Hello! I've been looking for some new characters but I'm having trouble making them on my own. So I've decided to start a competition. ^^
~

~
Prizes subject to change~
Optional: A tier 5 advent list pet for an entry I feel deserves a lot of credit for the work put into it and how acurate it is.
First Place:
+20 pets from prize poo
Second Place:
+15 pets from prize pool
Third Place:
+10 pets from prize pool
Runner Ups:
1 pet from prize pool

So I'm not a fan of only giving prizes to winners so every entry will get their choice of 6 commons or 3 uncommons from my trade groups!~
Info on Entering:
~All Entries should contain a color pallette
~Please save your entry as a .png file
(.jpg/.jpeg causes unwanted pixelation)
~I will accept traditional as long as it is high quality
~Try to be original, the point of this contest is because I was unable to
be very original while I was designing characters.
~I am okay with you using a lineart as long it is one from the approved list below
~There is no limit to how many entries you are allowed

What I Like
~Natural designs
~Highly accesorized (don't mix with natural designs plz)
~Darker colors (darkest being a dark gray as shown above on my sona)
~Neons (not all neon, i have sensitive eyes)
~Designs that arent too complicated to the point it takes forever to draw
~Punk!
~Mutations (I LOVE these)
~Canines
~Humans (or neko-eske)
~If you use a shaded lineart please supply a version of the design without the shading (shading layer disabled)
~Scary! (anything creepy is a definant love <3)
~Any kind of void/substance leakage
~My Characters for reference
~A folder full of characters I adore (I WILL check for any design copies so don't do it)
Above all Harlical @ DA has designed some adopts that I absolutely LOVE
~
What I Don't like:
~Excessive pink
~Too much of any one color
~Very few colors (try to be more colorful!)
~Try to stick to canines or humans plz
~Anthro
~Boring designs
~Five minute designs (c'mon seriously?)
~Don't try to combine all my likes (it will probably look weird)

One way is the more natural look. I've come to love designs that stay true to natural patterns and colors.
Or the same approach but a more accesorized style.
Another way is the less natural with bright colors and highly accesorized
And the more mutated way
Lastly feel free to look through
My favorites: http://gasw0lf.deviantart.com/favourite ... c?offset=0
My fav designer: http://harlical.deviantart.com/gallery/ ... er-Designs
And some open specie I've been dying to get one of:

Generally, canines are of the highest preference in what I would ike to have, but I do also love humans and the open specie listed above. I hope this is enough for you ^^

Grading:
~1~ This is not anything that I would like to use as a character, only given if it has no effort put in.
~2~ Looks to have minimul effort but still not what I want.
~3~ Has a bit more effort, but is most likely way too simple/complex or bad coloration.
~4~ Possibly has a lot of effort but is just not what im looking for.
~5~ Good effort and is on the lower end scale of what I want as a character.
~6~ Good effort and comes a lot closer to a character I would be able to love.
~7~ Great effort, very close to what I consider an ideal character.
~8~ Great effort, obviously paid close attention to what I like and it is something I would Love to have as a char.
~9 & 10~ Amazing effort and is an ideal character for me, maybe even fursona quality. This score is only earned with custom drawn art and strict adherence to my likes and dislikes. The best way to get this is to get to know me, feel free to pm me!
