Newspaper wrote:I'm sorry I've not been around for a while.
I've had a lot with all tests going on at this time of the year.

I'm going to start judging right away.
Though, I wont keep any characters, since I'll quit using these kind of sites.
I know I said I would use them on DA, but I changed my mind about creating an account.
I need to focus completly on my grades now, and I want to be with my friends on my spare time, not on the intenet.
But dun' worry, all prices will be given out, and you may keep/sell/adopt away the characters. c:

Hope you all enjoyed the competition, and good luck everyone!

(Results will be up soon)



31/03- The end date has been announced!
It'll be the 1st of May.
After that, no more entries will be accepted.
Judging might take a few days, but results will be out soon after.

28/03- If you have questions, feel free to ask me, I don't bite c:
You can also pm me with questions about your entery, and I'll try to give some constructive critique.
(But please try to be a little specific with your questions)

28/03- I just want to inform everyone that one person can not place more that once, to keep it fair and give everyone a chance.
I'm sorry, and I propably should have said this earlier.

27/03 - If you wish to use a pre-made lineart, here is one I like.
(But you can choose anyone you would like, as long as the original artist allows you to use it.)
Also, it would be good if you informed me if the lineart is allowed to be used outside cs or not. Because if it's not, I would have to draw a new reference if your design were to win.

27/03 - I'm starting to realise how difficult it'll be to judge this...

26/03 - Rules have been modified, please take a look.



Create a character! Win LOTS of stuff!


ღ Welcome! ღ

I'm leaving cs, so I'm holding a goodbye contest, with all my pets and items as the prize!
The characters that I get from here will be used for art on the Deviantart account I'm planning to open,
where I'll hopefully draw them a lot c:

I'm ofcourse not leaving before I close this contest and the winners has been given their prizes. xD
End of story. Let's waste no more time and get down to the contest information! ^^
Oh, and english is not my mother language, so pleace excuse me if it's not perfect ^^;>


End date: 1st of May

13/3: I updated the dislikes a little, and added likes.
I felt I had to give you some kind of information at least ^__^
But remember that they are guidelines, not rules.

12/3: I just realised not everyone wants 800 omgsc-uc pets.
So if you win, and only want the rare and VR pets, ofcourse it won't be a problem ^^



Prizes:
All my pets and items will be given out to the 1st, 2nd and 3d placers.

The only way the prizes might change is if I add something.

1st place:
First pick of 50 pets from this group and first pick of 900 pets from here + all of my items that you want.

2nd place:
Second pick of 21 pets from this group and second pick of 400 pets from here + the remaining items if there are any.

3d place:
The remaining pets (and items if there are any).


Prize pool highlights:

sell and edit them etc. and use them outside of chickensmoothie.
• You may enter up to 4 times

[color=#FF0000]Changed
No premade lines - from now on you're allowed to use premade lines, just make sure you have permission from the artist. Also, it would be good if you informed me if the lineart is allowed to be used outside cs or not. Because if it's not, I would have to draw a new reference if your design were to win Changed
• Don't insult or threat me or other participants.
• Don't argue about my decision of the winners. I'll pick the designs I like the most.
• I may change or modify these rules any time and with or without warning
New • I'll be as fair as possible when judging, meaning you wont have a higher chance of winning because you're my friend New

More to be added when neccisary.[/color]


What I'm looking for:

I'm looking for original characters that are to be used in art etc.
It's not very likely that I'll roleplay them and such, but I might write stories and I'll use them in drawings.
That's why it's extra important that the design is unique, but not to complex.
I don't want premade lines. Everything has to be your original work.
I'm going to judge based on the design more than on your level of art (though ofcourse it's a plus if the drawing is well made).

I'm open to pretty much any species, though what I would like to see is humans, dragons, cats (big or small), dogs or maybe wolves, foxes, deer or bears if the design is good.
If you want, you could try an anthro to. They can be awsome or awfull to me, all depending on the design.

To be honest, I'm looking more for the idea.
It'll be a great plus if you write a little about the basic concept of the character.
Like it's special treats and such, if they are a little twisted in some way etc. I'm looking for unique and new ideas.


