CONTESTS WHAT

Pets

LOL 3 WEEKS.

I know, it's okay, i'm a horrible person.

Going to start the results off with the May 2010 Design Contest.

These are your top three winners! The creators will receive their custom along with 2sp each.

Here's what a few judges had to say about these customs, respectively.

"This Orimi was just amazing. the detail in it shocked me. It really looks like a peacock and the colors are amazing. Very realistic for a bird on a fox base."

"Everything about this Insi is beautiful. I love the wolf fur pattern, it's done expertly. You can tell it's a wolf without any edits needed. It was my favorite!."

"This thing is just absolutely stunning! If I could I would steal it for myself! You can tell an awful lot of time, effort and detail has gone into it and the colours compliment each other and work well together."

We also have our 5 honorable mentions who will each receive 2 sp as well.

So congratulations to everyone! There were so many wonderful entries, I wish everyone could have won. As usual, I can't wait to see the next round. :]

OKAY FINALLY. WRITING CONTEST RESULTS. I will definitely not be doing this again, rofl. It will probably be something shorter and more simple, mostly easier to judge. I learned a lot hosting this contest. If you have any feedback for how it was run (not counting the time involved so please don't comment on that) feel free to let me know here. I want to know any changes you think I should make and any ideas you might have for the next contest. I was thinking maybe a poem for July.

First place! Vettieboo #105 entry

"Although The Vyne Brothers has a relatively simple plot, the story is a nice snapshot of the lives of three dragons; it does not merely give exposition or lead up to a climax that never comes, but instead offers a short, succinct tale of one event. The most standout quality of this piece, however, is the characters. All three vynes were given a nice amount of attention, making them very memorable. The names and personalities of these vynes left a lasting impression on me because of how well developed/characterized they were and how much they interacted with one another."

Second place! Flying Toast #4822 entry

"The story to this was bittersweet and emotional, which is a strong accomplishment for a story without dialogue. The reader feels strong sympathy for the desperate mother, especially as the young children seem on the verge of giving up. The cliffhanger ending is both cruel and interesting, leaving the reader to decide for him or herself the fate of the poor family."

Third place! Prelude #4532 entry

"This piece successfully illustrates a present series of events while nodding to the characters' backstories. The characters and plot alike are interesting, insightful and well developed and the story continuously moves forward, keeping the reader attentive and guessing what will happen next. The only real drawback to this piece is that the third vyne plays more of a supporting role rather than a main one, so it does not get much character development or interaction time, but it is a nice link between the two other vynes."

Our three honorable mentions are Skitty #543, Mel and Zane #351, and last but not least Whispers #112~!

I will contact winners for both contests shortly to redeem their prizes. :>

I'd also like to take this time to mention that as usual, we are still hiring for both LBC and BC artists! Frey and I have discussed payment and artists will be receiving another pay raise. They will now get 5gp per hybrid offspring and 3gp per same species offspring. With the next BC release starting on July 1st and the new hybrid being released we encourage you to apply for a position. Requests for applications should be sent to [email protected]. If you have any questions, please contact Frey #90.

And that's all for now guys. Sorry for the wait, things have been hectic around here lately!
