Date: Wednesday, February 14, 2024
Theme: Elemental Zodiac

Description: We're halfway through the challenge, but we're just scratching the surface on possible Lunar New Year themes. Today you get to self-select from several dozen possible combinations!

Rat, ox (or water buffalo), tiger, rabbit (or cat), dragon, snake, horse, sheep/goat, monkey, rooster, dog, pig: the animals of the Eastern Zodiac. Wood, fire, earth, metal, water: the elements of the wuxing cycle. Together, they make a 60-year cycle! Pick an animal/element combination, then create a scry and/or outfit based on it! Please remember to *not* reveal your real life personal combination for privacy and safety reasons.



This is late again, also aly's fault again, so the deadline is once again extended to 04:00 (AM) FR time. Since all the themes are listed on the front page, you don't actually have to wait for this post to go up to start, though we do expand on the descriptions in the daily announcement as a possible source of additional inspiration.

aly has realized we have a header for this so it's Time for The Analysis (lmao)

Today we're getting two broad categories - breeds and color schemes. In general, we all agreed that main characteristics of Lion Dance creatures are big eyes, fluffy/shaggy/fringed bodies, and square lion/dog-like heads! There were some more abstract interpretations of the theme, and some folks who went for traditional Dragon Dances instead, but predominantly the theme resulted in Big 'Ol Huge Eyed Square Creature.

For scrying, we saw (in descending order) Obelisks (6) and Gaolers (4) which are already very fluffy lion/dog - y creatures, followed up by 2 Aethers, and 1 each of Imperial, Spiral, and Auraboa.

with additional not-shown shout outs to:

- Marketplace's scry for Sunday's theme that was recently submitted


For aly's highlights, we're starting off with this scry by givemeyourbones which is both an appealing dragon to look at and also a thematic interpretation rather than a literal one - both are great, of course!

Tertiary: banana filigree
Eyes: plague swirl

Vosmikot's outfit is especially impressive because the dragon is completely hidden under a recognizable fabric silhouette - which is exactly what happens with Lion Dance performers! the limitation of being unable to go for the obvious (and appropriate) choice forced some excellent... metaphor? maybe not a metaphor. anyway, even on an Obelisk it would be a great outfit for its shagginess, color, and use of pattern, and the fact that it's a genuine quadruped with no wings is just the decorative lanterns on top! cannot express enough how delightful this is even if it wasn't explicitly intended. (also a nice scry in there!)

And, unfortunately not visible due to how long this already is:
- both scry and outfit from SingingDragon - the Aether hatchling is a perfect chunky lil guy and wonderfully matches the inspiration photo, and the use of the sea slug cloak is perfect! Love the explanations as well :3

- Wolfspeaker was already complimented for the scry, but everyone should also look at the outfit which has a title (and vibe) that gives off absolute Nael, Age 6 vibes (compliment) - yes -- YES! (link for context)

- Doozie's Gaoler scry used Carmine Breakup to introduce some green striping in the mane for, and I cannot believe I am saying this seriously, a nice little pop of color! (It really is nice, but does anyone else feel like that specific phrase is kind of overused?)

- both showings from DividedAnimus - love the reasoning and aesthetic of the scry, and the much-enjoyed combination of the Lucky Sage and Haunted Flame sets is envigorated by the inclusion of other items that aren't regularly put together, including some great white fluff

- charliesneeze's scry (the outfit is also nice) - there's something about the way Firebreather interacts with the face that really highlights the swirl eyes and it just gives Creature vibes - despite this being a static, dignified pose I am compelled to imagine this scry wiggling around delighting children. also the Cinder gene gives off firework vibes which isn't a usual dragon pattern but is also just delightful again
