Commentary and Notes from Scoring

Aladite's Winnifred

"Sweetie carefree wolf, need carefree companion for company, they wont bite^"

"She's a hot mess... WHAT?! I said hot!"

"I just love how you embraced every color on that wild pelt of yours! - Marine

"I can tell they had fun here! The colors are a bit clashy, but they don't shy away from it so respect. There is just enough Ultramarine shining through. The unicorn definitely needs a companion though."

"I love a good unicorn wolf!"

"The doodle is amazing!! Really cool to see corn and sunflowers together <3"

Ardaxia's Verdigris

"Verdigris has one of my favorite themes and my favorite colors. Just wow. And the little mood board? Such a great touch! I wish I'd thought of that. And the timber accent is amazing. I'm glad they didn't try to hide it. Ugh, I just wish the companion was a little more matchy. I don't feel like it adds anything to him unfortunately."

"To say meeting Verdigris was delightful would be an understatement! My, my fangirl heart flutters just thinking of his gorgeous outfit. You could even go so far and say that he has my soul in that lantern!" - Kurani

"Okay, guys, stop making me lose my mind! Seriously! Love being talked a bit through the design process and inspiration."

"He's a muse for sure, but the designer really pulled out his very essence!"

"This design is brilliant! I love the theme and the matchiness of all the apparel and accessories! Very well done!"

"A very simple bio to read and love! Mostly everything fits perfectly! The fins throw me a bit. Good companion choice."

Aurelia's HAWT DAWG

"Sing it out big guy! Great bio on this dog :D"

"He looks awesome! Aurelia did an amazing job with him!"

"I mean, sure he's hot. But, he's kind of, how do you say... narcissistic? Not even a companion that wants to stick around long-term..."

"The effort put in to the music is amazing!"

"I must say, HAWT DAWG sure gave me a startle with how, well... hot he was! However, upon closer inspection, I saw lots of customized apparel, so perhaps a sprinkling of more site apparel is in order!" - Kurani

"The hair throws me off immensely, although it contributes well. Also the version of This Girl is On Fire in the bio is funny."

"And no companion? The life of a star is truly lonely."

"I'm a sucker for joke wolves that lean into it fully."

Boopwolf's Kiera

"The scroll really makes her stand out in the dark forest area!"

"Love the colors on this wolf and the scroll looks great with her! Great choice! I think instead of the ruby steps though I would have chosen amethyst or sapphire to go better with her colors. Would have liked to see more on her but she looks pretty good!"

"Now, you are a very pretty wolf, don't get me wrong, but I feel as if minimal effort was put into your outfit! Perhaps bringing out some of that 'electric' theme you had in your haiku would make your outfit more appealing?" - Kurani

"The haikus are very cute!"

Eliyen's Amoren

"I thought I was going to be harsher on the hiding the other elements of her coloring. However, after reading the story and description lovingly provided, it is explained to matter of factly that I can't help but enjoy the subtly of it. So good. Go baddy!"

"Now, I can see how hard you worked to cover up those brown accents of yours, but I feel as if they could've been embraced! Additionally, I saw that most of your outfit consists of customized apparel, and I feel like the usage of sit apparel needs to be brought out!" - Kurani

"Bio is a bit of a mess, and I only skimmed... I like good grammar, or at least breaking the rules to add spice. The theme is unique though!"

"Very nicely done! Really nice work with the CAs and accessories matching both her colors and theme! A lot of thought was clearly put into this! All of it really comes together well with her genes and colors."

"A beautifully done, descriptive bio! Very consistent look! Companion goes well."

"This is too good, I love the wolf species and the angelic/hidden demonic side!"

"Absolutely stunning. Clever use of markings to seem more cohesive than it should be given the coloring lol."

Ello's Sapphrix

"The story seems to be cohesive with what we being told through her appearance as well. I think the old English poem(?) wasn't the best choice here as I get lost in trying to decipher what it's trying to say. Which maybe goes with the theme of witch in the woods?"

"Lore is gorgeous, WOLF is gorgeous, AAAAAAA!"

"She's just luvly!"

"It was so lovely meeting Sapphrix! Those olden haikus sure were foreboding. I do feel as if some colors were a bit off- perhaps a shift would make the whole outfit more rounded! I suggest swapping the Kit of the Woods shrooms for the Spotted Lorium Cap shrooms, and the Sapphire quill for an Amethyst one!" - Marine

"I like the matchy purple butterflies and basket, as well as the chaosium accessories! Cute story!"

"I love the artwork in her bio, it really makes Sapphrix feel like a real character!"

"This could have been a difficult wolf to customize, it I think this designer did a wonderful job! I love the art in the bio."

FloatinInSpace's Lizette

"She's so mysterious.... I can't tell if I'm intimidated, jealous, or both."

