  To you and everyone else, I believe you should put some sort of signature or watermark on the sketches that you want to show or else somewhere out there, don't forget it's not only NA Mabi, there's someone who would see your idea and create it faster and/or better than you.

  I'm probably also going to join in. However, I still have yet to get my inspiration.

  I'm only gonna show the design when I finish AND submit it. AND Watermark it. AND sign it.
  
  Just to be extra careful.

  If it's international doesn't that mean everyone West of China is not going to win?
  Anyways if I make any outfit I'd stick a ton of accessories on it (little belts, chain, general metal, etc.).

  that won't qualify anyway. there's somewhere that specifically says the clothes should cater to a more medieval northern european style, like the timeperiod mabinogi is set in, lol.

  Iono...Can you explain why an Idol Ribbon Dress or a China Dress or something even the Sleeveless and Bellbottoms exist in Mabi but not in that Era?
  
  Those are seemingly the most out of place outfits (off the top of my head) yet they're in Mabi.

  while this is true, it's still in the rules, and perhaps it's a theme :V
  
  Nexon Forums - Design an outfit
  
  take that for instance, many of the outfits are less modern and more fantasy, sans some of the more goofy things. it helps to .. think outside the box.
• Schezo wrote on 2010-09-10 23:01
  And the bigger problems is, what is defined as Modern anyhow? I'm just afraid my outfit is drawing or crossing the fine line.

  Kinda why I hid my IGN on the collar area.
  
  @The Too Modern look: Well, kinda hard to do a school uniform that ISN'T modern looking. I basically took some inspiration from the Valdorl female set with changes. I also designed a male variant of this school themed set, but they look akin to the butler suit.
  
  EDIT: Just went over rules, this is what they said
  
  "The judging criteria for each category are as follows:
  
  * Clothing
  o The clothes need to look appropriate enough for daily activities and production activities."
  
  here is my male variant btw (no watermark because it was a doodle xD)

  Since they allow multiple entries, you could design various types and just submit.
  It won't hurt to.

  I wish we didn't have to design one version of each outfit for both male and female. Gah. I don't wanna design mine in male. :<
  
  Participants get a cool hat though. :D
