First of all a HUGE congrats to all the HM and RU winners, you guys created some INCREDIBLE stories! I wish I could say I read every single one but I've been slowly working my way back through those that I didn't get a chance to read before the winners were announced - and there are some really, really wonderful stories, gorgeous imagery, and fabulous art pieces out there holy cow.
I haven't posted here until now because until now I think I've been... pretty well in shock? I've pulled up this contest page literally every day and just stared at her reference trying to get myself to believe that I actually own her - that this isn't just a dream?
Thank you SO much for this absolutely breathtaking kalon, the artist team behind the whole concept and design did such a fantastic job. All the elements together make for such a vivid and inspiring design and I'm just so so grateful that I actually get to take her home. I have a bad habit of falling into self-doubt and I'll admit almost right away after the contest closed I got so terrified I stopped reading other entries, felt awful about mine - and even stopped thinking about the contest altogether because I was so scared and felt so inadequate next to all these other amazing entries. So to come back and actually win?? My heart nearly burst the further down I scrolled and didn't see my name - I was terrified - but what an absolutely incredible surprise. I spent so much time developing this beginning to Nature's story - and I'm so excited to spend even more continuing the story from where my entry left off!
I also have to give a huge thanks to the artists who helped bring my ideas to life, dilly and tigressa both did such amazing artwork and were so wonderful to work with - I'd absolutely recommend commissioning either one of them if you ever get the chance, they are wonderful people and their talent is breathtaking. :)
I feel like I still haven't thoroughly expressed just how much this means to me, but I wanted to thank all of you who've said such sweet things about my entry and Wicced for choosing my form. I really really can't thank you all enough - your comments mean the world to me and I'm so blessed to be able to develop a kalon I've become so attached to over the last handful of months. I'm still in shock, probably will be for a while - but I'm so so grateful. Thank you SO much.
Have a good day y'all.Please contact me here or on TH - I will no longer be using Discord!
