For each look, I intend to show the impact that the ℙ𝕣𝕠𝕛𝕖𝕔𝕥 ℂ𝕒𝕥𝕨𝕒𝕝𝕜 ℂ𝕪𝕔𝕝𝕖 𝟟 𝕁𝕦𝕕𝕘𝕖𝕤 had on my designs and descriptions. However, if it's not broke don't fix it! So, any challenges that I won have not been changed, except perhaps some minor formatting.

________________________________________ 𝕿𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖘 𝕴 𝕷𝖊𝖆𝖗𝖓𝖊𝖉 ________________________________________ ☁｡･:*:･ﾟ★･ﾟ☆ ✪ Lᴀʏᴏᴜᴛ Dᴇsɪɢɴ ✪ 𝕋hroughout this whole cycle, I prepared my entries in my journal before completing the submission in the main thread. While this method works, a better solution would've been creating a personal hidden guild to prepare the posts. If I was to compete again this is what I'd do. Here are just some of the many ways this might benefit you:
• Have your entire collect neatly organized. • See how it displays–journals have their quirks. • You can work in dark mode.ᐟ • Easier to curate a signature format. • Build a private lookbook along the way. • Avoid bloating up your journal. • And probably way more.ᐟ
Yep, I wish I had done this the first time around. I also find it so refreshing to basically have a private journal that is easy to navigate and customize. Seriously, go build yourself a mind map. ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆
☁｡･:*:･ﾟ★･ﾟ☆ ✪ Mᴏᴅᴇʟ Dᴇsɪɢɴ ✪ One element I have learned to utilize with greater success is filtering. A lot of filters wash out entries and hinder visibility, which is the last thing I want when trying to make my model and her outfit shine.
However, as I revised and reworked these designs, I discovered that a well placed filter will enhance the overall success of a look. Not every piece needs a filter nor will benefit from one. Sometimes restraint is best. But being mindful of intended outcome plays a big role in a filter's success.
Things to keep in mind: • Is the filter helping control vibrancy that has gotten out of hand? • Unifying similar shades that slightly clash? • Is it helping build a strong motif? • Does it help to highlight your intended focal point?
Finally, consider if filter obscures too much or hinders visibility. Is the look stronger without it or could a similar less intense filter be more appropriate. Sometimes restraint is our friend. ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

She sings for someone to reach her. To swim through the storm ~ past the pull, past the fear. But the sea always wants them more. And when it takes them, she sings again. Not to lure…but to remember. ... Her melodies rise with the tide and with each note, the ocean listens.
EVERY SHIP SHE SINKS REMEMBERS HER. Every wave still carries her name.

𝕆riginally, I wasn't sure I'd retouch this look. After all, it was the look that began our journey and it was good enough...
Except, there were minor things that I wanted to explore improving.
Wʜᴀᴛ I Lᴇᴀʀɴᴇᴅ:
✪ This new look tightens the focal point by darkening the Fiji water splash, allowing it to have a more cohesive appearance next to the dark "moongate."
✪ Slight detailing was added to her makeup, and a bun was added behind her headdress to create more volume.
✪ To make it more attractive, a white hoop was added to the seashell earring.
✪ Her bust and bodice were reworked to layer in some more visual interest, incorporating some of the blues, white, and ombre green into her dress.
✪ Finally, the background was swapped for a milder blue sky and a wisp now accompanies the trailing musical notes to complete the motion.
Overall, I'm glad I chose to retouch this piece. These changes may be subtle, yet they entirely elevate the look.
Description: 𝔹orn beneath the lavender sky on a day that rarely comes – like a myth, or a calendar’s secret – Olivia, with her gemstone eyes, is rare treasure.
A leapling, born once every four years, yet unforgettable to all. She is an ageless beauty. Crowned in amethyst, she wears her birthstone not as an ornament, but as an aura. Her eyes – one green, one blue – gleam like rival jewels, as if the earth itself couldn’t choose just one gem to bestow. They say amethyst brings clarity, but to look upon her is to drift into a dream…
~she whispers~ My birthstone isamethyst. My birthday comes but once every four years and still, time moves forward. Will you still love me when I’m no longer young and beautiful?

Fun Fact: 𝕀 often forget my own ages and feel both younger than I am and wise beyond my years. If I am blessed to be around to the ripe old age of 100, I will have celebrated just 25 calendar birthdays. ~
Creator's Notes: 𝔽or her first look, I drew inspiration from the day I was born – Leap Day.ᐟ It's a curious thing, aging both slowly and swiftly. Every four years I add a year to my leap age. The question I'm often asked is less about that special day and more about the space in between – "When do you celebrate your birthday?" I find that it is less important "when" I acknowledge my birthday, giving myself a week to choose at my leisure. Yet, once the calendar reads February 29 I honor that day.
This got me envisioning Olivia as a Mythical Leapling who lives only on that rare day, slowly aging as the world speeds past her. Would she age to the ripe old age of 100, well beyond my lifespan, or expire at 25, still young and dewy?
Her ensemble was designed to embody the clustered elegance of my birthstone, amethyst. I've added elements that hint towards the ticking of time. She guards her heart as it glows brighter with each passing year.
𝕆livia's Amethyst Leapling outfit has been one of the more dramatic transformations of the bunch. The perfect example of how much my skills have developed along the way with the help of the judges critiques.ᐟ
Her original ensemble was simple and, while it worked for the prompt, it was clearly lacking something.
Wʜᴀᴛ I Lᴇᴀʀɴᴇᴅ:
✪ While the bodymod was successful in giving a clustered gemstone appearance, relying solely on it was a weak move. This go around I created even more texture and movement by layering in bustles and a belt.
✪ We absolutely washed that glitter off her face and replaced it with some alluring eyeshadow. A simplified headpiece and her proper signature nose suit her much better.
✪ To tie in her leaping-through-time story, these clockwork gears help to frame her beautifully while adding to her overall motif.
✪ The suggestion by one of the judges to use a filter was such a good one here. As I mentioned in the introduction, I have learned to implement filters with greater success. Why it works here:
SoggykittenART — Olivia~ • Amethyst comes through on your look and it stands out well from the pack because of the color story going on. Good background the compliments without distracting. • Your description gave a lot of vibes without really telling us anything about the look, though we do love hearing you're a leap year baby! Also there was just way too much on the face.
SoggykittenART — Olivia61.25% Style:6 • Motif:6 • Creativity:5 • Description:7.5 Comments:Positive note, I like the formatting of this! It's a pleasant entry to look at. There is a lot of empty space though. Not sure we need all that. I really like getting to know more about Soggy, playing with the leap year birthday and incorporating it into thing the way she did was really cool! A little wordy at times, but still cool. However. Leg mod is very pale, and I don't like the lavender sparkle on the face. Not sure it was needed? But also looking into things more the legs and the dress are all one item. Definitely loses some points for creativity.
SoggykittenART — Olivia45% Style:5 • Motif:4 • Creativity:6 • Description:3 Comments:This is a bit of a weaker entry for me. The gem influence is clear, and I think the 'bones' of the outfit are good. I wish the pinkier-toned purple in the headpiece and brooch showed up in another spot somehow; it kind of sticks out to me as feeling a little disconnected as-is. Inverse from some other entries there is WAYYYY too much going on in the face area for me. I really don't like this choice of nose, something about it reads like... sickly and irritated (plus it adds some freckles, which I'm p sure is a no-no in the mod guidelines). She looks like she needs some tissues. Description feels too vibes-based without really telling us anything about the look. I'm not sure I'm getting "Leap Day" and "ageless beauty" from this; it just reads as a fairly standard fantasy/magical girl look.
☆═━┈┈━═☆
✩ SoggykittenART — Olivia 40% Style: 5 • Motif: 5 • Creativity: 4 • Description: 4 Comments: This is a nice look, but it's really nothing too special. And I feel like the colours don't work well for Olivia, or maybe it's just the overuse of makeup? I wish the nose wasn't so dark, it looks so off. It makes me think she had a close encounter with a wall and broke it. Another thing, I feel like instead of so many different effects, they could've just used a filter to make Olivia's eyes less contrasting with the colour scheme. The description is nice, but also feels very... cryptic? Like they chose aesthetics over actually telling us something about themselves or more about their thought process... ☆═━┈┈━═☆
SoggykittenART — Olivia75% Style:7 • Motif:8 • Creativity:7 • Description:8 Comments:When this one was submitted I was really excited about it I felt like it had the potential to be in my top three. I don't think she's quite there but I do love this look. Only complaint is I wish she had added some blue and green sparkles to play off Olivia's eyes. or maybe so other element to pull it all together. It feels Amethyst to me. I also liked the description.
SoggykittenART — Olivia73.75% (Total Score: 29.5 pts.) Style: 5.5 • Motif: 8 • Creativity: 6 • Description: 10 Comments: Right off the bat, I see a bodymod for a dress. While still a cop-out, it's better than grayworm's. I love the matching armmod sleeves and accessories. Not the most creative garment that I've seen, but it's rather solid. Soggy's description is one of the best—short and informative, giving a glimpse of everything without excess. I'm into this entry.

