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.

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

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.

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.

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