How is Kalons Adopts special to you:

Though this does not shed much positive light on me... Here goes nothing.

I am someone who is very passive; always looking for that outside source of inspiration or my "next big motivator" whether that be in people or things. Long story cut real short... it's a terrible way to live and something that I have been acutely aware of and actively trying to change.
I'd like to think that I am capable of setting realistic goals but the fact is that I will fail miserably at even the most intricately and detailed of plans, due to the inconsistency in my work ethic.
I have never had a long-term mentor (aside from mandatory schooling) due to this reason and even when I wanted to pursue art at a higher level (in comparison to the current me who just "farts" around when it comes to art, drawing whatever, whenever) I held back because I knew this disgustingly persistent facet of myself all too well.
However, through sheer trial and error, I have realized that if there was even a cure at all for this nauseatingly "third-world-problemesque" disease that plagues me then it would be have to exist in some community setting.
That, even though I may not be the most social person (scratch that I am not social at all... ;;;), I benefit greatly from (and in turn will try my very best to contribute the same amount to) immersing myself in a proactive and driven group of individuals. I think the Kalon community exemplifies that very cure I have sought after for so long. A band of passionate, encouraging, artistic and synergistic energies, one that attracts as well as, well, intimidates?
Though my reason may not be very special at all, heck, it might even be just purely a selfish reason, I felt like I should come clean with my intentions. I really feel as though this question is truly important for me to answer truthfully and honestly I'd really love to get the opportunity to contribute to this amazing group.

Give a shout out to a fellow community or staff member for the species: (can be more than one if you desire, and give a specific reason why you're recognizing them)

The very first Kalon I laid eyes on was one designed by high noon and honestly, the artistry, professionalism and parent-like care that went into that design was truly outstanding.
It was evident to me from the designers that this species employed that this was more than just a casual adopt on an artistic site. I saw in them, in the artists, and in high noon especially, something I've been seeking for myself all this time; passion.
There was no violent "competitiveness" between the creators, rather I could feel the camaraderie, friendship, support and mutual respect as an outsider however the designs that I saw only improved and matured...
It went against everything that I've been led to believe, that competition would breed success and that comparison would be the fastest route to the top. More than anything I would like to change my outsider status. This community, these creators, the creations; I am drawn to everything about Kalons and hope that one day I can be more than just an admirer. ^^

      kalon adopts are special because --
      im a sucker for making up characters,
      and kalon prompts end up giving me excellent ideas for characters.
      even ideas/kalons that i don't end up winning tend to stay with me for months and months;
      until i can find another use for them elsewhere.

      shoutout --
      @sphynx -- its been a while but that valentine event we both did was tons of fun. makes me regret how little i participate socially in the kalons species.
      @high noon -- old news; but i'm glad to see u back on the staff team, i hated seeing u quit that one-time cause u seemed like such a genuine person.
      @nektar -- u seem like an approachable and kind mod, as well as generally helpful. nice.

There is just something about them that I love. They and the community just have a welcoming glow. Not to mention I adore everyone's creativity when it comes to kals.

Give a shout out to a fellow community or staff member for the species:
@High Noon/Red-- man...I don't know how you do it. You are amazing. After trying to run my own adopts/be an artist for another species I see how much work you put into this. I could say this for most of the kalon staff as well. But I just really like your art style and you seem like an awesome person.

How is Kalons Adopts special to you: Ever since I've joined kalons I've had a lot of fun interacting with the community and entering adopts. It's helped a lot with my creative motivation, as prior to joining I wasn't really drawing much for myself or for fun. I've met a lot of new people and I really love the characters I've made <3

    Medd
    Your so fun to talk to! Your always kind and funny and god I wish that were me getting those kits from those beautiful batches you make. All your designs are so elegant, yet have some sort of simplicity to it which I rlly dig

    Wow okay where do I start. First of all... you so much work for kalons and your own self??

I live for your nursery batches whihj I can never catch a slot lol and I appreciate you doing such a good job on them and even opening your slots at a time where a lot of people are active and my respect for you is beyond belief?? Your style is super unique and i love your art and your 'painting?' style,, the cover art for this event is just gorgeous wow

        How is Kalons Adopts special to you: the community has always been so incredible, in my experience. I've been here since January last year and so far it's been wonderful. It's helped me branch out with character creation and has given me so many kiddos who I absolutely love <3

      How is Kalons Adopts special to you:

      this is the first closed species i participated in! for a while i was eyeing the adopt community kind of curious but confused... also i never had the money to purchase off-cs species so when i discovered there were really nice and well designed adopts i could compete for i was excited to join! adopt comps give me something to do in my free time that's enjoyable and forces me to stretch my brain creatively and i love having prompts that help give me inspiration for characters ideas i can repurpose in my aus and writing!

      Give a shout out to a fellow community or staff member for the species:

      skdjsg this is basically going to be a rehash of all the fortunes i sent during the last event so i'm gonna keep these rly short and sweet (plus some bonus ones i didnt include before):

      tigressa - OC HEADCANONS!!!! THE ONES THAT HURT MY SOUL in a good way.............YES! DESIGNS!!! WONDERFUL!! DESERVES LOVE AND SUPPORT ALWAYS... pls take care of urself ok... WE CARE ABOUT YOU

      riddlestyx - AMAZING CONCEPTS N FORMS + AMAZING DESIGNS AS WELLL??? how can u be so many good things at once. tell me ur seccret

      watchdog - WE JUST STARTED TALKING RECENTLY AND TBH MAN UR RLY COOL,,, i gotta hit u up with hcs BUT MAN PLS FEEL FREE TO @ ME ABT STUFF ANY TIME!! also i cant shoutout to dog without mentioning ur wonderful to-die-for designs,....

      trans - I NEVER SENT A FORTUNE TO U BC I GOT RLY BURNT OUT W FORTUNES SGDLG BUT UR SWEET AND WONDERFUL PLS KEEP BEING U

      rainichi - old man young shoulders, v chill, v chill 2 talk to ... its weird that despite us both being p into kals we almost never talk abt them together bc we just end up talking abt other things LOL
