- Off-oekaki entries or traditional drawing entries are totally fine! If you can use oekaki to post a 'drawing below' entry please do so, if not you can post them here

- Character/entry description (add in any ideas or details about the character or design if you want, this is optional though!)
- Resale/retrade (whether or not you would allow the character to be resold or traded, and if so what currencies/values would be allowed. please be honest here, if you don't want the character resold at any point just let me know, I won't be discouraged in picking them for that!)

Prizes!
Every entrant may pick one pet from my TRADE GROUP just as a thank you for entering (just send your trade request one you have posted a completed entry, you don't have to ask first ^^)

Now for what you're looking forward to - what are the prizes? Since I will be picking multiple winners as entries come in, the prizes will be a menagerie of different things to reflect what I may have available at the time.
You have the choice to pick the form of currencies you would like to receive if I pick your entry, and can of course mix different currencies if desired. This includes;

C$ - Average of 25C$ up to 100C$ per character (maybe more maybe less depending on quality).

CS Pets - I will be paying in bulk with any desired pets from my TRADE GROUP, and will be offering rares from my RARES DOUBLES. These pets will change often, so be sure to have multiple choices in mind when posting an entry for CS pets.

DA Points - Average of 100-500 DA Points pet character (maybe more maybe less depending on quality).

Art Trade - I am offering three art trade options: 1, I can create art of one of your characters ranging from headshots to fullbodies per entry. 2, I can draw a custom original character for you in exchange per entry. 3, I can draw a custom set of oekaki species/adoptable lines per entry.

Please be sure to list any and all currencies you would be interested in when posting your entries, and what your preferred range of value is. This contest runs on a sort of 'pick your own prize' type thing, and I want to make sure you receive what you want if I decide to pick your character c:

So - What Am I Looking For?
Honestly, it is hard to say what exactly will be an easy win here. I am up for nearly anything and the main reason I'm running this contest is because I want to expand my characters beyond what I am used to. I want new, interesting, and unique characters. That isn't to say that I don't have a type, and to make it a little easier, I will list some of my likes down below. But don't let me these box you in! Get creative and have some fun here <3
And please note - you don't have to be the most amazing artist ever to win! I'm judging these entirely off of the quality of the character design itself, not the quality of the drawing itself. Even traditional entries are perfectly fine c;

Likes:
(For feral - anthro or human versions of feral characters are also okay.)
- Canine hybrids
- Hybrid species in general
- 'Farmed' animals
- 'Unloved' species (rats, bats, spiders, snakes, etc)
- Horns/antlers/spikes
- Exaggerated anatomy (thin spindly delicate/chonky stubby wobble)
- Wings of all sorts
- Multiple limbs/eyes/bits/etc
- Totally natural and realistic animals
- Totally wild mythical alienistic creatures
- Naturally patterned with unnatural bits/highlights minimal markings
- Missing limbs/eyes/bits/etc (respectfully)
- Super fluffy bits with otherwise short fur
- Small simple items
- Glowy/sparkly/ethereal
- Element themes
- Literally anything???

Likes:
(For anthro-human. Please note I am unlikely to pick purely plain jane human characters, I tend to prefer ferals, however I do like human-animal hybrid type characters or shapeshifter based humans quite a bit. I have very few of these so they will be a sort of easy win if they are done well.)
- Unique hairstyles, either very short or very very long
- White hair on darker skin, playfully colored hair on lighter skin
- Cutsey modern, flowy/flowery, emo/goth, or rustic grunge fashions (I like standout themes rather than plain clothes!)
- Very pale white skin tones or very vibrant/lively dark skin tones
- Freckly bits, skin patterns, !vitiligo!
- Heterochromia and playfully colored/designed eyes
- Horns/antler/weird teeth/claws
- Tails or wings in human form
- Humanized paw-like hands/feet
- If purely human, lil animal companions

Dislikes:
- Purely neon colored unnatural designs
- Way too complicated/impossible to replicate patterns
- Overdone or plain characters (simple patterns are fine though!)
- Things I already have (feel free to look through my characters)
That's about it. I really am open to just about anything! So go nuts c;
