CK, thank you so much for clarifying how Vile is pronounced, I have been wondering about that for ages.
Also, the combo of traditional Japanese and western fantasy styles is .
I already knew that I loved Vile, but now Vile and Gwydion are tied for first place in my heart.
Now, if we just combined them into one mega-style of elven Japanese Art Nouveau fantasy with some cosmopolitan twists... *explodes*
You're welcome for the pronunciation guide. :3 Vile is another of my favorites too. xD Maybe you could imagine someone from Vile moving to Gwydion and setting up a business or a resort or something (or vice versa). Then you could get influences of each. 8D
I ought to add that there are subtle touches of eastern influence in the lowlanders' costumes too, but from samurai culture. But I didn't want to confuse the issue and have people submit people in kimono to represent the Krayne, so I left it out of the description. Just passing it on for anyone who is interested. xD (It wouldn't affect scoring for a Krayne avatar at all.)
The moment I say I have no idea... I get an idea. I the circular workings of my brain

Time to pay him a shadowy visit. He'll never see me coming. A man who lacks honor doesn't deserve a second chance. Honor is such a thing that saves one man, and destroys another. This ignorant pup will receive the "honor" he deserves: a nice pie to the face, obviously. What? Don't look at me like that. What were you expecting? Image:

Sorta thought of Yuffie when I saw her. Must be VERY ninja-ish!

Oh, oh oh! Question! Is anyone interested in being part of a group submission? I have a group going, and happen to need a few people. ;) I would love for you to message me so we can see if there's a spot for you to fill. *nods happily* Looking for two, actually!
@Belly: Is there any limit to how many we can do in a group submission? >___>"
I'm not Belly, but there's no limit to how many different users can be in a group entry, as long as they aren't doing a group entry with someone else. :)
Will get these new submissions up pronto! It's really fun to see where you guys take these. :3

It's been a long day and now it's starting to snow hard, but at least Chex has reached a shrine where hopefully she can take shelter until morning. Image:
*giggle*oops! Es needs some sleep. XD Belly runs another thread. Derp. Thank you, CK!
No worries. xD It actually happens more than you'd think. (Like, even other staff have called me "Belly". It's funny. xD )

Also ... what does your name stand for? :o
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.
This isn't a group entry, but I was just tooling around, came up with it aaaand felt like sharing.
Merry Cthulhumas. And a happy R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn

Must be VERY ninja-ish!
