Re: Kalon #1100 — Pastel Peacock (Final Round JUDGING)

The time has come! I know this has taken a little long but it's been a really tough decision.
I enlisted the help of some guest judges in order to eliminate bias, receive different opinions, and choose a winner.
Those who helped me are the trial moderators Dolly and eunkyung. and I thank them greatly for their help <3

To start I want to mention that every form that made it past round one will be receiving an HM for their efforts.
A complete list of those receiving the Honorable Mention is as follows:
Peachpie1164, elf_of_the_hollow, néktar
junebug. , Scarlet_Wolf, .kaede, The Royal Mirage,
Schnuffel Bunny, ๔คเรץ❀ฬђเรкєгร, tooru, Fernathy,
Mid-life, snart, _silentsiren_, Unleashed Squid, eli ayase


Now as I said it was really tough to come up with a winner here. I went back and forth in it a lot and listened closely
to the recommendations of my guest judges. They each gave me amazing details about what they thought about certain
forms. So without further hesitation I would like to congratulate the winner of this competition...


Winner: iBrevity
We each enjoyed the writing you so carefully crafted as it was captivating to the core. It flowed nicely with a
good development to each prompt. The concept chosen felt unique in its own way with purpose imbued into the
paragraphs. eunkyung called it lyrical and styalized but with a clear message and nice decorative touches. Dolly
enjoyed your take on Sefina's reputation and connection to nature. We felt you truly deserved this win, and
congratulate you on your efforts.



In addition, I would like to offer an Runner Up to this competition. They unfortunately cannot be a Legendary
Kalon, but will still retain the same traits as the original up to Rare. However, the winner of this design will
have the choice to add one additional Rare trait of their choosing to make it personal to them. The lovely
naumachy has offered to step up to make this RU design on official lines to be finished under this cover.
So this design will go to...


Runner Up: Kyar
I felt your efforts here deserved recognition to form this character you've created. I feel like the ideas
here had great potential with a good flow and just as captivating. Dolly found herself invested and was curious
as to what's to come for Idellia. eunkyung noted the defining descriptions that felt like with perhaps more time
could truly be something even more incredible. I wanted to offer you this chance to take it further. When you
have the time please message me about your chosen additional Rare edit so that I may pass it on to the artist
for the making of the design.


Once again thank you to everyone who entered this competition. Every milestone that passes for this species
brings together more amazing individuals with beautiful and unique character concepts to share. We truly
want to wish every community member well in future competitions. Stay positive, stay amazing.

    many, many congratulations to iBrevity !! your form was really good, so i can totally understand where Karmel and her guest judges were coming from. of course, there were so many good forms that this decision must've been really hard to make, and the fact that an RU was rewarded really meant that the competition was tight. i'm really happy with my HM and even making it past the first round. again, congratulations to everyone else who won HMs - they were well deserved. well done, everyone !!

I'm honestly in shock right now - I saw this on mobile and I of course scrolled right down to the winner - a fantastic and oh so deserved win. Congrats iBrevity! Your form had incredible character development and was so enchanting to read - I'm so so exited for you and I can't wait to see her around!

Another major congrats to the other 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round competitors!! You've all done incredible - honestly. It's so amazing to see all the ideas that this community can generate. And the writing and art skills are mind-boggling!

Of course after I saw the winner I started skimming HMs - at which point I got very very confused until I had the good sense to scroll down and see the rest of the post - and let's just say I nearly had a heart attack. I'm absolutely delighted to be able to bring Idellia to life and I can't thank all the judges enough for giving me this opportunity!! I'll be so happy to get to share all the ideas for her story that didn't get revealed in my form - lol.

No but seriously - this is a massive honor and I can't express my gratitude enough. Thank you all so so much for the fantastic experience and the honor of this RU!! A huge shout out to nau as well for stepping up to take this on - you're incredibly kind and I can't thank you enough!!!
Have a good day y'all.
Please contact me here or on TH - I will no longer be using Discord!
