Alright guys, here we go! :D
How were going to do this is im going to post rankings for people
and forms -- iShame is going to do half of it, while I do the other
half. c:
We'll be mentioning the pros and cons of your form, and hopefully
help you to improve; because thats what everyone should get help
with, right? Improving. So thats what we will help you dooo. :D

First off, we have PFBD123.
Personality wise? Not quite enough detail. Its pretty short and you could have added small examples in there, or more traits. However, it did fit her well.
2.5/5
Story wise? Its not quite a story; I wouldve read it if it was a book, dear. x3 Its hard to read because its all over the place. But summary wise its very good.
2/5
Art wise? N/A.

Second off, SCULIAX up.
Personality wise? Very will written out, but a little too positive. It doesnt mention any negative traits; try to improve on very small things like this in the future, and itll seem like shes a more realistic and likeable character, so the artist will probably be more attracted to your form if you do so. Keep up with the lovely writing, though!
3.5/5
Story wise? All the aspects were there, which was a very good thing. The writing was also very good. Bones is portrayed as a person, which was very unique, and something no one else did. However, the demented thing was Bones, but it didnt fit in very well. I didnt ever see her as a magician, either, and honestly really couldnt. Overall, though, this was very nice.
4/5
Art wise? I love how you got art from another person; that shows that you did care and you truly did want her. I love the anthro art, and both are very good.
4.5/5

Next up, we have Dakota22.
Personality wise? While it does have more traits, having it written out more or having examples as said before would have been lovely. I didnt exactly see her as determined, brave, cheerful or stubborn, though, and that probably threw me off a lot (my fault, not yours).
2.5/5
Story wise? The reasoning behind the cloth wasnt really mentioned much or explained well, and the man really isnt demented. It doesnt give too much detail as to how her father found a job and worked while he was also selling items. Aside from the missing components, though, this was extremely written and the detail apart from a few parts was extremely good. Keep up with the details!
3/5
Art wise? Very cute, and the art from another person also showed you really cared. cx
4/5

Theres more to come, so dont worry if youre not on here! Winner
will be announced after iShame posts.

{This is so organized guiss. x33}

I just wanted to say, guys, that i had a ton of fun helping to judge this JMD. And if i hadn't been in on judging, i totally would have entered in for myself. So, i envy, a little, the person who won this JMD, and i really expect you to be active with her, maybe even a friend of meh JMD'S. -winkwink- Anyway. I'll get on to what i was told to do. x3

I'll tell you guys this, while i judges these three forms, i based it on mainly the story and personality, on a 1-5 scale. 1 being the worst, 5 being the best. I'm really glad to say, no one scored below a 2, but a little sad that no one scored a 5. but still, everyone put in effort. <3 I suggested adding in the tin can in the beginning, and not many people mentioned it a lot. Some of you guys did, but not as many as i had hoped. I was looking for a story that stuck out with the can. <3


Nutheart
      I liked your form. The format of it was very capturing it, and really simple. It kept my attention as i read the form as well. So well done there. I liked the name too, Sayonara.
      The personality though, well, i liked that too. It was well written out, but i, personally, couldn't see this JMD as someone mean or cold hearted. Just the looks, in my opinion, was more of a kinder JMD. But, i guess i could see a little meanness in their, but still. I did like his it was written out, though.
      The story, I love the detail in it, and the idea with the tin can holding the spirit was pretty good, i will say. I was a little confused on why she trusted the other JMD, Adros so easily though, as he just appeared and started yelling at her. The bones were a good idea, and i liked your idea of how the cloths were possessed. Overall, i was intrigued by the story, but a little confused. I couldn't really find something that was really demented, however, but overall, there was tons of effort in your entry, and i wish you lots of luck in your next competition. <3
        Total score ; ; 7/10.

      Your format was extremely simple, but yet still appealing to the eye, it wasn't hard to read in anyway at all. My first noticeable thing was that her name meaning and personality were almost opposites. That was a little bit of a turn off to my preferences. But for some, an opposing name gives more character, just not for this one. The personality was interesting, but more details would have been great. I would have been much more interested in reading her personality section, if it had explained more about her.
      The story was long, and left me hanging, like a cliff hanger. I was left wondering, i little, about the question at the very beginning of the story. I wanted to know what she was going to the elders to ask about, and they wouldn't tell her about. I loved the idea behind it though, it was very creative. The tin can wasn't really mentioned much, nor were the bones, other than on the elder, witch is fine. The one thing that didn't really help you, was that their wasn't really anything demented in the story. It costed point. Had their been something even better, it would have scared a lot higher. There was a lot of effort in your form, but i was left wondering a little too much in my opinion. But, i loved the idea of a wandering group of JMD's searching for knowledge. I loved that. I also gave an extra point for the cute art.
        Total score ; ; 6/10

mare.
      I really liked the name, to be truthful. I thought it fit a lot with the design. The personality was well written, and i loved the idea of layers hidden beneath a mask. I can't explain how much i liked it. It listed positives and negatives, and made me want to bring in one of my JMD's into a RP with her.
      As beyond birthday. was creating this, and she showed me a WIP of it, we could both see the idea of her being mute, and i personally loved the whole story, and it left me wondering, what if she gets her voice back, would she still keep the clothes, would she find her one love that could bring her voice back. But, it wasn't really demented, the witchdoctor. It was more so weird and unnatural, than demented, but still, i loved it. I wanted to know more, to get to know the character you had created.
        Total score ; ; 8/10

Arachnid!

Your story for him was absoulutley perfect; and I love how you brought little Corwenna in. It had all the aspects (even though some did lack just a bit).
While at first I didnt see him as a male Jewel, it slowly grew on me that he could fit just as well male as female.
I loved how your art blended in perfectly with the story, and how you added it in to help picture it. While I read through the whole story, I didnt even need the pictures to see what you were describing; its written very well, and very pretty.
I loved the format, the art, and everything.
While there were a few flaws here and there, keep up the good work! Congratulations on Calix. I cant wait to read the rest of the story, and cant wait to see him around. <3

Wow that was like the most organized moment of my life.
Mare., I just wanted you to know that over anything else I wouldve killed to give you a RU, but sadly I couldnt. :c I do think a JMD with that backstory wouldve been so interesting and fun to RP with. <3 Shame did fight for you. A ton. x3 -nudges-

Araaa oh my lord xD
That moment of heart attack was probably thw worst feeling inthe world.
Whoops
Sorrynotsorry
BUT YESSSS ENJOY CALIX AND JEEZE HES GONNA GET A LOT OF LOVE I KNOW IT<3

Congrats!

Yeah, I was going to try something where she was a slave and the things bound her to silence, and she was timid because she was a slave, but my muse flopped and I got that instead xD

If its ok, I'd like to keep my art for a couple reasons.
1) Those were some of the first digital art pieces I ever made, and I actually downloaded an app onto my iPod just because of this dragon.
And I kinda don't want to share because my birthdays tomorrow and I'm a selfish little butt like that, lol. Hopefully I'll win somewhere else.
