Perfect Pair design contest! Results!

Post by Sushidragon »

And here's the results :D CareBear89 was the random winner, and tierasa was the picked winner - congrats! I just love how well both of these new stallions go with their mares :D Thanks to everyone who entered, there were a lot of lovely designs and it was a tough decision!

Image Image

Huh, and we seem to have crossed into the 1700s for Sam IDs XD I really need to catch up on those special X00 Sams..

--

Looking for the right partner can be a long and difficult process, but so worth it in the end! Why don't we help out some Samanayrs who haven't yet found their ideal mate? It is the month for love, after all ;D

Your task is to design a mate for a single mare or stallion that you own, or for a single Sam that you've borrowed (with permission) from someone else! The new Samanayr will be drawn to be interacting with the existing Sam, and their cert will be changed to the pair cert :D Here’s one of the winners from last time!
Image
The two Sams will be required to start a Song together, but it's up to the owner(s) to decide whether to make it a pair Song or open the Song up to other mares.

I'll be picking one or two entries based on creativity, uniqueness, overall aesthetic appeal, and compatability with the existing Samanayr. This doesn't mean they have to be all matchy-matchy, but try to come up with a Sam that you thiink would make interesting foals with its mate!

I'll also be picking one entry randomly :D
General rules and info
- There is a limit of one entry per person.
- Please enter on PI or the Sam forum, not both places.
- If you don't have any single Samanayrs you'd like to enter, you can enter using a single Sam owned by someone else with their permission. If you win they'll own the original Sam and you'll own the new Sam.
- The owner of the stallion is responsible for setting up the new Song.
- Only Samanayrs not in a Song can enter.
Design rules and info
- Any species except Mystery, Healer, Rider, or Elemental can be used.
- Since there's no roleplaying involved in this contest the pair need to be of compatible species, so no Mystic with a Misery, etc. You can see if the species you're interested in using has any breeding restrictions on the species page - http://samanayrs.net/species.php
- Any traits except 'unique' or species-specific are allowed!
- Samanayrs are very small, so when designing please keep in mind that it can be difficult for me to do very small or detailed markings.
- Since Samanayrs are hand-colored it can be difficult for me to match up the exact colors, but I'll try my best!
- Your entry can be written, drawn, or a combination of both. You won't be judged on the quality of writing or drawing, just on the design itself. Visual aids are most appreciated, particularly for detailed markings and that kind of thing.
- Entries can be as detailed or vague as you'd like, but please be sure to fill out all of the info on the form as a bare minimum.
Prizes!
I'll be picking 1 or 2 entries based on the design and 1 other entry will be picked randomly. Each winning entry will result in a new Samanayr who will be certed with the original Samanayr!

All entrants will receive a random tradeable item :D
How to enter
Please send me a PM with the subject Looking for love with the following form filled out (single Samanayr ID is the ID number of the Sam that already exists):

Username:
Single Samanayr ID:
If you don't own the single Sam do you have permission to borrow them for this contest?

New Samanayr name:
Gender:
Species:
Traits:
Markings and colors:
Personality:
Accessories (if any):
Other relevant info (if any):


This will be open until February 13, 1pm PST. Good luck!

If you have Sams you'd be willing to volunteer for other people to use, please post here and/or on the thread on PI!

Hey Sushi, got a question for you!


How set in stone is it that Kirins have Pure Black Eyes? I've found some that don't have that trait, and are pure Kirins >> And I'd love to have another eye trait XD

Those guys are Kirin-combo species, so I'd say if it's combined with another species they don't necessarily have to have the black eyes!

The event is now closed! Ended up getting 18(!) entries so it might take me a bit of time to go through them, especially with everything else going on, but I'll try my darndest to get them done soon! I'll be announcing the winners when I get them drawn and finished up :D

I've had an exhausting week and then needed to get some non-Sams art done, but I've narrowed the entries down to some finalists, should figure out the winner(s) tonight, then will get drawing tomorrow :D Sorry for the delay!

If you're curious about the non-Sams art I've actually been posting more to Instagram lately, as well as my usual haunts XD
