Apologies for the short deadline on this guys!
We lost most of June with the site opening, so to get this in in time for the 23rd, the deadline had to be tight. In the future, we will have contests with a more generous timeframes. :-)

[quote name="Swiftblight" date="2013-06-18 22:57:07" url="main.php?p=mb&board=skin&page=1&id=112169#112313"]Any limitations on which breeds we can use for the skins? Do we have to make a male and female version?[/quote]
You may choose any breed/gender combo you wish. You do not have to make multiple versions.
[quote name="Admers" date="2013-06-18 23:00:04" url="main.php?p=mb&board=skin&page=1&id=112169#112334"]Do winning entries need all breeds or can someone win with only one species?[/quote]
You do not have to make the skin fit all species. The nature of skins means that each skin will only ever need to work with one breed/gender combination.

[url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=wiki&article=1]Fae[/url] originate from [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=explore&map=9]Starwood Strand[/url], an arcane zone, though members of the fae breed have spread to all elemental territories. A fae light skin is entirely appropriate. :-) (Any breed is, really!)
[quote name="Asjure" date="2013-06-18 23:19:44" url="main.php?p=mb&board=skin&page=1&id=112169#112482"]It sounds like there can be multiple winners. Will there be a winner for each breed, or is it more of a first, second, and third place kind of thing? Or staff favorites?[/quote]
There will be 3-6 winners.

Woot woot! As a person with absolutely no digital artistic experience, no digital art equipment, and lack of a good program besides GIMP 2, I will fail at this... but try never the less!
[Insert future skin that will probably fail]

Reserving my spot for when I get to doing these. :) You will regret saying there is no limit. I'm putting these under Links, because I think these will get unbearably long should it all be images? [edit] Or not, since no one else is.

I sleep between 20:00 and 5:00 flight rising time.
I figure the skin would go with the element. Faes are kinda based on the Lightweaver, right?
==edit== Okay, that turned out to be a really dumb question that some light reading would solve. |D *look at my puns*

Please do not take the skins I make. I made these for the contest. If they're not picked, then I still want to use them on my own dragons. Thanks. <3 If they are picked, I do have the files still and I can send a non watermarked image. c:
