I'm sorry, but with internet so scarce here, I can't extend this or I might end up not being able to judge for a week or so ;v;

Judging has now begun and winners will be announced within an hour or so :'3
Good luck!
It will be a tough one ;o;

[Fantasy Inc.]

[wind song]

Sorry for the unexpected quick judging,
I bet most of you are asleep right now,
Anyways, why do you guys have to make judging so hard? Grrr xD
Though I was a little disappointed that no one went completely ''out there'' when it came to the extras and did pretty ''safe'' ones instead, not to say I didn't enjoy the two forms that had beautiful singing in them!, well done girls, by the way <3

After spending way too long tearing myself apart when it came to choosing between Vellamore and Spottedsong,
I am finally announcing that the winner is...
Vellamore!
I really really enjoyed your form from the moment you posted your wip, as with all your beautiful try-outs!
I guess I'm a sucker for more literal forms, and I loved the 'flaws' section, they made me smile, laugh and relate.
While his hobby was unique and adorable too n-n
The personality unfolded beautifully in that short form, and I hope you take care of your little autumn boy C;
Well done!

Also Spottedsong, I feel that your effort and beautiful ideas in the form are hard to ignore,
I loved your form a lot and while I promised myself not to do this, asfhjjklkjhgf I am awarding you a runner-up,
I hope it's okay I design her/him when I get back in 4-5 days, as it's much easier than on a laptop orz,
And I hope you like the new Clare just as much as this beauty n-n
Thank you for your gorgeous form!

Some other forms I loved belonged to:
PsiKenzie, BavarianSoul, Gummi-chan. FennecFox, Summer <3, Zinovi and Maydoll!


Well done everyone, srsly p:
I never expected such a turn-out for such a simple kia! :B

Username: Vellamore

Kia's name: I've decided that if I were to win, I'd name this guy Bridger. It's a name of English origin with no real meaning other than "builder of bridges," but that isn't why I chose it. I thought it sounded very simple and easy, but at the same time, elegant. I think such a name suits his design well, and goes perfectly with the type of personality I envision for him!


Hobby: Bridger's main hobby is collecting leaves. Of course, leaves don't last forever, so he has his own unique way of collecting them. Instead of keeping the actual leaf, Bridger will gather up a pile of leaves he likes, and either draw them, paint them, or photograph them so he can preserve them forever the way they are right now. As you can assume, his favorite season is autumn, when all the trees shed their leaves and explode in what he would describe as "an extravagant display of color and change." He is absolutely astounded by all the different possibilities of colors the leaves can become, and will sit for hours marveling at the day's additions to his collection. Sometimes, Bridger will tie a few particularly gorgeous leaves on the end of his tail, or stick them in his hair, but he only tends to keep them for a day or two before replacing them, as their colors begin to change and they start to crumble.

Flaws: I thought this would be an interesting category to do-- it isn't quite a personality, but it does show a little bit of who he is in my mind!
⚫ Bridger tends to be quite absent-minded. Any number of distractions can take over his thoughts at any time, and cause him to have difficulty focusing on one thing for very long. The short attention span he had as a child hasn't grown to maintain a larger capacity, the way it has in the others of his kind. This tends to be slightly off-putting to anyone who tries to talk with him, and results in him being by himself most of the time.
⚫ He is also known to be cowardly at times. Bugs in particular have always bothered him; he doesn't like the sound or feeling of squishing them, but is equally uncomfortable having them touch him or crawl around on him. His technique when faced with a dangerous or frightening situation is to avoid it. This reaction has been the cause of a lot of teasing in his youth which has followed him into adulthood, and also occasionally hinders his ability to pursue the things he enjoys.
⚫ Bridger is always grumpy when he first wakes up. He takes a while to wake up fully, and until that time, he pretty much rolls around in a little grumpy ball of mush and grumbles at everyone and everything. This only really becomes an issue when he is woken up by someone who doesn't know him well, however; they seem to take his rotten attitude personally. He just likes to take his time and get up on his own, though, that's all.

Why I want him: Firstly I figure I should point out that I am a very orderly, pattern-oriented person even with my characters. With Kiamaras in particular, I have a certain theme going. All my Kiamaras have names that begin with the letter B-- So far, I have Blondie and Bluebell. The second part of my theme is that each one represents a different season. Blondie is my winter kiamara. Bluebell is my spring kiamara. If I were to win Bridger, he would be my third, and he would also be my autumn kiamara. I have been on the search for my third kia for a little while now, and I believe this guy could be it! The color palette is gorgeous, and very much reminds me of how the trees around town look toward the end of the fall season, when they begin to turn more golden and brown and lose some of their vibrancy. The simplicity of the design is strikingly handsome as well, and paired with the muted colors, he would be the perfect little autumn kia.

To everyone that tried out and didn't win, don't give up. This was actually the first kia I tried out for. Then during this contest, I tried out for one more and recently lost that. But I hope to win a Kia of my own some day c:
Oh my gosh I need to spend less time on art. I spent like..7 hours just on art for this O_O
