<center>What We Need, What We Want, and How We Want It...</centeR>

Well, we have some new line art being ordered for Mystic Island Changelings. So with that in the works, we'd like to get some new certificates as well... That's where you come in!

Please Note: It is free to enter. You may also submit up to 4 entries... Good Luck! Oh, and if this (Click Here) is useful to you, fell free to use it...

Must Haves: Name, Owner, & Capture Date. Also some where near the Changeling should be a thought bubble. That is all that needs to be on the certificate, and with those exact names! Also, some where on the certificate needs to be our title Mystic Island Changelings. We are looking for 400 by 400. But will allow a max of 500 by 500. you may use the current Changeling line's for the cert. However, be aware by the time we are through those won't be used anymore.

Ceres' Prefrences: I like fields or landscape. I thought about tree's and the bulk being the information area. I prefere the iron look. Bubbles to squares. I love loops, overlapping, and layers. I prefere black or dark grey scale (except the landscape must be a light and colorful). Thin lines over thick and bulky. My favorite stones are Opal, Mother of Pearl, and Tanzinite... Preferes the title to be some what blended in. Likes readble text!

Kagome's Prefrences: She mentioned liking sun sets... Likes the iron and metalic look. Words to be pretty, and curvey.

Shiro's Prefrences: Something about boxes, and thick lines...

What's a Changeling: A Changeling is a heavy RP horse. They are very much like children, and demand attention. All actions acted out, and played upon a Changeling can greatly affect them. Everything changes them, hence the name Changelings!

Meet Ceres: The Will of the Island. Boss, Commander, and Chief!

Meet Kagome: A wonderful mod, and great friend! Owns the wonderful Changeling Val! She is also the book, random item, and Avaling artist!

Meet Shiro: A wonderful mod, and great friend! Owns two wonderful Changelings Bay & Forest! He is also our doodler, guild & thread beautifier, and keeper of the peace!

Meet Fauste: A wonderful mod, and great friend! Owns the wonderful Changeling Sunflash! She is also a thread beautifier, and records keeper!

Theres probably a lot more to us than just those little blurps; however, it isn't comming to mind. Perhaps you should try to get to know us, and the other owners. You'll come to find that we have a happy little community on Mystic Island. Although, we are no Disney Land...

Entries For Minkey55
Certificate 1 & Post

Thoughts:
  • Ceres: ^^ Yep that is close to something I'm looking for. Although the fence and grass you used is attached to the Changeling. So if it was used on the new cert it would have to be drawn, or the Changeling edited out. And, also gender wouldn't need to be on the cert. Spiffed job!!
  • Kagome: I like it, especialy the way you blended the different backround in with the old one^^.
  • Shiro: Very nice job, very nice flowing font. But the scaled text bubble it might be hard to see. But other then that good job.
  • Fauste: It's nicely done, but it seems a bit crunched for me. Though it's very nice all in all.


Certificate 2 & Post

Thoughts:
  • Ceres: I like your first one better. However, I do really like the way the thought bubble turned out. I do think though that it would be better if it were a solid color, instead of blue turning into a leaf patern. Also what really distracts me the most is that the main circle is green, and that would clash with some Changelings, and one in particular would blend in.
  • Kagome: It's alright but a bit plain... I think it needs a border. ^^
  • Shiro: Same as the first one, I like, but that darn thought bubble. The scales look cool but take away from the message inside.
  • Fauste: Again, it's nice, but with my computer's crappy resolution it's very dark and hard for me to read. mad

Certificate 1 & Post

Thoughts:
  • Ceres: Wow, this is really captivating me! I love it! However, I think that the owner and capture date box would look better with the same white as the thought bubble. Great Job!
  • Kagome: ooooohhhh pretty... **stares** It's wonderfull I always had a thing for words that werent always horizontal.
  • Shiro: I like, but somehow I think maybe if the background was a bit simpler it might be better, because the cert should be centered around the changeling, not a really cool background. Not that it's bad overall, but the background is kinda overwelming the cert.
  • Fauste: I like this one a great deal, it's very calming almost. :3


Certificate 1 & Post

Thoughts:
  • Ceres: Just about as captivating as the first. There are some things I really like, like the ribbon and box shapes. The name box is also pretty cute! However, like you said the background wouldn't work well with some Changelings. Perhaps a differnt back ground would be better... Great Job!
  • Kagome:OMG!!! its a sunset purdy!! I luvs it O_O... it really is a good one.. ^~
  • Shiro: Ah, much better. I think since it's darker and more passive colors. It doesn't stand out as much as the green from the previous one. Very nice job. My one problem is what about those changelings with Loooooong names... Like Rhythm Of the Rainforest. Can't really fit that unless the font is kinda tiny I guess.
  • Fauste: Again, it's a very nice job. ^^; Awesome impressive, however it may clash with some foal's colourings..


