CK: Haha! Perfect. I didn't know that existed.

Edit: Oh gosh, there's a bunch of them!

CK 12-29-2014 12:03 PM

Yeah. There are tons. xD I just picked a random one.

Updating for the last time before I sleep!

I'm glad that these islands were in the contest! I didn't even know about Vile. [ninja]

It's a mixture of my two nicknames! "Chella" (my IRL nickname) and "Klawzie" (my artist handle online). xD I chose it wayyy back when while joining Gaia because I wasn't sure I wanted to poke around Gaia as "Klawzie".

To tie this in with the first thing, another IRL nickname I have is "Chelly" (pronounced "Shelly"). So we have Belly, Jelly, and Chelly as AAs. Knerd, Yan, and Mama Juru need a "-elly" nickname, obvs.

Haha! That's great! I love it!

Good name, good name. [yes] Haha thanks for sharing! ♡♡♡

Island Represented: Merhket
Commentary: Modern Merhket embraces other cultures to have equality (the stars told them to) so there is a touch of influence from other islands. Including using a greek-esque pillar(milos)... except they filled it with fish. And it wasn't really useful to hold up the tent for the celebration since the tent roof is so high.... They did get some Dainae folded paper lanterns though!

I'm really interested in how many of you Merkhetis have chosen to go bald. xD It's kinda cool. xD (Not that I don't like the unusual hair colors people - I just thought it was interesting.)

Updating!

Dystopia 12-30-2014 01:11 AM

I have a secret fondness for going bald.

Elirona 12-30-2014 01:14 AM

I don't like going bald because some headgear looks weird if you don't have hair. :c

Esmme 12-30-2014 01:36 AM

Any with dreads yet? :O

---------- Post added 12-29-2014 at 05:37 PM ----------

*edit* Yes! 3 with dreads!

Elirona 12-30-2014 01:41 AM

I really like the star eater dreads. :P

Esmme 12-30-2014 01:50 AM

Agreed. They're so fun haha

So many lovely entries. :D

CK 12-30-2014 04:12 AM

Yeah - that's my only issue with bald/shaved styles. Headgear can often look weird-as that way! But I do think it's cool when people use bald/shaved effectively!

Updating. :3 And, yeah, I'm going to have so much fun properly going over these later. :3

---------- Post added 12-29-2014 at 10:13 PM ----------

Oh - I should give a proper warning that it's a little over an hour before I'm meant to come in here and switch the contest over.

So if you have any last minute Milos or Navarro entries, get them in before the contest is closed! And if you want to get full points for your Merkhet or Vile entries, same warning!
