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. :-) -------------------------------------------- [center][b]FAQ:[/b][/center] [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. [quote name="GwenniethePooh" date="2013-06-18 23:10:15" url="main.php?p=mb&board=skin&page=1&id=112169#112413"]I figure the skin would go with the element. Faes are kinda based on the Lightweaver, right?[/quote] [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.
