OKAYSO I was the National Harbor this weekend and I saw a huge banner for Cirque du Soleil's show called Kooza which I guess will be around in October BUTANYWAY the banner was so awesome and the colors were too cool for school. I loooove their performances and it would be sooo cool to have a line of Cirque inspired sets for the Forest, yes? Like based off their costumes/theme/colors or whatever. I have no idea if M & A would ever use any ideas as actual sets, but it's fun to imagine them anyway. C:
SO I AM HOLDING A CONTEST.
Rules
It's simple, really. Create a full Forest set based off of any one of Cirque du Soleil's shows!
You can use color schemes, patterns, designs, textures, materials, whatever from looking through the content of their shows/costumes/advertising/design. Having fun yet?!! xD
Keep this in mind: I am not looking mainly for artistic ability, I will look mostly for creativity in the design itself. But, your idea should be clearly portrayed.
Please submit your entry to the Pictures section of this site, and link to it in the comments on this blog in case I have a lapse of stupidity and miss it entirely. xD
When you submit your entry, include links to images of whatever material you were inspired by so everyone can see it.
The deadline is fast approaching, and there's still only one submission. :<
The due date is Friday, June 30th by midnight. (subject to change)
Prizes
The 1st place winner will receive a full body digital drawing of their deer!
The runner up will receive a full body pencil drawing of their deer!
Exclamation pointsss!!

My local Cirque is La Nouba, and I've seen it.. twice, I think, but both rather long ago. Still.
Omigod THIS.
Edit: That picture's from the La Nouba website; here's the blurb next to it.
The green bird
She has escaped her cage, and desperately wants to fly. But she can't fly away and join the circus, because she is too awkward. She remains trapped in the urban world like a marionette with tangled strings.
