You four had gorgeous designs, and I hope you all will be pleased with earning the position of Nursery Artists!
You all also may have a chance in the future to be able to create regular kiamaras for adoption as well.
Our next winner group is Guest Artist type 2. These users will be allowed to make more than a regular guest artist. They will be permitted to make 6 kiamaras for adoption, two of those may have lineart edits!

And finally, our regular Guest Artist winners. These users will be allowed to create the regular guest artist amount of 2 kiamaras.

Thank you all for participating, each and every entrant. There were some amazing designs out there!
If you won full artist or nursery artist and you don't have my Skype, if you are comfortable with it, could you let me know what your skype is? I'd love to add you to the kiamara staff chat. C: Further information will be sent to you soon.
Welcome to the artist competition for Kiamaras!
Official end date ;; November 15th
First of all; I want to just say right now, I probably sound fairly mean in this post, please realize that is due to the fact that this is going to very crazy for me, because Kiamaras are so huge, and I really do not need thiefs and troublemakers. I don't want you to think I'm scary!
First, let's take a quick look at the file;
Here we have, the basic lineart. As you can tell, obviously it's not the regular kiamara lineart. This is because I do not need people stealing the normal kiamara lines and abusing them.
Alright, do you see that? Don't even think about removing it, please.
It is there to prove that these are not real kiamaras, these are for the competition and the competition only.
Just to look at the layers very quickly. Make sure you always have lock alpha checked!! It will make your life so much easier.
The "READ" layer is very short, but please make sure you read it. These designs entered in this competition may not be made into OCs later, are not real kiamaras, and most likely never will be.
Now that's over, we have the rules;
• These lines are for this competition and this competition only. This means;
you may not use the designs you create for OCs if you don't win
you may not sell any of the designs created for this competition
you may not use the lines to color in your owned kiamaras
if you don't win, there's no way your design will become a real kiamara (even if you do win, no promises)
• Don't copy designs. Don't steal designs that have been created anywhere, for this competition or not.
• You may enter as many times as you want. But, you may only enter up to 2 times with lineart edits. And if you do enter with line edits, you must have at LEAST 1 without line edits.
• No harassing or rudeness. No matter if someone is bothering you for whatever reason, take it up with a mod if its really worth it.
• Don't have someone else design for you.
• Do not whine on other people's entries and say, "Oh, I should just give up now cause I know I have no chance against you." It's annoying, it can be offensive, and it doesn't make the artist feel very good.
• You may not enter with your own custom lines. Use the ones provided.
• I will be giving out spots as artist and guest artist
• I may give out spots as a nursery growth artist or nursery artist.
• Make sure to follow all of the species' guidelines on the main adopt thread.
• Don't make super dramatic line edits (example a missing leg or a bob tail. Those are not okay)
• If you have questions, post here, don't PM someone please.
Also, read over the artist rules!! If you can't keep up or cannot fulfill all these duties, don't enter.
Form
Yes, there is a form. You must fill this out in your first entry, and if you enter more than once, just state in your description that you've already filled out a form. No need to put it more than once!
Prizes!
These prizes are the only spots that definitely will be filled. Honestly, it all depends on the entries! There could be so many more winners.
First Place
+ Place as full artist
Second Place
+ Guest artist or full artist. It all depends on the entries!
I'm sure as the competition goes on, much more will be added to this post.
What is a Kiamara?
A Kiamara is a wolf-like creature. They have long, fluffy manes on the top of their heads, running down between their shoulders. They all have spots on their bodies- a trait in which will never be bred out of their DNA. They also have feathers- every Kiamara is given feathers when they reach the age of 2 years old. Their diet consists of fruit as well as meat- they prey on similar creatures that wolves would. Kiamara can be very shy before they get to know you. Can you win a Kiamara's heart?
