Time to rev up those favorites!

Another festival is on its way! That means it's time to show appreciation for other peoples' designs that you find truly captivating. Not all of them can win, sadly, but at least this way we can let those masters of color know that you appreciate their hard palette-creating work.

Hmm, let's see. There are so many lovely entries this year, it's tough to pick just a few. I don't know how Krin and Fai do it every fest.

These ones stood out to me in particular:

Xavion's Salmon Run Kelpari

I've already told her this, but I adore the color scheme <3 it's not really intuitively salmon colored, but I can't imagine another pet with the same theme without the colors this one has.

Winter's Cranberry Crisp Aeridini

I'm a sucker for tans/ light browns paired with darker pinks, and this design hit the balance perfectly. I am in love.

Savynn's Nephini design

I feel kind of like this one captures the essence of autumn really well. It's very strongly reminiscent of both sweaters and the color of outside when the leaves start to change colors. It's a really soothing theme, imo.

I'd be happy to get to own any of these, tbh <3

I'm probably going to post way too many of these, but oh well. I love way too many, haha.

First off I'll go with

Caledonya's Ghost of a Rose Ryori
I was thinking of something with a colour scheme like this, but this was already done, and done better. I especially like the concept. The reds fading to pink and the passing from vibrant/explosive spring to subdued, chilly fall.


Hundenelsker's flawless Black Magic Griffi. This colour scheme. *This* colour scheme. I love it.

Said love of that colour scheme makes me love all others with similar ones. Like Aaronampora's Nevermore Aurleons.

Eimell's Honeycrisp Vulnyx
Seeing all the brown makes me appreciate these. Yes amazing, I want 12.


All of Mikazukichan's Day of the Dead sylesties. All of them. Here's an Aeri.

LunarStorm's Will'O'Wisp Faelora


Zelly's Spellfall Lupora


Every single one of Kalores's entries so far. Just. All of them. I even want the draeyl's!


Several of Arkhantha's pets. But especially her Ghostly Lighira


Junco's fabulous Flesh and Bone Faelora


And that's all at the moment. Odds are I'll add more. Haha.

Of course I'm bias towards my own but here are some I really like from other users:

AaronAmpora's Ephemeral Ryori


Winter's Pumpkin Spice Lighira


Xavion's Harvest Moon Ryori


Sonatine's Pumpkin Luffox


Savynn's Maple Spirit Luffox

Winter's Enchanted Bulbori and Kelpari designs:
Such gorgeous color contrast between the dark purples and bright golds! <3



As well as Winter's Zombie Lunemara, because there's little I love more than zombies <3


Elise's Dripping Leaves Lunamara! I love the image that the name implies, and the look is perfect to go with it! Like an evil forest of doom! >:D


AaronAmpora's Basilisk Ny'vene - perfect species for the theme, and I love the color pallet! (And those eyes with the bone armor! <3)

Mikazukichan's various zombie themes! Especially this one:


Meowth27's Turkey Aurleon. I'm not usually that big on turkey, but that one looks good enough to eat! XD


And Meowth27's Zombie Kelpari! (ZOMBIE!!)



My own Autumn Forager Luffox, because he based on a red squirrel! (And I like squirrels - they're nuts!)

My Blood Howl Lupora, because those mutations are just gorgeous.

And finally, my Native Zolnixi, because she was a pain in the butt to design but turned out beautiful with a pretty natural color pallet!


Savynn's Autumn Magic Nephini - the bright glow really gives it a magical shimmer. <3

The admins definitely have their work cut out for them on choosing the themes this time around! I took over an hour just picking out those, and I was tempted to add on so many more but I didn't want to make toooo huge of a post. XD

Thanks!!! I literally had Indian Corn in front of me to use as a palette :)

Just going to give this a little bump because I really enjoyed seeing it used before, but no one posted for the last fest. Revive it for the week of love fest pets you guys? :)

Ah I never saw this. Neat! Okay well I'm partial to my own designs (which is probably why I designed them) so I won't post those. Although, I'll shamelessly plug it, 2nd post on Page 4 for the Week of Love 2015.

Sessi's Rose Petal Nephini


Taptothebeat's Chocolate Raspberry Sylvorpa


GoldGryphon's Twu Wuv Qitari
