Crystal: The backgrounds o: Except... I s'pose it's not a big deal anymore but if you'd like to make them match that'd be amazing.

Muffilli and wilson_kelli: Those look great o: Keep up the good work!

Everyone: August 1st is the final deadline extent unless someone who's really close to being done (by August 1st) says that they're nearly finished. Then I will extend it 3 days tops and that's it. So get your entries in!

^_^ - :o the deadline is my birthday. <3

wilson_kellie -  It looks awesome. :D

 IMPORTANT: Please Read.

Just so that I know who's still working on their entries, would you post? :3 That way I can determine if maybe I should cut the deadline down to July 20th or something. I know that some people who have already finished and posted their entries might be a little frustrated because I keep extending. D: So I'd like to apologize for that.

Also: For those of you who have posted a drawing of only one of my pets, I'd like to remind you that you have to have Genie, Relcore, and June to qualify for a prize. ;/

I will announce the winners one day after the deadline, unless there is something that comes up which makes it impossible to get to a computer. In that case, I will post all the winners/entries as soon as possible.

If you'd rather your entry not be publicly placed, please Rmail me and I will understand. I will Rmail you what place you received and send you your prize. I will post if you're 1st or 2nd even if you ask me not to publicly post it, unless you include in your Rmail that even if you got 1st or 2nd place, you'd rather not let anyone else know. o_o Although I'm not sure why you wouldn't.

I hope that no one's feelings are hurt when you are placed, because you all are doing tremendous jobs and are amazing artists. I wish I could say the same for myself. xP That's why I prefer doing just 1st, 2nd, then everyone else. So that no one feels like they got last.

Thanks to everyone who entered by the way. Like I said before, all entries look great and I hate to have to choose one over another, but I guess that's kind of the point of contests, right? Any other questions? Feel free to Rmail me. ^^

I just realized that only three people have posted finished drawings of all of my pets (which, once more, is required). D: I don't want to have people who put quite a bit of time into their drawing not be able to receive a prize because they didn't draw the other two. If you draw quick sketches of the two that you're missing, I'll give you a prize as long as they're not like unidentifiable scribbles. Just don't like expect 1st or 2nd place unless you're an amazing speed sketcher. o_o

Also to add onto my above post, if you're one of those people who are finishing up their entries, please include in your post: your estimated amount of progress, and when you guess it'll be done. That will help much in determining if I should cut the deadline short. (: Thanks! 

I am going to finish the other 2 :)

I'm doodling still~

I put a lot on my plate and I shouldn't have, but I'm still going to try.

Progress: reeeeallly slow. Rough sketchs still running through my brain. Nothing confirmed.  I'm pretty quick, it only takes me a day to sketch and outline, if I don't have anything to do that day. Coloring doesn't take too long, but I can be pretty picky on it so the days could be any number.

Questions: I actually want to bug you quite a bit about somethings. For instance I remember that thingie majig on your profile, I'd like to see it again, if you don't mind? Would you prefer full body or head shots? Does it matter? Can I have some tidbits about their personalities? I mean what expresions do you picture them having? Just like if you'd taken their pictures, would they be candid shots or posed for the camera?

None: Okay ^^ Sounds good.

Toshi:
1.) http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm160/karanpie/Creatu2.jpg (Although I'm not 100% sure I'll use it. I might just stick the winning drawings on their petpages or on my profile in a different way. =/ We'll see.)
2.) Full body or head shots, it's up to you. C:
3.) Relcore-Heroic and fierce. He'd have a sort of straight serious face. Genie-Curious and adventurous. She (although I plan to someday maker her a he) just has a small smile. June-Peaceful and intelligent. She would just be peaceful looking. I trust your judgment on the rest.
They'd probably be like candid shots, but sort of posed too? Haha no idea. x_o
I can't wait to see your finished drawings Toshi. ^^

wilson_kellie: That's perfectly alright. I'd rather not rush people, I just didn't want to keep people waiting either. But you're fine. I will probably leave it at August 1st. C:

oh man, I totally forgot about pet personality, and looking back, I made some of them super OOC, like Relcore. X___X

I may fix/redraw the entire thing if I have the time, but for now, do you mind if I took down my posted entries? For now I'd prefer if they weren't up, especially if I might change them. I'll rmail you the finished ones without the watermarks, thank you for understanding!

I've completely finished one of them, and I'm about halfway through the second. The third is sketched, but not complete. So I'd say I'll probably be done in a few days, maybe a week, just because I have a lot of stuff going on.

But the August 1st deadline is fine with me. ^^ 

Okay, I finished a lot faster than I thought I would. And I'm pretty happy with how they came out. :D

Relcore: http://i25.tinypic.com/11l37sw.jpg

Genie: http://i32.tinypic.com/mlpaw.jpg

June: http://i32.tinypic.com/o53sdv.jpg

acidicfire: o___o Are you serious because I thought they were fine. I guess it's up to you though. I don't mind what you do, redraw or not. (:

Muffilli: Those look good. ^^

theyellowflash: It looks lovely. C: I'll count the planet as a background.
