The SCAA - Officially Closed!

[ubiquitous]

Thanks Pix. And do you think it would be better for me to change all the text to blue?

[Solanum]

It really depends. If you'd still like to keep the effect you've tried to create then perhaps just choose a slightly darker version of the colour, or one a little less similar to the background colour of all CS text xD You don't have to make it all the same colour, but it needs to be legible ^^

As I've finished the other crit, I'll probably do yours, although that really depends on whether I can put pen to paper, figuratively speaking, and write something for my own form xD

[Skittlelicious]

Alrighty! ^^

.....Background/History:
The volunteer at the animal shelter hummed as he prepared to lock the door, but he jumped as barks and yowls and many other sounds erupted from the back of the shelter. Sighing, he walked back in to see what was wrong, but everything seemed normal. Must be the weather, he thought. Humming again, he turned around and left the animals, locking the door behind him and leaving for the night.
If he had paid more attention and looked up, he would have seen a light grey cat sitting on the top of a tall cabinet, her tail flicking nervously, pale grey eyes darting around the room. Earlier that day, as he opened her cage door, she followed his hands carefully, making sure she’d be able to mimic the same motion that night. And she managed it.
The door had swung open, and she leapt out with ease, but she did not expect the other animals to cause such a commotion.
The cat, named Aello, jumped down from the cabinet and onto a window ledge where the small window was left propped open. It was there to keep the air fresh in the shelter, as it often got hot and muggy in the back.
Squeezing through, she bounded outside and landed in a dark alleyway, shoved in a small corner of the huge city. It was already past midnight, and lights illuminated streets, but on this one alleyway, not a single light shone.
Shadows danced as Aello prowled around, happy for freedom. Gleefully bouncing on her toes, she jumped on top of a trashcan, but found that another tom cat, an extremely mean tom cat, already occupied it and was in the middle of a meal. Snarling, he snapped his head in her direction, staring at her with one eye, the other scratched and torn. Shaking, she backed away and huddled in a pile of cardboard, wishing it was daylight again.
She had left the animal shelter with the fear of death always lurking around the corner, and had put herself in the middle of death its self. Aello came from the streets, but from a much nicer part of the city. Now, she was stuck in the dirtiest, meanest area, where fending for her life was the number one priority.
Finally closing her eyes, she slept fitfully on the cardboard while the sun finally crept over the rugged city skyline. That morning, Aello went through nearly 10 trash cans, all of which were already taken by another street cat, or was over flowing with mice. Finally she settled on a thrown out sandwich left in the gutter, which she told herself, ‘was better than none.’
Lunch was no better, the time when the dogs woke as well, and most of them were twice her size. They were even more brutal than the cats, and would snap your neck off if you weren’t careful. She went through that day without lunch, but around the evening, she suddenly found a large hunk of uneaten meat left in a wrapper. She hungrily attacked it, but as she was eating, she felt like someone was watching her.
She returned to the same alleyway with the cardboard in the corner, and settled down for the night. She fell asleep on a much fuller stomach than the night before, and slept much better as well.
As Aello groggily opened her eyes, she squeaked in surprise. Sitting on her chest was a large, black raven, with startling dark, grey blue eyes. He was odd, not pure black, but had grey blue streaks on the tips of his wings. He had his head tilted in one direction, staring straight into her eyes.
Pushing him off her chest, Aello rolled into a sitting position and stretched, arching her back. The raven cawed, and tried to copy her, dipping his head down and spreading his tail. Laughing, Aello batted at the raven, who buffed her back with his wing.
Throughout the day, the raven stayed with Aello, perching on her shoulder or head, and sometimes on her back. When they met another cat, he would flap his wings, and most of the time, the other cat would back off. That night at sundown, Aello dubbed the raven Qyx, because she had no better name for him. The raven only tilted his head, which didn't tell Aello anything, but it was enough for her to determine that he agreed with the name.
The next few weeks went by quickly as Aello and Qyx explored the city. Sometimes they leaped from balconies, other times they ambled on the ground. They became close friends, content during the day with the many sights and smells. The city soon became natural to them, and they happily lived in the bustling metropolis.

.....Use:
I've always loved feline characters, and I couldn't help but drool over this elegant design. It is natural, yet the
markings flow with beauty unseen on the felines of our world. I would love to keep her and love her as a charrie, and draw
her beautiful design as many times possible. She'd be a separate character from my main four, and would be loved in her own
special way.

.....Other:
Nothing much to say, but thank you! Good luck to everyone else looking to adopt her.