"Companion, ornaments and description even small doesnt bite;)"

"While you have a lot of plant-themed apparel on... I can't quite gouge your theme. Is it gardener? Forest spirit? Plant babysitter? I suppose we'll never know!" - Kurani

"There is a theme? Whereeee? Also the lack of name update or change. It's fine if you liked Lizette, but can you acknowledge you liked Lizette. Maybe the theme was 'Lorwolf Dev Update.' I do like her outfit. It is very cute. But why outfit?"

"A truly lovely blend of apparels!"

"The brown colors were used very tastefully! Every piece of apparel really feels like it was picked purposely!"

Icepaws's Aurelith

"Your story was heartwarming, so kudos for that. Still, there were quite a few clashing colors that didn't quite make sense. Perhaps the removal of some CA that doesn't quite match is in order!" - Marine

"I really like the idea you were going for! The apparel all looks good with each other, but not the wolf as much. I feel like a rainbowy theme might have worked better with her colors. But good effort there!"

"A very shiny dawg, such a tragic story, my heart ;-;"

"would have liked to see a cute companion to match ^^"

lalierre's Clover

"I think it could have been a difficult coloring to work with, but this designer did it perfectly."

"I see it, I got it, Clover , in the mistic forest, I like the vibe in the air, works so well mysterious~"

"Clovers story was very fun to hear! Now things make sense as to why she chose such a gloomy atmosphere. Yet, I wish there was just a tad bit more pink in the mix to really tie the whole thing together!" - Kurani

"Adorable! Her lore was interesting to read through, and I love how her branch ties into her story, although her theme is not knowable at a glance."

"The green base coat adds to that sense that she's been tainted a bit by Korvo. That said, I wish there was at least one or two Mika-inspired apparel here. Maybe even his boon from the story. But overall, a well executed idea and story."

"Very mystical and mysterious."

"She’s stunning!! Everything about Clover is just…WOW!"

limeygold's Meredith

"She's cute, she's sweet, I wish I'd gotten to know her more this season!"

"Companion doesnt bite, buy her a little friend to enjoy together in water under cherries, they like flowers too"

"You are simply gorgeous! Reminds me of my friend Sunrise... but thats off topic. My only comment is that the Water Hydromancy you're rocking could come in front of that cherry tree to really make the blue pop!" - Kurani

"A very simple theme that is still executed and communicated very thoughtfully. And her patterns are perfect the way they came for sure. I'm a bit torn on the ripple layering over the shoulder wrap, but she doesn't lose much cred for it."

"Very nice and matchy! I love the use of the water pelt and how well it goes with her blue accent and eyes. The pink cherry blossom theme also works really well! Very pretty wolf."

"She’s so pretty!! The blue and pink go amazing together!"

"A very simple design, but everything just feels right!"

Lunar Howlers' Folha

"I love love love that they chose to accentuate the pink accent in the accessories. Pink can be a lot on it's own, but it's a great accentuator. I really do feel like Folha is out here tending a cherry wood forest. I really enjoyed how they kept the story part shoft and sweet and I didn't have to scroll long paragraphs to get the vibe. Such great execution."

"He's the real deal. It's a rare thing in this industry. As a pair, with the designer, they're unstoppable."

"yeah use the tail for the theme, and give pink flowers to popp up the pink to popp up theme is super cool, I love pink leafes!"

"Very pink and green! Matchy but a little chaotic. The tail CA is pretty but maybe a little too bright? The green flowers look very nice."

"The companion seems like the perfect match! I love how flowy and magical everything feels!"

MystiTheWolf's Centauri

"Oh that is such a lovely story and the music is such a nice touch. I didn't listen to all of it, but I did listen to some of the story music as she requested. I really do feel like this is a lonely inventor on a secluded island surrounded by Ravens. So beautifully haunting."

"description is cool have the accents, the sparkle (✦/-✦-) giving so much too"

"Your story was so interesting to listen to- I was invested! I do wish you had brought out those gorgeous eyes of yours with some blue-green accenting apparel." - Marine

"Having music to read with is so unique and really lovely, what a great recommendation!"

purplepleb's Rosélune

"Rosélune? More like RoséSWOON, am I right?! But... I can't shake the feeling he's hiding something darker..."

"Companion match! looks like rose, and popping 'garden roality vibe' "

"Rosélune's outfit was certainly stunning, but I must say, those Aerofin fluttering about gave me a right old startle! Apart from that, I adored that lovely border you chose!" - Marine

"Love the fact that the bio lore contributes to the main lore of Daug Haus, in a way!"

"Hearing about Rosélune's glamourous experience was a fun read! Obviously a diva! And his Sparklequill is a great match!"

"Very nicely done! I like how CA was used to cover up the brown accent. I don't think the fish work though. Otherwise its very matchy and pretty!"

