Festival of New Spring - design contest - results!

Post by Sushidragon »

Design Contest


Oops, this cute little mare seems to have forgotten to dress up for the festival! Why don't you help her out and come up with some colors that would go well with her feathery floof?
Image
Your task is to come up with a coloration for her. If your design is picked, you'll win her! Hooray! Tradeable items will also be given out to some random entrants :D

Rules
- There is a limit of one entry per person.
- Your design can be written, drawn, or any combination thereof. Reference pictures are wonderful! You're also welcome to color directly on the lineart if you'd like.
- Although I do try to match colors as closely as possible, just remember that I am limited by my pencil crayon palette.
- You can provide a name for the Sam you're entering for, or leave it to me.

To enter the design contest, just send me a PM with the subject Feathery floof and the following filled out:

Username:
Samanayr name (optional):
Design:

This will be open until June 8, 8pm PDT - good luck!

She's so cute! <3

And I think you mean it ends June 8th, not March 8th? ;3

Her traits are: Feather Coat, Earless, Feather Crest, Talons, Wyvern (Feathered), and Feathered Tail :D I'd doodled up a few Sams like this and had been thinking about making a new species out of them, but decided there's already enough as it is for now XD;

I just love this mare's oddball collection of traits. She's so wonderfully awkward and yet elegant at the same time.

I've finished my design but for once I'm completely stumped on a name. I've got no ideas, not one. *pulls out hair*

Maybe I'll get inspired while I sleep. If not I guess I guess I'll just have to send her in unnamed.

Here's the results of the design contest :D There were so many awesome designs, but in the end I went with amazondreamer's entry! I love the contrast of the browns with the blues for the wing and tail feathers, and I hope you'll agree that Murmur came out quite lovely :D Congrats!

So lovely! Your design for her was excellent, amazondreamer. Brown and blue is one of the most awesome color combinations. <3 Sushi, you did a lovely job as always.

Congrats amazondreamer. I love your design, those red browns with that blue are beautiful. I love the darker stripe down the middle of her face, it really makes her eyes stand out.
