Hi all!
I've been having trouble deciding on which color palettes I want to submit for the winter theme contest, so I'd appreciate it if anyone wants to share feedback!
Right now I'm especially struggling with picking one of the variations on an "Polar Bear/Ice Bear/Arctic Ice" theme I have for Morkko (I think I've been staring at them for too long lol) but I might post about other species in this thread as well. Please let me know if you have a favorite (or one you don't really like), and feel free to play with different traits if you'd like using the "load design by URL" feature in the generator.

Ice Bear 1





Ice Bear 2





Ice Bear 3





Ice Bear 4




Ice Bear 5

1 is quite striking. Those traits play really nicely with the white fading into blue, and the pop of yellow. Playing with the traits I was a little sad that the white disapears with most combinations of a lot of traits, but I do like the other colours, so maybe that's just my dislike of morkkos.

2 doesn't have as much contrast so doesn't really stand out to me.

3 feels the most bland to me, and I don't really like the brown.

4 and 5 do low contrast quite nicely. I think I prefer 4 slightly beccause it really leans into the icy pastel look.

overall 4 is probably my favourite, followed by 1

I'm also looking for an outside opinion on a Vulnyx design. Which one do you like better?

1. Boreal Forest Vulnyx



~OR~

2. Winter Bobcat Vulnyx

Thank you! That does help :)
I'll see if anyone else responds.

I agree - I like Morkko number 4 the most, followed by number 1 :)

Personally like Vul 1 much better ^^

Thank you for the feedback!

Deciding between two Nytekrie designs:

1. Cinnamon Nytekrie




~OR~

2. Winter Solstice Nytekrie

Thank you everyone for your feedback! Number 4 seems to be the favorite Morkko design, but a few people said they liked the darker M3 from number 5, so I'm submitting a slightly edited version of Number 4:



For the others, the Boreal Forest Vulnyx and the Cinnamon Nytekrie seem to be the favorites, so I'll be submitting those. Again, thanks for the advice! :)

Thank you again, everyone who gave feedback! The Polar Bear Morkko has been picked as one of this year's Sylesti Ice Sculpting designs!