"Love the lore! There's a section for dawg haus and non dawg haus which is really nice to see. Plus the Haiku is hilarious and I respect that so much, gives a lot of character too."

"Rosélune was designed magnificently! His haiku had me laughing (:"

"The complementary colors are very nice! Matching so closely with the companion is cool."

sapnight's ardor

"Apparel fits to their lore, which is something I like!"

"I like your theme, and those matching colors are delightful! Even so, the layering of some of your apparel was a bit off- those veils didn't seem to make it over that cape of yours!" - Kurani

"No yellow apparel to match your theme that depends on yellow apparel? ;-;"

"The halo is beautiful and compliments the kagero very well! The companion doesnt feel quite right. Overall apparel covers the model very aptly!"

"A little clustered towards the shoulder area, but good job hiding the fact that the achievement silks don't exactly layer well with the Viscount Cape by using the Halo to draw attention away."

Snowfall's Altair

"Now, I love the concept of a bird guardian as much as the next wolf, so extra points for that. However, I think pulling some of those pink shades out would really make you stand out!" - Marine

"try with jeverlings, maybe try for earrings and more shiny? to give him a accent ! and doodles or any other for description"

"Lore good! Also... birb names..."

"Maned top here is so weird, but kind of cute that the white chicken is sitting on it? And ok, they didn't hide the pink, but they also didn't give it any opportunity to shine."

"The story is cute, and I like his birds friends! Though the peacock suits him more than the others. The sun eagle doesn't really work with the background sadly. I would have liked to have seen more brightly colored things to match his chaotic colors and patterns better."

"Every single piece has been thought about and weaved into the backstory, I love it <3"

Wolfster's Ariel

"I am absolutely swimming in the vision I need to make a wolf like this one day."

"I wholeheartedly believe the seaweed really is greener in her lake! I love that the colors are all visible, despite the heavy layering of apparel - it shows the designer put a lot of thought into a completely cohesive look! A huge fan of the mossy feet and the flowers tucked into that mane of hair."

"layering is cool! cas matching I very like it"

"While I love what you did, Ariel, I feel as if the layering of some of your apparel could've been tweaked- perhaps shifting the reeds in front of the water, and the eagle in front of the light?" - Kurani

"Okay, using Above the Clouds to work for water is ingenious!"

"I really like they embraced the muddiness of the wolf to add some character. It hardly feels like a wolf anymore. More ocean/swamp monster. The hair is a great touch! And the way it feels like they are just wading in the water is fun. Soaking up all the sunshine. Even the companion is water based! I really like the Wading theme here."

"I love the apparel that Wolfster used, it makes Ariel look really pretty!"

"Wow everything works so well together! I hope you find Dori ^_^"

XDragonfruitx's Glowworm

"His luminescence truly glows! I loved the interview he had, it was fun to read!"

"He says he's been doing Pageants for years, but I heard they found him wandering the woods just a few weeks ago... I mean it's obvious why he was scouted, and his designer clearly understands him on a deeper level, but that's not the point!"

"10 for creativity and clearness, know everything, full story, and cool meant for concept house daung."

"Glowworm is such a fun wolf! Their retelling of absorbing chaotic energy? Shivers down my spine!" - Marine

"I am a sucker for contrasting palettes. This is a very contrasting palette."

"I really see the vision of glowworms in a dark cave..."

Yoganman's Raider of Dreams

"I love the little piplin hiding behind her ear!"

"Your story is quite the tale! I can't believe I'm speaking to three beings while only speaking to one... but anyways. The only thing I can say is I wish there was just a tad more pink to balance out that bright maw you have!" - Marine

"Cool idea about companion, just next time give more attention for othey way things like her story not bound"

"Interesting lore... albeit with a lot of telling and not showing."

"I like how they gave everything a purpose. The name of the wolf is a tad odd, but it's cute and a bit nonsensical. Very solid wolf and I can tell they had a go of it."

"Absolutely peak, the lore is so sick hehehe... could use more of a celestial theme in the apparel/backgrounds though to really sell the lore."

"The attention to detail on weaving everything into the story is beautiful!"

ah- I kinda BSed my way thru my lore lol, so I can definitely get that people don't get the theme. I don't either, cuz I dunno it. The haikus are old English; there's translations at the bottom with the rest of the definitions, as well as which spells they are, but they generally have no ties to the lore other than that's what Sapphrix chants to use spells.

Okay! I love the main takeaway from all the comments was that the music was fitting.

In that case... go play OneShot! Especially if you like metanarrative games. In fact... I dare you to. It's an amazing work, at least to me, and there is no fourth wall. Really, it's more like the game is the fourth wall.

And, whoever Marine is (no seriously)... idea taken into consideration. Maybe lorium? Could work it in as oxidized copper, and have it so that her original copper set was oxidized during the Warriors of the Dawn thing...

Anyways, onto the list!
