And so it has come to this. The preparation for the costumed candy day.

In keeping with tradition, we'll be dressing up as another playgrounder of our choice. So, who would like to dress up like me for a week? :smalltongue:

Remember; get their permission first! It may not be against the rules, but even if you assume they'd agree, remember; to assume is to make an ass out of you and me.

[North_Ranger]

Man, this theme week sounds wonderful.

Hmm... I wonder whose clothes I should nab...

[Dusk Eclipse]

Oh sounds interesting... now who should I dress up as?

[Crimmy]

In keeping with tradition, we'll be dressing up as another playgrounder of our choice. So, who would like to dress up like me for a week? :smalltongue:


I will definitely dress up as Harnel.
Now all I need is to do is remove all this rust from my Inkscape skills.

[Halae]

Alright, but only if I get to dress up as Crimmy :smalltongue:

[Felyndiira]

The previous Halloween weeks were always on my periods away from the forums, so this will be my first time participating :).

[Maxios]

Is anyone interested in dressing up as Omnitopia!Me?

[Lix Lorn]

So, anyone want to swap clothes with me? :)

[TheFallenOne]

aww, I thought this might be about costumes we wear in RL on Halloween :smallfrown:

(I might go as one-armed zombie again)

[Mutant Sheep]

But how can a bipedal sheep dress as a centaur? :smallwink: Or a PONY? I'm just gonna get a hat like I do every Halloween.:smallbiggrin:

[Emperor Ing]

Are you a bad enough dude to pretend to be me?

[Heliomance]

You should probably put Avatar Theme Week or similar in the title.

[Halae]

You should probably put Avatar Theme Week or similar in the title.

Good call.

[Crimmy]

Alright, but only if I get to dress up as Crimmy :smalltongue:

A Half-dragon willing to look like a normal dude? That's awesome! (you might want to use a wig, though. Those horns might give you away. =D)

[Halae]

I'm a bit more worried about the wings and tail :smalltongue:

[Dusk Eclipse]

Nothing a trench-coat and wrapping your tail around your waist as belt can't fix.

[Cuthalion]

Just so everybody knows, I believe my default me is grey-haired, wields various weapons, and often gets in spots of trouble. Now, can I borrow that stoat of Mauve's? Of course, because I drew it, but I'll need to think. I may take you up on that, Lix.

[Lix Lorn]

Oooh shiny.

[Grue Bait]

Anyone feel like being me for a week? Education and all work associated with it not included.

[Elemental]

Hmm... Choices...
I guess I could make myself a Grue Bait costume. But I've never actually participated in Hallowe'en before...

[North_Ranger]

But how can a bipedal sheep dress as a centaur? :smallwink: Or a PONY? I'm just gonna get a hat like I do every Halloween.:smallbiggrin:

Hmm... seeing as how I teased you about that whole Welshman and lubricant thing, I should probably do some penance and walk a mile in your shoes.

What do ya say? Think you could whip me a Sheep Ranger avvie? ;)

[Elemental]

*gasp*

Inspiration for my Grue Bait costume!
Thank you trawling through random pictures on the Internet!

Of course, I won't work on it tonight because I need to sleep.

[Fredaintdead]

So, anyone want to swap clothes with me? :)

*thinks about raising his hand for that one*
:smallbiggrin:
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe.

[Cuthalion]

http://i48.tinypic.com/vpaq2e.png
This is me: by Teutonic Knight. Let's just say that's my default. Lix, I would be you for a few days, maybe not a whole week, would you be fine with that?

[Grue Bait]

Cool, I get to be Ele for Halloween. I gotta admit, though, I'm curious to see what picture inspired you.

[Morph Bark]

Whelp. So yeah.

[Kneenibble]

Who might enjoy a suit of feathers?

All these powers could be yours:

[CapedLuigiYoshi]

I don't even have any idea who to go as.

Sure, if someone'll do me the corresponding. Or even if not if you like. ^^

[Heliomance]

I'm in for this.

[The Bushranger]

Count me in.

Either as my ususal self (http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h24/solarturtle/ghostranger.png), or my genderbent self (http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h24/solarturtle/MsGhostranger.png). :smallwink:

Psst. Those are the same image.

[Lord Raziere]

problem: I seem to have forgotten which is my default me. I change my avatars too often.

[The Bushranger]

Psst. Those are the same image.

I have no idea what you're talking about. :smalltongue:

[Dark Elf Bard]

Nooo, uys! We can't announce who we're going as, that'll spoil it!

[Zea mays]

problem: I seem to have forgotten which is my default me.

That happens to me all the time, and not just online.
Is it OK if I try being you?

[Chromascope3D]

My face is for hire.

[Elemental]

Cool, I get to be Ele for Halloween. I gotta admit, though, I'm curious to see what picture inspired you.

Merely one that inspired a suitable pose.
Other than that, the picture is completely irrelevant.

[CapedLuigiYoshi]

...I guess I could try for Danny Pha- er, Bushranger.

