76 voters so far and thats amazing. It seems like the poll has fixed itself, so if you already voted the poll won't show up anymore? Perhaps its a safety feature.

If you haven't voted already and the poll isn't showing up. I'll try to figure out whats going on, because its happened to me.

Okay, lets get back to discussing possible themes for next contest. Do you ladies still want a Dolly Look theme? Here are some other suggestions as well >>6748892 I want to hear some other ideas.

If we do RPG character I think you need to do some guidelines on the outfits. It seems a bit unfair if someone like Kamui with full sets of WoW armor is up against someone who has thrown together an outfit just for the contest, especially given the time constaints of the contest.

I have a contest suggestion. Elements. Like contestants basically pick an element to base their outfits off. It can appeal to cosplayers and JFashion fans too. Like mori fans could pick the element of earth, I'm sure lolita dresses would fit into a theme if they were color coordinated in and I'd love to see some water-themed lolita outfits. Some great excuses for elaborate make up in there too.

Sure. You can totally pick which one you want to do.

To be fair, /cgl/ is a broad board that caters to cosplayers and not just Lolitas and other J-fashion enthusiast. I would like to give everyone a fair chance at these contests and not every contest I host will away be accessible to everyone and vice versa. I think it would be nice to have a theme that allows cosplayers to go all out and if non-cosplayers want to give it a try,
they totally can.

I have never really tried "cosplay" before, so it was fun to try something new. I was going to skip this one when I saw the theme, because I get so embarrassed with posing and stuff, but it was surprisingly fun. Thanks for doing the contest :)

I was thinking about basic OC characters as well, but I would actually like to see some serious costumes. I feel like I've been excluding the cosplayers of this board and that isn't fair. A lot of them have been forced out of their element with the J-fashion type contests, I think it would make things fair if I had a theme that allowed to them do something more towards their strengths.

I mean, this is just my 2 cents on the subject. I'd like to hear more from the cosplayers of this board before I set anything in stone.

Since everyone's reporting in, I guess I'll join in too. All of you worked hard in choosing outfits, taking photos, making collages, lurking threads, posting on threads, re-taking photos and all the other things you guys did. It was lots of fun though.

Gulper Eel here, I'd like to thank all those who think I am kawaii sugoi and I'd like to wish good luck to the other girls. I have been glad to join in these contests because I'm learning more about how to present myself, make up and being creative around themes. To me it is hard to predict a winner because of all the different styles and inspirations, eg some seem more inspired by older anime moe and some more keion. It will be interesting to see who wins at least.

I've really enjoyed myself in these threads, and I'd like to thank CB for hosting this event. I'm glad that there's been good feedback and critique so far~
I'm excited that it looks like these are going to become regular things; lurking these threads, and pondering the meaning of 'moe' has been a nice diversion from real life. Even if I still don't quite get it, I had a lot of fun putting taking photos (and I got to eat an eclair!)

I'm stuck between choosing Eri and Aeliami. I liked Doki Knight's set up, but her nose kind of just threw it off.

Haniko: geriatric

Seraph: you're mom is a shitty photographer.

Sayuri: Needs better make-up.

Fleur: if you have a curved nose, don't take photos showing the side of your face.

Sarah- Jane: lose weight.

Alieami or whatever: If you have large caucasian eyes already, dont use so many eye enlarging techniques, it looks werid.

tako-hime: adorable nerd moe, but should be cuter.

mieru: a bitchy face is not moe.

rasulaka or whatever: lol, you're not in high school, you old bitch.

Hester: Nice porno gym uniform.

Fruitful Efforts: this is not a yaya han look alike contest, but you would win if it were.

Bee leaf: if you had put in more effort, you might have had the best entry.

Meisu: Shoulda kept the glasses on.

Pingu: I can't even tell what you really look like.

kit tea: you look like your posing for a catalogue for mail order brides shipped from 3rd world countries.

eri: again if you have a huge nose, don't take pics showing unflattering angles of it.

doki knight: that face is just kinda chubby and weird, the chunky fake lashes ain't helping wither.

Ai: only a few girls can pull off short hair well, longer hair would have looked better probably.

Anna: you look like anime, good, good.

Gulper eel: Pig snout.

I originally created a Facebook (I don't really use that thing) so I thought people could access things like rules etc, but then someone told me I need to create a FB fan page to make it more accessible to everyone. Learned how to do that. But I had some girls who didn't use FB and couldn't access the information. So finally made a tumblr and everyone was able to use that.

So my "follower" base is scattered between those three places and I'm proud to say that nearly all of them are from out community, with a few girls from the egl community. For me thats a lot of people considering I only advertize on here and I don't branch out and really make this contest too known to outsiders. That's why you will have a hard time finding this contest on tumblr if your searching for it.

