[cosmic-quark]

Hey guys, I'm cosmic and I'm looking for some shiny new characters!
Let's start with what everyone wants to know-


Prizes:

The prize group is located here, and it includes store pets, older rares, event rares, and more!

First Place:
First place will get their pick of five pets, as well as 10 C$

Second Place:
Second place will get their pick of four pets, as well as 5 C$

Third Place:
Third place will get their pick of three pets, as well as 3 C$

Every entry gets a participation prize! <3


Rules:
1. Humanoid characters only- ferals and anthros will be disqualified
2. No bases, linearts, or dollmakers allowed, even if you're the creator
3. You can enter as many times as you want, but only one entry can place
4. Traditional art is allowed only if it is scanned well
5. I will keep the top three designs; if there are any other designs I like,
I will PM the creator and offer separate compensation
6. All entries must be colored fullbodies


The deadline is October 29th!
This may be extended depending on the number of entries or by request of a participant.

All characters must be specifically created for this contest-
if you think you have an already established character that meets my criteria, feel free to PM me separately

Feel free to check out my toyhou.se wishlist here for more specific ideas

I like these kinds of designs:
- sci-fi/futuristic **
- conspiracy theorists/ghost hunters/etc ***
- science/engineering themes ****
- punk undertones
- pirates/explorers
- space themes *****
- modern witches **
- superheroes
- prosthetics and/or tattoos *****
- lgbt+ characters *****
- unique designs
- alien creatures of any kind
- angelic/demonic creatures presented in a unique way
- interesting weapons/accessories **

I don't like these kinds of designs:
- ferals/anthros *****
- bright and clashing colors **
- "neko" style characters ****
- unoriginal or overly simplistic designs
- designs that are too complex to easily recreate
- references that don't show the full body
- linearts or dollmakers ****
- straight characters **
- religious themes ***
- edgy, emo, or lolita style designs ****
- too much neon or pastel colors (especially pink)
- extremely masculine or feminine characters

Note: a full reference will give you extra brownie points (;
