Hello everyone!
You may have noticed that my species, Storkatten, seems to have very few options in the way of magic types, and I'd like to change that. So, here is a contest to create your own magic, and your own cats with that magic.
Information
You are allowed to make up to two entries for the competition.
You are designing an entirely new magic type for this competition; none of the existing magic types!
You're designing Paragon Cats; cats that completely and totally embody their magic types and have mastered them far beyond your average Storkat.
With each of your entries, you're required to introduce your magic type, what it does, and what it looks like.
In addition, I will be judging your writing alongside your art; write about your cat, talk about how they embody their magic and why they've earned the role of Paragon. There's no writing minimum or maximum; it's up to you to write what you feel is appropriate. You can add more information about them, and their magic, to your heart's content.
Rules / Designing Tips
You're allowed to edit the lines as much as you'd like, including to add scars, adjust height, fur, tail shape, size, length, amount, etc. There is no limit to what you can do. No custom-lined entries, though, they MUST stay on the lines. (I made these with size 1 pencils, max opacity, no pen pressure, and erased to get tapered lines)
Design Suggestion: Include a physical manifestation of their magic somewhere on their ref. Examples would be water dripping from paws for a water Storkie, flames coming from their eyes for a fire Storkie, or plants growing out of them for a plant-magic Storkie.
There's no limit to traits either; get wild and creative.
No heterochromia; on principle these are Paragon Cats, who've mastered one magic to the point they embody it. Others consider Paragons the first of their kind, which means they are very unlikely to have split magic.
If you have the same magic idea as someone else, that is totally allowed; however your concept / execution of it must be entirely different.
No covers.
Make sure your entries meet CS rules.
Finally, you're allowed to make a 'reserved' entry and work on it over the course of the competition. Please draw or design something before actually posting; please do not post an uncolored Storkie!
Minimum Requirements & Deadlines
You must have a fully completed design by 12/20/2021.
You must finish your writing by December 31st.
The writing portion must have a minimum of 400 words written.
These requirements are specifically to meet the minimum requirements to earn a Standard MYO.
Judging will begin January 1st and run to January 7th.
Rewards / Prizes
I will be choosing a grand prize winner who will win 300 C$.
I will choose 3 Runners-Up who will also win 100 C$ each.
Honorable Mentions and entries I really like will earn supplementary items fitting for their entries; up to and including Legendary, Limited, Rare magic runes, or item edits.
Everyone entering who meets the minimum requirements will earn a Standard MYO for the species. (If you enter twice, and both entries meet the minimum requirements, you may
Those whose magic types are chosen are allowed to keep their cat designs.
--- In the event multiple people are designing the same magic type, I may or may not allow both people to keep their ideas.
I reserve the right to still grant winning status to those who meet the minimum requirements if I really like the magic type proposed.
Those who are not chosen or granted the ability to keep their cat designs will not be allowed to use the designs in Storkies, but are absolutely allowed to transfer the design out of species.
