Yesterday I was hit by a flying brain child and decided to revamp an old adoptable species of mine. This meant a major redesign and, while I am fairly comfortable drawing things in my own style, I'm struggling with coming up with a lineart that does the idea justice.
Today I've decided to open a contest to try and get a quality lineart that is cute, practical, and high quality enough to send my small children out into the world.
Requirements:
1. Lineart must be in either PSD format or on oekaki.
2. Pose must be cute but also lend well to creating designs
3. Traits included on the sketch sheets must be included on the finished lineart, no additional traits may be added at this time
Bonuses:
1. I would love for there to be a mini-ref above the lineart to show the design on the ear-wings
2. Option for the ear wings to be hidden so the design on the head/neck can be seen in full(depending on how the ear wings are posed)
3. Nursery lines would be fun, but certainly are not necessary
4. Head mini-ref with raised crest feathers would also be awesome to show the crest feather colors/design better
The prizes are listed below. Winners 1-3 will each choose ONE of the offered prizes. First place may choose which prize they want first, followed by second, then third. All others will be given a rare pet as thanks for your entry.
Prizes 1-3:
OR OR OR OR OR OR
So let's take a look at the concept!
Sketch #1
Wings attach to the head and nape of the neck. Body should be lithe and lightweight, but fluffy! Think winter coat red fox. They have both a fox tail and tail feathers. The ear-wings move just like normal bird wings, allowing for short distance flights. They have head feathers like a sulfur crested cockatoo that raise and lower when they are excited or surprised!
Sketch #2
A little less hurried sketch, wings are posed a bit differently to show their ability to be repositioned better and there's a (really wonky) front view to show the crest feathers a bit better.
Andddddd just for amusement sake, here's the original concept from 2012
Rules:
1. Art theft/concept theft will not be tolerated in any way
2. You may not keep your entry if you do not win unless you remove the wing ears, crest feathers, and tail feathers(just make it a basic fox again)
3. You must contact me if you choose to keep your art if you do not win, you will not receive a rare pet in this case
4. Please be respectful of others
