I need a furry character!

Prizes
Winners pick from this group!
1st place - 40 pets
2nd place - 30 pets
3rd place - 20 pets (Unlocked at 8+ entrants)
4th place - 10 pets (Unlocked at 10+ entrants)
All non-placing entrants can pick 10 pets from this group

I'm judging on design, not skill! (It can be messy as long as I can tell what parts are)
My art can also be a prize I guess? Let me know if anyone wants it (´･ω･`;)
End Date: August 16th, extensions can be granted

Rules
- You can use the bases if you want to (but you don't have to). Use it for this competition only! If you do use my base I'd prefer if you gave it clothes! It looks bad otherwise @-@; it was never meant to be naked....
- No covers, please!
- Off oekaki is accepted! Just post or PM the entry ^_^
- If you don't place you can keep your design!
- Multiple entries are allowed but you can only place once.
- Inform me of any rules you wish me to follow if I keep your design in your entry post!
- Last but not least, have fun! Designs are the best when you can tell the artist liked working on it!

- They must have hair (on the head)
- They must have at least 1 tail
- They must have 2+ ears
- They must have eyebrows
- They must have a nose
- They must have 1(not a cyclops tho) or 2+ eyes
- They must have 2 legs and 2+ arms (can be a robotic limb)
- The majority of the skin is covered in fur. There can be patches of scales and the face can be skin.
- Markings must be shown, clothes are not necessary
- Any gender is fine, it can be ambiguous

Are bases okay/or are you factoring the art style itself into the judging?
>Since I'm mostly judging on how well and how much I like drawing the
design, the use of bases or art style won't affect how I judge the entries.

- If anyone wants the bases off-oekaki, pm me.
- Pm me your entry for feedback on what to improve. You can use the feedback to preferably make a new entry but you can also edit the original entry under the condition "COLORMEIN" is used.
