I'm not going to really comment on skins because I never use them so don't particularly care about them. They seem nice but not anything I really gotta use? But yeah, why the hell does it feel like a Mirror skin (or two) wins every festival? What is up with that????

Accent-wise, I don't particularly care for Sylvan Swirls or Springly Sprouts because those sort of abstract-swirls-type accents have very little appeal for me. The also seem really plain when compared to some of the other entries. I like the rest of the accents and could see myself using them, and I'll definitely try out Botanys Back on one of my many Skydancers. My favorite is Garden Guardian even though I don't actually like Guardians as a species and own none, though this might convince me otherwise.

I didn't really keep up with the submissions thread, but from what I saw of it I would have most liked to see Hanami by TokiToki (fave), Mycelium Matters by Kryptographer, Renewal by Maybels or Raindrops by Seeker win.

+1 on Mycelium Matters. That one caught my eye instantly and I was reeeeaaaally hoping for it to win.

I mean it was a nice accent but it wasn't particularly outstanding to me.

I actually love that mirrors seem to get skins every festival because I'm a huge sucker for mirrors (and they don't get anything outside of festivals godDAMN)but that Sylvian Swirls accent just seemed....odd? As in, odd that it won. It doesn't really seem 'nature-y' outside of it being green and having vague leaf shapes. It's nice, don't get me wrong, but it hardly screams festival skin.

Wild Predator though, I absolutely adore. I might need to get another mirror just to have that skin permanently.
