I think the reason they vagued out the Nimmo day background was because the BG was too busy and took away the effect of the two nimmos. x_x Though the water was really detailed too - something just didn't work out - though there was a lot of effort put into the picture.
@ Scream: x_x I honestly don't hope so - the last time someone tried to rip off my BC picture, they submitted it to the wrong category. If it did, I wouldn't be surprised to see my random fan concept hissi labeled as a uni >>;
You know, I am so enamoured with this new faerie hissi now that I even started some quick fanart/concept design for my faerie hissi-to-be (one day I tell you!). What I noticed is that I think the official faerie hissi looks a bit 'fat' because of its belly fur - its supposed to puff out slightly. The one I did has less 'puffage' and therefore looks depraved (hopefully this also slightly answers the questions on why you don't make your faerie hissi too thin):
Also a quick note:
