SMW's GOT TALENT REVAMPED


This post initially got mixed responses, however I was compelled enough by some of you who were interested to bring it back.

Liljsweetie suggested making it an open forum and I really liked that idea! Thank you!

So, this will be a constant staple at SMW and you will see the link in the tabs and on the side bar.

At ANYTIME you can post your talent either by picture or Video and the judges and I will keep checking the post periodically. 

Any talent that is chosen to be featured on the blog gets to choose:

$100sd 
OR
  A GRAB BAG item

See Grab Bag HERE.
(Please note this constantly changes so we will show an updated one at the time)


What to do:

 1. Make a YouTube video showing your talent. You DO NOT have to show yourself in the video if you don't want to. I just need to be sure it is not taken from someone else on the internet. 

~State your Stardoll Name and tell us what your talent is.
~If you don't want to talk and your talent does not require you to. You can hold up a poster board (paper) with this information before showing your talent.

2. Make a post saying what your talent is and give us a little information about it. How you got interested, how long you have been doing it etc.. Then click post. 
Be sure you are signed into Disqus.

3. Then REPLY to your own post to load your video. If a youtube video. Click the share link under your video and copy the video url. Paste it in the comment box. See below.

*IMPORTANT* The reason I want you to post the video under a reply post is because I have been told that it makes the webpages load time longer. If it becomes an issue, I want to be able to move the videos to our judging blog.


ALTERNATIVE OPTION: For non active talents ONLY. Like drawing, photographs, crafts etc.


1. You can post an image in comments. 

It must be VERY clear that it is you in the photo. Hold up a piece of paper saying your "Stardoll Name" FOR STARDOLLS MOST WANTED in the SAME photo as your talent entry.

2. Make a post saying what your talent is and give us a little information about it. 
How you got interested, how long you have been doing it etc.. Then click the picture icon on the lower left corner of the comment box and click post. 
Be sure you are signed into Disqus.

Rules:
~Please NO CHEATING
~You must be a member of this blog, of our club HOTBUYS_BAZAAR and registered in the chat box on the right sidebar. Click HERE for details.
~Must follow guidelines in post

Hopefully people will be active in this! I think it's really interesting to see what other people can do. Hopefully we'll see some unusual talents, as those are (in my opinion) the most interesting ones.

ilgd/Ino said...

Sounds exciting! I'm curious to see what talent everyone has, and hopefully I'll soon manage to make a video for mine :)

xXAnniquegXx said...

It's times like this that I really wish I had a talent...

Minxingmaniac < Stardoll Acc. said...

Okay :3 Here's my so-called 'talent' ^-^ I'm a bit of an artist, and started my interest in art first when my mum got her first tattoo. I dream of becoming able to have enough skill to permentantly leave my artwork on somebody's skin but feel i'll never have the talent. Being a tattoo artist, art teacher or car designer is my ultimate goal but i think i lack the self confidence to achieve it :? I've chosen to take art at GCSE this year so hope that Year 10 and my now 14 year old self will bring me more opportunities to become more confident with my art and start to progress to better things :3


This drawing is inspired by Doe Deere; a beautifully stunning makeup creator and owner of Lime Crime Makeup - The drawing isn't finished yet and im still not happy with it but its getting there ^~^ The drawing doesn't do her justice, but im kinda pleased with it anyway ♥


Minxingmaniac x

Minxingmaniac < Stardoll Acc. said...

I forgot to attach the drawing, sorry! *-*

Lily-Ariana said...

Okay so after seeing @Minxingmaniac < Stardoll Acc.:disqus's post I feel insecure posting this omg. Well, here are 2 terribly failed drawings I just sketched at 2 in the night. Heh.

BerryLolitta said...

I'm not brilliant but I do fashion sketches, I knit as well though if I filmed the knitting it may take weeks seeing as I'm too slow lol! & ooo multi-talented :o you should do both ;)

Jillian - Liljsweetie said...

hahaha, I should.. hmm, :D I might have to! :D

AW! That is AWESOME! You should 100% enter both things! <3 I'd love to see some of what you do. You knit? I used to knit but I stopped when I was still in elementary school and never really relearned haha. XD That is awesome! what kind of things do you knit?

Jillian - Liljsweetie said...

This is so cool! <3 Super pretty!

Jillian - Liljsweetie said...

You did a great job! <3

Jillian - Liljsweetie said...

I really like them! :D They look awesome. I think everyone has their own type of sketching and drawing! your's is very unique and also very raw. I love them both! 2 am?! haha. Literally when all my good ideas come out. haha XD

Aladiah said...

