I don't know about you, but I really enjoyed this contest! It's definitely going to have to return sometime in the future :D Thanks so much for your entries!

Here are our perfect pair winners :D I picked amazondreamer's and Pristine's entries based on their designs and compatability with their new mates, and LostDollie is our random winner (although I think they look quite nice together too :D). I hope we'll get to see babies from these pairs sometime soon!

And here's the new Sams together so you can get a look at them without their perfect pairs :D

Congrats!

--

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:
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 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 or two entries 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 and 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 2 entries based on the design and 1 or 2 other entries 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 March 16, 3pm PDT/22:00 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!

If anyone needs a Sam for the design event I can offer my Zest of the Pumpkin Spice. Just please pm me your design before submitting to Sushi -I'd just like the chance to make sure your design jives with my sam's personality and such.

Does this apply to guest artist sams as well?....

There is a sam I have who I specifically kept single for an event like this.....Since it says they will be certed together...I just want to make sure its ok to use a guest drawn sam.... :3 if so will I need their permission? Just dont want to step on feet or make anything difficult. :) IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!

EEEeeeee this is such a neat and awesome idea! Good luck everyone! I wish I had more single sams for this so I could offer em up to others... lol

@RikkuGirl - I think it'd be best to get in touch with the guest artist if they're still around! I have no problem adding to guest artist Sams if it's okay with the artist :D

Looking for Love

The contest is closed and I'm working on narrowing down the entries! They came in pretty steadily over the course of the contest and I hadn't realized just how many there were O_O Unfortunately I'm sick - again - so I'm taking it easy tonight, but I'm hoping to figure out the winners tomorrow and then get drawing! I'll be announcing the winners when the Sams are finished.

Life totally ate me last week, so I didn't get to enter. I'm really excited for the results, though! I always drooling over pairings that seem made for each other, especially when they literally were. x3

Eeeee! OMGOMGOMG! I can't believe I won! Thank you so much Sushi! *flails excitedly* oh gosh Swell is just amazing! The colors, the patterns, the pose... He is just perfect!

Congrats to Pristine and LostDollie as well! Rime's expression is just charming
and I love how his perennial growth reflects his season. Flitter's design is quite unique, and she is just plain adorable!

Yay! Big congratulations to the other winners :D I really love Swell... he's... swell! He looks so fierce! And Flitter's wings are *gorgeous*!

I was very happy with the story I came up with for Rime so I'm really glad you liked it, too, Sushi! I agonized over which Sam to choose for quite a while but the story came to me rather instantly! You drew him so perfectly :D
