{Garden Noms} Introducing the Night Noms - Noms have been certed

[TheLeet]

We've finally reached Garden Nom #100 and to celebrate I'm releasing a new breed - the Night Nom. They're lop eared bunnies that only come out at night. Garden Noms are more like butterflies - Night Noms are more like moths. They can still have colourful wings but the colours tend to be a little bit more muted.
I'm planning on keeping these quite rare so there will only be 6 Night Noms available to the general public of secundi: 3 boys and 3 girls. After they have been released the only way to obtain a Night Nom will be through breeding. I may give one or two away in private trades but it's something I'll try to avoid doing XD

So today I'll be giving away the three males. When the giveaway is over I'll hold auctions for the girls <3

The Night Noms:

#100 - Tan boy goes to BabyKittenCandy


#101 - English Spot boy goes to SeaCrest


#102 - Californian boy goes to Spixy


There will be three free raffles - one for each boy. You may only participate in one of them so choose your favourite Nom carefully

for #100: post a non-hotlinked picture of the night sky.

I love the 'tails' on the wings :3  And it was so hard to choose which raffle to participate in, they all look so cute.

[TheLeet]

Thanks. Comet Moths are beautiful but your picture doesn't seem to be working

[BabyKittenCandy]

[toffeeca]

How about a night sky picture I took myself Cygnus is hiding in there

[Math]

It's a Leopard Moth!

[Math]

Does this mean I get my first? *doesn't think anyone else won him yet*

What are the usual BINs for these auctions? I want to try to get a female for him, assuming I won him. <3

[PonyMama]

Lady Ascot: Imbeciles! The garden is planted with white roses when I've specifically asked the red.
Alice : You can always paint the roses red.
Lady Ascot: What an odd thing to say.

[toffeeca]

Math, this is a raffle, that means everyone who posts the required thing will get a chance to win. This doesn't end until Sunday at 7:00 Secundi time. So it's not over yet.

[Math]

Oh, I just noticed that. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed. *crosses fingers*

[TheLeet]

Yes, what toffeeca said

Also I don't put BINs on auctions so I have no idea how much they'll end up being. I'll make it so that people can only be the high bidder on one Nom at a time though - so everyone will get a fair chance <3

[Math]

What have Noms in the past gone for? (I'm guessing these will go for a bit more, but just to get an estimate)

[Victoria]

Contest #101
"Miss little red riding hood
Little red feeling good
Little red bathing nude
Little red collecting firewood..."

[TheLeet]

What have Noms in the past gone for? (I'm guessing these will go for a bit more, but just to get an estimate)

I can't remember, to be honest >.<
Maybe you could just do a search for past garden Nom threads in the general booths and the trading section? That should give you an idea

[Math]

Okay.

If anyone is interested, I'm going to be trading away a Kennel dog or two to raise SG to bid on a girlie. <3

I love the 'tails' on the wings :3  And it was so hard to choose which raffle to participate in, they all look so cute.

That's what it was meant to say. It's PI's fault, PI has no = sign between the word url and the actual url.

[TheLeet]

Oh right. I was wondering what went wrong there because it looked right to me XD

[Neocridders]

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiney nose.
And if you ever saw it
You may even say it glows.

Oh, how exciting. I'll be waiting for auctions, just in case I can't win a boy here.
But oh my goodness, what a great idea! Night Noms! Wow! Such an idea! And they are so cute!

[TheLeet]

I'm glad that people like them

They're one of the first things I drew when I got my tablet and it was a bit of a struggle. I made so many changes to the lineart >.<

[SeaCrest]

Brilliant shades of scarlet
Color the evening sky
This is more than your average sunset
Almost like the sky is bleeding, from a broken heart

Crimson is the rose, given by my love
He says, "It reminds him of the color of my lips"
The first time he saw me, across a crowded room
My lips colored with crimson, like this lovely bloom

Vibrant rusty red the color of Ularu
Wonders of nature's beauty
Stun me through and through
Grasping at my heart, coloring it with pride

Only a primary color
But transformed into many hues
Red is not just red
Depending whose eyes you are looking through

Telling of a thousand emotions
Love, lust, anger and passion too
Red is the color of life precious blood
A magnificent color, it is true.

