CONTEST ON HOLD
Sorry I've been such a ghost you guys but for the past few weeks, I've had this demon of a virus that has basically rendered my pentab useless. Its hijacked my browser, wiped out my desktop, prevents me from opening any folders, and has just been a pain in my ass.
The worst thing about the little bug is the fact that it was invited in by a sneaky little downloader trojan. I had no say in it entering my system. That and the damn thing disables almost every Antivirus program I throw at it. (sigh) so until I figure something out, I cant really deliver a higher quality of art. I havnt been able to work on any of my projects this whole time and its killing me!

RUGGUGATTA GAKUEN CONTEST
In the meantime, I was kicking around some ideas for a new contest. Something based on one of the high schools of Okayama, Okayama Japan (a small town in Okayama Prefecture) "Ruggugatta High"
The main focus on this is gonna be uniform based. At work I managed to find enough free time to design uniforms for all three types of weather for Ruggugatta students. I've got designs for breathable summer uniforms, padded winter and fall uniforms with heavier gakuran for the guys and leg warmers for the girls, and standard fair weather uniforms.
Cold Season Uniforms

Hot Season Uniforms

Fair Season Uniform


CONTEST INFO
The point of the contest is to express 2 OCs (male and female) wearing their Ruggugatta High uniforms in a way that reflects their unique personality. Some of the students may wear T-shirts under their gakuran, some of them may wear gauntlets with their uniforms, some may have personal designs on their gakuran, the girls are free to choose any blouse they wish to wear with their plaid skirt and vests, shoes, ties, you name it and it can reflect the personality of the wearer. A girl might even wear gakuran and slacks or just the gakuran. Its up to you. Customization is heavily encouraged.
RULES
You can enter up to three entries and entries must include atleast one male and one female character. There is no limit to how many characters you can put into one entry. As always with my contests, its OC (original character) based. I ask for atleast one of your OCs in Ruggugatta uniform and atleast one of mine in Ruggugatta uniform. Entries can be funny, tell a story, be sexy. Anything you like. Just be sure to check the design sheet and its' info carefully and ask me if there are any questions.
SOME REFERENCE OPTIONS
*ANY* of my OCs will do but if you actually want OCs that attended Ruggugatta here is a list
*any questions on personality or anything else just ask*










some of these are a little dated but there are newer versions of them floating around.
*EXTRA POINTS*
The judging will be based on which entires feel the most completed and are the most creative but extra points will be awarded to anyone who can make innovative designs of a "Soururmefuchi High School" uniform. It is Ruggugatta's rival school and is composed of mostly hoodlums and thugs. I've never thought too deeply about their uniform but I always imagined a sort of blood colored gakuran and slacks for the senior boys and sort of a magenta colored plaid type designed skirts for the girls. Ruggugatta seniors having black gakuran and slacks with yellow and the girls wearing yellow plaid type patterned skirts. So if you've got a bad guy or gal, you can make them Ruggugatta but they would probably feel more at home attending Sourumefuchi.
