Thank you for taking the time to read, and perhaps enter this! And sorry for all the german shepherd references.
The species you'll be drawing is Terradogs. Terradogs are basic canines, their anatomy is similar to that of a german shepherd except with a less pointy snout, or a Bernese mountain dog but more muscular (or with less hanging fluff). Tail and ears resemble the shepherds. If you're basing it off a shepherd, the neck should be a little more defined.
Distinguishing features:
Its a terrarium dog. the whole area thats been marked in red (or something similar to it) should be glass. inside (preferably in a sub-group or another layer) should be a terrarium. keep reading to see the type of terrarium im looking for.
If you want, you can mark some of the legs as a terrarium. I'd like this, but make sure its in a separate layer or group to the main lines. this is optional as its a reasonably easy thing to draw.
Plant growth. Terradogs have plant growth along the back of their neck and on the top of their heads, and at the base and the top of their tail. This is optional but highly preferred, you can put it on a separate layer.
Tall, but not super tall
Types of terrariums:
This will improve your chances of winning.
When you draw the terrarium in the chest, either you can leave a hollow glass area, or you can draw lines for a terrarium. if you draw multiple, it'll increase your chances.
Types:
succulents
ferns/moss
flowers
cacti
Suggested layers layout (feel free to use this or do something else) (this is saying each point below is on a separate layer/layer group):
-basic lines, this is the general canine shape as well as the glass chest area.
-(opt) Leg glass outlines, just some lines
-glass gleam, including gleam for legs (if you drew that)
-(HIGHLY SUGGESTED) a separate group below the main lines for the different terrarium options
Other suggested features that will help your chances:
baby lines (please please please this will hugely increase your chances)
base colour
ref, including eyes nose tongue and palette
Prizes:
There will be two winners. The prizes here may change, but only up and never down.
1st place: (main lines)
-400c$
-One fullbody coloured and shaded art piece (feral animals only, sorry)
-5 wl rares (if I have none on ur wl, 5 2010 and below rares)
2nd place: (event lines)
-150c$
One headshot coloured and shaded art piece (feral animals only, sorry)
-3 wl rares (if I have none on ur wl, 5 2010 and below rares)
If you don't win, you can keep your lines. You can either make them giftlines or ych's, or you can PM me about what you'd need to change to potentially turn your lines into a new species. Lines I think had a lot of effort put in may also get a small thank you gift.
Final important info
If you don't finish the lines by the due date, thats fine, you can keep adding after.
Extensions may be requested up to 5 days before the end.
The end date for this comp is the second of June, in a month.
You may post wips, however I will not give you feedback.
This HAS to be on oekaki, sorry.
do not delete the background pack, it'll lower your chances greatly.
You may ask anything about the species or other general questions below.