>>6749476
Yes, but they advertized the crap out of it and made it readily accessible to everyone on tumblr and word spread quickly. I've made it pretty clear to the people of this board I want to keep this in the community and they've done a pretty good job on respecting that. Plus, for someone who never thought this would take off, I'm really proud of that number of votes.

>>6749618
Everyone is over 18, they just look young.

I think a cosplay contest next is necessary, or at least something cosplay related.
These contests are already pushing the boundaries of cosplay/Lolita related. It would be nice to see some people who have actually been here since before the jfashion rule.
The last thing we need here is irrelevant tumblrfags who have nothing to do with cgl at all

I'm a lolita with little to no experience with cosplay, and I don't think I'm alone in this. A cosplay contest sounds like fun, but I worry that that particular theme would really limit itself in terms of the number of entries it would receive.

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 6 23:23:56 2013 No.6750379 >>6750370 I'm a lolita too, so I kind of agree, but the first contest was specifically jfashion.

I think some themes, like angels/devils or elements, could work for either cosplay or J-fashion - cosplayers could make an OC while J-fashion people could put together a themed outfit. If those are too hard to compare, maybe we could have a winner in each category?

Also, more advance notice of the theme before the entry dates might be needed. In the contests so far, a lot of collages felt 'thrown-together' to me, not necessarily shoddy but just kind of rushed. Like people had to grab what was in their closet and try to make it work. Giving people more time to think about what they want their entry to look like and to order things like wigs and accessories, would result in better outfits and collages, imo.

You're very welcome. =)

>>6750237
This was a cosplay-lite themed contest. But, still cosplay no less. People did OC Moe Kyun characters will whatever they had in their closet...so closet-play would be a better term?

And the contest previous to that was a strictly all J-fashion contest. So both contest are very much board relevant. But, I don't advertize on tumblr and keep these contests in our community. I've randomly seen a good a mount of the contestants post in other threads, its just that a majority of them prefer to stay anon and don't trip.

>>6750370
Thank you for the feed back. If I had anything to say in response, I prefer quality over quantity. So if I got half the entries I usually do because this is a harder theme, I'd be fine with that. Like this anon mention >>6750379 I haven't really been fair to the Cosplayers of this board that might feel left out because the themes have been mostly geared toward J-fashion and a very watered down version of cosplay so that girls who are stronger with J-fashion could still participate.

In the end, I have no choice over which theme is picked in the end. That is completely left up to voting. Since we're on the subject...possible themes we have so far are:

>Dolly Look Theme
>RPG Character
>Angel & Demon
>Coords Team-up
>Manga Couple (Crossplay team-up)
>Elements Coord theme? (We need to find a better name for that one)

Any other themes?

Thank you anon, excellent advice and duly noted. I'm still new at all of this and sometimes I have to learn the hard way, but tips like this really help me out. =)

Okay, so when we finish with a contest and themes have been sorted out. I will host a poll and leave it open for a week. I will then announce the winning theme well in advance. So it gives everyone a good a mount of time to get ready? Then I will make a thread when it comes close to start date, maybe a week out from the contest and just to remind everyone. Does that sound good?

That can work and I forgot to add something as well. I really like that suggestion that this >>6750405 anon mentioned. I agree that some themes are very cosplay/j-fashion friendly and for those themes have two categories. One for cosplayers and one for J-fashion enthusiasts.

Though not all themes will be as transferable, for example an coord team-up or dolly look theme. (Wasn't fit an opposite coords team-up?) But, what we can do is have themes just cosplayers. Like, Salior Scout or Jojo's bizarre adventure? Just to make things even.

I'd like to hear some thoughts on this please.

I'd be most interested in the RPG character one if we had enough notice and time to put something together. There was a little over 3 weeks given and most people were still rushing, and this is a more simple look.

For a contest with less notice given, my vote would be with elements or seasons.

I feel we have the makings of a /cgl/ dating sim here.

Haniko - magical girl character who becomes unlockable as a bonus after you beat the game once.
Seraph - Obviously yandere. Her scores in chemistry-class are top-notch.
Sayuri-chan - sweet, loner artist type, found in different areas all over the map. the player will have to really hunt for her event locations.
Cafes des Fleur - the imouto type. She brings out the protective instincts in all males.
Sarah-Jane - Has a bubbly, outgoing personality. she's secretly a big fan of Magical Girl Haniko, but hides it from her classmates.
Aeliami - Probably related to the main character in some way (stepsister, cousin, etc.) but a little tsundere towards him. She's really good at video games and likes playing against the PC just to beat him.
Tako-Hime - the class president. Her academic record is immaculate, but she's not very good at social interaction. Her best friend is her pet octopus.
Mieru - a foreigner and shut-in. She's from a very good family, but has poor health and often has to take sick days from school. One of the more difficult characters to court.
Rusalka - think Nene Anegasaki. She is the dependable big sister from whom everyone asks for help. She likes doing homework and watching thrillers and horror films.
Hester - the first character who you meet in the game; it is heavily implied that the PC was once her most beloved childhood friend. She's chipper and is constantly rooting for the player's success.
Fruitful Efforts - She's the most popular server at a local cafe, and is noted for both her sweet tooth and large fanbase. If the player wants to catch her attention, he has to visit the restaurant quite often.
Bee Leaf - Another server at the cafe, but she's part-time since she's still in school. At work, she wields a broom against any customer who gets too grabby. She keeps her job a secret so she won't be harrassed.
cont.