Challenge # 2: They See Me Rollin' Designer: SoggykittenArt Changes: ✶ None! ✶ Round Winner ✶ 🏅 ★ ☁｡･:*:･ﾟ★･ﾟ☆
𝕴 am filled with such anticipation as this locomotive carries me ever nearer my destination – 𝕮𝖆𝖎𝖗𝖔, 𝕰𝖌𝖞𝖕𝖙! Adventure awaits, for soon I shall be in the good company of my brilliant uncle, an archaeologist by trade, who is deep into an expedition and no doubt brimming with thrilling tales to tell.
𝖄esterday, my two-month voyage across the sea came to an end, and I boarded this most handsome railway. As I gaze through the coal-smeared glass, I am reminded that it is autumn. The leaves back home must already be turning to gold and rust, but here there are no trees shedding their foliage – only warm, clean sand blurring past my window.
𝕬s I write this beneath the flickering oil lamps, nestled comfortably in this richly upholstered carriage, I cannot help but think – there is no finer way to travel. The pyramids, they say, rise from the sands like ghostly sentinels of forgotten kings. I long to see them for myself – not as sketches in a gentleman’s book, but with my own mismatched eyes.
𝖄ours in excitement, 𝓞𝓵𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓪🪶 ════════════════ஜ۩۞۩ஜ═══════════ ⋰❉⋱⋰❉⋱⋰❉⋱⋰❉⋱⋰❉⋱⋰❉⋱⋰❉⋱⋰❉⋱⋰❉⋱⋰❉⋱⋰❉⋱

(Pocket Watch) Purified Beastly Wonder (Earrings) Withered Void Vessel Rustic Overcast Sun Hat
Creator's Notes: 𝕋he very moment this challenge was revealed, I pictured Olivia in the Victorian era, stylishly traveling in the cabin of the hearty steam engine from The View from Abroad. The look came together from there – and where better to be headed than Egypt, land of pyramids and mystery?
For such a voyage, Olivia would need an outfit both practical and elegant: • Her broad-brimmed hat provides shade from the desert sun and protects her golden hair. • Sturdy boots ensure she can walk uneven terrain. • And naturally, she’s brought her luggage – it’s a long journey, after all.
To achieve the layered silhouette of a Victorian travel gown, I began with the Poison Sucre Patisserie Corset Dress as the foundation. It was charming, but needed more structure and visual interest. The Serenade for the Withered Skirt added a proper bustle – offering a pop of color that flatters but doesn't compete with her gemstone eyes, while cleverly concealing an awkward knee gap.
To enhance the skirt further, I layered in the Light Witchy Aesthetic Corset – its delicate ribbons helped tie the lower half together (both literally and thematically) with a touch of feminine drama.
Puff sleeves, lace accents, and a hip-mounted timepiece complete the ensemble – a look fit for a lady of style who never misses her train. ________________________________________ The Look’s Evolution:
When I originally designed this outfit, I leaned into a darker palette and focused on layering textures rather than colors. However, I soon realized the deep tones were blending too much with the dark cabin background.
As I reconsidered Olivia's setting – traveling in desert heat – I pivoted toward lighter, cooler tones that would make more visual and thematic sense.
This redesign brought new challenges. I selected a cool white cotton base with beige bows that provide definition without pulling attention away from her face or accessories. I opted for plum wine tones instead of vivid royal purple.
Ultimately, I’m so glad I reworked her gown. The final version truly feels like a Victorian traveler, while the original was giving more gothic steampunk vibes. I'm proud of the growth this redesign reflects and I love it all the more.
SoggykittenART — Olivia~ • You killed it this week. The judges all loved this outfit and you received high scores in every category. The dress itself was so well made and the layering was on point. You didn't feel the need to show us the wheels, you know we know they're there, which was actually to the benefit of the look. It was a creative and smart choice that allowed you to show us a look that was completely unobstructed and really incredible. • You really didn't need to show us the early version of the look; simply explaining that you had changed it from darker tones would have been more than enough. Some of the judges wish there had been some sort of wheel worked into the design as a nod to the challenge.
SoggykittenART — Olivia95% Style:9 • Motif:9 • Creativity:10 • Description:10 Comments:Soggykitten really stepped it up this week, and this look has left a strong impression on me. As I learned during my cycle, creating period-accurate looks on Gaia is REALLY hard, and the styling/textures here are impeccable. Love all the colors in the final look; they're a nice contrast to Olivia's features while still feeling overall harmonious, and the softer/dustier tones give it that nice antique-y feel. Another instance here of critical info being hidden under a spoiler!!! I really wish designers would stop doing this, but ultimately I received the info so I'm not going to let it affect my score even though I am tempted to dock points for it on principle. Could have left out the scrapped build image as well and just left the text; as with others, including it is a risky choice. Overall love the creative direction and interpretation of this challenge. Only minor critique is that the silver necklace (?) thing bugs me a bit; it creates some weird inscrutable texture in the neck area and color stands out too much against the rest of the look IMO. I think there are plenty of other items that could have been chosen that might have worked better, but I see the intent and the rest of the look is so good that this is not a huge detractor. Also took a point off in Motif for lack of visible wheels, even though I know they are implied with the train. ☆═━┈┈━═☆
✩ SoggykittenART — Olivia 96.25% Style: 10 • Motif: 9 • Creativity: 10 • Description: 9.5 Comments: I adore this look and the idea of a model travelling in a steam engine. SoggykittenART managed to capture the spirit of the Victorian era with her design; it's just perfect. I honestly don't know what to talk about, I love everything about this look - the colours, the outfit, how Olivia's eyes pop, the pose, the description with a letter... It's just a 10/10 for me. My only complaint is that, of course, there's a spoiler that includes some additional thought process from the designer. Stop with the spoilers, babes. ( ; ω ; )
☆═━┈┈━═☆
SoggykittenART — Olivia95% Style:10 • Motif:9 • Creativity:10 • Description:9 Comments:I'm pretty obsessed with this look. It caught my eye from the jump and has only continued to grow on me. Only skimmed the diary entry but I do like the aesthetic of that, and the actual description is really good. So much went into building this look and totally love to see it and how it all comes together. So clever to be on a train to imply the wheel without showing it, though I kind of would have liked to see a wheel. Maybe a toy train included or just something to be a little nod. Part of me really likes the choker layered as is and the dimension it brings, and part of me would have liked to see it.
SoggykittenART — Olivia95% Style:10 • Motif:10 • Creativity:10 • Description:8 Comments:The earlier look is not needed but I'm not counting it against her because the final look is better. Obviously we need to tell them all not to show unentered versions of the look. Now on to the good which is literally everything else I adore the look as I mentioned in the chat. I love the train I love that we don't need to see the wheels I love a non modern or futuristic look. The layering is fantastic. The description gives me all the details I wanted. I even like the mention of what she changed as she went I just didn't need to see the earlier version of the look. Small dock on the description for the added old look.
Well… not literally. But it’s been that kind of day.
I was checking the lower fields when I heard the ruckus. One of the calves got curious and wandered off into the vegetable patch. Before I could whistle, her mama came stomping in after her – horns up, hooves in my heirloom tomatoes.
So there I was: dust in my teeth, sweat on my brow, lasso in hand, trying to save what’s left of this year’s harvest.
The sun was low, casting that golden haze over the fields. It would've been beautiful – if I wasn’t knee-deep in chili peppers with a wild cow on the loose.
Still, I reckon I pulled it off. No one trampled, no tomatoes too bruised, and I didn’t even lose my hat.
Not bad for a Thursday.

