Help me create a closed species! -- Read for details.

Postby BlackWren » Sat Jul 26, 2014 1:58 am

    Welcome!
      I haven't done a contest in quite a while, but I thought this mite be a good time to make one since I've been having a very hard time coming up with a species I can sell for profit. Some may be normal form adoptions with forms, but I'll be making most of them to be sold for DA points, C$, CS pets etc. Maybe even money later on, but I need your help to do it.

      End date: September 1st. This may be extended or changed if I have too few entries.

    What I'm looking for:
    ★ Concept artwork.
      I want to know how the body looks, so making me a reference is a huge advantage. It doesn't need color or words unless it's something you can't tell me by describing it, but it should be easy to understand and take bits from. Even sketches are appreciated.
    ★ Canine based species, with an original twist/flair.
      With a twist? Yes. I want a canine based species of some sort mixed with whatever characteristics you can give it to make them look unique. I love reptilian characteristics like skin instead of fur or scales. Some ideas I really like that others have come up with that are canine or otherwise unique in my opinion are Water Dogs, Saurbun's, and Nekoi. DO NOT COPY THESE CHARACTERISTICS. All three of these are closed species that I like, but have no desire to own - mostly because they do not belong to me. Please respect the artist's species and use my likes wisely. I like species with some sort of power as well, though this is something easily left out and not something you have to do. I also love fish dogs :>
    ★ Rarity guide to species & it's deformity's
      This is a very useful thing for me to have and is displayed on the reference for Nekoi's. I'd like something similar, but it's not something you nessisarily have to do. It'd be very useful and would earn you a higher chance of winning this contest. Also, a tell me the restrictions of the species; What can or can't they be without to be the species, or what can't they do?

    What I like:
    (please do not do all of these things)
      ★ Wings.
      ★ Fur.
      ★ No fur.
      ★ Patches of fur.
      ★ Long fur.
      ★ Curly fur.
      ★ Horns.
      ★ Long nails.
      ★ No nails.
      ★ Canine's mixed with objects (clocks, clouds, dirt etc.)
      ★ Cartoon-ish/realistic-ish style.
      ★ Species with natural colors with bright accents.
      ★ Wings.
      ★ Big eyes.
      ★ More than four legs.
      ★ Beaks.
      ★ Long muzzles.
      ★ Short muzzles.
      ★ Long and thin legs.
      ★ Fluff.
      ★ Whiskers.
      ★ Scales.
      ★ Gills.
      ★ Fins.
      ★ Bandages.
      ★ Weapons.
      ★ Tattoos.
      ★ Dark colors.

    Rules & Guidelines:
    ★ Enter as many times as you like.
      If you win first place, I will keep one of your entries and maybe pay you for the other if I like the other entry you made. You can choose to keep one of your entries if you make more than one and take first place. Those who do not earn first place can keep their entries unless I contact them about it asking to use the species they created. They may refuse if they want to keep their entry.
    ★ I have the right to close this contest if I do not find satisfactory entries.
      Each partisipant then will receive three rares from my Competition Prizes group or more as compensation.
    ★ Your entry must be drawn by you.
      You may not use a species someone else has created as your entry for this contest! I want 100% on your entries, and just reusing a species you got from someone else will not be satisfactory, nor will artwork made from someone else be.
    ★ No premade bases, by yourself or otherwise.
      In other words; don't be lazy. You're free to submit sketches sure, but bases are not allowed to be used for entries.


    Prizes:
    ★ 1st place
      For the person who makes me most desired and loved species, they will get 30 pets from this group, five customs of the species they created for me, and 100 C$.
    ★ 2nd place
      For the person who makes an entry I love, they will receive 20 pets from this group, four customs of the first place user's species, and 77 C$.
    ★ 3rd place
      For the person who makes an entry I like a lot, they will receive 10 pets from this group, three customs of first place user's species, and 50 C$.
    ★Runners up (depends on # of entries I like after 3rd place. May not be given out if none apply.)
      Each runner up that I choose will have the choice of either 20 C$ or one semi custom of the species 1st place created.


decided not to continue this contest V.V
