OBITUARIES-Sims 3 or 4 Modeling Competition
CYCLE 1: “Death By:” (Dark/Eerie themed)
-The first cycle will be a darker or eerie type competition....the more death-like or eerie the better, as each round focuses on some type of way your model NEEDS to die/be killed! :s

- 10 Rounds each Cycle.
- Rounds 1-4 will be no eliminations
- Rounds 5-7 are Elimination Rounds
- Rounds 8-10 are the Final Rounds
(Bonus Points ARE available)

DESCRIPTION:
- SIMS 3 or 4 Models are welcome & can be male OR female YA, Adult, or Elder Competition *Please specify which game you will be using for your model.
- This competition is a little different because it will include creating entries that portray specific death-types & also requires a brief description of their death (explain your idea for your shot’s theme)
- This is a picture themed Sims modeling competition focusing on using the specified death-type each round/assignment & creating an entry that includes your shot, but will also require you to give a brief writing; allowing you to “explain” your idea/story for each entry.
 

BASIC RULES:
- HAVE FUN!!!
- No arguing with judges, other models, or yourself! If you have questions about your scores, etc. PLEASE pm that judge.
- We want everyone to have fun & enjoy seeing the creativity of simmers everywhere! Challenge yourselves, your inner creativity, and each other.
- CC Can be used but not essential.
- Edited Background and In Game shots permitted. You need to post with each entry simply either EDITED or In-GAME under your pic, so your shot will be fairly judged.
- Lastly, HAVE FUN!!! (We know we said this twice, but it is the MOST important rule)


SCORING:
- Obituary Relevance _ /10
- Death Factor: _/10
- Creativity _/10
- Quality: _ /10
-Stage/Overall Picture: _/10
TOTAL AVAILABLE PTS PER ROUND/ASSIGNMENT: 50



TO ENTER:
Provide:
- Your name/nickname
- Model’s Name
- Specify if 3 or 4 is being used
-Provide a full body shot of your sim looking their best in any fashion, using any pose, & on any solid background EXCEPT black
- Provide the black & white headshot of your model in the Mock Assignment requirements/guideline
NOTE: You can enter the different shots & info separately or together as long as everything is posted by the end of sign-ups, but you can start with just a reserve including your name.

SIGN-UPS will run for 2 weeks. This competition will be hosted at Simtech Forum, Simmetry Forum, and Sims & Modeling + Sims4 Sims & Modeling (Officials). You may post your info, sign-ups/reserves, and all entries in just one of the 3 threads and all will be updated as info comes in.

JUDGES

*NOTE: THERE WILL BE A SPECIAL TWIST FOR JUDGES!
(To be revealed with Assignment 1)


BUT.....Since we have our 3 Judges, here is the information for the Judge Twist & Bonus Points...


***BONUS PTS EXPLAINED***
Judges Choosing bonus pts will follow these guidelines:
RULES FOR BONUS PTS- 2 points are available for each round/assignment
by 2 different judges & only 1 model can receive a bonus point from the same
category; meaning 1 model won’t be able to get BOTH points in one bonus category.
EXCEPT for I Got Goosebumps (IGG); there will only be 1 judge picking the entry and
the entire 2 pts will be given to only 1 model.

1. Most Improved (MI)- To the model who has shown the most improvement from the last round assignment.
2. Fabulous Look (FL)- Is given to the model who just has the best look in their style/clothing, accessories,
and make-up to go with the shot.
3. Awesome Background (AB)- The model who just has that especially creative/awesome background that
sets the stage beautifully.
4. You Scared Me To Death (SMTD)- To the model who just had the most eerie death factor.
5. I Got Goosebumps (IGG)- This is the ultimate prize awarded each round & is reserved to the model whose
entire pic, including ALL the scoring categories, has the best overall shot.

***JUDGES TWIST***
Every judge will also serve as a mentor to randomly chosen models each round. You will be able to get helpful feedback, criticism, advice, etc. (think X-Factor).
We want to help you achieve the highest points and improve wherever you are trying to! We can give instruction but not actually do any of the work, of course.

PLUS, Each ROUND's WINNER gets to choose their Mentor for the next assignment!!! Woo-Woo!

