Edit2: Only a few days left now. It's the 27th for me currently but I'll end it at 12am on the 2nd. My timezone is AEDT if you want to find out how that relates to you but this way it will be past the 31st everywhere.

Edit: increased 2nd and 3rd prize a little!

Decided it was time I started this so....Design contest!

END DATE IS OCTOBER 31st

=======

This contest has nothing to do with artistic talent. You can be the worst artist in the world and still win as long as you can get your idea across. All you have to do is design me an OC. 

If you need inspiration, here:

These designs are beautiful. A lot of them seem to be mystical and have dragon-esque traits but get creative! The more original the better. While you can design a cat with rainbow, emo hair and red and black wings you probably won't get many points for it. It's been done a million times before and it looks tacky. Original species are the way to go. You can also look at my OC's too see what I like 

Things to keep in mind:

:bulletyellow: The colour scheme. Do the colours fit together well? Clashing neon colours are a no-no.
:bulletyellow: Don't over design. Adding unessesary limbs, spikes and hair is going to take away from the design. 
:bulletyellow: However, don't make it too boring! (Again, see above link for ideas of what makes a balanced design)

:bulletblue:Rules:bulletblue:
This should be obvious but I get to keep the three winning designs. Just so thats clear.
No linearts/bases unless it's heavily modified. You can't really be original when a thousand other people have characters made from the same base
You can enter as many times as you want but you can only win once. 
If you don't win you can do whatever you like with the character. If I happen to like more than 3 designs I might ask to buy it from you though 


:star:Prizes!:star: 
(We all know the only reason people join contests is for the prizes)
:star:1st = 3 month premium supscription + 200 :points: (or 800 :points: if you have a membership already/or just rather points)

:star-half:2nd = 600 :points:

:star-empty:3rd = 400 :points:


Sorry, I have no time for art prizes but since I'm doing gift art until december anyway that shouldn't matter *shameless advertising*

Share this journal.  Not a rule but it would be nice of you ;~; Have fun!
