[Facet]

Quite true , I'll try an edit along with something more tiki later, thanks.

Awesome! Great initiative!
And I assume the guy with tallest pole gets the girl? (har har)

Is it ok to pretend to overlap? Like use the same style as the one below to blend the two together?
I'm thinking no since they're supposed to be separate pieces.

lol , I really love this  . So , I made one piece for this .

Hey, look! It's a bird in profile! Never done that before.

Is using all the colours in the palette mandatory? I guess you should at least use the ones that makes the selected palette unique, though (ie. reds or blues). Anyway, I put all the blues and purples into the gem, so this should be fine either way. Just wondering.

Sure feel free to blend with another totem.

But I'm trying to keep things in order of submission unless there's a good reason not to.
If three people PM me with "Hey I have a finished chunk that blends to the same totem as someone else! I want that spot!" it will get a bit complicated.
I'm allowing re-submissions so if you post a placeholder for me to use that will at least keep things in a first come first serve order.

Personally I'm going to draw my totems without blending to simplify.
But I won't discourage it if it's something you really want to do. 

Also you can submit as many entries as you want so it could be easier to blend 2 or 3 of your own chunks to make 1 large one.

Nope.
Your totem fits the rules just fine.
Altho if anyone decides to exclude the character unique colors make sure to tell me which pole it belongs to.

Bit of high kitsch.


and a slightly amended owl; just tucked in the bottom of the wings a tad.

What an awesome activity. I have a feeling these totems are going to get pretty high. Once I get some free time I'll starting making some.

My totem for Rune !

[Seiseki]

Some kind of steampunk thing
Go Rune!

Hm, for some reason I feel like Rune is the evil one

Btw, PixelPiledriver, a suggestion.
What about adding a different background for each height, starting with the ocean, sky, clouds, space, stars and finally the moon?
Would be really cool to be able to see the progress through and how far it's come.