𝑺𝒕𝒚𝒍𝒆 𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒉:
I dressed Olivia in a Western embroidered button-up shirt.
Her jeans are worn but well-loved, layered with leather chaps that double as a built-in belt. After testing several buckles, we landed on this oblong one that reminded me of Navajo silverwork – ornate but grounded. Her brass studs glitter magnificently in the setting sun.
Naturally, no cowgirl’s complete without:
• A proper hat (feather from the hen-house & horseshoe for luck), • A pair of sturdy gloves, and • A lasso at the ready.
Still, the heat was getting to Olivia – and this posed a real problem. After some crafty adjustments, we trimmed the fur lining off her leather coat – and wouldn’t you know, not only did she stay cooler, but her earrings finally had room to shine. A quick bandana swap later, and the whole look came together like a charm!
She might not win Miss Rodeo Queen, but she sure knows how to wrangle a calf and protect a tomato patch. And really, that’s what matters.
Only minor tweaks were made to Olivia's Cowgirl look.
Wʜᴀᴛ I Lᴇᴀʀɴᴇᴅ:
✪ The first thing we did is wash her face. Judges pointed out it was creating an androgynous appearance, and her bandana should be enough to keep her clean.
✪ Olivia also removed her earrings so as not to get in the way of her wrangling up animals.
✪ The calf and story was well received, but it was noted that the little guy was stealing the show. To remedy this, I added a dusty filter to lead the focal point back to Olivia. The slight overlay on her left leg by the filter is justified by the story and her other leg being in clear view. This also helped create depth in the image alongside the foreground layer.
Overall, these changes feel real right and help the eye land right where it's supposed to without sacrificing storytelling.
SoggykittenART — Olivia~ • Rancher Olivia is adorable—her cow buddy might have stole the show—but she looks classic. The story was clear from the image and only enhanced by the description. • There were nice details, but some weren't so great. Description was a little too long, and the shadow on the face had the judges split. Some loved it, and some felt like it was in the wrong spot.
SoggykittenART — Olivia92.5% Style:10 • Motif:9 • Creativity:9 • Description:9 Comments:This was one of my favorites this week. Its Cowboy in the rancher literally herding cows sense and honestly thank god. Not an outlaw. I like the lasso and the denim with the chaps. The dirt on her face reads as 5'oclock shadow but I adore it. Its giving gender. I really feel like it stands out not only as a take that was more creative but also the execution was fantastic.
☆═━┈┈━═☆
✩ SoggykittenART — Olivia 75% Style: 7 • Motif: 8 • Creativity: 8 • Description: 7 Comments: I have mixed feelings about this look, it definitely has some interesting and more unique aspects - dirt, lasso. I do love the fluffy cow, and that Kitten used some bright colours. I for sure do not like the earrings and how they melt into Olivia's hair. Also, the dirt looks like 5 o'clock shadow, which, if intentional, is nice, as it gives an androgynous look. If not, then, well... Also, I wish the description were more about Olivia's look instead of what didn't work for her.
☆═━┈┈━═☆
SoggykittenART — Olivia76.25% Style:7.5 • Motif:8 • Creativity:7 • Description:8 Comments:Another very straightforward look, and I'm actually surprised that no one else went for the lasso item. The embroidered shirt and horseshoe hat pin are cute details that up the fashion quotient a bit, but I'm still not floored by this entry. I don't think the earrings were needed; they blend in too much with Olivia's hair to the point that I didn't see them at first. Description focused a little too much on what wasn't in the look. I was reading it and looking at the outfit like... huh... what bolo tie? It's perfectly fine (and encouraged) to touch on pain points, but IMO it shouldn't take up that much room in the description compared to the achievements.
SoggykittenART — Olivia85% Style:8 • Motif:9 • Creativity:7 • Description:10 Comments:Okay, so I really like this look. The only thing I don't like is the shading on the face. As I read the description and took it in I just felt like it is in the wrong place. When you wear a bandana it is to cover your nose and mouth while you're out riding and getting dirty, so in theory that part of the face should be the cleanest and the rest of the face should be dirtier and more windblown. But I still really like this outfit and love hearing her process in the description.

Challenge # 4: 9-to-5 Designer: SoggykittenArt Changes: Added more floral elements and warmth & used filter to unify colors in her dress and control saturation. ☁｡･:*:･ﾟ★･ﾟ☆
𝕿his morning, I whisked my hair up into a tidy bun before opening shop – it’s become a daily ritual to protect the arrangements. Fallen strands have no place among my cherished customers’ delicate petals. Afterwards, I tucked a few blossoms from this morning’s trimmings into my bun. I received so many compliments – and noticed a spike in sales! It’s quickly becoming my favorite way to show off the product.
I took my time watering today, as I always try to do – it’s still my favorite part of the routine. Each bloom seems to greet me like an old friend, and I try to give them the same care in return.
My little flower boutique is thriving almost as much as the ivy along the windowsill! I’ll need to remember to prune it back tomorrow morning. With any luck, I’ll get several cuttings to propagate for curious customers.