**Mentoring will NOT be allowed for Final Rounds.

    ASSIGNMENT  2
    This is NOT an Elimination Round

    fire_r10.jpg

    -Show your model dying by some type of fire involvement. It can be any way of dying as long as fire is involved:
    House fire, fire storm, explosion,  etc. Full or half body is okay and don't forget to write a brief description in  a caption
    format explaining the scene. (The more creative, the higher the pts that will be received.)
    *Keep limited to no more than 3 sentences.
    NOTE: Your model does NOT need to be posed "dead" unless it fits with your idea for the shot.
    (Death poses are only needed when specified in the Assignment description.)
    *As long as your entries portray/show an environment that your model would or SHOULD die in, it is okay.
    (like the Example pics) The closer your pic shows a high likelihood to die, the better your "Death Factor" points
    will be each Assignment. So if you struggle with the Death Factor, you will have time to improve! *hint: And remember,
    there WILL be Bonus Points each Round for "Most Improved"

    ***BONUS POINTS  & MENTORING ARE AVAIL. THIS ROUND***

    (Round Winner gets to pick their Mentor for next Assignment!)


    *Remember Models that you can ask your Mentor for any advice or help if you are stuck or need any feedback for writing OR pics, BEFORE
    submitting your entry; we are here to try to help you improve your entry to receive the highest scores and/or Bonus Points!


    ENTRIES:

    fabtiffsim with Aviana Hugo
    They came for her by the dark of night and hung her in a tree
    She had no regrets no fear of death and so she didn't flee
    As they lit the fire they yelled out "Witch!" and chanted for her death
    But she only grinned and told them "Yes." The cursed witch's final breath.
    LngRJTe.jpg
    I used a background. And I wrote a poem!!

    kittensmeow10 with Amethyst Collins 
    Amethyst lost track of the time while cooking a pizza, so when she opened up the oven the whole kitchen went ablaze! In her panicked rush she tried to put herself out with a fire extinguisher, but began choking on the fire extinguishing powder. Unable to breath, the fell to the ground and collapsed, before perishing in the fire.

    *In game shot with border*

    lionpaws with Anastasia
    On St. George's day in the year of our Lord 1572 The Holy Office found the maid Anastasia guilty of witchery and collaboration with Satan.
    She was sentenced to the stake; her death in the flames a victory over evil. Praise the Lord!
    anasta10.jpg
    (combined in-game shot with a fire photo overlay and some drawing; color adjustments)

    dancergirlcb with Alana
    She was locked in her burning house, and all she could do was cry. Her ex-boyfriend had caught her house on fire, and now he was standing outside of it, proud of what he had done. All she could think was "Why did I ever date him?"
    30cq8aq.jpg
    I edited in the flames and used a photoshop action for coloring.

     JennaCatz with Evelyn  
    Evelyn had come home from her local bar a little bit too drunk, she lit a cigarette and lied down on her bed. She turned on the T.V and watched it for a short while, unfortunately she fell asleep with the cigarette still in her hands. The cigarette caused her bed to set fire, which resulted in poor Evelyn being burnt to a crisp.
    79ZY7La.png
    (a background was used)

    Vidkid20 with Drew
    Drew had a little too much at the bar one night on Christmas eve. He came home all decked out in a Santa suit, put on some Christmas tunes, and decided to drunkenly dance with his Christmas tree. Then things became very un-merry and deadly when his tree fell into the fireplace all while he slumbered.
    30839556223_00c83f1e8e_o.png
    My photo is in-game. I did edit the white trimming on his jacket and hat. I also edit broken pieces in for the star ornament on the floor.

    socallucyfan with Madison
    They can stand there and laugh at you. They can stand there and berate you by calling you a witch and a 🐸🐸🐸🐸. They can stand to the side with their arms crossed thinking that they finally won one over you. But they are wrong. In the end you will win. You will show them. Just as long as you make sure that no matter what you do DON”T let them see you scream!
    31538957701_0ef68e1793_o.jpg
    *In-game shot?

    SimsORIGfan with Thalia
    Unfortunately Thalia used WAY too much Fuel at the Bonfire Party. Nobody could help, She was too far gone engulfed in FLAMES & Lungs full of SMOKE! She will not be forgotten!
    Etb3yO7.png

    Erasimus with Kristine
    Katherine had traveled to Granite Falls for the first time with friends from work. They sat around the campfire, drinking flavored moonshine they had purchased on the way there. Katherine was going to turn in for the night, but lost her balance and fell into the campfire!
