~ Welcome To The Competition!~
~ Hello, I'm Owl! After a long while of consideration, I've official not only decided I would like a fursona, but I've put thought into the animal, color scheme, and what not. Also, I would prefer the design to be done initially in a more humanoid style ( aka anthromorphic/ two-legged) So, before we get to the prizes, let's see what your working torwards, yes? You will find below in Bold my base requirements for the design.
SPECIES AND NAME
I've chosen the name "Ember" for my fursona. Why? Because of her species. Phoenixes have important meaning to me, but I also really like snow leopards. Therefore, I decided to make her a Gryphon! Or, to be more specific, a snow leopard-phoenix hybrid!
COLORS
The base color I'm thinking will be a light gray. Of course, that will be risky should the design ever become a suit, but oh well. I'll just be careful. Anywho, yes, A light gray base. Any markings will be phoenix-color scheme, with maybe a hint of a darker gray or black in there for balance.
Extras
Needless to say, as a gryphon, she will have wings. However, I'd also like the head to be a bit more phoenix-like, as in a beak instead of a muzzle. I would like ears, however, whether they be snow-leopard or more of an elongated type ear. The tail I would prefer to be snow-leopard. In addition, I would prefer both a front and back reference. don't forget a few snow leopard markins as well
OPTIONAL/BONUS POINTS
Here will be my list of optional parts to her design, and things that will get you a few bonus points on my grading scale.
OPTIONAL___
1. Bird claws for the hands
2. Feathers at the wrists and ankles, a feathery crest on the head,
3. Feathers down the back
4. eye reference
5. You can throw in a bit of magenta, but no hot or baby pink.
BONUS POINTS
by doing these things, you will recieve bonus points!
1. Making an eye reference
2. Making a close-up head reference.
3. Making a wing reference.
4. Making a recolor where the design has a gray-purple color scheme ( because I'm curious what it would look like)
5. A little heart-shaped marking under the outer corner of the left eye
6. Any cute little touches you might add to her design. ( Like cute markings, heterochromia, ect.)
7. Making a chibi variant I could put in my signature on here
8. Making a feral variation ( where it's more of a proper gryphon compared to the humanoid shape that I'm asking for here.)
Now onto what you've all been waiting for, the prizes!

RULES
~ My Biggest Requirements, however, are that you abide by the CS rules for artwork, and adhere to at least the basics of My Design ~
Please note, I would prefer it if you did not keep these designs afterwards, that way there is no worry about 'copying' should I ever decide to do something with the design.
and yes, this may be done on other programs as long as you show me a picture on here
-- The goal is to end this at the end of June, but if there's not a design I like, I might extend it another week or two.
