i'm deciding that now that i have a bunch of c$ again, i'm gonna open another character contest. i've hosted one before that went quite well- so hopefully this one goes even better with slightly higher stakes.
my last contest had a prize of 1.1k c$ + some rares/very rares as prizes, and now we've raised that by 400 c$ in hopes of even more interest--
that being said, there's rules/regulations, as well as specific things you might want to follow for your chance to win.
if there's a character that doesn't win, but i really like the character, i may pm you afterwards to inquire about buying it!
-- for this contest, the character must be a *male human/humanoid*. despite being human/humanoid, they can have multiple forms, if you wish --
this character must;;
- be male
- be human/humanoid (multiple forms such as "wolf form + human form" allowed)
- be made on this thread-- you are not allowed to use "character generators" or "dress up games", and this must also be a character made specifically for this contest. you cannot just go to a random folder on your toyhouse etc and pull one out and say it's your contest entry. characters drawn off oekaki are acceptable, you just have to doodle something from this thread with a cover and put it in the post.
- be original. you have to make your own design, you can't just rip off of someone else's entry, someone else's character, or even mine/my designs. it must be original.
- drawn in a fullbody perspective/reference.
things i personally like;;
** heavily desired / liked

things i personally dislike;;

- wings
- super furry tails
- random colorbomb designs- i like things that are pleasant to look at.
- long hair
- scales
- anthro / feral designs
- bright/vibrant/overly messy/eyestrain designs
food for thought;; (feel free to use these for your design or simply use them as inspiration!)

rules;;
- the design you enter in this contest must be of your own work and no one else's. it must be done by you and you may not copy other entries or simply other art for that matter.
- i can cancel this without choosing a winner (not taking a character) if i don't find the time, motivation, or like of any entries. if this happens (it most likely will not), consolation "prizes" will be handed out.
- if i pick your character and you win, i then own the design and you will receive your prize - upon me owning the character, they are then mine to do what i want with.
- you may sell / keep designs that don't win.
- if i ever grow tired of these characters that win, i will be allowed to resell / trade them off for similar pricings (or more, depending on art + extras).
- cs rules apply
if you don't follow these rules you'll be disqualified from the contest + reported to mods depending on what rule you broke (ie stealing art/characters)
extras;;
- you may pretty up your entry if you wish, ie custom moodboards, slight backstories, extra coding, etc.
