Hello There! I'm looking to get a species started, but I can't exactly decide on what I'm wanting to do! Because of this, I'm going to be holding this competition for a species design. I'm excited about this, and I'm sure there are a lot of you excited about having 100C$! So let's get started.

1. You are allowed one species. quality over quantity.
2. Nursery Lines are always a plus.
3. You can be as creative as you like. You have no artistic limits.

6. Covers are a must. Please use the "cover" layer as your cover.
7. Winner gets to be an artist and will get a custom!
8. The more "editable" layers you have, the better. (ex. Rare/uncommon/common traits)
9. I must be able to edit the work so that I can see the species!

FINAL RESULTS
Mantisbug - 5/10 I really like that you went with the canine idea and I love the detail that you put into it. However, I don't think that this particularly stands out too much. The reason I say this is because there are a lot of characters out there that looks similar to this, so I don't see a lot of people adopting something that looks like everyone else's adopts.
Forgot the Milk - Never finished
pupper.exe - 6/10 I love that you went with pandas! They are very popular right now and you used that. You also went into detail about their history, which is also a plus. What you also included was lines for both female and male Panda Pops, which was something I didn't see often. The only downside was I wasn't a huge fan of the design of this species, and I wanted something a bit more natural looking. On the other hand, you also came up with a species that is very unique!
stormbriger - 8/10 This looks like an adopt that I would want, and I love that you included shading and detail in the species itself. However, you didn't leave a lot of room for potential line edits (like horns, wings, etc) that artists may want to add to make the adopt look a bit more unique. You also went with canine adopt, which I think works because of how common they are, but saying that they also need to stand out design wise.

I don't believe I've seen an entry that I can comfortably award 100C$ too, however I will be giving out the rares as promised and smaller C$ prizes to those that finished their entries. Since I'm not giving the 100C$, you may do as you please with your species, which I believe is fair. I'll be giving out rares based on the above ratings <3
