Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gah, I need to pick out her outfit and distinguishing features soon.



On a side note, if someone else is able to get a Cirque character very similiar to Katarina made, the back-up concepts are:

-A male trapeze artist whose partner died during an act following a terrible fall. He blames himself for the fall and never wants to be on stage again. Still, he comes to Cirque because he knows nothing else in life. Though he intends to do simple rigging and such, eventually, he will get back on the stage, but will be terrified of working with others because he doesn't trust himself.

-A multiple personality-afflicted girl whose disease manifests itself physically due to the nature of her species. Basically, she is able to duplicate herself. She will portray herself as a pair of conjoined twins by stopping the duplication in the middle of it, but she will not tell people that she is not actually a conjoined twin until someone stumbles upon her secret.


It's always good form to have a back-up!

There are a lot of aerial concepts involving silks and trapeeze floating about, so I was pleasantly surprised to see you featuring the aerial hoop as the performance centerpiece. It's a very gorgeous type of act, and a good choice.

I do like your character, though it seems her personality could be fleshed out the tiniest bit more. Overall, though, I do like her, and picking such a disatrous time/place as WII Germany is excellent for character development. I love that choice alone.

However, I have one major issue with this that is sort of under my skin: the fact that two seperate people are playing the twins. If one of you were to win a flatsale and the other doesn't, it would be easy to make up a reason as to why one twin was late to join the Crique. That part isn't what is raising questions with me.

On the other hand, it raises quite a few questions if you look at the Secret Santa raffle. Some people have suggested counting you and your friend as one submission for the raffle, and if your "ticket" was picked randomly, you'd both get in: but the rest of us have one chance to get one character in no matter what, and you two would have the chance to get in together. That idea in itself seems quite unfair to the rest of us trying our hand, and it's sort of itching at my brain, if you know what I mean.

HOWEVER - I'm not dissing the concept at all, so please don't think that: I like this character a lot. You've got a legitimately solid idea going here...although I also quite like your backup idea for a girl with multiple personailities (though that just may be the morbid part of me, hehe sweatdrop ). Just keep working on the concept, I'm sure it can only get better. heart Best of luck to you as well!

I'm so torn on what outfit to put her in. Oy vey.

But Nim has been working on some excellent concept art that I can't wait to showcase. ninja

My apologies for being gone for so long. My first year of college just needed a lot more of my attention than I had planned on in the Spring semester. So, I am kicking myself for not trying in the contest, but I'll survive.

And I won't give up just yet. =)

I don't own the idea of having a twin, so don't worry about it. heart My back-up concept was to have conjoined twins that aren't really conjoined twins--scroll up for a clearer explanation--but I can hardly argue that my back-up should prevent you from going after your first choice. So again, no worries and best of luck.

Also, I'm still alive, folks!
