Welcome to the Monthly Zelfie Giveaway!!! If you're reading this, then you're about to enter the competition to win some fantastic Zelf Prizes over the next few months! We all love Zelfs (and who doesn't?  ) and this is the beginning of a brand spanking new section of the Forums (Fun and Games) so what better way to coincide than to give away some Zelf prizes to our lovely Forum Members!!!  Here's the rules - Basically you have to come up with a brand new Zelf (each month will have a different theme, dependent on which prize I'm giving away) At the bottom is a Zelf template for you to start work with, just add ears, wings, tails, colours and symbols or whatever else you want! So long as it fits the theme, you will be eligible to enter!... and If you want to further elaborate to boost your chances, then add a little Zelf bio or more pictures (for those budding artists out there!) Don't forget to give it a name too!!! <3 <3 <3 So, for example if this months theme is Insect Zelfs, then you have to design and come up with a new Zelf, like a Beetle or Grasshopper (something that hasn't already been done/seen) and bring it to life by submitting it here with your name, design and bio! Just post in here, you'd like to enter this months contest and add your lil' Zelfie here! Simples!! You have TWO weeks from the 1st of each month, where I'll tell you the theme and the prize, and unfortunately any entries after the 15th of each month, won't be submitted I'm afraid, then in the 3rd week, I'll give you all the chance to PM me with which Zelf you think should win (it will be 50/50 Viewers votes and my Head Judge vote to keep it fair) and at the end of the month we'll announce the winner!!! The winner's prize will consist of fantabulous Zelf prizes (I've got a stash of mediums, larges, rare's and other bits and pieces!) each month, and once the winner is announced, I'll post the prizes off to you!!!...and if you're really really lucky, you might get a story or artwork or even a custom made Zelf of your Brand New Zelf!!! If anyone would also like to donate prizes for the future or help out, then PM me!!! So what are you waiting for??? Oh yeah, this first Giveaway!!! Hopefully a fair few of you will enter (I'll cry if nobody does!) but this months first theme is Space, Planets and the Universe, the prize will be a Medium Galexia and some rare Zelf goodies! (don't worry the prizes will get bigger and better - look out for the Cleocat Giveaway!) You have 13 days starting now to submit your Zelfs. Good Luck everyone!!! (and no don't worry if your not very good at Art, its the idea and concept rather than how good you are at designing! or if you don't want to use the template, just simply draw it the best you can!) and remember to Love Your-Zelf and others!!!

I LOVE this idea! Here's my entry!  Name: Orion Zelf Bio: Orion likes nothing better than to look at the night sky! He loves learning about the stars and planets, and does his own sketches of the constellations and patterns he can see while he's stargazing. Because of this, Orion likes to sleep during the day so he has plenty of energy for his astronomy at night! Zelf Power: Studying Fabitat: The Zelfescope Observatory Birthday: 15th February (William Herschel's birthday - Herschel was the scientist who discovered orion!) I absolutely LOVE space-themed toys as astronomy was something I loved as a kid. They make me feel really nostalgic Orion is based on one of the most well-known constellations, and his wings ideally would be similar to Angelala's (feathery/fluffy) but a nice gold colour. I wanted to keep his colour scheme fairly simple, as I tried to imagine how he'd work as a toy. The freckles on his cheeks are meant to look like little stars too, and his belly button makes up one of the stars of orion's belt |

Thanks for the responses so far everyone! And Twinklestah for your super-quick response!!! I think just one for now Magpie if that's okay, don't want to get overwhelmed, but you have two weeks to plan and design your ideas into an awesome Zelf!!! Can't wait to see what you come up with? XD |

This was hard for me to decorate on a small phone screen with fat fingers and I don't know much about space but try to imagine it.
I wanted to make a black glitter zelf with rainbow stars everywhere but it was to hard for me.
So instead imagine my cosmo cosmic space zelf dark grey or black glitter with a half earth head with starry space body.

Thanks for the response pitbullluver21! Don't worry, I can imagine what you are saying and like I said, you don't need to be good at Art to enter! Do you want to make a little bio for him also??? Hi Liannec, of course you can! In fact I actively encourage it!! Haha. The template is just for those who can't really draw, as a base/guideline! Don't forget a little description of what they look like and a bio, if possible!!! |

Haha. Yeah, you don't have to use the template Twinks, its for those that want to use it! I noticed you didn't add ears??? Lol. Hi Lianne, click on reply on the right hand side at the bottom, where you fill in your reply, that should open up a screen and click add attachment to add your uploaded photo! Hope that helps??? |

Everyone's entries look great! The more the merrier ^o^ I'm done. I hope she's okay ^_^
- Zelf Power: Horticulture
- Fabitat: Granny Zemth Orchard
- Birthday: 22nd of April (The day worldwide events are held for support of the environment)
- Zelf Bio:
Based on the idea of Gaia, Terra is an Earth based Zelf with the ability of flight. Calm and collected, she is responsible for the plant life all over the various Fabitats. Plants spring up in her steps, and small rainclouds or sunrays can appear; depending on what's needed.
