Hey everyone, I have been told the TOP 3 will be up shortly.

Whoop hey everyone! Heres the top 3 for this weeks challenge:
Top 3
Everyday Heroes Challenge

1st place ~
Sophiegraces Design:
Everyday hero of choice: Doctors


Amazing job this week! My only comment would be that the design felt a little plain. Maybe adding some blues or just some more color would help! Cod Celticnuru for 20k and pick a pet from one of the group tabs in their stable~

2nd place ~
Akiras Desin:
Everday hero of choice: hotel staff


Good job this week! My main thought was some of the grays felt a little too dark. Maybe making them slightly lighter would help. Except an item coming soon~

3rd place ~
Celts Design:
Everyday hero of choice: Vet


Nice design! They were slightly dark for a vet who I would imagine wearing white. The lup also felt like it had too much black. Uh I dunno what else to say.

"Pets" Challenge
(MANDATORY CHALLENGE)

Welcome one and all to the mandatory challenge. We are doing a challenge based on something close to our hearts this time. We are doing a challenge based on our pets. If you don't have one, then be sure to follow the requirements and do one based on a pet you wish you had. We decided to do this challenge based on pets not solely on the amount of votes it got, but also because of how they have influenced our daily lives. The highs and lows the brought about. How they have been there when we needed them the most. As well as the times they brought that smile to your face. As you can see, I believe "Pets" are a part of the family. They are not simply pets but family. You might not see them the same as I, or you might see them as so much more. That is why you have this chance to experience your compassion and love for your pets. Just remember to follow the requirements, and remember that participation is a must by one and all!

~REQUIREMENTS~
1.) Must keep everything to one post. (Yes you can edit)
2.) Must provide a reference picture of your chosen pet/furry loved one.
3.) Using only colors seen in your chosen pet's reference picture, create a sylestia pet design of your choice. Your can use any species, and any trait you want. So long as the colors used are seen in your reference picture only.
4.) Tell us a little bit about your chosen pet of choice.
**(The 1st to post will be excused from requirements 5 & 6)**
5.) Pick one design from the designer post just before you. Write a brief critique that describes specifics of what worked well. And what did not work well, after which make some helpful suggestions on what they could change that would improve their design.
6.)Please also include with this critique a copy of their design, with a side by side comparison of the suggestions of improvement that you made. (example: Their design next to their design with your suggested improvements.) Be sure to PING the designer as well as the challenge host.

~RULES/GUIDELINES~
1.) All group core rules are in play.
2.) Ask for help if you need help.
3.) Absolutely no opting out is permitted for this challenge.

~EXAMPLE~


Meet: Patrick


Patrick is the love of my life outside of my hubby and children. He is a kitten I rescued that had a series eye infection. He was under weight too. When I took him in, he only weighed 3.2 pounds when he should have been closer to 5. My family referred to him as the "Zombie" cat. His right eye was bulbous and so gross to look at. But not to me. To me he was a lost soul. Something in him called to me on another level. I took him regardless of what others thought, and got him fixed up. Over $700 dollars later (His eye enucleation/removal, all his shots, &neuter), he was able to recover fully and safely. He hasn't forgotten whom gave him his 2nd chance at life. Now close to 7 pounds, my fur baby whom I refer to as my "One eyed wonder kitty" is doing well. He gives me lots of cuddles and is a great addition to the family that everyone loves. His only real bad habit is he likes to trip me up when I need to pee real bad. But I can forgive him for that. He and I have been through so much together, I view him with so much love as if he were another child of mine.
