Kalons-- a species with soft manes and even softer hearts.
Monitored in forests across the globe for years, these animals
have recently been declared naturally tame as well as sapient.
Scientists are asking the general population to consider adopting
Kalons for further study in their capabilities of intelligence.
Their shining tails are used for identification and showing off,
which is helpful when spotting another Kalon from afar. This
association with other Kalons is why they are head-over-heels
for any shiny or colorful item that they come across!
I had a fish pun but I forgot.
:cc
(Also omg please disregard the timer I left it open overnight and didn't work on it for a long time bc I played Sims.)
Edits:
-Standard tooth edit; shark teeth.
-Standard shine edit; Idek what to call those lmao.
-Common hair edit; a braid and then a loose strand of hair.
-Common tail edit; really fluffy tail. [Please see the note!]
-Uncommon short fur edit; not bald! Has a back fur tuft.
-Uncommon ear edit; long and tufted at the end.
-Uncommon pupil edit; slit pupil.
*The "scales" aren't actually scales aaa it's just patterned fur.*
PLEASE NOTE!
The "fins" on the back and tail are not actual fins!
They are styled fur and are purely for aesthetics.
The "fins" are styled upright with gel, and the ones at the ends of the tail are tied with fishing string.
If everything were removed, it would just look like a really fluffy tail.
GA Kalon 4/4!
It's been a real blast to be a GA aaa.
Here's a fierce-looking mackerel-themed Kal!
This contest is going to be a shorter limited impress-me.
- Code: Select all
[b]Username:[/b]
[b]Kalon Name:[/b]
[b]Gender:[/b]
[b]Writing:[/b] (600 words max!)
[b]Art:[/b] (One piece!)
[b]Extra(s):[/b] (Max 600 words and one piece of art. Interchangeable.)
For this contest, if you don't feel like writing (or drawing), you're able to swap 300 words for one piece of art (or vice-versa.)
That means you could have a form with all art (5 pieces) or all writing (1500 words) if you wanted!
However, please note that song lyrics/word-based decoration/words in comics will count as extra words.
Please use them wisely!
Prettying up and editing are okay.
Ends on Sunday, February 19th, 11:59pm EST.
(Brownie points if you include fish puns haha.)
(Also it would be v helpful and speed up the judging process if you included how many words you used.)
QUESTIONS HERE:
Can we do animations for the art piece and have it only count as one piece?
You are allowed to do animations, but it will only count as one piece if it isn't a "frame-by-frame story" sorta deal.
So you're allowed to have them running/swimming/lifting a paw up and putting it down/etc. and it would be fine.
For example, this would count as multiple pieces (as well as extra words,) while this would be fine.
Does adding custom drawn headers (like simple lines) to divide text count as art?
If the header doesn't include the Kalon/a part of the Kalon (ie. a headshot, eyes, etc,) then it doesn't count as a part of the total art.
