Welcome!

FEEL FREE TO USE ANOTHER REFERENCE SHEET / CREATE YOUR OWN REFERENCE SHEET, THIS IS ENCOURAGED,<33 THANK YOU.

Ending soon, get all entries in!

I don't really see any designs I absolutely adore, so it might end without a winner.

I have decided to have 3 characters. Two I have designed (Spade and Karok), and one I am leaving it up to YOU to decide! Unlike my last contest, this one WILL end with a winner, however long it takes xD I am looking for very specific designs though. Please read on for more of what I'm looking for.

I am NOT looking for;
5 minute designs. PUT SOME THOUGHT INTO THEM
Extreme sparkledogs...I don't really like quads with hair.
No eyeburning colors (bright red, greens, blues all together, like the image above;p)
Boring designs. I like natural designs, and specific breeds, but no boring designs
More than 10 colors in the design (includes eyes, pawpads, tongue, etc.)

I am looking for;
Complicated and well thought out designs
UNUSUAL designs! I can't stress this enough xD If it is going to have wings, make them unique, not same old same old, etc.
ARMOR! I have always wanted a character with armor on him/her, but can never draw it right xD Steampunk is prefered
Designs based off of this flower (color wise) Click
Natural designs with a twist
Colorful and flowing designs. They can have sparkledog colors, but I want there to be a certain theme, or design.
Specific breeds! No just 'wolf'. Try 'European Wolf' or 'Great Dane', etc.
I'd actually like a large character, so make him/her a little bigger than usual
When posting, please try to think of a name, breed, and brief personality.

Now. I am thinking this will end in about 2 months? So get designing!

YOU GET BONUS POINTS if you actually draw an original piece with the design in it as well as the reference!

What? I forgot something? OH YES! The prizes(;

I'd enter but the thing over the lineart is blinding me >.<

I know, I did that as an example of how to NOT design a charrie xD

[Prince of Awesome]

I looked at it, I fell backwards and dropped my glasses on the floor, so.... I'm already pretty well blind,my sister would say if you're really sorry you wouldn't have done it in the first place <.<

I made it more dull xD

book marking, also, what type of armor are you looking for? Steel, steampunk, medieval, leather?

More Steampunk type...Have you seen TWG's WOI? Something like that armor.

What is that? Can you send me a link to some images so I can get an idea? I am sorry I can't draw my own, I am left handed and not so skilled with drawing righty with a mouse lol

You cant use this as an actual reference for how to draw it, and maybe a lil' less armor, in different colors and such, but this is a general idea.
