It's Showtime

Alt Tag

Entry period: Apr 2 - Apr 30

(worth noting that 7.21 comes out on April 22, and plugins could be broken for a while after that)

This is just a "challenge", not a contest with any winners or anything that could cause drama.
Everyone who follows the rules and the theme will be featured in a gallery once it's over. The gallery might have extra details depending on the theme, and the way the pics are arranged is random.
Vanilla glams only, though this time there is one exception, which will be explained below. Modded hairstyles, gear, bodies, scaling, and such are not allowed.

"It's Showtime" Rules:
  • Make a glam for your Arcadion fighter character
  • (Optional) Arcadion fighter alias, which will be listed with the entry if included
  • If you want to make a splash screen like the ones used in the raids, they've added "Next Opponent" stickers to gpose (found under Sticker Mode>Text>Duty)

How to enter:

  • Catbox link (if you want to avoid having to compress the image) or just attach the image in the thread as normal
  • Again: glamour must be vanilla, with one exception for this challenge: a regulator may be used

Two ways to submit the glam:

  • Reply to one of the anchors where I'll post about the challenge
  • Post your entry whenever you want with the code XGC03 included in the post (I'll look up in the archive from time to time and won't miss it)

Can I use ReShade/Brio/Ktisis?

Yes, these are fine, the presentation is up to you.

Why is a regulator allowed?

As in the previous challenges, the presentation and posing is up to each person, which includes props, NPCs, etc. A regulator is an easy prop to use, and would be indistinguishable from the NPC headgear (9246-1) or one of the various mods.
Banning the regulator prop would be very silly, so I thought it'd be better to simply allow it via mods or plugins as well.

Does it have to be a poster like the Arcadion fighters have?

Not at all. That's just a popular pose template that's much easier to make now. Show your Arcadion fighter however you wish.

Do I need to use a weapon?

No, that's optional. How your character fights is part of the persona and presentation, just like in the game.