𝑺𝒕𝒚𝒍𝒆 𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝕱𝖑𝖔𝖜𝖊𝖗 𝕭𝖔𝖚𝖙𝖎𝖖𝖚𝖊 : Both comfortable and classy, Olivia’s look elevates her Bloom Nook into a space where horticulture meets style.
Using subtle layering, I gave her work apron an embroidered appearance, complete with an ornate name plaque – because every florist deserves a signature touch. And of course, no floral artist is complete without a trusty set of shears.
A soft pair of leggings keep the dirt off her knees, while deceptively comfy lifts add a touch of elegance. Her gloves match the palette and keep her hands soft, even after a long day of pruning and potting.
Her little corner shop is flooded with natural light, making it the perfect place to shop for floral arrangements or garden starters.
Olivia and I both share a love for fragrant, life-giving plants. Before I had my youngest, I spent a full year starting tray after tray of seedlings – it was one of the best years of my life. I hope to do it again someday. Until then, I know where I’ll be shopping. 🌸
Here is where subtle changes create high impact.
Wʜᴀᴛ I Lᴇᴀʀɴᴇᴅ:
✪ This is another look that greatly benefited from adding a filter. The intention here was to add warmth and unify some of the greens in her dress. It also softens the overall look.
✪ I took the judge's advice and switched to warmer floral elements.
✪ One critique was that the background was too busy. Oddly enough, I believe adding more flowers to the frame helped to reduce the texture from the greenhouse windows, helping it to appear less busy as a whole.
Overall, this one has so much more personality. While time consuming, the attention to detail makes all the difference.
SoggykittenART — Olivia~ • Adding the bun was a risk, but it really paid off! This was a lovely look, and while perhaps not the most creative, it was extremely well executed and looks great! • The background is a little busy, and the lighting seems wrong on Olivia's face.
SoggykittenART — Olivia85% Style:8 • Motif:10 • Creativity:7.5 • Description:8.5 Comments:So fresh, I love the vibrant greens. This sort of look is like... the Platonic Ideal of a woman who works as a florist to me. Love that Olivia is donned in the most vibrant greens to bring her to the forefront. The background feels appropriately lush, but I wish there was something breaking up on the blue on the right-hand side because all that detail is blurring together. The bun is a cute addition and I feel like taking the risk of the hair mod paid off here; that sort of half-up style feels right for this profession. Olivia's face is reading to me as weirdly grayed out around her cheeks and nose with all the stuff that's layered on; it feels a little heavy here but that might be a me thing. Overall a lovely look and we all know I'm a sucker for florals, but with the number of gardening items I do feel like this is not the most creative or challenging take on this week's prompt.

✩ SoggykittenART — Olivia 82.5% Style: 8 • Motif: 8 • Creativity: 8 • Description: 9 Comments: A lovely look, I think Olivia looks really nice in the bright greens. I love the outfit, the hair, honestly, it's great. The biggest issue for me is the background. I like how busy it is, just like most flower shops are, but it's so blue in comparison to the bright green and earthy tones on Olivia. It also seems like there's something off with the lighting/filters, since Olivia's face feels a bit gray-ish?

SoggykittenART — Olivia87.5% Style:8 • Motif:10 • Creativity:9 • Description:8 Comments:I really like this choice of career I think it was a smart one because gaia has lots of lovely plant and flower items. I do wish the darker greens of Olivia's top and skirt matched better, But I like the contrast it provides between her and the setting. Hair add ons are always a risk but I actually really like the bun here it feels appropriate and I think adds to the look in a positive way. Also we got ART I can't give extra points for the art but I love it so much!
SoggykittenART — Olivia88.75% Style:8.75 • Motif:9.25 • Creativity:8.5 • Description:9 Comments:HOLY s**t THE INCLUDED PORTRAIT?! Like obviously can't judge on that and won't but I love to see that so so much. Just..love it. And I think florist is the perfect job for Olivia, and this entry is great. Super flattering! Love the colors. I wish the background a little bit less busy? The portrait has more open space that keeps the focus on Olivia and I think the actual entry needed that as well. As it is things are just kind of busy and cluttered. Shading on the face also doesn't quite work out, makes the forehead look bigger and shinier.
𝕿oday, while I was painting the corner wall again, I caught myself staring out the window. The sunlight was just so golden – it danced on the trees below and sparkled on the river far away, and suddenly I wasn’t in the tower anymore...
In my daydream, Pascal and I were out there – really out there – running through fields of wildflowers and laughing as the wind tugged at my hair! The grass was soft and the air smelled likefreedom! Pascal rode on my shoulder like the bravest little explorer, pointing the way toward the horizon.
We followed a trail that led to a tiny village by the water. The people there smiled as they passed us, and a woman selling flowers tucked a daisy into my braid. I think I could’ve stayed there forever – meeting villagers, listening to music, watching the lanterns rise in the distance!
And then… Pascal nudged me awake. My paintbrush had dripped all over the floor again.
Someday, I’ll see all of that for real – the fields, the villages, the lanterns. But for now… my dreams will do.⋆˙⊹❀ ~ 𝓡𝓪𝓹𝓾𝓷𝔃𝓮𝓵 ~🦎☀️❀⊹˙⋆

This cosplay was a very challenging one to produce.
Wʜᴀᴛ I Lᴇᴀʀɴᴇᴅ:
✪ I took all of the judges notes to heart, all the way down to the detail of her little bare feet.ᐟ
✪ Layering was such a challenge and I must have tried on every possible bare foot mod before finding one that fit perfectly without being obscured. Her skirt needed to be just the right length to show off those toes while also layering behind her bodice.
✪ I used Alexandrite Light Fantastick to resemble Rapunzle showing off her mural on the wall of her tower dwelling.
✪ We braided up Olivia's hair and adorned it with flowers.
✪ Her paintbrush rests tucked behind her ear and some splatters on her dress show that she's been busy putting it to use.ᐟ
Overall, this one has so much more personality. While time consuming, the attention to detail makes all the difference.
SoggykittenART — Olivia~ • Olivia as Rapunzel was such a cute choice. The judges admire your background choice, as well as the lizard item. He looks like Pascal. And while it doesn't factor into scoring, sharing a version of Olivia's hair cut off? Genius. • Though loved, the judges expressed that the background is carrying the look more than Olivia's outfit. Given how simple her outfit is here, adding details that took place in the movie--maybe some flowers to reference her iconic braid--would've amped up your Rapunzel entry.
SoggykittenART — Olivia76.25% Style:7.5 • Motif:7.5 • Creativity:7 • Description:8.5 Comments:I really like this look, but I wish it was pushed a little. It is immediately clear who the character is, and it is well done for what it is. I wonder if there is a skirt item that would have been a better shade of purple? I also would have loved a shorter skirt to see Rapunzel's bare feet since that is a key trait of hers, but also give her a skillet! Have her painting! Bring the quirky life to her instead of just a static pose would help sell Rapunzel. Maybe a few too many atmospherics. This is fine, good even, but I want it to be great. Really love that she included an epilogue with Rapunzel after her hair is cut. heart
SoggykittenART — Olivia76.25% Style:7 • Motif:8 • Creativity:7.5 • Description:8 Comments:A lovely choice for Olivia; Soggy really knows her model's strengths. The overall palette is gorgeous and I think the bodice area is perfect, but the bold swath of skirt feels a little too heavy and distracting. For a cosplay challenge, I feel like the background is doing a lot of the work on selling me this entry over the clothing. Would have liked to see just a little more in the outfit somehow--maybe some flowers in Olivia's hair to reference Rapunzel's iconic braid?
SoggykittenART — Olivia77.5% Style:7 • Motif:9 • Creativity:5 • Description:10 Comments:This entry is solid. I'm not blown away by the choice of Rapunzel but it makes a lot of sense for Olivia. The design of the top and background are great and the lizard here works for Pascal. The backround is very dreamy but it works in her favor I think. My only issue is the skirt I feel like a better skirt exists on gaia this one is very one note. Obviously it doesn't count towards the score but once again Soggy shows that she is very dedicated to this competition but showing us a version of Rapunzel after her hair got cut off in the movie! I'm just so thrilled at the designers who are so happy to be here and show us by having fun!

