People are overly picky when it comes to prize selections in contest-
especially in ratio to effort they have to put into an entry.
Not a lot of people get much luck on getting participents unless they have a really great prize with high value/demand and aren't asking for much in an entry.
It is certainly disheartening for a contest holder- but I find I join contests for the fun of it rather than the prizes.
If I see something I'd like to draw or get an idea on a design, I jump in and join.
Which was definitely the case here~
I had a lot of fun drawing the adopts. Especially the tails!
