Finally! After a long, LONG wait, I've finally caught up on all my Model Challenges! This is part 1 of 2 of the model challenge catch up images; this one in particular contains only challenge designs for my FantasyChallenges Fire Elemental model, Cináed! (Pronunced KIN-ahj.) NOTE: While I did each round's designs in order, the actual models are not in order challenge-wise. From left to right:

Prompt 5: The theme for this round was different forms of water, and Cin (pronounced Kin) received this image: img00.deviantart.net/211f/i/20… Since steam is such a wispy substance I initially planned on her wearing a wispy, whimsical dress, but I backtracked and decided instead to give her something more like a sleep outfit with some wispiness to it. I also decided to show her powers as more of a smoky-steam for this, as if she's just getting ready to use them to maybe heat up her morning coffee or something. I also had her standing in a bit of flowing water to show her feet steaming because... I dunno honestly, it just kinda looked cool??? Anyway, I like this prompt/round but it's not my favorite of the bunch; I like the smoke wisps best out of all the outfit's details.

Prompt 4: This round's theme was Medieval Dresses-always a favorite imho. (I like fancy medieval/renaissance/etc. dresses, so sue me.) I was given this dress for Cin: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/7… I honestly didn't get too detailed on this one having already made two very detailed/somewhat-accurate Medieval dresses for challenges before; instead I went for a more half-accurate-half-inspired-by-the-original look, with a detailed bodice and the signature red folds in the skirt. Honestly the most notable thing about this outfit is that Cin doesn't have her signature red streaks in her hair; that would be because I headcanon this to be a dress she wore before her ascendance to Elemental-hood, back when she was still just a priestess to a Fire deity.

Prompt 3: This was the traditional Halloween round, with a twist: the Elementals were asked to make outfits inspired by their particular element's Benders from Avatar: The Last Airbender. We were specifically asked NOT to base our outfits off of a single character. Cin of course received the Fire Benders: static2.hypable.com/wp-content… I went into Google to search for other Fire Bender outfits on this one, and eventually noticed several key things about Fire Bender/Fire Kingdom outfits as a whole: 1. There aren't a lot of smooth edges/curves; everything is pointed and sharp. 2. Fire Benders/Fire Kingdom residents wear a lot of layers (regular residents less so but they're still present), presumably maybe to avoid being burned by their own fire. 3. Typical outfit colors include lots of reds and golds with some very dark reddish-browns and red-tinged black; basically there are nest to no cool colors in their attire. Using these typical traits as guides, I developed an outfit for Cin to wear that looks like it could have come right out of A:TLA. I gave her a reddish-brown bodysuit and layered a red tunic with pointed hems over the top, trimmed everything in gold and gave her poofed sleeves to complete the look. For her hair I struggled a bit, debating between a top knot or a high pony tail (two signature hairstyles throughout A:TLA but especially in the Fire Kingdom) and having trouble figuring out what to do with the front of her hair. Eventually I went with a high ponytail and made her red streaks into braids. Over all I think this is my favorite outfit of the bunch, especially with the pointed tunic hems.

Prompt 2: This round was all about homes; for Cin's home I received this image of a fireplace: superiorclay.com/wp-content/up… I decided to draw vague inspiration from the fireplace and gave Cin a warm winter outfit in the fireplace's colors. This would be something she might wear while traveling to other Fire Deity temples, and wouldn't look out of place if she wore it in front of a fireplace.

Prompt 1: This round was all about making realistic creatures/hybrids (this being a Mythical/Fantasy Creatures challenge over all). For the Elementals, though, we received special rules: our Elementals were not supposed to be shown just USING their element, but actually BECOMING their element. We were each given pictures of inspirations to that, and this one was mine: t.wallpaperweb.org/wallpaper/m… I honestly didn't even look at my image cause I already had an idea in mind for what I wanted to do. For this round I kept Cin's outfit simple, just a black dress with a red one-shoulder strap detail. For her Elemental parts I made her hair partially fire, made flames going up her left arm, and put flames coming out from under her feet. I also made her eyes a solid, glowing red. Maybe at some point when I have the time I'll make her in her Flame On! Full Elemental form (body entirely encased in fire, hair completely made of fire, etc), but for right now we have this partial hybrid form.

Prompt 6: This is the final outfit of the pack, and you might notice that this outfit is in stark contrast from the others. Why is that? Because for this round's theme, Wings, SOMEONE ( Daughterofthehunt10 ) decided to be FUNNY and gave me baked chicken wings: assets.epicurious.com/photos/5… Now, I can deal with having food as a prompt (in fact another challenge based an entire round around the theme of food), but there are SOME things that simply aren't suitable to be made into an outfit (unless you're Lady Gaga), and chicken wings are one of them. -.- So, instead I made Cin into a Modern!AU waitress outfit complete with an apron, and put the chicken wings on a plate in her left hand. I also gave her a disgruntled expression because reasons. Hey, it was just required that the wings be part of the outfit; it wasn't specified on HOW they were incorporated.