Meisu - the class brain. She's hard-working and seems like the silent type at first, but close inspection of her accessories reveal a weakness for cute things.
Pingu - A female otaku who hangs out at the local game arcade. She's difficult to approach until you prove that you can hold your own in the arcade. Not surprisingly, the regulars get quite protective if they catch the PC making moves on her.
Kit-tea - A drowsy girl who's constantly falling asleep in class. She keeps a dream diary that could probably be turned into an epic fantasy novel one day.
Eri - The 'girl next door'. She has an enormous and blatantly obvious crush on the PC, but is so shy that whenever they speak she can hardly stammer out a full sentence.
Doki Knight - One of the most popular girls at school, but a bit ditsy. She's often late, but teachers can never bring themselves to write up her tardies since she expresses her apologies with so much emotion.
Ai - A tomboy who goes to a rival school. The ultimate tsundere. When the PC and Ai first meet, she's quite rude (even more so when he discovers she's a server at the cafe! oh no how embarrassing) but softens up over time.
Anna - She's the daughter of a local entrepreneur, and works at her father's store. You can buy gifts for the different characters there, and she often gives advice on what the player should give to the lady of his dreams. Her collection of stuffed animals is very impressive.
Gulper Eel - A mysterious silver-haired student. It's unknown whether she actually attends the player's school, since she never seems to be in class. It turns out her father is an important scientist who donated a lot of funding to the school, so the administration is a little frightened of disciplining her.

Ouch, it was so damn rough. I've decided to bump the honorable mentions to 4 slots. (Basically top 5 with the winner at the top)

The polls are closed. Though I did notice some suspicious voting, since my poll allows me to see voting areas/states and a few other things. I will not say names for the sake of peace and not singling that person out for embarrassment. I will also post the top 10 in the poll as well.

We decided to use a point system to judge. (Out of 100 Possible points)
>Theme – 20 points
How well did they use they're theme in various things from styling/posing and setting the overall mood? Do you get the theme?
>Overall look – 20 points
How is the over all look of the collage? Does the collage look cluttered? Did they put effort into designing their collage? Does everything flow with each other?
>Posing & Expression – 20 points
Did they put an effort into posing? Did they get into character? Is there any expression in their face?
>Clear face & Body shot - 10 point
Do they have a clear face shot and clear full body shot? Is the photos blurry?
>Hair/ makeup/clothing – 30 points
Did they put effort into their costumes? Did they style their hair and does it look messy? Are they wearing make and is it complementary to their look? Is the over all look polished?

6 AM EST
The grand prize winner will be announced and the poll winner, also the 4 honorable mentions who rank in the top 5.
I will not post scores here, but contestants can request to have those results sent to them. I will also give an explanation attached to those results to better help them in the future. =) (Contestants, please refrain from posting results to the board. Obviously, I will know if you do so since they're all unique to each person.) Last contest, we did have a huge s**t-storm about who won and I'd really not like to see a repeat of that.

No that is not the case at all. This matter only concerns the poll and that matter has been dealt with.

You ladies made it so-so-so hard to judge! I stayed up all night going through each collage and nit-picking and tallying votes. I had 5 cups of coffee and barely made it out on time in the morning to take my daughter to school/daycare. But it was so much fun regardless!

Congrats Meisu on winning the poll! =) I'll be sending you an e-mail here in a little bit. I just have some pictures to take and submit to the contest pages.

I voted for Meisu, too. c: I'm glad I'm not alone in my secret fangirling, it helps that I'd seen her around in WAYWT threads & the like as well and so had some prior experience with her personality.
I wasn't actually expecting to place, but I won't pretend I'm not a little disappointed, haha~ this just means next contest I'm really going to bring my A-game.

I honestly feel so bad sometimes, because I know how much work everyone has put into their characters and collages and then having to pick someone to be the best. Yeah...=<

I was really impressed with everything and the turn out was amazing. Thank you girls for being so great! I look forward to seeing you in the next contest. We have some awesome themes to pick from for next round.

>>6753433
You're super welcome! It was so worth it. I'm really excited about the next contest and curious to see what theme is picked.

