The results are in!


Papers coated every surface of Ignis’ office, even the windows and part of the ceiling. Normally quite bright, the room’s lone row of fluorescent lights was now struggling to keep it feasibly lit, shadows dancing to and from as the red dragon tried in vain to separate the many, many entries his competition had received. His mutterings were indecipherable, even to his own brain, mouthing vague nonsense as he read, placed, scattered, re-read, taped, tore down, moved, discarded, dropped, picked up, and tried his best to avoid destroying the various papers depicting every imaginable form of Pixpet his people had provided.
Outside, a bell suddenly began to ring. For a moment, the dragon froze, then groaned. A fire had been reported somewhere in the city.
“I’m not through with you yet,” he whisper-screamed as he donned his jacket and hat, carefully tip-clawing his way to the door. “So many pets to choose from, and only one can win… and I have no time to do it with the summer fire season.” He paused most of the way out the door. “Maybe… I can have the others do this for me. I’ll have to talk to them soon.” And with that, the door clicked shut.
“Greetings, citizens. I hope you are all well! Welcome to the reveal of our competition’s winners, here outside our leader’s very own home, where it all began!”
Cheers from the crowd followed Ignis’ statement. He even spotted a few flags and signs waving high, some red and some orange. Representing himself and Komodo, he could only guess. Taking a quick breath, he gestured to a large, simple, three-step podium waiting on the stage to his left, each with a sealed envelope on display.
“Today, we gather to celebrate the efforts of all the incredibly talented members of our community. Thank you all for your amazing work, your dedication to Pixpet, and for the many sleepless nights I spent poring over your creations!” A few chuckles echoed through the audience. “However, after much debate, there can only be three winners. The decisions were tough, especially at the end of it all, as the entries were whittled down to the best of the best. In the end, a few ties had to be broken, so first I’d like to congratulate our runner-ups!
“In fifth and fourth places respectively, please give a round of applause to… AlphaLeo000 and Fairylights!” Ignis and the crowd erupted into applause as both artists walk onto the stage. Above on a projector screen, the pair’s proposed ideas display for all to see: one of a great white shark-like creature and another of a hedgehog with a literal hedge across its back. Ignis shakes their hands, quietly congratulating them again on their creations as they pass back into the crowd as it grows quiet again.
“Now,” Ignis continued, “to help me present our finalists today, please welcome our very own, very orange leader, Komodo!” Rising from the back of the stage come the much smaller lizard, waving and beaming as his followers voiced their excitement. He strode confidently to the lowest platform, plucked the envelope from its stand, and returned to stand by Ignis at the microphone.
The dragon cleared his throat. “In third place, leaving today with a prize of 50 Pix Tickets and a Giant Pencil, is…” more laughter.
Komodo expertly slid the envelope open, quickly read the page and said, “…Cat, with their entry of the Sandimp!”
Applause, whoops, and whistles greeted Cat as they stepped onto the stage, shaking claws with Ignis and Komodo before taking their place on the podium’s bottom step. The projector switched to an image of a mole—like Pixpet, with a star-shaped nose and a decorative armor-plated back.
Komodo collected the second envelope and the process repeated.
“In second place,” Ignis said, “after a very tough decision, earning 100 Pix Tickets and a blueprint, we have…” he pointed to Komodo.
“BK47, with her Cragdevil!” She hopped onto the stage, waving as the audience did their thing. The image switched again to a dragon/Sphinx hybrid with large, flat, wing-like limbs attached to its back. Shaking both claws, she moved to stand upon the second tier, briefly sharing a congratulations with Cat as Komodo collected the final envelope.
“And now, we are here at our winner,” Ignis said quietly. “It was a long road, a fun road, filled with exciting ideas. It is my privilege to present to you our winner, who has earned the right to be forever immortalized into our world. This person will receive a special badge, a unique item, an egg of their pet, and the right to have their pet placed into our world forever.”
The crowd grew hushed, waiting for the name. “Our competition’s winner, and their submitted Pixpet, is…”
Komodo expertly sliced through the seal, lifted the envelope’s flap, slid out the card inside and announced…
“…with the entry of the Pixpet Canibyte, our winner is Jaxydragon!”
An enormously loud roar erupted as streamers filled the sky. A slightly shocked-looking member of the crowd emerged, half-dazed as they mounted the stage, eagerly shaking the claws of both presenters before running over to the podium. The other winners each grabbed an arm, pulling them up to the top platform as the crowd continued to clap and cheer. Above, an image of a canine-like shark displayed for all to enjoy, the next Pixpet to become reality.
“Congratulations to everyone!” Ignis called over the noise. “I hope to see you all working just as hard in the future!” With that, both he and Komodo stepped away to let the celebration naturally wear itself out.


So, first of I would like to thank every single person who decided to enter my event. I just wanted to do something fun with my patreon reward, and was happy to see some of the enthusiasm around the entries that we received. With a grand total of 48 participants, it was certainly hard to decide on a winner. In fact, we needed to do a tiebreaker for First and Third places, so congrats on making our jobs harder. It was amazing to see this turnout, and I hope everyone enjoyed the chance to participate in something like this. So without further delay, our official ranking for the winners!

First Place Winner
Jayxdragon


Second Place Runner-Up
BK47


Third Place
Cat

2nd: 100 Pix Tickets and a blueprint.

The winning Pixpet will take a while to be implemented, as well as the rewards. (Besides PT, have those ready!) Have a hardworking Phoenix and Komodo working on both! For scores, every entrant has a right to know them, so just respond to your email entry and I will share the list. Thanks again everyone for the wonderful reception of this event, and just maybe we will see another chance in the future.
