Hello, and welcome to my art contest! I've been wanting to do something like this for awhile now, but wasn't quite sure how I wanted to go about setting up prizes or characters to choose from.

That said, I've gone ahead and settled on a batch of options for you guys to choose from, providing variation in species to give a bit more freedom of choice to those of you who may be stronger at certain things over others!

So let's get to the goods!



PRIZES:
First Place: $100
Second Place: $50
Third Place: $25

Runner up rewards:
4-10th Place: Art Swaps!
11th-20th Place: Colored Sketch Headshots!
21st+ Places: Headshot Sketches!

Runner up prizes may shift in number based on how many entries are received!


END DATE: September 1st, 12am PST soft deadline | October 1st, 12am PST final deadline

This will be the final deadline. I will do a check on September 1st to see if entries are still being worked on, and if not it will end then. That means this contest will run 2-3 months.




CONTEST RULES
1. No tracing/heavy referencing/art theft/bases
- I do not tolerate art theft in any way and I do check. If you are caught submitting unoriginal work, you will be immediately disqualified and any potential reward will go to your runner up.
- This includes bases and free to use lineart. You are welcome to collab with a friend and split rewards, you are not welcome to use premade bases. All work must be original. If you are caught using bases or premade lineart, you will be immediately disqualified and any potential reward will go to your runner up.

2. Once art is submitted it means I have permission to share it around for my characters.
- All credit will remain your own, please let me know if there is a particular social account you would like linked for TH uploads!

3. October 1st is the hard deadline, please try to have all entries in by then.
- I am happy to make case by case exceptions, please ask if something comes up and you need a small extension.

4. Multiple entries per person are allowed
- However keep in mind you may only qualify for one of the 3 top prizes. That said, you can place multiple times for runner up rewards!

5. Art will be judged by effort and dedication.
- While skill may influence my decisions, you as a person do not. I will be looking at each piece and fairly judging the effort put into it (:

6. You are welcome to post your submissions to your own socials, always. It's you work -- share it with the world!

7. Have fun! Ask if you have questions about a character -- I am happy to oblige.