I totally agree with Liljsweetie, they're really beautiful and expressive!

Aladiah said...

Very beautiful:o

Aladiah said...

You have an really unique &nice voice!
I'm not a big fan of a cappella, but you did very good!^^

Aladiah said...

How were your hands afterwards btw? I remember drawing with pencil and ending up with black hands from smudging my drawing XD

zhan-zhan said...

tnx?? i thought my voice was alien?? LOL

zhan-zhan said...

ilove the sketch???

Jillian - Liljsweetie said...

no, it's totally not! haha XD I really liked it!

Rosie/Rose_Jean said...

Your voice is really good! You should invest in a proper microphone though :)

Minxingmaniac < Stardoll Acc. said...

I definatley hand 'artist hand syndrome' as my mum calls it XD - they were completely covered in pencil smudge!

Minxingmaniac < Stardoll Acc. said...

Thankyouuu :3

Minxingmaniac < Stardoll Acc. said...

Aww, Thankyou so much!

Aladiah said...

At first I was gonna do a song on the guitar, but then I saw all these drawings and I felt that I should draw someting again. XD. I'm kinda proud of it, since I haven't drawn in quite some time :o. It's inspired by this photograph: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/213146994834420793/
So here goes... xD

Aladiah said...

*le drawing*

Aladiah said...

lol XD. yup, remember that from art class at school. i didnt care tho, as long as my drawing looked alright XDD.

Jillian - Liljsweetie said...

I have to say... you're drawing is better than the inspiration photo! LOVE this <3 You did such a beautiful job!

Aladiah said...

That's so sweet! thanks! :3
And I stalked this thread, so I noticed u said talent is writing and also drawing XD. U should post something, maybe like a story or sumthing? or a poem, or a drawing? :p. I'm always curious what other people create:D
and -well, it's 2:30 am here so I should probs go to sleep now xD. g'night.

Samantha Champagnie said...

What happens if you enter talents seperately? Do youget seperate prizes or one prize for all your talents?

zhan-zhan said...

tnx??

Jillian - Liljsweetie said...

Of course! It looks perfect! <3

AW! <3 I might XD I think I might post a drawing or story. I have a few stories I always work on, but they are so so so long and I always feel bad when I write uber long posts, we;ll see what happens! XD

I'm always curious as well! haha Night! :D

zhan-zhan said...

greatb job Aladiah

JosephinaA said...

So this is the drawing I made last night at like 4 am xD not my best, but well... I can show you more if you want!
Any kind of visual art is my hobby, but I consider drawing my talent because it's the only thing that I never really learned. I mean, I've learnt photography techniques, how to use a sewing machine, acting techniques, photoshop tutorials... but I never payed any attention to drawing techniques. It's something that comes naturally to me.


This drawing is based in an advertisement from an old Vogue, I think it was some perfume.
Hope you like it!

JosephinaA said...

Love Pink! You did amazing, your tone is amazing :D

tnesbitt said...

JosephinaA said...

Love that hair! You must be really patient hahahha
Amazing job :D

mirdith said...

Ok, so I know this isnt exactly a talent. I just feel like I do a lot of things but anything good enough to be considered a talent.


So, what I'm doing for SMW's got talent is singing and playing the guitar. Is very typical and I'm not going anywhere, is just one of my hobbies. I get very shy in front of the camera, sorry about that!
Like a lot of kids I have always liked singing. I realized I was not bad when I began playing Singstar and I beat everyone hahaha. The guitar thing came when I found my mother old spanish guitar (when I was around 15 years, now I'm 20) and I decided to learn. She taught me some chords and I began playing some easy songs she used to play and taught me. Then I abandoned it, until I began to like Taylor Swift so much that with "Teardrops on my guitar" I forced myself to learn the chords necessaries for playing it properly (Poor my family who had to hear me learning, I was terrible at the begining and repeated over and over again, for nearly 1 minute for each phrase haha)
That's why I like my "chosen talent". I have never taken classes, and I feel proud of what I've learned totatally on my own. As long as I liked a new song, I searched for the chords and learn them until they sounded good. I think I know all the chords now, at least all the basics. And about my singing... well, I repeat sorry for my shyness. I feel kind of embarrased to post me here talking in English (btw the flag is a memory, I'm spanish) and singing. It's nothing professional, just a hobbie but I feel condifent enough to submit it.


I hope you like it!


