Once you send your entry, I will respond to your post with a short list of what I think of your entry.
I want designs inspired by snow leopards and aussie dogs. Your design must have at least some element of these two dogs.
Rules
You can make as many entries as you want, but you must wait until I've replied to your post before you make another.
Your entry must not have any form of hair, sparkle, ect. This is supposed to be realistic and feral.
Shading is removed for a reason, they disrupt the design.
I deleted the male outlines (I find them disturbing) but your design can be either female or male. (all males have horns)
I may change the rules around a little bit as the contest goes on.
For the sake of consistency, don't try to doll up your design with backgrounds and everything.
What I want
When you submit your entry, is will reply with this list judging how good it is. It will be rated either 'unsatisfactory', 'poor', 'satisfactory', 'good' or 'ideal'.
Aussie/Leopard Scale: First and foremost, I want a wolf designed by elements of the Australian Shepherd breed of dog, and the Snow Leopard. If none of these animals are included, then your design will not win. The more evenly mixed the better. This doesn't mean you can't involve anything else.
Originality: This dosen't just mean 'not like anyone elses', it means 'if everyone else has scars/socks/spots ect. why don't i try something different? I also like complicated designs.
Naturality: As I said, I will not tolerate bright neon colours or other, non-natural patterns. Thing such as glows, collars, hair, wings, stars and other similar things will all count against this.
Overall Appearance: Designs that are just a mess of patterns will look bad. I like complicated designs, but I like good complicated designs.
Accesories: Chifrelobos are a proud race that have been away from humans for many generations. They're not going to be walking around with fluffy green collars or big red socks. I have kept a few accessories on the template but you will win extra if you make your own. Things such as feathers, skins, leaves, and such will add to this. Of course, you don't have to add any accessories.
How much I like it: Well... they are my characters. It might not matter how much it fills the brief, if I don't like it, it won't do well... It's all down to personal opinion.
