Now don’t be alarmed by the title, there is nothing scary here… unless you want there to be! This is a competition based on stories, fables and fairy tales. Most you will know, some you may not, and they are all tales written by the Brothers Grimm. If you have not heard of them you will be surprised to find that you know many of their most famous tales such as Cinderella, Hansel & Gretel and Snow White. This competition is based on your interpretation of these stories.
I will put up assignment 1 once I have a few victims *cough* applicants... Hopefully we can start this off at the weekend (fingers crossed!!) or later if you guys are busy xxx
There will be 10 rounds each of which I will give you a fairy tale to bring to life.
I will include a link to each of the tales in case anyone is not familiar with it.
All Sims game formats are welcome.
CC and Google images are welcome, but none of that weird stuff please (lets keep it sims people!)!!
For all rounds backgrounds and style are of your choice. All I want is to know which tale I am looking at (bring me Frank N Furter as Red Riding hood if you can make it work)!!
Due to the variety of stories you are welcome to use a different sim for each round if you wish. For this reason there will be no model wall.
I will be judging along with 2 friends Naomi & Mike. Scores are a basic mark out of 20 and are cumulative. Top 3 for each round will be given but total scores will be shared after the final round (idea borrowed from xJoJox).
Rounds will last 1 week unless all entries are in then we will end it sooner.
Extensions will be granted on request.
Please ask if you are unsure about anything, there are no silly questions!
I’m super excited to see what you guys create! I know what talent you all have and I can’t wait!
Most important of all, Be Kind! Not everyone is at the same skill level but everyone will have put their heart into their creation. Please respect this and support and help each other.
I have found this community to have grown in to a very friendly and supportive place, lets keep it that way!
