I DO have permission to use these lines for a contest.
First things first.
Lineart is by Nacho-Taco. Because I did not provide a background, you must use this lineart. You may, however, edit it in any way that you see fit without completely changing/distorting the lineart. For example, a different tail style, a new hair style, making it into a male, changing the top, or changing the bottom half (the animal half) would be acceptable. But the base must stay the same.
The contest will close on March 2nd, 2013. This should give you plenty of time.
I will keep 2-5 of these. I will be offering definite 1st through 3rd places with set prizes and do intend to keep their designs. If I like your design, but you didn't place in the 3 best designs, I may contact you and try to negotiate something with you. You're not required to give these designs to me, of course, unless you place in one of my allotted winner spots. I might be able to offer a few rares to those that did catch my fancy, though.
If you do not want your design even if you don't place, please say so when making the entry. Perhaps you could donate it to Symphony Character Adoption Agency or another character adoption agency and see if it can get a good home?
What I'm looking for:
- The character can be male or female. I don't generally like particularly long hair on males, so please, if you're making a male, create your own hair for him.
- The base can be natural or unnatural. I do like the normal horse patterns, but seeing a nice chestnut with some unnaturally colored accents would be nice every once in a while.
- The bottom half does not have to be horse. Something like a deer, maybe even a wolf would be acceptable. Just keep the same basic pose and lineart when making lineart changes.
- I love accessories. Let's see what you can do!
- PLEASE have the drawing faced vertically when posting your entry.
- You may enter 3 times.

Update: You're welcome to change the skin color and hair color however you'd like, even to unnatural things. xD Just clarifying in case this wasn't clear.
Edit: Alternative lineart off of the oekaki is this one from deviantArt;