Entry For acedia123
Certificate 1 & Post

Thoughts:
  • Ceres: Well, before I even read that you rushed... I could tell that you did. It looks to me like you just put words and a bubble on the picture... That is someting that even I could do. Perhaps try again, but this time slow down a bit. Lets see what you can really do!
  • Kagome:hmmm.. that backround looks soooo familiar.. its good but i think it should be more original... I like the print though and how its just the outline of the letters.
  • Shiro: Ahhh, the old look from way back when. But the purple kinda looks off and light. Maybe a different color. I think you could have done a better job, keept trying!
  • Fauste: Personally, you could perhaps do better, it looks a little sloppy to me. You could have also gone with a different background if the ones offered didn't inspire you. :s Remember you don't need to hurry.


Entry For lia-w
Certificate 1 & Post

Thoughts:
  • Ceres: I really like this one. However, I really wish that the fuzzy boarder went all the way around, instead of cutting off where that other square is. I lik ethe black and white, but I'd be interested to see a color version. I really like the pattern and texture of it. Also Mystic Island could stand out a bit more. Being black, grey, and white makes it fade into the picture. Well done!
  • Kagome:I like the grey tones.. but then i thought that it might look kinda bland with a grey horse... seeing that its grey for a pretty long time.. I love the backround though....^^
  • Shiro: The gray is nice, but the shine up top make sit hard to read the Mystic island fully. But I think that although the gray looks nice, it might be a bit clashing for some of the more.. ahem... colorful changelings... Like stinking a Flamingo dancer in a room full of mimes. But other then that, good job!
  • Fauste: Very nice. But I'm a sucker for gray-tones ^^;. Though it could be more consistant. Fray'd edges all around instead of certain areas..even if it is lightly fray'd. x3


Certificate 2 & Post

Thoughts:
  • Ceres: I really like the effect of this certificate. The colors are warm and pleasing. I'd say the only dislike of mine is that text is almost hidden with the rest of the green. Perhaps if it was a differnt color and stood out more it would be better. *Wonders how Forest would look on that certificate*.
  • Kagome:
  • Shiro: Oh, much better, though again with the over shiny Mystic island. I know it shouldn't take ot much to fix that. But overall I Like it. The green's not overwelming and Most of the colors should work with the green background.
  • Fauste: I like this a lot, it's very happy feeling. Upbeat, happy. But then green tends to enduce happy feelings in me. n_n; Though mayhap a differeing background so it all doesn't just BLEND.


Entry For Risth
Certificate 1 & Post

Thoughts:
  • Ceres: I really like that horse symbol at the bottom. It captivates me... The text is fancy, yet readable. That is a big plus! The background is wonderful, seems to cover the likes of two mods with one picture. Wow!
  • Kagome:
  • Shiro: Very nicely done. By only problem with this is that the thought bubble has all those rings, pretty but a tad bit distracting. Mostly the one's before the main thought bubble. But other then that, I like. Good job.
  • Fauste: I like this, though it seems incomplete to me somehow. Like theres one more detail you could add to it. Though I have no clue what that could be. All in all I really like the affects of this one. ^_^


Certificate 2 & Post

Thoughts:
  • Ceres: Is shocked, is stunned... Like, WOW! It has cirles, squares, fancy type... the works. The only thing I wish is that the vine boarder went all the way around instead of just half. Also the box would have to be a tad bigger. *Wonders how we would fit Rythem of the Rain Forest in that box...*
  • Kagome:
  • Shiro: Very nice, simple yet complex. But again with those rippling three bubbles befor the main one. That and I agree with Ceres... How could you fit Forest's full name?
  • Fauste: This one is my favorite so far. I really, -really- like this one. *w*

Thoughts:
  • Ceres:
  • Kagome:
  • Shiro: It's not to bad, but the colors might class with some of our more exotic colored changelings, like yellow, green, or orange.
  • Fauste: I like the style of it. :3 It is just the fact that the lettering and stuff seems to be sucked in by the tags color wise, not to mention it's all a bit fuzzy for me. Though all in all it's very nice.


Chibi-Baka-chan
Certificate 1 & Post

Thoughts:
  • Ceres:
  • Kagome:
  • Shiro: I like, the background is complex, yet is soft enough in colors to match most changelings and soft enough to not overemphasis it'self rather then the changeling. I just wonder if the longer names will be able to fit. Darn you Forest... Darn you...
  • Fauste: I like this one a lot too...Glee it's going to be hard for me to choose. x3
