MYO Contest Results

After an extremely difficult round of judging- we must announce the winner!
Since we had 5 entries, there will only be one winner for this contest.
However, since all 5 of these entries were of a very high quality, everyone does get at least 1 runner-up prize!

Please do read to the bottom as well for a little announcement!

The judging took into consideration not only the design of the Paralogos itself, the creativity of it-
but also how the companion and the Paralogos interacted or matched.
All of the entries ended up scoring very closely- this was a tough one!

And the winner is...


Arquerite 's Ratel & Indy!

These two really look like a match made to last!
The bonus characterization images & how they wear matching accessories was such a nice touch!
It really made the difference- it wasn't required, of course, but we can't wait to see their adventures in Lingua!

Arquerite will have Ratel & Indy made official for free, and also receive the aforementioned bonus artwork from both mewhaku & tamingofthesandshrew !
(1 shaded fullbody from each artist mentioned- we will be reaching out!)


The admins would like to also congratulate the other entries on their qualities, and so we've added some comments below.
Each of the non-winning entries will receive one randomly selected companion card from mewhaku's hoard.

You will also have the ability to make your Paralogos & Companion activated for a discounted INK price:

Level 1: 40   / 200 
Level 2: 50   / 250 
Level 3: 60   / 300 

You can just go right over to the Ink Market and just state that it is your Contest MYO slot. 
Then you can choose to purchase it with INK or Points. 
We hope to see all of these great designs activated and in the group!

As a participation bonus in this contest... all entries will be receiving a new, mysterious item as well: a Snapshot!





Oni & Bakeneko - Shadonut

You've won a Normal Companion Card!
You really pushed Paralogos anatomy here- Oni just looks super strong!
Your use of the red oni/blue oni masks was also a lovely reference.



Satsuki & Azuki - SpicyIsopods

You've won a Normal Companion Card!
You not only were very clever with your Level 1 Magic choice, but the relationship between the Paralogos & companion is very fun!



Feesh & Fanta - 4sparkles

You've won a Mythical Companion Card!
Your concept for the "Fishbowl" design was not only rather unique, but your Level 1 Magic choice is adorable!



Cainan & Coleth - absiste

You've won a Dinosaur Companion Card!
Cainan looks very built, and again, the anatomy was used to great effect.
We also couldn't picture a better companion for Cainan if we tried! Nice work.


The admin team also thought about the MYO process during this contest-
So we will be utilizing this opportunity to now change a rule for Ink distribution for the first Make Your Own Paralogos image:

From now on you will be awarded ink for MYO submissions.
We will also be retroactively distributing Ink for all MYO Paralogos images that were submitted up until now.
We originally had this rule in place to not 'give an advantage' in terms of Ink distribution for official adopts versus MYOs.
But we realized that it doesn't really hurt, and is more beneficial for members than not.

It will take some time to go through all of the older MYO images and distribute Ink, so please be patient!
Thank you all for participating!


A special message from mewhaku:
Thanks for helping make my birthday so much fun! It was nice waking up Saturday and seeing all the designs too.