PS. I tryed a lot of songs, but finally I was between this two and I didn't know which one to submit, so I hope you allow me to post to videos. This way I show more :)

Aladiah said...

thanks!:)

Aladiah said...

haaha thankss, it was just spasticly moving my pencil tho, i dont really have patience XD

Aladiah said...

beautiful voice!:o so awesome!!:D

Jillian - Liljsweetie said...

ok.... so I wasn't going to post any art because... I'm honestly not as good as I think I and i can't even out. I definitely have drawn and doodled most of my life. My grandmother always drew pictures with me (she literally should illustrate children's books) and I always tried to copy what she did, but not very successfully. I draw now for stress relief, it takes my mind away from my problems and focuses it in one solid spot. :) I've had friends who draw and I always pick up on what they do and try new things, recently I've been into messing with shading, I usually just draw in pencil. I also watch Kat Sketch on Youtube, and she has some amazing drawings, she draws almost everyday. She's inspired me to start drawing everyday XD

Anywho, I found this really pretty model shot and I thought I'd give it a try.... also I drew an eyeball because if I draw 2, I'm bound to make one offset. XD haha. Anywho, I hope you enjoy, (or not because these are a bit out of focus for some reason!) - liljsweetie / Jillian
Anyway, I might post some of my writing later on... or something, :) Not too sure yet!
>.< Not sure if I should post anything at all hahaha. Okay doing it! XD

Jillian - Liljsweetie said...

ohhh shoot. I might as well post this too >.< XD I didn't draw it today, I drew it a few days ago, I tend to also draw while lightening to music or a podcast. (HarmonTown is my favorite podcast and currently listening to Apache Tomcat's song "Mouse Trap" - on a side note the song was free from free music archive, not sponsored, i just love the stuff since it's not copyrighted or anything!) :P

JosephinaA said...

It's amazing ♥
Olé qué arte! jajajaj

mirdith said...

Lo tuyo es arte y lo demás son tonterias jajajajajjjaj

☯ ナイフ =^._.^= ☯ said...

I don't consider this to be a real talent but something i like to do once in a while: henna hand painting. My interest started when i was younger. I would sometimes go to weddings and see the henna and sometimes get it on my hand as well. It's fun to do some henna painting for family and friends. Today a friend of mine was kind enough to act as a hand model. I used a ready-made mehndi cone and took a before picture, a picture with the henna paste on the hand and a picture with the result after removing the paste.

Aladiah said...

thanks!:)

Jenny-boo/lahurina said...

This is my entry.Its a drawing of a balerina for my sister who wanted to gift her friend something special. I'm so sorry Because she had to sign it with a hart and her and her friends name,hahaha.(Nina is my sis and Ajisha her friend) Its not the best what I could do but I gave a try. My dollie's name is lahurina.

Jenny-boo/lahurina said...

Ooopsie I just saw it's a little up-side-down,I hope that doesn't matter :)

Ka.s2 said...

I started practicing drawing this year, because I always though it was a very interesting thing to do, even though I was so bad at it. After a LOT of practice, I've got a few drawings that I'm proud of. I never thought I could make it this far.

I decided to share my two favorites, if it's ok to post more than one. They're not my best, but I like them because they are the first I finished completely, and I'm very happy with the results!

I usually draw "my version" of other people's fan artwork from movies and games that I like, cause it makes it all more fun and easier to practice, but sometimes just random images I get online like these two.



:)

Ka.s2 said...

Oosp, two of the same one, sorry u.u

tnesbitt said...

This is another entry of me singing bulletproof. I love singing I have been singing since I was about 2. I never was allowed get lessons so I had to teach myself. I wish I was able to get lessons though because I dont feel like a good singer haha. But yeah This is my passion in life I never stop singing my family always have to tell me to shut up :) stardoll name is tnesbitt * LISTEN WITH HEADPHONES http://youtu.be/iu6rfErBKDc

ilgd/Ino said...

I've started crafting almost five years ago, I see this more like a skill than a talent. I started with small easy crafts like felt coin purses. And then I discovered jewelry crafting. I experiment with a lot of materials from rope and polymer clay to bottle caps, bolts and resin. I especially like making rings. My first ring was the Amelie bottle cap (1st pic left) and my most recent is the industrial large ring (1st pic right). My favourite of the bunch is the Audrey Hepburn ring!

mamerala The Sad Queen ಠ_ಥ said...

god at last *O* i would submit mine now but i couldnt find the other cell phone to take picture cause its camera more clear -.- i will try later when i find time, its the locket i talked about before

mamerala The Sad Queen ಠ_ಥ said...

amazing *O*


i wanted to try this type of crafts but its hard in my country to find these tools and materials D: i barely work with wood and random pieces of metals also home junks

mamerala The Sad Queen ಠ_ಥ said...