My first efforts struggled to capture the "horror" of hail and she was received as more "ethereal."
Wʜᴀᴛ I Lᴇᴀʀɴᴇᴅ:
✪ This time around, I embraced elements of horror. The casket and blood suggest the deadly strike of the hailstorm, while framing the image with foliage foreshadows the damage she will do to the crops.
✪ Adding a shadow to her face helped shift her expression to appear more foreboding.
✪ I used the legs from If it fits to create the impression of her sitting on a large icy ball of hail. This grounds her and gives weight to her form, rather than appearing as if she was floating through the air.
Overall, this attempt was much more successful in representing the destruction inflicted by the hailstorm.
SoggykittenART — Olivia~ • Your hailstorm plague entry looked ethereal. Olivia looks gorgeous and elegant. And your red entry looks regal and beautiful. With the limited budget, you managed to make Olivia look expensive with the concept you went for. • Your scores for the plague entry got dragged because you failed to add a scary or creepy element to it. Ethereal as Olivia may look, she doesn't seem to scare me with how you styled her. Your red entry looked more pink to some of the judges' eyes as well, and overall, it read a tad lacking comparing it with the other red entries.
SoggykittenART — Olivia71.25% Style:8 • Motif:5 • Creativity:8.5 • Description:7 Comments:This is very pretty, and just doesn't really meet the challenge in that sense. One of the few times being too pretty is a problem. But nothing about it feels like a plague, it all feels like a blessing instead. But I do get hail, and I do like the outfit. I think if Soggy had harshened the face a little with some kind of shadow or something it would have solved some of the problem. Good description but a little long.
☆═━┈┈━═☆
✩ SoggykittenART — Olivia 60% Style: 7 • Motif: 3 • Creativity: 7 • Description: 7 Comments: A really cute look, I love the colours... it just doesn't scream plague. It's too cutesy, too pastel. It makes me think of spring showers! I feel like the whole outfit just needs to be darker, maybe if it was more gray-blue? I also wish the description was a bit shorter. :'D
☆═━┈┈━═☆
SoggykittenART — Olivia0% Style:7 • Motif:8 • Creativity:7 • Description:9 Comments:This look isn't bad but it needed a darker edge to it. The sky is to bright a nice filter might help here. But I like the different rains layered here and the bubbles or light balls do look like hail or snow. Now focusing on the fashion I do like this outfit Olivia does look like icy the crown and ears are nice. Nothing super impressive but I'm rather satisfied.
SoggykittenART — Olivia75% Style:7 • Motif:7 • Creativity:8 • Description:8 Comments:Feeling a bit torn on this one. Part of me loves the ethereal, icy colors and the other part feels that this still reads too pretty/ice queen for what's supposed to be a horror/creepy challenge. I don't love the legs. The background uses some really clever tricks to emulate hail which I love, but I think the weird dirt piles should have been nixed.
The golden hue of Olivia's long locks compliments red in such a high-class fashion that I couldn't resist engulf her in 𝖗𝖊𝖉and𝖌𝖔𝖑𝖉.
I layered Aerial Ribbon Dancer's sash over the gown from Crimson Debutante for regal flair. I love how the bow from the headband masquerades as part of her dress.
I've always wanted to use the Royal Throne, and this was it! Olivia sits poised in her seat of luxury, ready to enjoy a leisurely evening with you – while elegantly managing to make light use of her pocketbook. Cheers! 🍷⊹
Due to the financial constraints of this challenge I didn't change much, but it was high impact. *Market values fluctuate wildly over time. I kept all of my original item values intact, but used current values for the newly added items.
Wʜᴀᴛ I Lᴇᴀʀɴᴇᴅ:
✪ Switching the pinkier dress out for a richly saturated red one was definitely the right move. This fits the motif much better.
✪ Adding some subtle inexpensive makeup with Venusian Starset and Adorkable Mimi Neko really took her look to the next level
✪ I removed the belt, which wasn't needed after finding the red gown, which had it's own diagonal belt detailing that accompanies her sash beautifully.
Overall, this challenge was difficult to update due to.

SoggykittenART — Olivia63.75% Style:7.5 • Motif:8 • Creativity:5 • Description:5 Comments:If the first description is too long, this one borders on too short. It tells us a lot about how it was assembled/which pieces were chosen, but nothing about why this design/theme was what she chose to do. Olivia looks good, I would have liked a little bit more red? Like the pale red/sheer red on the dress and in the back draping is all a little bit too pink? Idk - but this is a good look. Meets the budget - some of the numbers have changed higher and lower but it has all evened out. Kind of would have liked a red earring. Or something to draw red to the face.

✩ SoggykittenART — Olivia 65% Style: 7 • Motif: 7 • Creativity: 6 • Description: 6 Comments: I like the pose and how Olivia holds the glass of wine. I do wish that the dress was less pink, and I would've loved more on the head/face. I don't know if any eyeshadows are on the cheaper side, but I am sure there are a few blushes? The description looks really short compared to the other challenge-
☆═━┈┈━═☆
SoggykittenART — Olivia0% Style:8 • Motif:8 • Creativity:8 • Description:9 Comments:For a simple outfit with only eight items I think its very visually complex The combination of the two backgrounds creates great visual depth. The Sash with the dress and legs looks very nicely put together. Wine glass pose adds the drape on the arms and then a headband and gold waist chain pull it together. I'm impressed by the smart choices here.
SoggykittenART — Olivia60% Style:6 • Motif:7 • Creativity:6 • Description:5 Comments:Olivia looks very regal! The red and gold is lovely for her features. The atmosphere/BG is nice. I don't love how pink the dress is and how stark the legs look against it. I like the gold belt for the pop of color in the torso in theory, but the more I look at it, I feel like it wasn't needed as it layers a little strangely. Biggest critique though is the description is SO lacking that it's affecting my ability to judge any sort of creative intent behind this look. Like sure it meets the budget challenge but I need more about the styling journey.

𝙏his theme was made for Olivia and her mismatched eyes!
The vibrant colors of this rainbow jacket sent us pining for a high energy day at the local Arcade! My mind instantly leaped to the neon colored carpets and large flashy screens that arcades are know for– The kind of place that shouts FUN!There was only one problem: the long sleeves were bound to interfere with her killer dance moves and make her overheat. No worries – the sleeves zipped right off, transforming it into a vest! (No costume malfunctions allowed when you’re aiming for a combo streak!) We added some neon-blue trim to the base and a bright, chunky plastic pull to the zipper. After that, Olivia was able to move, groove, and rack up high scores in style!
She paired the vest with a crisp white short-sleeved shirt with rainbow ribbon-trimmed sleeves to match.
A pair of comfy black leggings and hot pink shorts let her move freely, and neon sneakers kept her stylish and comfortable all day.
Her green heart charm chain belt adds both movement and flair.
Naturally, she'd need something to hold all her tickets, quarters, and prizes – so we grabbed her slick transparent bag with neon squares to match.
To keep her hair out of her eyes while the arrows fly, Olivia wears a rainbow visor pushed up as a headband, along with tight neon headphones.
Growing up in the '90s, I was surrounded by vibrant Lisa Frank colors and arcades that were somehow dark and bright all at once. The smell of popcorn, the clatter of tokens, and the glow of CRT screens – it all came rushing back. By the early aughts, the flashy DDR machines were popping up everywhere. Today, we chose nostalgia.When we got to the arcade, floor-length screens surrounded the dance platform – and we knew this was it: Olivia's time to shine and bust a move under the flashing lights. Oh yeah, we came to the right place – dressed to match.

