Trades are being sent out now, and they will be MAJORLY added on to because of the looong, wait. I am SO sorry that I could not get on to send out the prizes, things came up. All participants get 20 pets from my "Extras/Trades" group located HERE. Please, come collect your prizes. More elaborate trades will be sent to the top trades, with a message, READ the message please!
My rules:
I really just want you to be creative and original.
That's it! No more rules!

Stick With Me Here Please
First, I must say that the original lines belong to EmberWolf. Aslo, below are EmberWolf's rules. I figured just to be safe I would list their rules so you don't go against them. I see this a lot on contests; The design doesn't win and people try to sell it to someone else who really likes it. Well, the bolded rule below CLEARLY states that EmberWolf does not allow the selling of any design using her lines. If you want to sell the design, you MUST use other lines. I just want to be fair to EmberWolf and play by their rules.
EmberWolf wrote:THE ALL IMPORTANT RULES
○Do NOT take credit for the lines
○Please do NOT take my signature off. You can move it, but it HAS to be visible at all times!
○Please do NOT make adoptables or designs you plan on selling. If I see these being used to sell designs, I kindly refer you to my rules first, and if you ignore me and continue selling- I WILL PROBABLY REPORT YOU. If you give a design from here to a free design 'adoption agency' because you no longer want the character, that's fine. Making a bunch of designs on these lines that you yourself don't plan on keeping and just adopting them out immediately is NOT okay. I consider that making adoptables, even if not in the adoptable oekaki board.
-Basically, NO FREE ADOPTABLES, NO PAID ADOPTABLES. THAT IS FINAL
If you want to ask my why I am so picky about adoptables, be my guest. I have explained it before.
○Please do NOT use this for CHARACTER/PET BREEDINGS that you plan on ADOPTING OUT. Even if you use other lines for the parents and puppies, but use MY lines for each pup's ref, I will NOT allow it because they are being used for adoptables, and that is against my rules. If you do breedings and use my lines and you AREN'T adopting them out or being PAID to make the refs, then you are fine.
○Please do NOT make PAID art orders with this (color in for someone else where you receive payment)
○Please do NOT use this to make entries for a contest
-However, you may use this to make an Oekaki Contest, and people are allowed to enter using the lines (obviously)
○Feel free to edit any part of the lines or the background
I'm sure some people have noticed that I DO go around and regulate these rules- I look for signatureless color ins, and adoptables, and ones that are for contest entries that aren't Oekaki, etc etc, and if I find anything that goes against my rules I will politely remind you to read these over or to change something. If you follow all my rules, then the only reason you should see me posting on your colored in post is because I'm complimenting it. Thank you.
Thank you and enjoy :3
Alright, well I'm sure you want to know what I want to see. I might list something at a later date, but right now I'm not going to. I Love dark designs, but I also love some lighter designs too, so I don't want to list what I like and you go "Oh it has to be all bloody and creepy" or "Wow she wants it all flowery and bright". I want you to design something cool. Now what you can do is comment and ask me "Hey do you like violets" or "I like this song as inspiration and was wondering if you liked it so I could base the design sort of around it". Im fine with that. Just don't ask me my favorite animal or pattern or color.
I've decided to do a Point Grading Policy. What this means is that things will add up in points to better your chances of winning. My scale:

And of course, how much I like the design: 10 - 100
