Cruinndrac Farms' First Contest Winners

Crossposting from HERE

Alright, this post is to announce the winners of the first Cruinndrac Farms contest. Shown are the two prize options.....

on the left, +1 Breeding charms, with a glittery heart on a blue and white swirled bead. These charms give the Wyrm of your choice one additional breeding beyond their normal number (which is determined by their rarity level) They are a single use, only good ONCE, so chose your Wyrm carefully!

The other prize option is our new "Breeder/Handler Chains." These are a length of chain, with a keychain clasp, and a cast charm on the bottom which is the symbol for Cruinndrac Farms. They will be available for purchase at conventions and online, but these three are the first ones released. They are intended to hang your Wyrm egg charms from, to show off your Squirm, and identify you to other Handlers. The one in the middle has random eggs clipped to it just to show how a chain looks when used....these eggs do NOT come with the chain, you would be getting a blank chain to attach your own Wyrm eggs to! ;D

So, without further ado.....the winners are as follows....

Too darn cute, this "love story" series of photos is adorable, and has a great flow to it. This pic was our favorite of the group.

Honorable Mention - SandySchreiber - [link]
Awesome shot, shows her Wyrm beautifully, in it's "natural environment", and the contrast of bright orange flower with blue/green fur is stunning. Yay complimentary colors!

CATEGORY DRAWN/SCULPTED
First Place - Moosee - [link]
Down to the tiny, iridescent peacock feathers in his tail, Moosee got every detail of Zuko beautifully. Plus, the high contrast lighting made for some really spiffy effect!

Honorable Mention - Sorrenfey - [link]
This one just.....oh my gosh. The cuteness made me squee, and the whole thing is lovely. Soft, gentle light, gorgeous colors and the expression on Oula's face is priceless.

Very obviously the result of a labor of love. Fun story, props for including a leviathan Wyrm, and an enjoyable read! Pus, a conservation message. Doubly whoot-worthy! :3

Loved it. Makes me think there is a pairing in the works come breeding season. ;3 Bonus points for each Wyrm having their own cute, quirky personality.


HANDLERS CHOICE
We have a 3 way tie, so I need you all to vote down below and let me know which you think should win Handlers Choice! Each currently has 2 votes, so we need a tie breaker!

The prizes work as follows. If you are the First prize winner, comment with if you'd rather have a Breeder Chain, or a +1 Breeding token. Whichever you do not chose, the Honorable Mention winner will receive. Note me with your shipping address, and they will go out at the end of the week. (if you have a summer teacup baby or babies being shipped out, it will just go out with them)

I want to thank EVERYONE for their entries! There were SO many amazing ones, I truly wish we could do prizes for you all! But at the very least, we had to do more than one winner for each category, since it was really hard to chose just one! (actually, it was hard not to chose a bunch!) You ALL did a phenomenal job on your entries, and seeing so many people getting involved in the game is wonderful.