･ﾟ✧･ﾟ Before athleisure, this was peak 90s engineering. Remember these??
I remember jackets with removable sleeves being big in the 90s –
I likely had at least one flashy windbreaker with zip-off sleeves when I was young. ･ﾟ✧･ﾟ
To be honest, I wasn't sure if I'd do anything to this look. I was really happy with how it turned out, and so were the judges. It got a near perfect score with the only nitpick being that they thought the leg proportions was a bit off. So, that's the only thing I changed!
Wʜᴀᴛ I Lᴇᴀʀɴᴇᴅ:
✪ This new leg pose may not be as dynamic, but I love the addition of the Velcro shoes, which adds to the 90s motif. The purple, blue, and pink tie nicely with her outfit and help her to really pop.
Overall, either of the legs could work. If the pants matched better, the two poses make for a great dancing gif!
✧･ﾟ🌈･ﾟ✧･ﾟ🌟･ﾟ✧･ﾟ🎶･ﾟ✧ Press Start to Play Olivia’s Mix!
SoggykittenART — Olivia~ • This is another look that got a perfect score this week. Removing the sleeves was a bold, risky move, but man oh man did it pay off! Zippered sleeves fit the inspiration so well and the added zipper was a genius move! The accessories you chose were well thought out, and we loved it. • The only thing that was a drawback for most of the judges was the proportion of the legs, they were just a bit off. But this was a small nitpick in a great week!
SoggykittenART — Olivia100% Style:10 • Motif:10 • Creativity:10 • Description:10 Comments:Soggy is getting away with murder for me here because removing the sleeves should be a big no but I couldn't actually care less. By suggesting in her description that the jacket has zip off sleeves and also the execution of the whole look any negative points were made up. This is the girl at the arcade who I would be obsessed with. I feel like every accessory really sells the concept it feels like all the little dodads were bought with tickets won. This is a such a great look.
SoggykittenART — Olivia86.87% Style:8 • Motif:9 • Creativity:8.75 • Description:9 Comments:So out the gate - while the arm mods look good and fit the over all story of the look - I hated that the sleeves were just gone and the jacket was so changed. But then I read the description and Soggy talked about the sleeves just zippering off and brought up that nostalgia which was so clever and changed my gut reaction to the sleeves. This is a fun look! Olivia is tearing it up at the arcade, I think I would have preferred some kind of fanny pack vs the transparent bag. Love adding the chunky zipper pull to the jacket to make it feel like a more complete garment. This is a fun look!
SoggykittenART — Olivia92.5% Style:8.5 • Motif:10 • Creativity:9 • Description:9.5 Comments:As a fellow child of the 90s, whose taste in music was heavily influenced by frequent exposure to DDR machines at the local arcade, I gotta say I'm really digging this one. The jacket is definitely the basis of the outfit and I think the use of the arm mod here works--I forgot about zippered sleeves! Nice use of colors throughout and the motif is so clear. The legs are a little oddly proportioned IMO but this is a very minor nitpick.

✩ SoggykittenART — Olivia 85% Style: 8 • Motif: 8 • Creativity: 9 • Description: 9 Comments: I love the 90s and DDR inspo, it's a very fun idea!

We didn’t have to think long about what hairstyle Olivia would wear this round.
Since this competition began, Olivia and I have spent a lot of time together. I’ve influenced her looks each week– but this time, the influence was personal.
I recently went to Salon Durem and changed my hairstyle to match my real hair in everyday life. When Olivia saw it, she decided it suited her perfectly too. Suddenly, we weren’t just designing a look… we were twinning.
Not only would she be playing twins for this shoot– she’d be twins with me.ᐟ ♡
✧･ﾟ✦･ﾟ✧━━━━━━━━━
𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤:
Out of my two original looks, this one design was better received. My biggest critiques had to do with the hair feeling too "Ms. Frizzle," too much going on, and the legs being oddly cut off.
Wʜᴀᴛ I Lᴇᴀʀɴᴇᴅ:
✪ This time around, I structured to her head garment using * softened and mellowed the intensity of the hair using filters that unify the look, found a leg with a more desirable drape and fitting celestial details, and changed the color of her bodice to create a more ethereal, misty look.
✪ * is a more suitable background that adds a subtle green wisp in the top right corner and pairs beautifully with *filter, which is now used in the demon look as well.
✪ Star's Flamboyant End creates sumptuous ripples around her and help capture my inspiration more successfully. I will note, this item was not yet available at the time of my original entry, making its debut about a month later. Otherwise, it would have probably influenced my original look.
✪ A subtle shimmer was added to her face to reflect her divine essence.
✪ Filters can be known to wash out a look, but I am obsessed with how dreamy this turned out.
Overall,
✦✹✧✦━━━━━━━━━
𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤:
This original look was not well liked, and after reworking it I'm inclined to agree.
Wʜᴀᴛ I Lᴇᴀʀɴᴇᴅ:
✪ The suggestion by * to play off of the colors from her angel look was a really good one. I weaved the blue into her bodice, brought in the flamboyant colors in the surrounding space, and balanced the oranges with golden hue legs and heels.
✪ Instead of horns, *hat mellows her locks way down with it's addition of a veil, while letting her curls peek through. This transforms the hair from Frizzle to Flapper. The stitches on her hat add visual interest that resembles stars.
✪ Adding shade to her face and a tear to her cheek (or sweat if you'd rather) helps her face here to look more natural, and her emotion more real.
✪ While * objected to the whip, this was one element I insist on keeping for this look. It is crucial to the narrative and my inspiration and I do believe that it is now a more successful focal point in this revamp.
Overall, the bones of these looks were good. Once I stepped back and reworked them they were completely transformed.

🎵 Theme Music for the Twin Heirs:
A soaring piece mirroring the Angel’s ascent and the Demon’s descent.
SoggykittenART — Olivia~ • Going for a default hair is a bold choice, and the judges commend you for doing so. The thought behind it is so wholesome. Angel Olivia was the highlight of your entry. She looks regal and lively. Both outfits match your starry galaxy inspirations well. • The judges felt your hair choice resembled Ms Frizzle's. Beautiful as it is with Angel Olivia, it did not match Devil Olivia, cool as her outfit may be. Interesting as the concept is, the outfits don't mesh well with each other. Devil Olivia wasn't such a hit with the judges, compared to Angel Olivia.

It's such a pretty and fun palette that complements her hair. The hair does read Ms Frizzle, and it's kinda hard not to think of her. Also, the Devil twin is definitely a weaker look; the pose is stiff, and the outfit is quite boring and lacking. I wish Soggy had gone for something more like the Angel's palette, but with a darker twist.

SoggykittenART — Olivia82.5% Style:6 • Motif:8.25 • Creativity:8.75 • Description:10 Comments:Going for a "default" hair here is a BOLD choice and I commend Soggy for trying something a little daring. (The fact that she matched it to her IRL hair is so cute to me--I think it's so funny how everyone in this competition forms such an emotional connection to their model lol). I think her "angelic" look is a very creative take--the aurora/nebula-like color palette is quite unexpected! The minty green pop in the "demonic" look to tie them together and visually represent a meteor streaking through the sky is also quite clever, though I find the rest of the outfit a little too similar conceptually to what some others have done this week. I think the thing that I'm having a hard time getting over is that this hair just reads.... SO Ms. Frizzle to me. Like as cute as the concept of matching it to Soggy IRL is, I ultimately am left feeling like the hair doesn't really mesh with the concept being presented here and it ends up standing out in a bad way.
SoggykittenART — Olivia82.5% (Total Score: 33 pts.) Style: 7 • Motif: 7 • Creativity: 9 • Description: 10 Comments: I find the stars turned angel/devil such an unexpected and cute idea. Soggy definitely captured the colours of her inspiration. The Olivias are giving me life and death, almost. Angel Olivia looks vibrant, with the greens and golds. Devil Olivia looks pretty solid as well. The teal horns and whip do give it an extra creative flair, but the outfit itself does feel a tad too safe for my liking. But the highlight of this entry was 100% the hair choice. The nerve to go for a default hair is such a novel idea, and the hair being modelled after Soggy's IRL hair? Super cute!!!
SoggykittenART — Olivia73.13% Style:6 • Motif:6.75 • Creativity:8 • Description:8.5 Comments:..mkay. So I've been going back and forth with this look. There is a lot of crap thrown onto these looks that makes it hard to really appreciate anything, even though big picture they definitely meet the theme/challenge. And I love that Soggy went for a very mother earth vibe for angelic influence. Love that she changed up the hair to match her real life hair, fun connection. I think the description confused me on the inspiration more than enlightening me. Feet are cut off oddly on the angelic, don't like the horns or whip on the demonic side. And while I love the hair and choosing a base hair, I just don't think it really suits either look. Idk man, I like a lot of these ideas and vibes and the passion but I just don't really like this.