[PonyMama]

Sorry I didn't realize the whole quote/poem had to be bolded, I thought you meant just the word red.  Glad it still counted though, thanks Leet

[TheLeet]

It's ok. I can see how it could have been misunderstood so I let it count anyway

[Blondie_63]

You make this hard to choose I love all three of them they are gorgeous!



I love thunderstorms so this picture came off extremely beautiful to me...I may be the only one that it comes off as beautiful to but that's ok with me.

[TheLeet]

It is really beautiful so you're not the only one ^^

[springacres]

This was very hard to choose from as I love all three of them...but I knew the perfect quote for that English Spot boy, so I have to enter for #102:

And still on a winter's night, they say, when the wind is in the trees,
When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
When the road is a gypsy's ribbon looping the purple moor,
The highwayman comes riding--
Riding--riding--
The highwayman comes riding, up to the old inn-door.

Over the cobbles he clatters and clangs in the dark inn-yard,
He taps with his whip on the shutters, but all is locked and barred,
He whistles a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there
But the landlord's black-eyed daughter--
Bess, the landlord's daughter--
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.

                                               -from The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes

And blondie, that is a gorgeous night sky picture.  I love the combination of deep purple clouds with the orange-red sunset and flashing white lightning

[TheLeet]

The English Spot one is number #101
I'll just assume you meant that. Let me know if I'm wrong.

[springacres]

lol, yeah, I did mean #101 XD

[Keilin Alyr]

Oh, these little guys are precious! Welcome to #100, Garden Noms! Also, baby Hazel needs someone to keep him company.



I know, probably not what you meant. I like being silly while staying on theme. XD

And if any of the lady Noms have luna moth or hawkmoth wings, I'm going to be hard-pressed to not give you USD bribes. Those are among some of my absolute favorite insects. =)

[TheLeet]

Haha, don't worry there'll be no bribery necessary - they'll just have standard Nom wing patterns. I'll keep that in mind if I ever find myself desperately needing money though XD

[SweetCaroline]

[Spixy]

Oooh very purty <3

[Keilin Alyr]

Haha, don't worry there'll be no bribery necessary - they'll just have standard Nom wing patterns. I'll keep that in mind if I ever find myself desperately needing money though XD

I'd hate to ruin the planned exclusivity of the Night Noms, which is the only reason why I'm not trying to bribe you seriously now. But I usually have a little extra money saved aside at the end of each month, which I reserve solely to spend on hobbies and fun things. I think a special Nom, Night or normal, would be worth it. =)

[TheLeet]

I generally don't sell things for USD but like I said - if I find myself in desperate need I'll contact you

[Keilin Alyr]

Sure thing. =) Though here's hoping you're never in desperate need, goodness. XD

[Kadana Sorano]

Ohhh I hope am around for auction!

These are beautiful, such a nice surprise you've been making/sitting on!

Oh, will they be breedable with the regular Noms, or only with other lop's?



*crosses fingers pic is small enough to fit thread*

[Kadana Sorano]

Annnd it was too big and now we have scrolly stretchy thread, I'm Sorry!  *pokes PB* It looked smaller there, I swear!

[TheLeet]

They will be breedable with regular Noms but you need a special item to produce Night Nom offspring

Have a look at the breeding thread:

[Rosewood]

Wow! I love these.

[Rosewood]

Here is the image non-hotlinked. Sorry for hotlinking in my post, but was being rushed by mom & missed the part about the hotlinking. Was told no editing so am reposting the pic & hoping it is ok.

[TheLeet]

That's fine

[Rosewood]

Thanks!

[sera]

They are all so adorable! *__* But i could not resist the black and spots. . . xD;  It's not a very /good/ shot of the night sky, but, hey.  It's Chicago. xD

[Harpy]

Thank you YLO, xD  Yes it is PI's fault that I never remember to put the = in xP

[Goddesss]

[Conroy]

Red, red wine
Go to my head
Make me forget that i
Still need her so

Red, red wine
It's up to you
All I can do, I've done
But memories won't go
No, memories won't go

I'd have sworn
That with time
Thoughts of you
Would leave my head
I was wrong
And I find
Just one thing
Makes me forget

Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearing apart
My blue, blue heart

[TheLeet]