What I don't like very much:

× Neon colors (bright colors that hurts my eyes)
× I prefer if the character itself is naturally colored (dragons is an exeption i guess), but they can have colored clothes (if human)
× Sparkle characters
× Common characters without personality or depth
× Random accessoaries without some kind of funktion or story
× Animals with colthes (exeptions can be made) or human looking hair on animals - Anthros is an exeption.
× Modern time humans (I prefer more like fantasy ones, but modern ones can be cool to if they have the right design)
× Gothich, emo, steampunk and all these different styles (no offense, it looks really cool in real life, but I'm not currently looking for it on a character)
× Rainbows
× And, I don't want to scare you from adding accessories, I like them, but only when they make sense ^^

BUT, these are guidelines, not rules, so feel free to be creative c:

What I like:

♪ If I write anything here, I'm affraid all charatcers will look like that, so I better leave it to you ^u^

Edit: Ok, I guess I'll write a little anyway. Just to give you the idea.
But remember, these are guidelines, not rules c:

♪ The main tip is: Do Not Overdo It. I like creepy stuff, but only when it makes some kind of sense (well, like I don't think a character would have use for 14 eyes and 3 heads for example.)
♪ Natural and semi natural designs. At least for the markings.
♪ Accessoaries that makes sense (a wolf with a weapon that it obiviously can't use, like a bow, does'nt to me)
♪ A little creepyness
♪ Pointy teeth, lots and lots >:D
♪ I kind of like twisted stuff (ok, I like it a lot c;), like a screwed up mind or something.
♪ But I don't want all my characters to be creepy and dark shaddows (I might become one myself o_o), so if there are many enteries that look like that, it could be a great idea to make a lighter one c:
♪ As for colors, light cream and browns. Pastells, mixed with darker colors look great if it's done the right way.
♪ Feel free to look at real animals, it's acctually best that if you decide to draw for example a dog, take a look at the normal patterns of the coat of the breed you're doing. It's a great source of inspiration, and it usually looks good c:
♪ I'll add more later if something comes to mind -__^ Feel free to ask me if I like something or not.
♪ If you want some music for inspiration, I like Nightwish, Simon and Garfunkel and... I'll add more later, and maybe a few specific songs and such (:

♪ Enteries:
(In order of entering, the first one to enter is the one at topp)


♪~ Chevelle. ~ I like Greyson and Tawny c:
Some ideas immedietly came to my mind when I saw them.
Though I would propably change Greysons markings to something natural if they win c:

♪~ ~M I O S T E R~ I like that you put a little story behind him.
The scar on his eye is also a great addition, that gives the wiever an idea of how though he have had it even before reading his story. (:

♪~ yoyo8888
~ First of all, I like that you took a chance and did something else than a wolf (:
The saberteeth gives him a nice twist and he also made a personality come to mind when I saw him.

♪~ narwhalsarewaesome
~ I like that you wrote a little about her personality. The anger issues are a great twist for such a cute looking character.

♪~ MoonCheese&Bowties
How cute! Even though I'm not really looking for unnatural colors, this looks really good, and I like it (:
I especially like what you did with the colors on his back and face.


♪~ picklequeen
I love that you wrote a history for her! Though I would propably change it a little, and keep her on the street if she wins.
I also really like that you stated what breed she is (I like Greyhounds).

♪~ ♥Te Amo♥
~ I really like that it is a dragon. Also, the head shape is very unique, it reminds me a lot of a horse.
I've never seen anything like it before, which is great! c:
And, above all, I luff those pointy claws >:D

♪~ .Keyo.
~ Amazing! This is really something! >-<
I love the story, it's very unique and he's a character I got a lot of art ideas for at first sight.
I also like the markings, they are simple but interessting, just what I am looking for.
It's a really great entery, and I love it >-<

♪~ Ke$ha Wolf
~ Another amazing design >-<
I really like the color sheme, it fits nicely, even though it's a little unnatural, and I really like it.
It's a really good design, he's a handsome lad ^__-
The clean refenance image is also a great +

♪~ Ke$ha Wolf
~ Another pretty one.
I like the story, and I think this character would be interesting to draw.
I like his red eyes, they stand in good contrast to his dark colors.
Also, the stripe under his eye is indeed a great detail c:

♪~ RainbowPeanut
~ First of all, I love to see a human!
I also really like the story, and her profession >.<
And her face, with the pointed teeth smile. >:D

♪~ spindelberrygirl
~I like the effort that you must have put into this entery.
I also like the name, that it has a meaning.
The story is great, and leaves a lot of space for a continuation,
which is great, since I want to be able to develop the character.



♪~ kingquincy ~ Very cute!
I love his expression.
The smal teeth and the horns are adoreable >.<

♪~

Thank you everyone for entering!
I hope to see some more enteries soon ^u^



Ok, I think that's it c:
I'll check back now and then, and proppably edit stuff a little.
Feel free to ask me any questions, here or by pm.
I speak swedish and english, so feel free to use either language in pms.

Questions and answers:

"May I draw my entery traditionally?"

Yes, ofcourse. As long as it's nice and clean so that the design is visible.


"May I edit my entery?"

Yes, but please let me know by either posting here or by pm.


"When will you announce an end date?
And approximately when will it be?"


I'll propably announce the end date pretty soon, and I'm thinking of maybe the end of April/beginning of May or something.
I'm not completly sure yet though.