i will try, but my parents refuse buying from net and this whole work because i hurt myself sometimes D:

mamerala The Sad Queen ಠ_ಥ said...

user mamerala
here you go and i was had to post the old locket picture so you can see how it moves
sorry if picture repeated

my story with handi-crafts, my whole art, tricks->drawing->writing->handi-crafts are actually somehow connected but i will say more about handi-crafts sorry if its long i'm trying to tell it all
well since childhood um maybe 5 or something i loved playing with small real saw and cut stuff as if i was carpenter, you might say i was copying someone but no none of my family carpenter or even know this work, i just loved cutting stuff and know how, after few years maybe 7-8 i started my interest in tricks, learning few by time, then at school i was making a small paper boxes my first handi-crafts.

after few more years maybe i was 10-12 i saw the illusionist movie, i got obsessed with the locket and its trick, i swore i must have it by anyway. my parents laughed and told me how and no one can make it for you. i said ok, but i didnt gave up, then by luck when i started talking about it again infront of my uncle he told me he got few wood pieces workers left after decorating his house and they left a saw(the one like ruler) too, so i told him i can try with them.

i started working and working, but i was noob and didnt get any help, and my parents were buying tools slowly, i kept watching all tutorials people made, but i was still having issue figuring it out after about 5 years from trying, i made it but i wasnt sure how the picture move without being cut in two halves, then i remembered this trick when we move magnet to pull something secretly and that was it the magnet should pull the picture from side to middle when i open it

i didnt have enough while i was making it i kept making more accessories they might be low quality and get rusted fast but i love wearing them
i refuse paying on fake accessories

mamerala The Sad Queen ಠ_ಥ said...

sorry didnt upload the locket movement

Ka.s2 said...

This is amazing! *-* Love that movie!

mamerala The Sad Queen ಠ_ಥ said...

thanks ^-^
i really got obsessed with this locket as soon as i saw it D: thank god i finally have it and made by me *O*

Ka.s2 said...

Yeah, I've seen it for sale, but it is really cool that you made it yourself! Makes it more special ^^ Congrats again!

mamerala The Sad Queen ಠ_ಥ said...

yeah i really didnt mind that it took long years, and i'm still trying to improve its mechanism, i love wearing my own work even if it was rusted or not good looking.
theres one made by man related to movie he made it in different way depending more on magnets he's selling it for around 100-200$ depending silver or gold and which shape, i want to figure it out later when i get better tools

skykam said...

here is mine. I'm a self taught artist and i mainly do tattoo designs. Although i'm not much into portrait painting i like drawing abstract and landscapes. I've been drawing ever since i can remember. I believe my creative mother and grandmother has inspired me to do this so. Although i hardly get much time anymore to draw, when i have free time i kind of get lost in my thoughts and create some artwork. Hope you guys enjoy. Here are some of my tattoo designs :) a lady from US has used one of these flower designs as her tattoo.. i was honoured :')

skykam said...

here is more x

lara_klc said...

finally here I am... I'we been thinking a lot about this until I got the idea to show you something different. few years ago I I discovered that I have a talent of patience or if you prefer.. origami talent
in the picture is what I have left. I've been making a lot of these flower bouquets but I've already gifted all of them :(
what I like the most: with origami you can really show your creativity. with this little stars you can do a million things and you can combine every possible color
anyway it takes a lot of time...for example watermelon bottle took me two days

JosephinaA said...

Aww so cute! I love making those little stars, I put them in a jar as home decor. I never saw those flowers tho, they look beautiful :)

Sarah (Hsm3rocks11011) said...

Not to long ago I found out that I had a talent for making graphics :) I hope this qualifies as a talent! It didn't state whether it could be stardoll related or not.

I started making them this year maybe in May. I got interested in trying this out for myself since I've seen many amazing graphic being made and thought it was an amazing talent to have and always wished I could do it, so I tried! Little did I know it would become a fun hobby of mine and I really love doing it now in my spare time. Perhaps I could become a graphic designer when I'm older ♥

I attached some examples to this comment and here is a video of me making one of them :)

Sweet_gal11 said...

For as long as I can remember I've loved art and drawing. I've grown up in a family of artists and musicians so they have helped me hone my skills and become a better artist. Aside from taking art in school I've had no training or instruction and I did this piece on my own time. I love art so much and I'm so happy to be sharing mine with everyone here. Thanks for this opportunity! Check out my Instagram @steeeeeeeefan if you want to see my photography as well as my art! :D
