MK3AM & oikalli

Total score: 80/150

Score breakdown and judges' commentary:

MK3AM

Aesthetic: 7/10

Role interpretation: 5/10

It's pretty and very wintry, overall it looks nice. Your theme color was meant to be red though, which you barely have any of in your aesthetic. You also used a badge about bad boys, but you're supposed to be the good one on your team!

oikalli

Aesthetic: 6/10

Role interpretation: 5/10

Unfortunately I had to dock you a few points because you got your aesthetic finished late.

I feel like the signature image is neither holiday-esque nor Grinchy, it's just green. However overall I do like the coordination of the greens and blues, and the fact that somehow the Maniac badge feels thematically on point.

MK3AM + oikalli

Coordination: 3/10

I would've liked to see more coordinated elements. You both just seem like Stray Kids fans who enjoy memes and winter, instead of teammates.

MK3AM

Aesthetic: 4/10

Role interpretation: 5/10

Unfortunately, your aesthetic wasn't very... well, aesthetic overall. Interpretation wasn't that good either, as there was barely any red in your photo, and... is that a good boy gone bad badge? I don't quite think that matches your role! Although, props to the overall wintry feel you've given to your look.

oikalli

Aesthetic: 5/10

Role interpretation: 4/10

I'm afraid that quite a bit of points were deducted because of the late signature. There was really almost no allusion to grinchiness or the fact that this was a holiday-based aesthetic at all. However, the green and maniac badges, mischevious pfp, and grinch quote in your sig were great points.

MK3AM + oikalli

Coordination: 2/10

I couldn't tell who your assigned idol was, it just seemed like a mix of a bunch of Stray Kids members, as well as the fact that there were multiple idols in your pfp and signatures. Besides that, no matching elements, but i think there was a bit of visual coordination in the sense that you both had rather meme-y pfps. Still, didn't really seem like you were in a team.

MK3AM

Aesthetic: 7/10

Role interpretation: 6/10

awww your SKZ siggggiiee is adorable, again the guild emblems threw me off a tad, however unlike your teammate, you didn't match the theme with your badges. so I have to take off points.

oikalli

Aesthetic: 8/10

Role interpretation: 8/10

the avocado has me dying laughing, thank you for that. The only thing detracting for me is your ONCE guild emblem still being there but the rest looks awesome. I like that you stuck to the green but also tried to do something unique and a beautiful nature aesthetic.

MK3AM + oikalli

Coordination: 5/10

I feel badges could've been handled better and you both used different idols.

ellenote & Catgirl

Total score: 103/150

Score breakdown and judges' commentary:

ellenote

Aesthetic: 9/10

Role interpretation: 7/10

Thematically the signature feels slightly mismatched from the rest, but overall the aesthetic is super pretty. The use of some of the Valentine's badges was clever.

Catgirl

Aesthetic: 6/10

Role interpretation: 6/10

Unfortunately you don't seem to have gotten your signature completed, but at least it's green. I'm also missing a sense of general Grinchiness or holiday vibes, but visually the aesthetic is nice to look at.

ellenote + Catgirl

Coordination: 3/10

I would've liked to see more coordinated elements. It feels like you're just two people who like the same idol instead of actual teammates.

---

ellenote

Aesthetic: 7/10

Role interpretation: 6/10

Although you had tons of red and had a general cheery vibe, you had some Valentines badges. These are red, yes, but it doesn't really match the holiday theme. Additionally, there's a similar problem with the signature--it sure is red, but it's not festive. Besides that, good look overall!

Catgirl

Aesthetic: 6/10

Role interpretation: 6/10

Overall, everything looks aesthetically pleasing. However, the unfinished signature does dock a hefty amount of points, and I feel like your pfp didn't quite exude a grinchy look as much as I'd like. You seemed to look more green than grinch.

ellenote + Catgirl

Coordination: 3/10

I didn't really see much coordination here. The two aesthetics were vastly different, the only similarity is the idol!

ellenote

Aesthetic: 9/10

Role interpretation: 10/10

you did what I was expecting from Cat, your text in your signature is a little misaligned on my browser but that's no biggie! I loved you whipping out the old heart lollipop badges.

Catgirl

Aesthetic: 5/10

Role interpretation: 10/10

I have seen you do much better on themes, I was expecting an adorable new jeans holiday theme but instead you tried to play it really safe, and in this case it cost you honey.

ellenote + Catgirl

Coordination: 10/10

xx-jenn-xx & HwaGoose

Total score: 133/150

Score breakdown and judges' commentary:

xx-jenn-xx

Aesthetic: 8/10

Role interpretation: 10/10

I wish the colors were a little more harmonious, but overall it's a good aesthetic. It feels very festive and nice to see around on the forum.

HwaGoose

Aesthetic: 7/10

Role interpretation: 10/10

Love the mischievous grin Grinch-hwa has, and the bold use of color really makes the aesthetic stand out when you're scrolling down the page.

xx-jenn-xx + HwaGoose

Coordination: 7/10

Even though one of you has AllKill and one doesn't, I can see clearly that you tried to match each other in multiple ways. Very cute.

---

xx-jenn-xx

Aesthetic: 9/10

Role interpretation: 10/10

The only thing really keeping me from giving you a full 10 on aesthetic category is that the placement of the signature elements feel a bit disorganized. Besides that, perfect!

HwaGoose

Aesthetic: 8/10

Role interpretation: 10/10

Seonghwa just looks so mischevious in your signature and pfp, I love it. Only drawback is that, like jenn, your signature doesn't seem to be organized well.

xx-jenn-xx + HwaGoose

Coordination: 9/10

I liked the matching badge number/pattern and both of you having merry christmas in your signature. Great job coordinating between allkill & non allkill!

xx-jenn-xx

Aesthetic: 9/10

Role interpretation: 10/10

I actually really like yours, it probably helps you used one of my favorite idols but no seriously everything matches so well. You did very well at meeting the Santa requirement.

HwaGoose

Aesthetic: 7/10

Role interpretation: 9/10

I feel like it was a little simple but Seonghwa is staring through my soul so I gotta give points for that .

All results are out, this thread is available to be posted in now!

Quote from xx-jenn-xx

so for the custom color does goose choose 1 color and I choose another and that becomes the new stuff??

Also there's no le or static badges I want so I'm good but I think I'll redeem for a custom badge.

Yes, both of you choose your own color for your custom stuff, but for the new gradients those colors you choose will be combined, so I suggest working together to find some colors your like that work well together!

If you don't want an LE or static badge you don't have to claim that prize! For the custom badge, that is one of the options an allkill winner can choose--the other option being a custom emblem, so choose wisely

Quote from Ves

Meaning that you can help choose/design the NEXT allkill emblem with me if you choose this option

Oops, sorry! My brain is a little backwards, I mixed up some words. Thank you for correcting me
