Hi guys! We've been steadily judging, but it is the holidays so there was more of a wait than anyone would have liked. We have come to a decision, however, and have an announcement on top of it.
The winner is draumr!
You brought something completely new to the table and didn't attempt to relate it to the other family's occupations except to include their reactions and relationships as a result. The idea of a single reincarnation, and one with such and short life and gruesome end, adds an entirely new dynamic to the family that we don't have implemented beforehand. I've skyped you as well, and we're both happy to add you to the family! All art in this competition now belongs to you/us.
Honorable mention to momotarou for her lovely idea and organization, we only wished we could have seen more explanation to the events of his life!
Additionally, Twin #1 has been extended. Read below if interested.
With only two finished forms, we did not feel that it was appropriate to judge it as there were factors that we were looking for and couldn't seem to come to a decision on. The contest is extended to January 15th, and anyone who has entered in this and lost is welcome to re-enter their idea, or start over, with Twin #1. Art is not necessary given the shorter time frame, we are more concerned in being impressed with originality and character.
Because of the shorter time to do things in, we are sweetening the extension for everyone.
Each person is allowed to pm one of us for one critique on their form.
This critique is only highlighting the things that would take off if we were judging.
We are not allowed to give/you must not request specifics on how to make your form better. You are just supposed to take what we have said about what lessens your chances and goes from there. We're not interested in spoon-feeding you guys what we're looking for, as all we want is to be impressed. I am more readily available to give criticisms than Vaughn is. You may only have one; additional questions asked about the family, especially as you are now expected to include the relationship with draumr's twin, are welcomed, but no further requests past a singular critique.
We wish you luck, and thank you for participating!
