i feel like an idiot 'cause i don't remember what discord server this was in (either the main Flight Rising discord or G1 Hell, not too sure), but there was one person who vented about how mythicviper's skins looked the same and kept winning multiple fests??? and honestly i agree like good job for namedropping lmao
anyway. while i do like mythicviper's stuff... they do look the same yeah lol

I swear that skin already exists as a previous FF skin? Was it for a different breed before or something?

Looking at the skins they've had won, four of them are literally the exact same concept... But for different elements. That's why it looks so similar. Like at this point just make a goddamn series of UMAs

At least it's not another "previous winning fest skin on the opposite pose" that's happened a few times. Definitely prefer this over that.

Also looking at that and the previous win and they're not that similar??? They take up the same general areas on the breed but they're not recolours or even drawn all that similarly so I don't see the big deal?

It's not like that one person who did a mushroom themed skin for female Banes for each fest xD Since I think the mushrooms were the same on all of them.

I'm cracking up over the fact that they've done it again: https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/skin/3165954/3#post_52141019

This one is definitely more similar to their FF entry than any of the others were. It doesn't even bother me that much because hey, they're all pretty, but I hadn't noticed the trend until this thread was made and now I can't unsee it lol

These skins would definitely be better suited as a UM series though imo

As long as they suit the festival, I don't see why it needs to be a UMA series. Let staff make the choice.

People honestly are looking for an excuse to be jerks.

It's one thing if they keep doing similar things but it's like staff is picking an easy win and it's kinda shitty to see the same person winning every festival with a similar skin. It's an easy guaranteed win that pretty much locks them in and it's not really fair.

whats stopping you from making accents for similarly unpopular breeds and getting the same "guaranteed" win?

guaranteed win? you do realize there ARE other fpose ridgeback entries this fest? and that plenty of breeds/poses end up with winners at all.

while all this lowkey makes me wish once again that her nocturne entry had won instead for TCC (it was my personal fave), I'm never going to begrudge a talented artist passing up tons of profit by choosing to submit a fest entry rather than doing their own print. and if we do get an fpose ridge winner again, so far hers is unambiguously the best executed AND most unique relative to other entries and past years.
