Entries must be your own creation (Submit your own art. No copyrighted characters). The use of texture is discouraged. Please do not watermark your contest submissions. Winning entries will become an official flight rising skin or accent, and may not be reused or reuploaded as a custom skin at a later date.

A reminder to read the [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=skins]skin & accent creation rules[/url]. All entries must abide by these. [b]The exception and addition to the existing rules is that we are are requiring all [i]holiday contest accents[/i] cover a minimum of 5% of the dragon, and a maximum of 50%[/b] (this is a change from the custom accent rules, which state an accent may be 1%-30% - this rule still holds true for all non-contest accents.) Accents are recommended to be markings rather than apparel, which is provided through the festive favors shop. Here some additional reminders for skin rules:
[LIST]
[*]Skins must maintain an intact shadow and line art layer that are darker than the colors they sit on top of.
[LIST][*]Do not erase into either of these layers.
[*]Do not make them so light that they do not appear distinctly darker than the colors that they rest on top of.[/LIST]
[*]Remember that skins and accents may not cover up line art or extend beyond the silouette of the dragon.
[*]All submissions must be 350x350 png24 with transparency. Large previews are fine, but we need the correctly sized image for judging.

Yay, this year I actually remembered to participate!
I have yet to decide on a name for this accent, I'm torn between "Cosmic Visitor" and "Star Eater". Let me know which one is better! :D
Star Eater it is!
Edit./ Here's a preview!

I may edit it a bit more, but this is where it's at now. Enjoy and, as always, send me some feedback, it's the best way for my skills to grow!
Edit: transparency fixed on the accent itself...still trying to figure it out for the examples: Thank you to @batmom @Xemni @polarterrier for helping me out with the transparency!

It may be too big to be considered an accent, so it may have to be submitted as a skin. [url=http://drigdrags-rising.tumblr.com/private/96167096917/tumblr_nb4eymCNHN1teirpi]Here are some previews[/url], courtesy of the scrying feature's randomize!