While I loved my original look, I may have created it through an artist's filter. I can see in my mind exactly what it should be, but because of how subtle and subdued the yellow pallet was it just wasn't translating to the judges.
Wʜᴀᴛ I Lᴇᴀʀɴᴇᴅ:
✪ Once I broadened my idea of what was acceptable and stopped translating my mood board so literally, I think I've captured a design that not only is more compelling, yet also honors the motif in a unique way.
✪ Her arms were changed to a different prayer posture, one where the hands gently fold over each other like the girl in the inspiration. This also removed the charm that I had originally turned into part of her shawl.
✪ This gown was chosen to represent the vivid illumination that occurs between shadow and light on a backlit form.
✪ The bow cutter cascades down like the young lady's hair, revealing another floral fabric. The forms of the two dress colors embrace one another like the lion and the lioness.
✪ I've woven floral and filigree elements woven throughout.
✪ The original frame was not well received by one of the judges. I think the circular language of the new frame fits the mood board better and harmonizes well with the color shift of her skirt.
Overall, this look builds off of what I began with in a bold new way.
SoggykittenART — Olivia~ Your mood board look is yellow. Golden everything. Is it connected to the moodboard? Yup. But we can barely see the outfit and this is still a fashion competition. Which is a bummer cause your description shows how much work and thought you put into it. Your second look though was excellent. It fit the collection, was a beautiful color choice, and the gif to invoke spinning was a fun extra.

SoggykittenART — Olivia62.5% (Total Score: 25 pts.) Style: 6 • Motif: 5 • Creativity: 5 • Description: 9 Comments: Seems like she got my yellow moodboard. I was reading this to filth in the discussion chat on Discord for being too literal. With all that said, it's not a bad avatar. I say avatar only because I can't see the outfit, which docks points in my book, given that we're in a fashion competition. My gripe is that while they do get points for accuracy, which would mean that they got the moodboard correct, on paper, I don't like that every single element in the moodboard is taken in such a literal manner that it doesn't actually evoke the mood the moodboard's going for. Olivia does look accurate to her given moodboard, but Soggy didn't evoke the essence of it.
SoggykittenART — Olivia78.36% Style:6 • Motif:10 • Creativity:7.25 • Description:8.5 Comments:I don't like the shadow on the face, though looking at the mood board I can see why it was chosen. Feels literal though. Don't care for the frame. But the biggest issue is I can't see the outfit. And this is a fashion competition. I feel like we've said this enough this season that it should not keep happening. Everything looks better in the normal size avatar included in the spoiler. Soggy put in the work and the description highlights everything. Just falls flat.

What am I supposed to judge, if I can't see most of the body? I do like the crown and the description, though. There's really not that much to talk about....

SoggykittenART — Olivia70% Style:5 • Motif:8 • Creativity:7 • Description:8 Comments:While I feel like this is the most "on the nose" interpretation of the moodboards, I must say the execution is (mostly) quite lovely. The choice of frame and makeup is excellent, and the usage of the shadow on Olivia's face manages to look gorgeous where I usually find it of off-putting. That said... this image did not need to be this big. But my biggest gripe is the pose. Something strange is happening with Olivia's proportions and now she looks like a bobblehead fetus... and I can hardly see any clothing in the outfit!
SoggykittenART — Olivia70% Style:6 • Motif:8 • Creativity:5 • Description:9 Comments:I don't hate this look but we all have our issue with it. I don't mind that its so literal. I do mind that we can't see the outfit. Also why so big?I know its not something to drop the score on but its so massive. I feel like on an earlier challenge it would be an alright look. But its just not quite there this week.
Challenge # 11: History Repeats Itself Designer: SoggykittenArt Changes: Nothing. While it didn't place first, this look ranked so high and suggestions were nearly non-existent, so we kept this look untouched. ★ ☁｡･:*:･ﾟ★･ﾟ☆
a SoggykittenArt production honoring the legacy of Princess Warfare
✦ ─── ✦ ─── ✦
ℬeing new to the world of Project Catwalk, I initially found it intimidating to wrap my head around the many past cycles – there is such a rich history behind this competition. When I entered Cycle 7, I decided I would learn as I went. This challenge finally gave me the nudge I needed to fully explore that history, and I truly appreciated the opportunity to do so.
For this challenge, I was assigned Cycle 5, which presented three incredible finale themes to draw from:
☀𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔽𝕦𝕟𝕘𝕚 𝔽𝕒𝕟𝕥𝕒𝕤𝕚𝕒 by Detrimentum– a fascinating and imaginative kingdom inspired by fungi. ☀The Garden of Mystery by BloodAngel95– a dark, enigmatic garden embracing black florals and intrigue. ☀Cirque du Lola, a Princess Warfare production – a circus-inspired spectacle featuring glamorously battle-ready jesters. While each of these themes was compelling in its own right, Cirque du Lola ultimately played to Olivia’s strengths. Her golden hair and bright, mismatched eyes would struggle to harmonize within a dark floral garden, and the fungi theme would significantly limit suitable color and material options. A circus, however, offered the perfect stage – one where contrast, color, and visual drama are celebrated rather than subdued.
This circus already boasts no shortage of close-combat performers, but one role remained conspicuously open: a long-range, death-defying trapeze artist.
✦ ─── ✦ ─── ✦
✦ ─── ✦ ─── ✦
ℱilling this role required a weapon that was both creative and unconventional – something that could be wielded from the sky while seamlessly integrating into her performance. Olivia’sChakram Bladescomplement her trapeze hoop in an elegant, almost unsuspecting way. With grace, strength, and agility, these circular blades can be launched to strike and return to her place above. As part of her act, they are used to create dazzling displays – shattering props and triggering spectacles across the stage – but troublemakers should beware. Olivia is the hidden treasure of the circus, a silent guardian who protects it from above.

𝒜running motif in Princess Warfare's collection was the Cosmic Cloudbackground, so this is where we began. I chose one of the two color options that she hadn't used in her own collection. I was thrilled that it would seamlessly match a flamboyant color scheme, complementing her eyes with ideal circus flair.
The largest hurdle in creating this outfit was the rear view. Princess Warfare beautifully incorporated both front and back poses for each of her looks, so it was important that I honored that standard. Olivia’s long golden hair, when paired with the Cosmic Cloud, risked overwhelming the composition when viewed from behind and required careful balancing.
Once I found this headpiece, the look finally clicked. The circlet echoes the circular language of her hoopand blades, while its bow resembles classic tent stripes and brings balance to her ensemble. Subtle layered fabrics beneath were chosen to remain lightweight and mobile, allowing the silhouette to feel aerial rather than grounded. Together, these elements bring harmony to the front and back views and complete the outfit with intention.
This look draws inspiration from an iconic warrior-princess of the era, blending strength, grace, and drama. Bolder makeup grounds Olivia as a performance-ready presence – elegant, powerful, and impossible to ignore.

