Prom Photoshoot (Final) Assignment for OC-training !

It's difficult to realize we're all reaching the end of this incredibly fantastic in OC-Training!

But what a remarkable journey each of us has experienced! We've had a diverse cast of characters and brilliant worlds (and world-building!) from each creator who joined us in this awesome round!

Yet the end draws near, and we may all appreciate in retrospect what great support and development we received and developed in this round.

Personally, this round began shakily for me. Gerda began as an afterthought of a concept. Truth be told, she was elusive, maybe it was her shy nature and wanting others to go in front of her that had me confused. Even in the beginning of this round, I seriously consider switching horses in mid-stream and enrolling the Frost Lord instead of Gerda.

However, several awesome friends (special thanks to charcoalfeather , MegaMaeve and dragondoodle ) expressed their faith and support in Gerda and her story, and as a result, Gerda began growing through each assignment. Thanks so much, all of you guys, for helping Gerda grow confident in herself and her story!

And it's special thanks to all of you, everyone OC-training , that Gerda and her story will take full flight (no pun intended) after this round! Both she and I hope anyone who is interested will join us for the future developments and its installments!

Although the outfit above was not feature in the Wardrobe Assignment (this outfit wasn't conceived yet in the story), it shows a role Gerda must take on later in the story. Not to give out too much spoilers here, but it pertains to a pivotal role of the Autumn Season. This particular ensemble above, however, is Gerda's ceremonial apparel, and not the outfit she wears in her daily labors of her major role.

Inspired by the form and designs of old Kievan Rus clothing (and strong medieval Slavic vibes), Gerda's dress reflects the colors of Autumn- scarlets, golds, russets, greening golds, brassy and coppery hues, and rich reds and vermillions. And how fitting Gerda be suited for the Autumn, esp since Autumn reflects a sort of fire in terms of color and energy in the earth.

Needless to say, Gerda's role also has her heavily involved in harvests as well.

Deepest apologies for not cutting out Gerda cleanly- despite numerous efforts with MS Paint, I could not cleanly cut out Gerda on a transparent background. Please, if you could, Akaszik , you may cut out Gerda yourself as you had done with Andrei in the previous round. I would be most grateful if you could.

Still have to figure out what to do for the enjoyment assignment.... ... only ten days left to finish it!