Actually, can anyone recommend a good camera for taking pictures and also does video? I don't have a price point, I just want something good. Thanks in advance!

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 8 09:18:31 2013 No.6753459 >>6753452 If price isn't a worry you should probably talk to some of your photography acquaintances from your modeling time, I'm sure they'll be able to give you the best advice on a good camera.

*hug* Thank you! I know exactly who to ask in that matter then. I sometimes forget I still have these people in my back-pocket and I just see them as good friends and I sometimes forget their photographers. You need reminders about these things as you get older. ~_~
So now that the contest is over, I just wanted to remind Seagulls that I will be on "vacation" for a little bit. As you know my health hasn't been the greatest and I need to take some time to recover. I leave in a few days and I return to Korea in July.

Of course I will have access to the internet for most of the time. So mid-May I will post up a poll for the next contest theme and at the end of the month begin to source out new Judges. When I get back in July things will be ready to go for the next contest and this way everyone has enough time to get prepared. Sound good?

Meisu - You look 13 and definitely make me feel like I want to protect you.
Pingu - I love the idea and the fact that you went out in public like this.
Kit-tea - Another great idea! The sleeping pictures are really cute.
Eri - Really well done pictures. You have really cute pictures and casual clothes.
Doki Knight - Second favorite overall! Awesome quality pictures and great poses. I really like the wig on you.
Ai - I love your expressions, but it would've been nicer to see you being more tsun!
Anna - You look really innocent and also 13.
Gulper Eel - You were brave to go first, and I like the way you did your pictures, too. Is that Shizuo!?

Seraph here!

Congratulations to the winners and honorable mentions. I was rooting for Hester and Doki Knight, and I'm not surprised by the actual results. This contest was really fun, and everyone was moe. I can't wait to participate in the next contest.

Haniko - Witches are one of my favorite types of characters, so naturally I love the concept. The hat is so adorable.
Sayuri - One of my favorite hairstyles! Your smile in the top left is really cute.
Fleur - The country look is so moe. The settings you chose are really fitting. Is that where you live? It looks beautiful there.
Sarah-Jane - I think your outfits are actually my favorite overall.
Aelami - You really remind me of a Beckii Cruel type idoru in a good way.
Tako-hime - I don't think you could've done the nerdy type any better. I think it's nice to see someone wearing their skirt longer, too!
Meiru - You're really pretty. That's a wig, right? It looks amazing and really suits you. Your pictures make your OC come off as very gentle.
Rusalka - The pictures of you in the library are my favorite poses of the contest!
Hester - My favorite overall. The hidden manga picture is the best.
Bee leaf - I like that you went for a natural look, especially in the top pictures. You look really cute in the top middle picture.
Fruitful efforts - I think you captured the maid look really well. Lovely pictures, too.

Cont.

I was actually considering entering the contest myself, but I'm a little put off by it now. It seemed to become more of a generic school girl contest than a moe one. I mean, obviously this wasn't a cosplay contest exactly, but that generic galaxy seifuku and buruma gym uniform seemed really boring and uninspired even her poses looked much more boring than most of the other contestants. It's a bit of a shame but who knows, maybe it will become more interesting in the future...

Personally, as another contestant, I really felt like Hester's overall look (despite being perhaps a bit generic) and demeanor really portrayed the moe theme. Like...I looked at her collage and instantly thought "omg d'awww!" which is kind of...what moe should make you do, yeah?
I really think she did a great job and think she deserves the win.

It's been said before several times, but there also wasn't a whole lot of time between the theme announcement and when entries were do, so everyone just took their outfits from what they had already - considering that, I think everyone's looks were pretty impressive!

easy as in "it will easily give you points" right?
because moe can be many things, chef, librarian even astronaut, it's how you present it that determines if it's moe or not.
I really think that this should have been schoolgirl themed so that moe wasn't wasted, it could have had so much more potential.

>>6756514
I agree, most of them looked the same, at this point one would pay more attention to the girl's face than costume+setting etc seen as pretty much everyone was wearing the same outfit.

i'm hoping the next theme is rpg. that should give everyone a good chance. the cosplayers could do anything, and the j-fashion people could maybe put together coordinates that are like mages, clerics, etc. pretty much ranged characters that don't have to worry too much about getting dirty!

I'm sorry that you didn't like my entry anon. Since it was about making a character, I wanted to wear something a bit more cosplay than just my regular clothes. I personally went with a school uniform because I really like how seifuku look and I've been wanting to wear it for a while. I don't really have any other suitable cosplays that would be considered 'moe'. I'm completely aware that my posing is not the most interesting. Unfortunately I am a bit limited in that area due to my disability, but I tried to get as much of a range as I could. It is something I'm working on though, and I am improving. I'm not completely there yet, but just got to keep practicing. Next time you should enter and show us all how it's done.