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

So, anyone want to swap clothes with me? :)

I'll dress as Lix. Anyone want some bloody shirts and magic rocks?

[Morph Bark]

Who might enjoy a suit of feathers?

http://codyseekins.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/budgie-wip590.jpg

Seven Kneenibble clones are Bahamut's attendants, so clearly the powers are good. Do they come in crown form too? That'd be ultra nifty.

[Arutema]

I'm in for this.

I like your hat and glasses. can my nixie wear them?

[Felyndiira]

I've probably fallen off the radar a bit too much these days, but if anyone wants to dress up as me, you have a blank check from me to do so. Also, feel free to caricature my avatar in any way that you wish :).

[Lord Raziere]

That happens to me all the time, and not just online.
Is it OK if I try being you?

*shrug* ok, if you feel like this one if me enough or if you know what my default is, go for it.

[The Bushranger]

...I guess I could try for Danny Pha- er, Bushranger.

:smallbiggrin:

[Heliomance]

Sure, go for it!

Perhaps not feathers, but a devil in drag? Where can I sign up? :smallbiggrin:

In other news, please feel free, folks, to dress up as any avatar of mine, whether my usual masked agent of the Inferno, or the lovably luscious red-headed tiefling I've been taking out on ever more frequent outings in more recent times. :smallsmile:

[Beacon of Chaos]

I seriously have no ideas. I also haven't been feeling very artsy lately, so I may actually request an avatar this time. When I think of something.

In the event that someone wants to be me, here's my original human avatar.
http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i93/DiegoHavoc/Avatars/ootsdiegoavatar.png

[Crisis21]

Hmm...

Who would like to switch outfits with me?

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a328/Duskeyes/EricGreenhilt.png

[The Bushranger]

I could, but anyone who wants to switch with me will have to BYOA as I can't draw. :smalltongue:

[Cuthalion]

Crisis, I might take you up too. Would it be okay for half of the week? Or maybe we could do a triple switch or something, Lix, you and I.

[Strawberries]

Anybody feel free to dress as me! :smallsmile:

[Dark Elf Bard]

I want Kneenibble I want Kneenibble I want Kneenibble

[Lix Lorn]

I want Kneenibble I want Kneenibble I want Kneenibble
Doesn't everyone?

[Kneenibble]

*monocle pops off* Oh my.

Does this theme mean that people swap avatars? Or rather make one as our normal avatar, costumed as the intended subject?

I will totally not have time to be making any avatars, but the delicious Dark Elf Bard may do with me what he please.


Perhaps not feathers, but a devil in drag? Where can I sign up? :smallbiggrin:

A devil in drag with a carneval masque of budgie feathers! That would be fabulous.

[Heliomance]

I want Kneenibble I want Kneenibble I want Kneenibble

As far as I am aware, both seem to be applicable. I myself will be attending in a Grue Bait costume I threw together for my pony.
I'm just wondering whether I should leave it as a surprise for the theme week, or show it to you all now.

[CheesePirate]

Question: Do I need to ask for permission from the people I'm thinking of dressing up as, or can I turn up at the party in a surprise costume?

[Malak'ai]

Anybody feel free to dress as me! :smallsmile:

I'll take you up on that :smallwink:.
How about a straight swap? My swords and armour for your blouse and skirt? (Do I get the kitty as well?)

Mind you, I'll have to politely bug one of the Avatarists as I can't even draw stick-figures :smalleek:.

[Teddy]

Question: Do I need to ask for permission from the people I'm thinking of dressing up as, or can I turn up at the party in a surprise costume?

I think it's good practice to ask, even if doing a surprise isn't against the rules per se. You could always send the request per PM if you want to surprise the rest of the world, however.

Speaking of this week, what am I up to for it? Perhaps I should try to figure something out (I do perhaps have an idea), or perhaps I should play oblivious to its existence and focus on something more important, like school, or the heap of neglected private projects of mine...

[Heliomance]

Is someone willing to be an avatarist for me? I have a surprise costume I'd like, but I can't draw myself.

[Kasanip]

To be ready to participate... But it wasn't chosen another forum member. Maybe I can make such an avatar too. :smallredface:

[Lix Lorn]

Doesn't ever-

DAMMIT LIXIE
I'd settle for a Helio. :33

[Cuthalion]

Is someone willing to be an avatarist for me? I have a surprise costume I'd like, but I can't draw myself.

Sure, I think. Yeah.

[Morph Bark]

I'd love to go as someone else if someone else would like to go as me. :smallsmile:

[Chromascope3D]

I'd love to go as someone else if someone else would like to go as me. :smallsmile:

Shall we swap masks?

[Crisis21]

Crisis, I might take you up too. Would it be okay for half of the week? Or maybe we could do a triple switch or something, Lix, you and I.

Triple switch might be interesting. I already have a Lix-themed avatar from fusion week actually.

[Mynxae]

Hmm, perhaps I could participate this year.. I've got an avatar of my current one un-pony-fied. :smalltongue:

[Morph Bark]

Shall we swap masks?

