[Chim]

And good luck Chim in judging #21. It's going to be hard.

Aha, thank you, I have a feeling it'll be challenging. ^-^
I would like to say something though-

Several people have come to me talking about how they feel intimidated or
even threatened to try for this guy/gal, #21, because there apparently seems to be
some hostility running beneath the surface? No names have been dropped but, guys,
please, take it easy. I don't think anyone should feel discouraged to try for a mako. I
never said that the best writing or the most art was key. I never said I even cared for
either of those things, or whether I honestly looked too close at them. My apologies, but,
As an individual, I value character ideas, strength, and execution of those ideas, not how
pretty you make something. Originality trumps all the art and fancy coding in the world-
and I'm not just saying that for effect. Chill it down. You wouldn't want to be out off
trying something, So don't do it to others. I:

I do not tolerate purposeful bullying, discouragement, or intimidation. Anyone doing that
purposefully, or trying to discourage others, please knock it off. If i see you doing it,
ill call you on it. No matter who you are. Not to make myself sound terrible, but I do
NOT put up with that kind of malarkey in life, and I won't put up with it on
a fictional species meant to be used for giggles. :C

r-e-s-p-e-c-t, now you know what it means to me

Well said, Chim! I am excited for whoever gets him; it is a lovely design and I think the winner will be getting some awesome pieces for him c:

I have no faith in my info on #21, lol, BUT I have an awesome character planned out! I just need to find a fitting Makoatl. e.e

[HanniBun]

That's terrible D; This is supposed to be for fun and a friendly competition. I can understand the pressure, there are great forms and art work for that one, but that shouldn't discourage anyone. I looked at all the forms, and the ones that look completed (or at least really long and detailed) are all amazing. Not to mention all the new faces here since it's been released. It's just a bunch of pretty pixels though ._. There shouldn't be any drama over that.

Ahh I'll quit my rambling now ^^; Best of luck to everyone trying out for him/her though. C: Love seeing all the forms and awesome art~

[Lynxy]

ah, i don't get the fighting, really. :c i'm very nervous to apply for #22, but it's all in good fun and there's no need for fighting over it.

[Novi]

@Lynxy I completely agree with you. People, it's all for fun. There's no need to get all riled up over it; I mean, they're fictional characters.

^-^ I'm glad I've met some polite people while trying for #22. I'd also like to wish a good luck to all of my fellow competitors and to Hannibal!



Made this art for my form c:

Still hosting a JM, and taking Mako requests! :3 Just please don't ask me to do completely complicated designs/art of #22. ^^; The complicated ones, I can't do because...Well, I'm a novice at drawing xD
And #22 is the one I'm currently obsessed with. c:

@ Chim
I was actually going to try for the beaut, but I was intimidated by the beautiful forms v u v
Good luck judging Chim! I agree that people should be respectful - everyone's trying just as hard c:

@ Cerestes
Your form for #21 is really beautiful Cerestes v////v
I might gift you some art later to help you out with your form <3

@ Crysalis
I completely agree, a competition should be friendly and enjoyed by those who enter ouo/
Regardless of the outcome, it's the heart and effort that make it worthwhile!

[Bebop]

Fighting? How on Earth do people have time for fighting? My form is devouring all of my free time, I just spent the last 4 hours of my life drawing this:



If you have enough free time to squabble, then your probably not doing it right.

//more sass cause sass is always the answer//

I have a question for everyone here, since it might involve me. IDK.

[b]How do you know when you're obsessed with a Mako? When you've found your dreamie?[/b]

[Cass!]

v3v I love him and need more artworks of heeeem.

Btw, I make it a point to stay out of Mako competitions cus I'm the owner's wifey sooo... Yah. It's not that I don't love all these great designs (trust me it's been tempting) but I don't want to cause any drama llamas ( I only like lazy llamas).

Hmmmm, this is a good question. I suppose maybe when you have a dream of them? Or you feel like your heart jumps out of your chest at the sighting of them?
