Attractive Design Contest! (Kitty)

Honestly, I'm blown away by pretty much all of the entries that were submitted and it was so hard to narrow it down to the final few. Many of the entries fit the natural theme perfectly, and many seemed a bit more exotic/unnatural but still managed to be beautiful in their own right. I can't say I disliked any of the designs!

However, in the end, this was the one design I kept coming back to out of the shortlist, and the one that just makes me take a breath when I see it:

The design itself is so soft and gentle, and natural in that it reminds me of a silver tabby cat. The overall mood of the design is relaxing and I especially like the gentle pink undertones. Overall, rubeofkubic (#105208)'s lovely design is the one that I feel best fits me, and I can't wait to wear it on my king (or queen, rather!)

After struggling a bit, I managed to narrow down a further three runners up:

TotallyAnime (#78155)'s Design
A lovely design with a soft, smoky feeling, and those mint eyes to just finish it off nicely.

angel (#89592)'s Design
Pretty gorgeous overall - lovely natural color use, with eyes that both blend in and stand out at the same time, and soft blending of the whites, browns and creams. Everything about this design is nice!

caph (#107536)'s Design
Again, a lovely soft and natural looking design, particularly for a Leopon, as this reminds me of a snow leopard. The little white speckling look like snow sprinkles, making this design feel very wintery.

Ugly Design Contest! (Abbey)

Most of these entries are ugly in their own way, a handful I actually quite like. There were only one or two that made me stare in stunned silence for a few seconds.

The early pages of entries were hilarious as we realised green base would definitely be a theme. By about pages 26-35 I had steeled myself to the ugly, it then became a case of "Would I be happy for this on my king? No? On the doc it goes." Towards the end, I realised this is a pretty good testament to Xylax's art skills that it's very difficult to come up with a truly repulsive combination of base/markings/etc.

After 21 pages of saved entries my computer started to struggle and I realised I had to be ruthless.

One of the few that made me drop my jaw when I looked was this:

Apparently it's very easy to decide that you don't like something, so a lot of designs could have ended up in runners up, but I have had to narrow it down to designs that literally made my lip curl in revulsion:

by Lady Van (#155540)
by Sheycra (#90907)
by Tukoba (#164805)


Prizes will be on their way to you ASAP!

Thank you to everyone who entered, we all had a good laugh at some of the ugly entries, and we're impressed at what can be created with a little bit of design flair!

We hope you have a very Merry Christmas! And Happy Holidays to those who celebrate otherwise

Congratulations to the winners and thank you Kitty and Abbey for the chance to really test our design skills in a fun and competitive way. I really enjoyed designing my entry and I think I might work towards actually getting it as a king or maybe a pridemate.

Congrats to all of the winners!






I have to be honest. The only reason I'm not salty about not winning anything is that I didn't end up entering...



Still, congratulations once again to the winners. The designs were all beautiful (and ugly).
