It's just for me to know you can and will use all of your creative juices. You can all expect a pm some point soon of congratulations and my feelings about your hard work, as well as the position I feel you are best suited for.

Now for the actual pet prizes. We will start with first place receiving their pets, then slowly work down to honorable mentions. Placers will receive trades momentarily.

Everybody did fabulous, and I wish I could give you all sunjewels for your work! This was a difficult pick!

Howdy there! Yep, it's me, DragonLoverHere. For a long time now, I've been in contemplation of a poysona, but have not been able to design something that sings me.

Not only is this a contest for my poysona, but if you've seen my free QUOTE Characters (link in my sig; stamp) and are interested in earning a guest artist or even permanent artist postion, this will assess your skills and perhaps make you a high priority.

Third Place

Likes, Dislikes, Form, and Needs
Below I have included a ton of lists containing things I would like and dislike in a ponysona, and some music to show you what I'm like. You don't have to use them completely, but the more you incorporate into the design, the better. I do NOT want something extremely cluttered and noisy, though! Make sure the things you choose work together in all ways possible. It can be simple or complex, it can include things I haven't talked about, so long as it complements the design. Further questions are welcome by post or pm! I will always look at your entry and comment

Username:~TheFirstAvenger~
Cutiemark and Talent: Her cutie mark is a lantern, representing the light and warmth she brings others.
In Depth Design Description (down to the last accessory!): She wears her red-gold highlighted hair in a braid, slung over her right shoulder. She finds this more convenient, as it doesn't get in her way when she goes for a run. Her dragon wings allow her flight, and she relishes the feeling. The locket she wears holds priceless sentimental value. She's an overall lighthearted pony, who loves to laugh, and be with others. She's the kind of pony who will brighten up your day, even if she can't brighten up her own.
Suggested name (if any): Uh... I'll leave that to you...
Idealized History and Occupation:This pony was born in the dark, to an underprivileged situation; but always seemed to know just how to make things right. She has more of a talent for making others happy, but can't seem to help herself sometimes. Her occupation could be considered a therapist, but she likes to think of it as "light-bringer".
Do you hold any interest in becoming a QUOTE Character artist? (just to know for future reference): Absolutely!
Other: Well, I tried. I hope you like her.

Oh my gosh, I've been so caught up in school that I haven't been working on my entry! I think I might not actually put up cloths for her, but I might later on...Here is a link; http://willowkit17.deviantart.com/art/N ... kit17&qo=1 & http://willowkit17.deviantart.com/art/A ... kit17&qo=0

FallenAngel~Firefly

Cutiemark and Talent:

A blue orb and flame behind it. Her talent is being able to use magic and flames. She is able to make her sword flame with her magic as well.

In Depth Design Description (down to the last accessory!):

She is slightly larger than normal mares, though her legs are thinner with claws rather than hooves. She has two markings below either eye (27acb5). Both pairs of her wings are flame colored. While the smaller pair do not flame nor serve much of a purpose her larger wings are constantly aflame. She is able to fly with them do to her magic. She wears two earrings on either ear (f63a15). Her ears are mixed between a dragon and a pony and the left has a large nick in it. Her eyes are also the same (f63a15), though they have a slit pupil like a dragon. The mane is long and spiky with highlighted tips. Her tail starts off thin then becomes fluffy at the end. Fire comes off her tail while two spirits are expelled from the flames to carry her depression and insanity. Thin strings of twine are on her horn and tail. She has two pets, one is a cobra and the other is a hermit crab who is very shy. She has a sword that is held together with an orb of magic that allows her to make it flame. Lastly she wears a pair of goggles that keep her eyes from getting damaged in the midst of battle while on ground or in air.

Her body color is 474c50, tail and horn markings are 3d6b71, 318d95, and 27acb5 as are her other “blue” markings. Her mane color is 4e373b as are her spots on her tail. Her fire colors are f63a15, f69415, eef615.

Suggested name (if any):

3627 she needs a real name though.

Idealized History and Occupation:

Number 3627, that's her code they say. She was given the code "3627", because it was the number she was listed under when she joined the legion. She used it as her name ever since and forgot her own through the horrors of war. She was born in the midst of a battle while her parents fought desperately against the Shard Pony alliance. Shard Ponies, a proud race, were very much against hybrid ponies as they were the very reason legions of them had been killed under the cruel rule of an ancient dragon known as Kadaskar. Kadaskar had stolen many ponies in hopes their talents would turn out to be useful to him. Those who were became his loyal servants, but those who weren't were never seen again. Kadaskar, however had been dead for over two centuries upon 3627's birth.

Half breeds. Neither pony nor dragon much cared for them, and their lives were often filled with torment and unnecessary beatings. It was no different for 3627, born of a gentle female dragon known as Dancing Waters and a courageous unicorn stallion, Burnt Ember. Her mother vanished at an early age and she hasn't been seen since. Her father on the other hoof was always beside her and often times is still attempting to find his daughter who left to join a legion of half breed ponies fighting for justice.