I certainly woulna mind switching shades for gasmask! Time to go post-apocalyptic then. :smalltongue:

I've only tried once to create an OotSatar and failed miserably (partly due to only being able to use Paint), so I'll need someone else to do it for me though. If anyone doesn't mind?

[Lycunadari]

Who wants to change clothes with me? :smallsmile:

[Maxios]

Who wants to change clothes with me? :smallsmile:

I'll do it. But is it alright if instead of my current avatar it's Omnitopia!Me? For some reason Omnitopia!Maxios in a dress, feeding birds, with an angry expression on his face sounds hilarious to me

[CapedLuigiYoshi]

Right, so I finished a set of avatars themed to dressing as Danny Phantom Bushranger.

[The Bushranger]

Awesome. :smallbiggrin:

[Ravens_cry]

I'd love to go as someone else if someone else would like to go as me. :smallsmile:
I'll go as you Morph Bark. My costume is super easy, perfect for birthdays.:smalltongue:

[Zefir]

I remember last year. Most people went as kyuby or what they where called. Still got this:

[Dusk Eclipse]

Could anyone draw my avatar dressed like this
http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x473/Alexaflohr/ShadowstepNinja-small.png with the Katanas in his hand and him with saying something like "How do I use these? in a confused manner?

I already asked Thiago and he is ok, with me dresseing up as him for Halloween Week.

Sure. :smallcool:

[Lord Raziere]

Are you a bad enough dude to pretend to be me?

Since no one else seems to want to….yes…yes I am a bad enough dude to pretend to be you. In fact I'm the baddest dude at pretending to be you, if no one contests that either. :smallcool:

[Dusk Eclipse]

Sure. :smallcool:

Woot, thanks:smallbiggrin:

[Kneenibble]

To be ready to participate... But it wasn't chosen another forum member. Maybe I can make such an avatar too. :smallredface:

Your current avatar is lovely, but you should also dress up as a budgie!

Look, some budgies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0xxJf-dKss) can speak Japanese.

[Crimmy]

I must say, returning to Inkscape after being used to drawing with a tablet on paint is HARD.

I won't dress up, at least not with a vectorial avatar. I shall just export a scanned drawing from my notebook, or something.

@Harnel: I hope I didn't screw up too much:
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm112/Thecrimsonmage2/harnel-halloween-small.png

92 x 120 pixels.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm112/Thecrimsonmage2/harnel-halloween.png

[Halae]

The facepaint is a little... creepy. And not in a good way. Are we able to do without it? Otherwise, it looks good

[Crimmy]

As in, red face, or as in, a flesh-coloured mask?

Either way, since it's vectorial, I can change it.

[Heliomance]

The facepaint is a little... creepy. And not in a good way. Are we able to do without it? Otherwise, it looks good

I rather liked it, I thought it exceptionally creepy in a very good way.

It looks like you've ripped someone's face off and stuck it on your own face :smallbiggrin:

[Malak'ai]

I rather liked it, I thought it exceptionally creepy in a very good way.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre style :smallbiggrin:.

Still waiting for my costume... I think it'll turn some heads :smallwink:.

[Halae]

As in, red face, or as in, a flesh-coloured mask?

Either way, since it's vectorial, I can change it.

Getting rid of the flesh colored mask would be what I'd go for. I know it's halloween and all, but there's certain types of creepy that my brain doesn't like handling.

[Mono Vertigo]

Dayum, I forgot about Avatar Week!
3 days before the start, huh? More than enough to make something.
I'll probably recycle an earlier idea for Desert Week and go all Nyarlathotep.

[Crimmy]

All right, no facepaint.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm112/Thecrimsonmage2/harnel-halloween-2.png

Same size.
Hope you dig this one better.

[Halae]

Yep! Looks good to me :smallsmile:

Thanks for being such a good sport about the issue.

[Crimmy]

If I weren't, I wouldn't be an avatarist, I think.
:smallsmile:

The theme week is upon us!

What do you guys all think of my Grue Bait costume?

[Malak'ai]

Looks good Ele :smallbiggrin:

How's my Malak-berries costume looking?

[Lix Lorn]

You have excellent taste in songs to sigquote.

Also a really nice avvie!

[Malak'ai]

Why thank you Lix :smallbiggrin:.
But all compliments for the avie need to go to Strawberries. It's her clothing and her hard work that are making me look so stunning :smallwink:.

[CapedLuigiYoshi]

Oh, so soon? I need time to get ready!

Nothing too major, no. I'll actually be semi-dressed in the costume tomorrow.

Looking good there Strawberries :smallwink:.

[The Bushranger]

Hmm. It won't be a straight swap, but since I can't even go with stick figures, I think I might break out the old Erin-as-Dapper-Crimmy avvie, if that isn't minded of course. :smallsmile:

[Lord Raziere]

Is it just me or has the holiday snuck upon us very quickly this year? Had to take the quick and dirty approach to costuming.

Not sure if this counts but I'll submit it: Scarlet Knight dressed as Smuchmuch dressed as the Scarlet Knight.
