Ended: Winning announced: Character Contest

It's fine tornado,  don't feel bad. Sometimes it's hard to interpret things on the internet.  I have about 5 different nick names from ppl over the years lol

No need to be sorry! Just wanted to try and explain things :)

Stay on topic, y'all. 😁

lol Ok Gaia! When will this end?

Tornado, as stated on my post, the deadline is TBA. I'm waiting for a few more additional entries before I make my decision.

Ok I have my final design for you - 

Firstly-  congrats! 

I hope I'm still allowed to enter!  I know I don't have very many posts under my belt, but I read more than I comment on the forums ^^;  I was super inspired.

Since babies are not born full grown, I made a foal instead, to reflect her age



Since her flower is a daffodil, I made her the yellow and white of the flower (yay Palo!).  Her markings are aquamarine accents for her birthstone. Her Aquamarine markings are reminiscent of water or waves- thought it appropriate for a daughter of Gaia ;D

She is dotted with round pearl accents on her coat, and her face marking curls around like the zodiac sign for Ares!

I didn't want to add any add-ons to her--yet!  I thought it would be best for you to do that as she grows and her personality unfolds. So the character can sort of grow as she grows!

(Foal lines are mine! Made them specifically for this :) )

She is SO pretty!! :D You did a GREAT job!!!

Beautiful entry, Tyr!

TornadoEllie: First of all, what beautiful designs you came up with! Your creativity really shined through and I'm seeing daily at how much your art is improving! I love how you took my idea and added your own twist to it! Because of the time you spent, I will be sending you 150K EVD! Please feel free to resell the two designs you posted as well!

Notori: Your entry was stunning! Simply stunning! The horns, head piece, and even color of the mare was unique and beautiful! You really set the standards high on this contest! You know I have always been a huge fan of your work and this piece was no different! Because of the time you spent, I will be sending you 150K EVD! I do hope when I set up a post for tag recolors, some of your past sells in end up in it! Please feel free to resell the design if you'd like!

Tyr: I'll be honest, I don't recall really seeing you around EV but I hope you continue to make yourself known in the art world! Your piece came as an unexpected surprise for me. While new lines were not a requirement, I love the fact that you did your own and you made her into a foal! As soon as I saw your entry this morning, I knew immediately that this was the piece I was looking for without even realizing it. I am very excited to say that you have won the 1.5 million EVD prize. Thank you for creating such a stunning piece that I feel represents miss Hayden so well. I will be sending you a private message here shortly.

All 3 of you are great artists!

Oh my gosh, this has been just so pleasantly unexpected, and a wonderful thing to wake up to!  I am so happy that you loved my design and that it will fit in perfectly for what you had in mind for your daughter!

I'm pretty new to EV, but not to doing artwork!  I'm enjoying the game so much, and hope to definitely create some more art for contests and otherwise.  I've actually been toying with a base for other designs (I don't like using linework that's not my own), and some tags as well.  Thank you for all of the awesome compliments! 

Congrats to Notori and TornadoEllie as well!  Everyone had such amazing entries and feel quite honored and floored that I won!

Congrats everyone! Job well done!
