Help my new Species! (3 Competitions!)

Postby breakinbenjamin12234 » Mon Jan 30, 2017 3:18 pm

So I've always had a few fursonas and characters but one that has stuck with me the most is my Baylay. So I figured I'd make him a whole species.
Since all I have on my new species is what Baylay looks like I don't have a name for it, lore, or any linearts. That's where you come in :D

I will be hosting 3 competitions (Name&Lore, Lineart, and Create-a-Character).

Each competition has its own set of rules and prizes. You are more than welcome to enter into as many as you want just make sure to follow each ones rules and conditions.

Prizes:

Name&Lore :

Lineart:
Image Image and Image

Create-a-Character:

Rules:

Name&Lore:
1. Create a unique name that you think is fitting for the species
2. The name must be appropiate, not long, and understandable/easily pronounced
3. Create a befitting lore/history for this species
4. Lore can be as imaginative as you want but don't go over gorey or anything.

Lineart:
1. Create a black and white simple lineart for me and possibly others to use to create their own.
2. No color (that will be in the character create if so wish)
3. Shading is optional. It will neither help your winning or be required. I will judge all entries will equality no mater the extent of artistic ability.
4. I will give a drawn example of my species that you will go by. I already have the basic done I just need a new digital look.
5. No stealing others work.
6. Only digital art no traditional paper drawings please.

Create-a-Character:
1. Once the name&lore and Lineart are finished you can create your own character and enter it in to win. (you can create one before the other competitions are done but you might have to edit them)
2. You can use anything to create your character (digital, color, black&white, pencil,etc.); you may use the winning lineart or choose to create your own.
3. I won't be judging the entries by artistic ability but by uniquness and creativity in the characters.
4. When submitting a character include its name, age, personality or a bit about them, and anything extra/history.
5. You may submit up to 3 characters but will receive the same amount of prizes/pets
6. The number of characters entered do not help or hinder your winning.

Now how about a little knowledge on my species.
Everyone has an element they are connected or tied to; Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Shadow, Light, etc
They can have alterations like the ears being long or floppy, having a lot of fluff, or even horns (though its uncommon to see one with horns). You will not see any with alterations or mutations like wings, multipule tails, or no blade at all on its tail.

Here is the basic look to my species/Baylay. Do not diverge from the main look. Small alterations like claws fluff may be added but nothing huge. This is how I'd like them to look for the most part.

Winners!


Name&Lore

Drasheep

NAME: Emikar : Pronounced: EH-ME-CAR, but quickly

LORE/HISTORY: The emikar are a fascinating species that have history dating as far back as we can tell. According to emikar legend, it is in fact them who created the elements. What with each and every emikar having elemental powers, this could hold some truth to it. For many generations, they have lived in a vast kingdom, large and strong. Many battles were fought for the lush lands, but all were won by the emikar. Their tails of course, helped massively, the strong blade easily a weapon you would not wish to encounter. Many legends surround a great leader of the emikar named "Lorion." It is not known if this emikar every truly existed, or if he was created from their imaginative minds. As the tales go, he fought many fights against hundreds of monsters who threatened his kingdom, and he led many victorious battles. The emikar believe in peace, but when pushed to fight they will do so. They are also known to gently mourn over other creatures killed merely for food. They respect nature, and believe that there are many spirits in the wilderness. Some rumors even claim that emikar are spirits themselves. What is fact and fiction, we may never know. What we do know is that these are beautiful creatures, with rich lore, fables, and myths, and their history is quite fascinating.


Lineart


Create-a-Character


After announcing the winner I will send your pets to you. You have 1 week to accept the trade/pets or they will go to the runner up.

LORE/HISTORY: The emikar are a fascinating species that have history dating as far back as we can tell. According to emikar legend, it is in fact them who created the elements. What with each and every emikar having elemental powers, this could hold some truth to it. For many generations, they have lived in a vast kingdom, large and strong.
