This Contest is now CLOSED! These are Not Editable Lines! Do not Treat them as so! No more color-ins will be accepted! I will have this thread locked after I am finished editing the description!

I would like to present to you another DAM contest! We are growing so we need more active artists :3
I'm thinking about making these a colorable lineart for DAM owners >;3

For those who dont Know!

D.A.M. means Desert Appaloosa Mustang



and as you can guess these will require an Appaloosa Pattern.

*No Paints
and No Pintaloosas (paint x appaloosa)*


-If you aren't sure what either of these look like or aren't sure if your favorite marking is a paint or appaloosa.. PM me to make sure, do not just go ahead with it (this is IF you are unsure).

-If you are asked to change your design and you do Not do so before the end date you will be automatically disqualified.

-Do Not Take my Sig Off
Or
-Take these lines and use them for something else..

-Any Bending of the Rules will be warned only .:Once:., then REPORTED without notice.
