My entry, Skylla.

Postby SpartanAmethyst » Sat Feb 04, 2012 6:56 am

So I know this might be against the rules, but I've fallen in love with my own entry. I went ahead and gave her the name "Skylla", which in Greek means to "tear and rend". Though the sound of her name fits her, the meaning does not. If it's possible, I would love to keep her whether I win or not. I didn't intend to like her this much, I swear XD So yes, here's my entry.

Why do you want to be an artist?:
These creatures are just gorgeous beings, and I'd love to have the chance to make the designs I have for them in my head. I have a lot of ideas at the moment that would make beautiful pets for someone to enjoy <3

Please explain what the design was and what it is based off of.:
I didn't really base it off of anything, I just made it up as I went. I guess at the end I had Celtic knots and Greek attributes in mind (e.g. the braid that wraps around her entire tail), and I've loved how leopard spots looked, so I experimented with them in the design. The colors were supposed to represent the sky, as the Hane-Shiri are winged creatures, and the green eyes stand out from the rest of it's design.

2 facts about the Hane-Shiri:
& The male Hane-Shiri have bigger horns than the female, whoch they use to fight other males and impress the females during breeding season.
& The female Hane-Shiri have bigger, fluffier tails so that they can keep warm on cold nights, as they have less body heat than the males do.

She is really pretty!
When you ask that, do you mean the design or her as a Hane-Shiri?

Keep her as she is now overall. If I don't win, she'd be my Hane-Shiri custom, and I'll pay for it whenever it comes around~

Mmm, well I have to keep the winnings fair...
I'll have to think about it since if I let you and not the others they might think of it as unfair...
You'll have to let me think about it though.
