My birthday, which is on August 13th, is a day that I like to celebrate by getting people involved in things I like and rewarding them for participation with prizes, raffles, or in this case: a contest! On my birthday I will be buying fodder, and the winning mockup design from this contest will be the custom placed on it! The Prizes First place winner gets their choice of mockup +2PP, second place gets the choice between the two remaining mockups +1PP, and third place wins the final mockup. Prize #1: The Merchant
Your estimate is below; please pass it along to the winner or add them to this echo. The estimate will need to be pasted into their form in order to be honored: Ineki base: 10 PP/$50 Total: 41 PP/$205 There are a number of ways in which the background price could be reduced, so feel free to direct the winner to mycenangelo if they want to discuss that. Please let me know if I’ve forgotten any edits! :) -Myla Prize #2: The Bard
Base: 10 PP ($50) *The feathers on the hat will need to be removed, resized, or redrawn. Removing or resizing them come at no additional cost. However if the winner of the mockup wishes them to be redrawn it will be an additional 2 PP to make them fit within the avatar limits! **There are couple ways to reduce the price of the background, so if the winner wishes to discuss that they can be added to this echo or contact Mycenangelo directly. Total: 41-43 PP ($205-$207) Prize #3: The Apprentice
Base: 10 PP ($50) *The hat will either need to be removed or redrawn for the avatar image. Removing the image comes at no additional cost but redrawing would be an additional 2 PP and look significantly smaller. **This is priced at the painterly style; if the mockup winner wishes items to be lined and shaded in Mycena style they will need to contact Mycenangelo directly in order to receive a more accurate price estimate! Total: 39-41 PP ($195-$205) Participation Prize: 1 gem per person (not per entry) The Rules
1. The design MUST be on a kelph base! The Contest Iteself So the goal is to design a kelph that will be perfect for me! I do not have a PP limit, but less can certainly be more - if the pet is too densely and heavily edited, that will affect the chances of it winning this contest just because I intend to make it my next available hop into the custom queue. Hidden below the following spoiler is a list of a lot of my favorite things, from colors to aesthetics - you do not need to incorporate all of these at once in your design. For example, I don’t need a red fox kelph because the color red and foxes are two of my favorite things! I’d rather see what your creative minds can concoct, and what you guys see fitting me, my account or my other pets the best! Or something you think will just look nice, of course. There are no restrictions outside of the kelph base requirement.
The list of things I enjoy the most:
Foxes Beaks or bird feet

I had a few more plans for this but Life and Legion has taken my time and I didn’t realize it ended today (same old story really :p ) There are a few notes added because I felt that it was needed. She is inspired by Okami and the artstyle and is a fox-goddess maybe who has the same painterly skill. She is textured to look like paper with tea stain or ink painting for markings. *Notes The lineart is supposed to be black and is supposed to resemble the sketchy/painterly art style from Okami. I am not 100% sure if it is possible but I did test it out on one of the regular coats and it will work fine with the MC shading template. Edits planned: Potential Adjustments:

Sorry for submitting this so late, but here’s my entry! ![]() Since your birthday is in August, I tried to use Japanese seasonal symbols relating to August and summer. The Milky Way (amanogawa, lit. River of Heaven) one I really like for this time of year! So in the design I used both a waves pattern and a space/starry theme. In a traditional clothing sense, deep blue kimono, pampas grass kanzashi, and fireworks kanzashi are all fairly common in August, so I used those as well! I changed the eyes to a bit more serene expression and put a little pink around them, like a Maiko’s red makeup. And then a simple background to give the firework fins some visibility. I hope you like it! I had a lot of fun with this design. EDIT: messed up my formatting.

KeeperGreymuzzlesthewordeaterDunnoCelestine[@Nazgra]LordSakuraPetals[@Witch Doctor]MalisClearBright[@plaidLabrador] You guys made it hard for me to pick, and I don’t think there’s a single entry that I don’t like! There can only be three winners, however, so it’s time for me to make the decision. In first place… In second place… In third place… First place, please inform me which mockup you would like to claim as your own! Second place, let me know what your first and second picks are. Third place, I will ping you to alert you which mockup you have won!
As a bonus, under this spoiler you will find a list of my thoughts on every entry!

Congrats PlaidLabrador/ClearBright/Celestine! Those are all really lovely designs, and I’m not surprised the three of you won~ Kippie I’m glad you like the fox, but I have to admit I got pretty…attached…to the design whilst I was making it. Since it’s not one of your top three, would you mind if I kept it?

Kippie kinda of on the same level as Grey, actually. I may get a custom done up of it later on, if that’s alright. It keeps staring at me from my bookshelf saying “I want to liiiiiive.” Also, i do have access to digital medium, its just that i have trouble with colors in digital and I have a super shaky hand on my tablet. Pencil is just steadier

Kippie I’m so glad you like the design! I spent a while trying to find what would represent August well and still incorporate into a nice theme, and including elements you like too. I had a lot of fun with that, so it makes me happy that you enjoy it! Congrats to ClearBright and Celestine as well. I have to agree with Kippie in that I love all the designs here. I’d like to claim the Apprentice design!
