Dear RedSparkleWolf,
Considering that I worked effortlessly on her character,her background,her tendencies,being inspired on the spot who she would be and how I or any of my other OCs would treat her,and everything else in between along with the major fact that she is intertwined with my other OC I definitely have to say no. I wish you luck in Roxalew's contests and what not,but I won her fair and square and whether I use her or not is my decision. Besides that fact I would have rather preferred if you would have shown me some examples that I would possibly let you trade with for Alala(and they would have to be AMAZING for me to even think about it because I am an un-unusually strict art critic;aka not professional.To which I have to say would have to near the caliber of Roxalew's ((I'm talking about the design to trade for))who can truly breathe life into her designs.)
I know you're not begging and I respect that,but I don't appreciate this. Quite honestly I think you would have known if you found my entry how much I wanted her and loved her from the start. I'm not trying to seem coarse,offensive,or snide,BUT that just has to tie into my loyalty to my art,my creations(and yes,other than her design I technically created her),and basically anything creative I put myself into. To be blunt we're mother and child now(haha it is adoption after all XD).I seriously can not help this motherly intuition and disposition for anything that belongs to me that I have worked on and/or developed.
Sorry.
PS. If you ask anyone else for some adopt they won I suggest that you call them by the original number or name of the artist/designer of them gave them,BETTER YET to actually call them by the winner's name and species for them(now that would be brilliant since,hehe, that would show you've done your research and truly have shown as PROOF that you want the character so badly even after how much effort the winner had done and had shown for themselves) Because my Alala is not a 'snake tail sea' one. She hates water(unless it's really warm or hot,but then again that just makes it bearable) since (opposite to the majority of people who entered for her that I have researched) I made what looked like to everyone else (fins or water?) into BOILING fire.(and though you didn't mean to annoy me,that ticked me off quite a bit since it's such an obvious thing on my entry and I apologize here and now if I seem harsh.)(then again that would make it an obvious no right away..because it doesn't feel like thats respectful to the person who worked so hard on that character...or maybe thats just me. Probably cause I feel discredited to how bad I wanted and worked for her in the first place.)
I'm probably biased and what not when it does come to research of a character you do want to trade or buy for yourself,but THEN again I read EVERY SINGLE ENTRY(even the ones after mine) to ensure I would get her,and Roxalew DOES have alot of pages,but for Alala she was worth the time and energy <3.
Another suggestion would be that you actually look at peoples' entries(if such contests were to occur) just so you can get a feel of how much importance they put into their character. Frankly,although I don't write or draw her too much, Alala is one of my most developed OCs that I have ever done and I am very proud of her.
Then again BESIDES those reasons I would also require to know what exactly you would even WANT to do with her. What her(or Lord forbid you change her into a boy) personality,name,interests,background,and general bio would be.How much you would use her. What would be her level of importance to you. If you would use her publicly or privately. Because lets face it Roxalew does the same thing.She holds the contests so she can see how good they'll treat her creations and that they would be useful to someone else.
I might be too specific,but I don't care this is my precious babu we are talking about.
Along with my specifics also comes with the harsh reality that I usually don't admire monsters too much. My normal adopts I win,buy,and/or make are usually human. I am saying this because I checked out your gallery and you seemed very 'in-tune' with doing Roxalew-like stylistic monsters/creatures.
Again sorry,but NO.
DEFINITELY NOT.
As a mommy,amateur artist,hobby writer,or even as a normal human being with nothing but Alala I am too attached to give my baby away for a different one I have never even seen before.
I did a full complete bio,long poem,list of likes and dislikes,and her relationship with my other OC Isaline for her after all. It was a lot and I won't have that or my Alala go to waste.
Have a nice day.
Good wishes,