SoggykittenART — Olivia87.5% (Total Score: 35 pts.) Style: 8 • Motif: 8 • Creativity: 9 • Description: 10 Comments: Now this is a serve. This is the type of outfits I wanna see in this challenge! It fits the theme well (arguably better than the original did), Olivia looks gorgeous a trapeze artist, the outfit eats! This reads jester-like better than the original with Olivia being a trapeze artist. Still looking for hints of jester elements here, but it does read circus, so it is somewhat on theme, and it meshes well with the original collection.
SoggykittenART — Olivia96.25% Style:9.5 • Motif:10 • Creativity:9 • Description:10 Comments:This is another entry that at first glance I was kind of indifferent towards. But looking at it closer and going through the description, I really love it. Ties into the collection but doesn't feel quite as on the nose as kaekie's did. Seeing front and back ties into the original just fine but I could have done with only seeing the front view, the back view kills the illusion a little. This color scheme is super flattering to Olivia, and I love the creativity behind her circus act too. Great job! Also like the gif to invoke spinning. heart

I don't know what happened during the previous challenge, but during this one, Soggy did amazing. I adore the pose, the colours, the makeup... It's perfectly fitting for the collection Princess Warfare created. My only real complaint would be that the back looks a little bit off, but I do like the inclusion of the gif.

SoggykittenART — Olivia96.25% Style:9.5 • Motif:10 • Creativity:9 • Description:10 Comments:Gotta hand it to Soggy on this one... this is fantastic. Perfectly nails the spirit of Lola's line while also feeling true to what we've come to see from Soggy at this point in the use of color and fanciful details. Truthfully I don't have many notes; if I had to give a nitpicky critique it would be that the color scheme (like IJ's entry) feels a little too relied upon/too matchy-matchy. (this also kind of happens in Lola's collection, to be fair.) It might have been nice to have some larger swaths of black to break up the intensity a bit.
SoggykittenART — Olivia92.5% Style:10 • Motif:10 • Creativity:8 • Description:9 Comments:For me this WAY makes up for the weaker moodboard entry. It took what PW did and polished it. Olivia is preforming! Also Soggy chose a strong color scheme for her it just plays off her eyes SO SO well. I love it and have no notes.
𝕿o embody the Suit of Clubs ♣, Olivia takes center stage – commanding a sultry nightclub, her long-stemmed, clover-shaped microphone in hand as both instrument and emblem, ready to deliver the performance of her life.
Her dress has been meticulously constructed to mirror the clover silhouette of a club. Stark Madame Guillotine’s overdress and Shadowy Mad Marionette’s corset pair seamlessly to form the three rounded leaves, while the Dynastic Ribbon drapes elegantly to create the stem. Foreboding Firefly’s Flame was woven into the layers to introduce movement and visual drama, giving the design a sense of rhythm on stage.
Rather than depicting Clubs as a weapon of force, I chose to interpret it as a symbol of performance, ambition, and creative power.
The necklace itself was thoughtfully constructed through layered elements rather than a single piece. Charm Points were used to remove the sleeves from the bottom-most layer of her dress, leaving behind two subtle glints of gold that frame the neckline and form the structural foundation of the necklace.

𝕿his look evolved through an exploration of a clover-shaped silhouette set within a night club setting. Translating the trefoil form into a convincing gown proved more challenging than expected, requiring careful selection and layering to maintain both clarity and elegance. While I initially envisioned Olivia dancing in a modern club, the developing silhouette naturally guided her toward a vintage nightclub singer persona, where the sweeping curves of the curtains and stage harmonize beautifully with the clover imagery.
Because the microphone is essential to her narrative, I was mindful of how it might obstruct the dress’s form. This led me to explore creative ways to preserve her commanding performance pose while still showcasing the gown at its fullest. By animating between arm and leg poses that keep her silhouette uninterrupted, Olivia is able to reveal the rounded structure of the bodice, her delicate jewelry, and the full intention of the design without compromising the integrity of her ensemble. A cheeky wink completes the moment, reinforcing her confidence as she commands both stage and spotlight. ♣
SoggykittenART — Olivia~ • The judges were so impressed with this look and the club silhouette you constructed. For how simplistic it may look at a glance, you showed incredible attention to detail. Everything you chose to add was done with intention and craftsmanship—even your curtain choice evokes the shape of the club. Lastly, the concept of Olivia performing in a club was a creative way to interpret the motif. Well done! • The only negative for the judges was the makeup. The yellow-green color around Olivia's eyes stood out as unflattering to some, and a different hue would have worked better here.

✩ SoggykittenART — Olivia 80% Style: 8 • Motif: 8 • Creativity: 8 • Description: 8 Comments: One of the simpler entries, but it's well thought out. The club motif is a bit overplayed when it relates to cards, but it makes sense with the club card. Making the curtains create the club shape was really an amazing idea, and it made this entry my number two, thanks to it! I wish it was a bit more creative, but honestly, the thing that bothers me the most is the weird yellow-green blush. I wish Soggy had gone either more coral or gold.
☆═━┈┈━═☆
SoggykittenART — Olivia97.5% Style:9 • Motif:10 • Creativity:10 • Description:10 Comments:This is a great design. The use of items that aren't clubs but reflect the motif are so well chosen. Its not as grand or flashy as other designs but I like that here it feels clean and crisp. I think Soggy really shows here what she can do extremely well. It reminds me of the train car look which was one of her best. Specifically in the clearness of concept while working with the challenge. I'm also very impressed because in my opinion Clubs was the hardest suit to work with.
SoggykittenART — Olivia92.5% (Total Score: 37 pts.) Style: 9 • Motif: 10 • Creativity: 9 • Description: 9 Comments: Arguably one of the more clever takes on this challenge. Love that every aspect of the look has "club" to it. From the setting, down to the shape of the dress. This definitely reads "club" through and through. Probably pretty up there in the motif category. The dress itself is ambitious yet executed flawlessly. I could tell right away Olivia is the "club". Maybe too much yellow around Olivia's eyes. Personally, would've gone with more black and a touch of red in the makeup, but the dress is definitely the star here. I live for this.
SoggykittenART — Olivia88.75% Style:8 • Motif:8.5 • Creativity:10 • Description:9 Comments:This is the simplest look of the four, but it is soooo damn effective! I love the layers to it. Using the curtains to make a club shape. Making it a literal club too. The club shaped microphone is a fun little detail too. It is a nice outfit too! Don't love what is happening with the face, not sure why the cheeks are grossly yellow? I like that it is black and gold.
SoggykittenART — Olivia100% Style:10 • Motif:10 • Creativity:10 • Description:10 Comments:If I were to sum up Soggy's journey this cycle... I think she's quite the wild card (pun intended). I feel like I never know what to expect from her looks and every week has been a pleasant surprise in the best way possible. Honestly I am blown away by this one--a deceptively simple look but it is so clever in the execution.I could wax poetic about the silhouette of the dress that was created here and how the curtains mirror the club shape--it's just *chef's kiss* perfection to me. I thought this would be a tough suit to pull off but Soggy just nailed it! The makeup definitely does lean a little oddly green in spots and could have maybe used a little more warmth to balance things out but tbh it's so subtle (at least with my monitor settings) that I don't think it diminishes the look. Also while the look is solid on it's own, I just gotta say the animation is such a cute way to show things off!
