I really don't know what to call this one tbh.

Critique edit:

Didn't even notice that the solar champ markings had another color tbh.

Critique for Sairento
The Ancestral Deity Cape really fits the era, and I also find the Nebula Crown very classy as well. The colors match beautifully and there isn't really anything that feels out of place. Basically, your design is beautiful and you nailed this week's challenge.

I found C2 a bit dark compared to the rest of the design. I changed C2 from 383838 to BDBDBD to bring out the eyes, cape and crown essence(?) It would also give a bit more depth to the overall design.

What do you mean? As in, critique the new design with the restricted traits?

Yes, that would be correct. That way Limor can make the correct altered piece based off your revised critique. If not that is ok, Limor will have to based it off your first critique but figured to ask.

Critique: Alright first of all Qitari are one of my favorite species. I especially adore the wings you choose for them. Although the one thing I suggest changing is the A1 form the pure white to a slight off white. This is due the fact that at least one your male the Solar Champ markings actually were hidden due to A1 and C1 being the same color. Although the female did not have this problem.

IF you are being PINGed here please take a look at your design post. Remember only restricted traits are permitted for this challenge. Below is a more direct message to why is holding you back from being eligible at this moment.

@Limor...You need your altered piece placed with in your design post. If you cannot fit it in there with all the designs you currently have, go a head an remove some of the ineligible ones to make room. Please correct this before deadline to be eligible.

@Art...I love your concept and design hon, however remember restricted traits only. The only real thing that is holding you back since you corrected that, is that you need to move the reference picture. You need to place it before the original design or after the altered. The original and altered pieces need to be side by side with nothing in between so we can compare side by side.

@Shimeree...The only thing holding you back at the moment is not having an altered piece. That is no fault of your own. If no one else posts a design then come deadline your post will be eligible. We still however have a few designers that need to post. So please check back regularly to see if you have a critique or not.
