I wanted to say thank you to those that have participated thus far, and give you all individual feedback per say. So please look for your name below, and see what suggest and or comment I have made towards you.

@Splov...All of your designs are relatively cute, outside of your barbeque design. It actually looks a bit menacing. Don't get me wrong, it still is a talented design and I do like it. Your patriotic designs, are well done...However, with your puff piece is there a way to swap out the green leaves with either a red/white/or blue coloration to make it pop more? That is only a mere suggestion there. As for your fire cracker/stick design, seems more reminiscent of a camp fire than a fire cracker with all the brown in it. Maybe a name change on that design would be better suited here? Maybe "Summer Campfire"...Not really sure, it is up to you but I just honestly do not see the fire cracker part. Maybe if you explained a little more on that. Outside of that it really is a cute design.

@Xiao...You have made some interesting design choices for this challenge. The designs are well thought out, and are very neat to see. I can completely understand your Gunpowder design, as that is completely and utterly true. Doesn't matter what city limits, restrictions, laws, by-laws, or what have you are in affect everyone around me does that. I fortunately only do the firework display on the 4th of July. As for your Whitewater design..I can understand doing something adventurous like that. So it is acceptable. Though, it is rather dark in color for rapids and water. Is there a way to lighten it up a bit, or make it resemble water a little more? Just a suggestion really, but it is up to you.

@Bunny....You made a beautiful design with your Morrkko. It is vibrant and full of rich green colors. And your Nytekrie is just adorable. Keep up the great work!

@Lenore...You are a very talented designer. All 3 of yours designs are nice. I really don't like Puffs, but that is a very beautiful design that I actually enjoy seeing. My only question is, with your Star-Spangled Memory design. What is the reasoning behind the use of the leaves and flowers? Is that to represent like a memorial wreath? Just curious...

@Ceru...You have very lovely designs, and I am glad to see so many coming from you. I can see the name of each truly coming from each design. They are very well done. Keep up the great work!

@Encryption....I really like each of your designs, as they were all beautifully done. Thank you so much for your first entry into this group. I am glad to have you aboard with the rest of our D.C.U. family. My only question for you, is why have the little image of the adult female vulnyx? I am just curious, since the male was sized at 250.

@Freki...I can honestly see what you were going for with the Canyon Shrubbery design, however I do not really see your 2nd design. You stated that it was a blueish green in color, but all I see is a mixture of deep greens. Maybe swap them out with various shades of the bluegreen color you spoke of in your description maybe? It is just a suggestion.

@Oreo...I think you did a very nice job on this challenge. I can see the direction you were going with your first 2 designs. Your last design however, I am not really seeing a Riverside Campsite. Maybe had some blues of some kind to represent the water that the campsite is near by with. And or some various orangish reds to show the campire maybe. You don't have to do anything with the design, as my suggestions are just that suggestion. Otherwise, keep up the great work!!

@Limor....Though I do like your pretty designs for this challenge, I am not sure how they fit with the Memorial Day theme. Maybe you could explain to me privately hon if you do not wish to do so here.

@Art...I really love your designs hon, you did an amazing job on this challenge so far. Keep up the excellent work!

I am sorry I did not see your post during my initial update. I will be sure it is part of the next one. Nice design hon!

For the puff design, the yellow/green leaves were supposed to be like confetti (in some parades I've been to there's a lot of hecking confetti)

For the firecracker/Stick I couldn't think of the name but they're actually called Sparklers XD I can still change the color ( I didn't know what to do and since they're wood I just used a light brown ) or I'll just correct the name of that's fine and easier to see

I would've done a lot more on the last design. But the fact that I only used genes and that Nytekrie mutations do not look the greatest, really put a ton of limits on me.

forgot to change size xD fixed it now

Youre exactly right. I wasnt sure how well it would come across, but felt the need to include it.

Oh for my golden plaque design it's based on a war memorial in my town and poppies are based on the remembrance poppies, which are flowers shown to represent fallen ww1 soldiers.

NOTE! I have new favorite species there are so many in fact I will just list the ones that aren't my favorite: Ny'vene, Nytekerie, Draeyl and Ferikki (seriously I love the rest)
