Perfect Pair design contest! Results!

Post by Sushidragon »

At last, here's our Perfect Pairs :D Congrats to Jaes and CosmicDragon! Cosmic was our random winner (although they do look awesome together!) and Jaes was my pick :D I love how his colors contrast with the mare's and she included a cute little story that sealed the deal!

--

Looking for the right partner can be a long and difficult process, but so worth it in the end! Why don't we help out some Samanayrs who haven't yet found their ideal mate? With all of the single Sams in the area for the Festival we're bound to find someone for everyone!

Your task is to design a mate for a single mare or stallion that you own, or for a single Sam that you've borrowed (with permission) from someone else! The new Samanayr will be drawn to be interacting with the existing Sam, and their cert will be changed to the pair cert :D Here’s one of the winners from last time!
Image
The two Sams will be required to start a Song together, but it's up to the owner(s) to decide whether to make it a pair Song or open the Song up to other mares.

I'll be picking one or two entries based on creativity, uniqueness, overall aesthetic appeal, and compatability with the existing Samanayr. This doesn't mean they have to be all matchy-matchy, but try to come up with a Sam that you thiink would make interesting foals with its mate!

I'll also be picking one entry randomly :D
General rules and info
- There is a limit of one entry per person.
- Please enter on PI or the Sam forum, not both places.
- If you don't have any single Samanayrs you'd like to enter, you can enter using a single Sam owned by someone else with their permission. If you win they'll own the original Sam and you'll own the new Sam.
- The owner of the stallion is responsible for setting up the new Song.
- Only Samanayrs not in a Song can enter.
Design rules and info
- Any species except Mystery, Healer, Rider, or Elemental can be used.
- Since there's no roleplaying involved in this contest the pair need to be of compatible species, so no Mystic with a Misery, etc. You can see if the species you're interested in using has any breeding restrictions on the species page - http://samanayrs.net/species.php
- Any traits except 'unique' or species-specific are allowed!
- Samanayrs are very small, so when designing please keep in mind that it can be difficult for me to do very small or detailed markings.
- Since Samanayrs are hand-colored it can be difficult for me to match up the exact colors, but I'll try my best!
- Your entry can be written, drawn, or a combination of both. You won't be judged on the quality of writing or drawing, just on the design itself. Visual aids are most appreciated, particularly for detailed markings and that kind of thing.
- Entries can be as detailed or vague as you'd like, but please be sure to fill out all of the info on the form as a bare minimum.
Prizes!
I'll be picking 1 or 2 entries based on the design and 1 other entry will be picked randomly. Each winning entry will result in a new Samanayr who will be certed with the original Samanayr!

All entrants will receive a random tradeable item :D
How to enter
Please send me a PM with the subject Looking for love with the following form filled out (single Samanayr ID is the ID number of the Sam that already exists):

Username:
Single Samanayr ID:
If you don't own the single Sam do you have permission to borrow them for this contest?

New Samanayr name:
Gender:
Species:
Traits:
Markings and colors:
Personality:
Accessories (if any):
Other relevant info (if any):


This will be open until May 25, 1pm PDT/20:00 PI time. Good luck!

If you have Sams you'd be willing to volunteer for other people to use, please post here and/or on the thread on PI!

The winners have been chosen and I started working on them today! They'll be done before the end of the Spring Fling for sure so the owners will get credit for them ;D I'm going to try streaming while I work on them on Friday, I would tomorrow but Mr Sushi is out of town.
