[Zane]

this is such a cute idea I hope I can get time to make one :0

Spoiler: He is Alive

This is what we needed

Wait, but the Galaxy Egg has already been made. Can that even count? If it does, I will be the proud creator of the Starpower Egg!

 

[Holla]

I have a really cute idea. Not sure if I can pull it off but I’ll give it a shot. I’m assuming Pipe Cleaners and Pom Poms are allowed? No idea how I’ll be able to get them to stick but I’m willing to give it a try!

Clear tape folded over so its stick on both sides is your friend, as long as you can make sure it isn't showing

We aren't designing eggs that are actually getting made as far as Im aware? Don't think it matters if its based of a collectible

Or a glue gun

Ugh I have lot of ideas in my mind rn but I don't have time for all this... I'll try my best to take part in this

Here's my entry, the Mossy Stone Easter Egg (tried to think outside of the box)!

 

[Han Solo]

Just a quick question, since I have a idea in mind that I may want to make:

Are we allowed to use (air dry) clay and/or wadding?

Would also like to know if clay counts before I get started!

Yeah, but.

"The entry must be made completely by yourself. No plagiarism and no collaborations."

The Starpower Easter Egg has already been made, which means if I decorate my egg the same as that one, i'll plagiarize...

I also want to know if paint is allowed. Because that's what i'll be using.

 

[Zura]

Can the first place egg please become a collectible?

 

[MasterM64]

Can the first place egg please become a collectible?

I honestly think that would be awesome considering how much artistic talent there is on TBT!

Speaking of which, here is what I imagine my entry would like if it became a Easter Egg sometime in the future:

 

[LambdaDelta]

honestly, given the submissions deadline, I highly doubt they'll make them available as collectibles this year

could always make it for next year's egg hunt though

Are we able to see other people's entries on the contest submission board, or just our own? If everyone can see everyone else's entry there, then it looks like I'm the first person to enter. ^o^;>
Or maybe we can only see our own, because I know I've seen other eggs in this thread already...

Currently just our own, but I think we should be allowed to see other people's entries to prevent accidental plagiarism in my opinion. o/

 

[LambdaDelta]

I'd imagine as long as there isn't anything *clearly* up, they'll let the potential handful of similar entries slide

submissions being private is just the standard courtesy the staff give for people not feeling confident enough to show off or whatever iirc

Ah, that makes sense now as to why it is private, confidence is definitely important for the artistic mind for sure!

 

[kiwikenobi]

Plus, if everyone could see everyone else's work, it would be easier for them to copy each other. So, there ought to be much less plagiarism this way.

In any case, here's my egg, if anyone's curious to see it:

It's inspired by my New Leaf town map.

yeah, plus it helps ease the pressure for those that almost certainly don't expect to be nominated. since just participating will net a small reward at least

similar also to how tbt fair contests reward a small sum of tickets for participating.

also, just like this one, distributed after submissions period ends. mainly to prevent people rushing entries to get tickets quickly for whatever fair items they want

That looks super awesome kiwikenobi, very nice work!
