Festival Skin Containment Zone

[mindlessflight]

No flashy graphics, just a space to kvetch/discuss Festival skins and accents.

The rules still apply- no politics, provide proof, blah blah blah.

Have fun.

in terms of ones I (personally) really hope win, I would love for winds in the north (above) and Chipper Chirper (https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/skin/3400146/5#post_58565980) to win- I think chipper chirper is super cute.

[(Anonymous)]

winds of the north is amazing, i hope it wins

[(Anonymous)]

Damn, my absolute fav (mistplume monarch) didn't win. Also, lol, one of the winning spiral skins is glitched for male skydancer

Why does that last one (seaside sundries) look like the hatchling is wearing a muzzle
like am i stupid is it supposed to be something else that im just not seeing

[(Anonymous)]

i would love to know what that's supposed to be if not a muzzle (on a BABY no less), i genuinely can't think of anything else it would be

[(Anonymous)]

Not the artist, but it looks like an ornamental bridle, like you might see on carousel horses or the like.

I actually think that might not even go through as a custom, because it might hit the inappropriate apparel for a hatchling rule.

[(Anonymous)]

it looks like a carousel horse bridle with a funky octopus beak to me! im not sure what the intent was tho lol

[(Anonymous)]

I usually don't look at all of the submissions to avoid inevitable disappointment (and i don't want to be tempted to buy a boatload of umas afterwards) and god I wish I kept to that right now. That first one would have looked SO GREAT on my fathom hatchling.

[(Anonymous)]

[(Anonymous)]

I'd agree with your picks!

[(Anonymous)]

mostly agreed. "fathomsearch maren" was a top pick for me, as were any of MV's entries (as usual) and "sink down beneath"; "prehistoric sea" is of course really good but i kind of wish something that wasn't a pose swap for a previous winner had been given priority. i really like(d) "loreley" but wasn't actually expecting it to make it to the winners' circle.
there's nothing bad about the winners, but the selection is just odd to me given what had to be passed over.

and i straight up DO NOT understand why these hatchling picks. similar issue to MistJam, but this time around i felt like there were an especially strong selection of hatchling options which made it extra confusing.

[(Anonymous)]

yeah there were some really banger hatchling skins in the running, i am.. not sure why they picked the ones they did

Greenskeeper submissions

[(Anonymous)]

damn this thread just opened and it's already popping off.
(of course i'm already anxious that my faves will be randomly snubbed, given how little i've agreed with the judging lately.)

but for the moment i just want to appreciate how good these are!!!
especially losing my mind over "Blooming Revival" by Illuna, currently.

[(Anonymous)]

I hope 'On A Glorious Day In May' and 'Precious Planter' win

Summer Roses i have the perfect Veil for omg. So many good skins

[(Anonymous)]

we have just over a week left for entries and there are only 5 pages? things are getting dire

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, greenskeeper picks for win?

Thundercrack Carnivale

[(Anonymous)]

i wanna talk TCC so i'm making a thread header now

Re: Thundercrack Carnivale

[(Anonymous)]

--specifically because damn Adloquium's entries are making me wish people could win with multiple entries. both of these fucking rule.

...but it's not like I have dragons to fit them so idk that I'd be able to justify the expense in gems if they have to get printed as rejects. the struggle.
