Any thing else you think I should fix up?

I just went through the entire thread (whew!) and there are a lot of entries that are really cool but don't really mesh well with flight rising's style. :( FR has very sharp, defined, "cell" shaded colors. Any color fades looks like they've been made via the gradient tool (from what I can tell in the bestiary). I would take a guess that most of the patterns are done with a lasso tool. Here's a couple examples: [img]http://flightrising.com/images/cms/familiar/art/648.png[/img][img]http://flightrising.com/images/cms/familiar/art/415.png[/img][img]http://flightrising.com/images/cms/familiar/art/403.png[/img] Even though these familiars have complex markings and colors, the colors are blended together with gradients and the markings are all very solid with no color blends. Just a little food for thought, and this is all my opinion and interpretation of the contest guidelines, of course.

I see that a few actually enjoy my submission very much, but what slothbug said, I do feel like mine is not very fitting to Flight Rising's coloring style.

I just entered for the hell of it, but now I hope that they ask for you to send a PSD via somewhere for further adjustments.

Mine is basically all flats and a color scheme that works well together, but I might be too much of a fan for natural and possible colorations rather than the neon pixie dust fantasy is known for.

But seriously, thank you for the feedback. I was really surprised to become one of some people's favorites.

@slothbug
That's why I'm hoping, when I have the time, to go in and actually make it a smooth style versus the painterly style.

@Beaker - I just went back and found yours and dang is it pretty! But I definitely think it would benefit if it matched fr's style a little more. I don't think you'd have to change it too much though! Fab color choices.

@Vergolophus - I think with the shading yours will fit the style very well. :) fr has several natural colored familiars, so they definitely don't have to be ~bright~

@Aten - I didn't know you had a brb?! What a cute little thing
