i really really loved the moodboard you chose for this tryout. the crystals, the fairy lights, those were a few images that i really personally enjoyed with the moodboard you put together. however, i was a bit disappointed to see there wasn't a guitar anywhere in the moodboard, considering it was her most prized item. i wasn't really sure how your moodboard tied to the character you portrayed, but it's still a pretty moodboard.

the colors you chose for this moodboard are amazing. i can really tell what sort of theme you were going for with this moodboard; a bit of a nature-esque, down to earth individual that loves exploration. the visuals you chose all work together super well for your form, and it's a shame that you left it as a wip because i feel like your form had a lot of potential for some amazing things.

i love the name you chose for your form. the name 'serenity' mixed with the moodboard of 'serene' nature pictures really showed me that you were tying her name together with your moodboard itself. i can tell you put a lot of work and thought into the character you were building with her. an inclusion of a favorite quote was a lovely touch, as was taking the time to touch on how she talked. you did a good job! i would have liked to see maybe some separation of paragraphs (that would have made it easier to read) but altogether, i can tell you worked hard ^^
zailune;;; the art you drew for this was absolutely darling. your art style is
so cute and it matches chowlins wonderfully <3 the moodboard you chose was also a lovely touch; kudos to making it look so unique with the different sizing of the images. i think some of the images you chose (such as the feather, the snakeskin, the inkwell and the bright orange leaves) really hit the nail on the head when it comes to the theme. i would have loved to see some extra writing that clued me in to some of your other choices, such as the snakeskin and the abandoned building.
s-s-sweets;;; your little drawing with the leaf in her mouth is positively adorable. instead of just drawing a headshot, you drew her blepping with a leaf on her tongue and that is simply just, the cutest thing. the moodboard you created has stunning visuals. the colors work well together, the themes work well together, and how you arranged their placement and size really works super well together. finally, the naming ginger works really nice with the moodboard. overall your entry was pretty solid <3
kiffel;;; your moodboard is the one that stuck out to me the most. i couldn't stop thinking about it; the moodboard with the chowlin in the middle and a slight filter was a
brilliant touch to add in. i appreciate the inclusion of the leaf pixels on your form, and i think it's a shame that you left your form as a wip because i would have loved to see this completed. you show a lot of potential. for you, i'm awarding you some
bonus karma.
epiale;;; there is no doubt that you spent a lot of time working on and thinking about this form. i watched as you changed your entry from one art piece, to two art pieces, and i know you worked super hard on both. the imagery you chose for both your extra art pieces and your moodboard all tie together the name and the theme super well. i especially love the star lights, the bed, and the candle by an open book image. lovely moodboard, and a lovely entry <3
imaginary;;; the name you chose was gorgeous. it wasn't a name i was at all expecting for this, but it totally fits and it's totally beautiful. the imagery you chose for your moodboard was unexpected and fun; it was a refreshing new take on the chowlin between the same few themes, and for that, i must commend you. i really wish you would have expanded your planned personality, because i would have loved to see how you tied in the personality to your moodboard.
hlyju;;; the name you chose was cute. it was super nice to see that you planned out your extras, and the few plans you wrote did speak a bit about the character you were planning on building. the only thing i can really say is that i wish you would have expanded that, because i would have loved to see your complete thoughts and ideas!
trixyr;; the usage of black and white imagery was new, and the images you chose for your grayscale moodboard were interesting and different from the rest of them. the addition of the quote 'free as the wind' in the middle was, ironically, a breath of fresh air, and your moodboard worked super well with itself. veronica was a name i really liked for your selection, so, great work
coffeebean,;;; okay, i just have to say i love your form. your art is adorable, the name is A+, and the moodboard i am totally in love with. you really took the name 'Karma' and connected it well with the moodboard with the quote, 'the world is filled with nice people, if you can't find one, be one'. your artwork is adorable, like i just said, but i'd like to say it again. the imagery of the coffee cup with the drawing, and then you drawing her drawing, it was so nice. it really tied everythin together. all in all, i am in love with your entry, so i'm also giving you
bonus karma for your entry.
honey;;; let me just start out by saying i am physically weak for angelic imagery. you were one of the few people that actually touched on the angelic wing markings that i used, and, really, im super impressed. your moodboard is lovely; you've blended a muted palette with pops of gold here and there, which speaks similar to the chowlin in question! your art was super cute, and tying in the crown from your moodboard was also a lovely touch. <3 I really loved your form.
sarabi;;; i am so in love with your form. i am so in love with akela, the chowlin you have written. there's something about lesbians and the fall aesthetic that's just so lovely, and you nailed it all perfectly with your writing. from her personality (which is oh-so-relatable), to the bits of information you used to frame your form (inclusion of a theme song, favorite misc's and other fun things), your form was made beautifully and a ton of time, effort, and thought has been put into both the form, and the character you've made. your form has made judging this super hard, and i could say pretty confidently that if i had to pick someone else (other than who i picked) for the winner, you'd be it. for that, you're getting a
bonus karma for your work
caesou;;; i really love that, for your extra, you chose a poem, rather than something else. it takes some work to make a really meaningful poem, but you nailed it. you nailed it, and between the short but simple poem and the moodboard which is also simple, your form worked super well. you did a great job too.
and now....our winner.
nuggetseb is the winner today.
Your entry is
gorgeous, and it blew my expectations completely out of the water. Before I even get to read what you say, you've crafted this beautiful form holder with these amazing pixels, including the little lights and the stacks of books. The form itself creates an atmosphere that is further accented and complimented by your artwork, moodboard, and the story contained within.
Your moodboard has stunning powerful imagery, the colors popping and calling out to me. You tied in elements from the moodboard into the art piece you created, including the tea lights, bookshelf, coffee, leatherbound book, and more. Lots of attention to detail and mood was given, and it shows throughout the entirety of your form. I'm honestly stunned and in love every time I look at your form.
And then, your extra writing. You tie up everything proposed with the moodboard and the artwork with writing that really sets the mood of a nice, cozy night in with a book, on a cool fall day. The final line of your writing, "ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏᴜɴᴛᴀɪɴs ᴀʀᴇ ᴄᴀʟʟɪɴɢ,
ᴀɴᴅ sʜᴇ ᴍᴜsᴛ ɢᴏ." is the final nail, as you completely nail the entire form by ending it where you begin; the focal point of your moodboard, bearing the exact same quote.
---- Congratulations to the winner, and thank you so much for everyone who entered this competition. All of your effort, beautiful artwork, writing, and moodboards, were very impressive and I am so grateful to have everyone work so hard <3
