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.

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.

"Softshore"
he/they | sorry i barely post lol
"[b]Fishtivities[/b]" (or any other terrible fish pun, really) - because nothing's more festive than slapping a fish onto your dragon's shoulder. Yup.

And "[b]Tidelady[/b]" because guardians need more love. [s]I'll probably modify this entry to be an accent instead of a skin...[/s] (EDIT: Decided to keep it as a skin.)

As per usual, constructive criticism would be more than welcome on both entries. c:
EDIT I: Added spurs + claws to Fishtivities. (Examples have also been modified to fit.)
EDIT II: Decided to keep skin, made the scales more visible.

I miss pings - DMs work better. Semi-hiatus.
Cool, going to resubmit my skins from the last contest. Since Tidelady was taken, I'll call it "Lady of the Tide."

and the version that makes her look glossy/wet.

Oh wow this popped up really quick
I edited my submission (once again), and also renaming it to a rough idea of
Tropicoatl
Hey I finally learned how to save as a png-24. Maybe that will solve a bunch of issues I had before.
Edit: Finished up my second submission, an accent I'm calling
Murasame
Changed the outlines to make it appear more soft
Fixed the outlines because it was actually sharp but the colors are soft