3627 learned how to use magic at an early age, many do not understand how as she has no unicorn horn though many assume that her dragon horns are able to control her magic as a unicorn horn would. Her fire on the other hoof was created in memory of her mother when she mysteriously vanished with a group of dragons for reasons unknown. 3627 learned how to fight at an early age though it would cause her to go into depression. Other times insanity would take hold of her and she could fight without memory the next day. Thus she created two “spirits” of magic to hold her depression and insanity in as to not harm other ponies around her. Her depression spirit is named “Symphony” while her insanity spirit is called “Taskar”.

While she may seem to be a depressed or insane pony she actually is a well rounded mare. She can have a great personality and a big heart. Her passion is fighting for justice of the half breed ponies which has become her occupation. Her two pets were both found injured in one of her battles, they seemed to be close friends already though she is unable to find out where they came from or why they were together.

(I tried to keep this brief, I honestly wanted to write a story, but I resisted x_x)


(Shard Ponies are my species I will have info on them later if you are ever curious).

Do you hold any interest in becoming a QUOTE Character artist? (just to know for future reference):

I don't think I have time =C

Other:

If I don't win I am going to keep her, sorry ^_^'. Also, keep in mind that I do own the Shard Ponies, I just wanted to mix her history with them.

Username: Bast

Cutiemark and Talent:
A tribal design of a serpent with an angel and demon wing. Talent? I'm not so sure. Maybe the screech from a bird of prey that's enhanced to where if high enough it could built to much pressure in one's body and bust their eardrums and internal organs.... Or you could change it. XD

In Depth Design Description (down to the last accessory!):
It is a mixture of Dragon, bird of prey, and horse. (When converting to MLP, remove the hoof coloration and just continue the leg color.)
Mane and tail pieces are vivid purple with a tinge of pink, head is of a dragon (black w/electric green), body markings are also electric green. Neck "mane" is a golden with stray red strands like a bird of prey, the chest/shoulder area is also feathered but white with black mottling. The body coloration is that of a black tobiano and has a tail of a dragon. Eyes are slitted with inner color of green which blends out to gold. Has a "shooting star" scar on leg, another large, forked scar on the withers, and claw scars on tail.

Suggested name (if any):
I have no idea so you could play with this one.

Idealized History and Occupation:
Well heck if I know. You have a very big sketch for imagination here, especially when you have the scar history to play with. It's all up to you really. I'm not really into the MLP so for the occupation I'm really clueless. That's all left to you.

Do you hold any interest in becoming a QUOTE Character artist? (just to know for future reference):
Sure if I have the time at that moment. Just remind me that I was in your contest.

Cutiemark and Talent: Though she has no cutie mark,ponies mistake her marking sometimes for her mark. She doesn't really have a talent,but she can speak to the dead.

In Depth Design Description (down to the last accessory!): Her scaly fur is Royal Purple,with golden Stripe patterns on her back legs and some on the tail,golden eyeliner. The symbol on her cheek,(witch sould be smaller X3) is the chinese symbol for for eternity. She is Tall and skinny,much like a Greyhound,and some of her ribs are showing. Her wings are Royal Purple and Gold,and can change form into feathered wings,but more like phoenix's wings than a normal pegasi's. Her tail,wich is like a dragon's,goes down to around her heel,and instead of a point like a normal dragon's tail,it is a puffy scruff of fur. Her mane is scruffy and medium lengh,dark-ish purple with gold fading in,as well as the tail fur. Her eyes are green,but she is blind. Her curvy-ish horns are gold. The light green orbs help her see and use magic. She has a ghost snake companion,(not shown though.) That's about it!<3

Suggested name (if any):
Lhavinia
Idealized History and Occupation:
well, she was born to a very rich famliy, who'd have gladly seen her little princess grown up into a real lady.... but Lhavinia thought difference. She allways felt that she was different, beeing able not only to read somebodies mind but sometime even more hapaned: her wil seemed to influence the situation!
At the first moment she was scared about herself, grew shy and finally an outsider. But then she realized how much she could reach with this power!
Although she felt bad about influencing other ponies like that, she decided to work with dragons instead. These mighty magigal creatures are some natural menace to the population of ponies but they also intrested and fascinated Lhavinia ever since she learned to know about them. Using her mind power she is able to communicate with those dragons so that she could help alot by making her home more save.
One day she met an uncommonly strong dragon who told her an earthquaking story about her own family:
Lhavinias Mother was a member of a very old and mighty nobility, once feared not only for their powers and opulence but for their cruel nature: They used to fly and speak with the dragons (in these times a black treachery) and even more: become dragons themselfs when they got furious!
Lhavinia was shocked.... but after some time of thinking through the matter she thought ist not only possible but likely!
