Important general info:
1. The Tigon is currently frozen on my side account and I’ll guarantee she will not age past 2 yrs when she gets transfered to the winner!
2. If you win, but you haven‘t rolled over in the past 7 days, unfortunatly I can’t transfer the prize and I’ll have to chose another winner.
3. Take your time creating art! If you are not able to deliver your entry before the 20th August, let me know and I’ll run the contest a little bit longer!
4. I will judge by the most creative entry, not by art-style, experience or medium.
5. As talking of medium: Digital and traditional art is welcome. With background or without; a painting or pixel art; watercolor or ballpoint pen, the medium and style doesn’t matter, but creativity does!
6. As of writing: Storys and poems are also welcome, BUT: I’m not a native english speaker. I wouldn’t say I’m bad either but I am probably not good at telling good or bad storys/poems (especially poems) apart, so I don't recommend it. But I’m not stopping you, go ahead and write something if you like to!
7. Detailed Info about allowed and not allowed themes are written in each characters bio!
8. You can enter as often as you like, but you can only win once (and you also can get only one consolation prize)
9. Theres no particular theme for this contest, you can draw whatever you want as long as there is at least one of the listed characters drawn! Of course you don't have to draw all characters (that would be too challenging imo. this contest should make fun, demanding to draw all characters would put everyone under stress i guess), entering with a drawing that includes only one character is fine! Drawing more characters is also ok, but will not increase the the chance to win one of the 3 main prizes.
10. Make sure you upload your entry on a website, that doesn't delete old pictures automatically! I can not judge what's deleted!
11. If you are interested in joining please write something below so I know how many people are interested in joining this contest!
12. Still any questions? Feel free to ask below or send me pm!
Addition 2021-07-10:
The art has to be done entirely by yourself. Please do not use any templates made by someone else, don't trace over someone elses artwork or use avatar makers. I thought this would be obvious for an art contest...
Characters
Napoleon – Cat
*10.05.2016 - †06.01.2020
Napoleon was my very first own pet, and he died way too early.
I miss him very much and he will always have a special place in my heart.
Breed: normal house cat
Color: Tuxedo
Courious, didn’t liked strangers, slept very much when he was inside, but also followed me everywhere in our garden. A noisy cat, but I gave as much love back to him as I got. Napoleon was always up for cuddles and demanded them loudly.
Rules & Info:
-Please do not draw him with his blue collar that is shown in one of the pictures. He wore it only the first weeks, after that he figured out how to open it and he never got one again.
-no sexual stuff
-no gore/bloody stuff
-don't draw him as an anthro
-please don’t draw him with my other characters/pets in this thread. He never met my two current cats and it would just feel weird for me seeing him with them.
Leonidas – Cat
*30.10.2019
My second pet, a pure housecat. Since Napoleon I’ve became kinda paranoid when it comes to my cats and the outside world. His best buddy is Faruq.
His build is Main Coon-typical: large paws, thick legs, lynx ears, long fur on his belly and tail (his 'mane' still needs to grow), quite a long body. Overall an oversized cat in every aspect.
Also the classical 'maine-coon-lion-face' starts to come through.
Breed: Maine Coon
Color: black silver spotted tabby with lots of white
Doesn’t really know how to purr, but when he does, it’s veeeery quiet and I always enjoy the moment when he does that. Hates strangers, likes being petted in the head-area, but not on the belly or back. Will do anything for treats. Has the looks of a warrior but the voice of a smol kitten. Fav sleeping position: on his back, legs spread in every direction to show his nice fluffy belly, but beware of razor sharp claws! Also, more of a lazy cat, but also intelligent when it comes to teaching tricks.
-no sexual stuff
-no gore/bloody stuff
-don't draw him as an anthro
-please only draw him with Faruq; Leonidas never met Napoleon
-he’s a housecat, but I’d love to see pictures of him being outside!
Faruq - Cat
*25.08.2019
My third pet, also a housecat. A little bit older than Leonidas, but he came to me a few months later than him. Has a slender build, small paws, longer legs than Leonidas but his belly pouch lets him look a little bit chubby. Overall a athletic build. His muzzle-whiskers are white, but his eyebrow-whiskers have the same rusty color as his fur. He always reminds me of a small cougar.
Breed: Abyssinian
Color: Fawn, but with a really small white spot on his chest
Purrs like his life depends on it. If he comes to me purring, he wants to be touched. Doesn't matter where, he just wants body contact, however not a particularly big fan of being carried in my arms. A very (hyper-)active cat, but also very impatient and not as intelligent as Leonidas. Loves strangers, and always demands pets from them.
-no sexual stuff
-no gore/bloody stuff
-don't draw him as an anthro
-please only draw him with Leonidas; Faruq never met Napoleon
-he’s a housecat, but I’d love to see pictures of him being outside!
Kharv – Dinosaur
Species: Allosaurus (Allosaurus europaeus)
Gender: male
Age: 17 years (adult)
Habitat: Europe, 150 million years ago. The enviroment pretty much looks like a Savannah with dry- and rainseasons.
Length: 7,2m (~23ft)
Height: 2,5m (~8ft)
Takes time to become social around other Allosaurs, he usually stays away from others of his kind. Really likes small trees with bushy branches where he can hide and take nap underneath, most active in the afternoon and dawn.
Good hunter, but is careful around prey that is as large or larger than him, would rather eat Carrion than risking a fatal injury.
His tongue looks like that of a goose, it's serrated on the edges.He can't pronate his hands like the Jurrasic Park dinos! Means his hands are in this position; the insides of his hands are facing each other.
His design is symmetrical, except for the large marking in the middle of his body.
He can't roar, if he does any sounds he hisses or makes similar sounds like Cassowary, just with more bass.
Rules & Info:
- I know his design is a little bit complicated, feel free to simplify it!
- He usually is a loner, but you can draw him with other dinos if you want
-please don’t draw him with my other characters/pets in this thread
- gore is fine
-no sexual stuff
-don't draw him as an anthro
Antaris - Horse
Breed: Hanoverian
Gender: male (gelding)
Age: 12 years
Color: Chestnut
Habitat: a stable in Norway
Height: at the withers is 173cm (~17hh)
His favorite food ist Watermelon an he will do anything to get one. He is trained in showjumping and is very social to other horses, but doesn't really know how to handle foals or little ponys. He just don't understand how a horse can be that tiny!
I don't really have a rider yet for him (because I can't draw humans lol), but I imagine him being owned by a woman with african origin.
Rules & Info:
- Feel free to draw him with or without his braids, tack is also optional
- He can be roaming free, grazing on a pasture or in a showjumping arena or whatever else you like!
-please don’t draw him with my other characters/pets in this thread.
- Drawing a rider absolutly optional!
- no sexual or extreme gore stuff (drawing some blood, candy gore and scratches from a riding accident is fine, just no realistic guts hanging out or something. That's just eww.)
- don't draw him as an anthro
Sethos – My side king
My love for natural-themed lions bought me Sethos on my side-account. He’s my lovely potato king and I would die for him.
If you remove his custom decor you will see his mane type is Incubus, but please draw him like it is shown in his custom decor. The mane I gave him in the decor is inspired by the standard primal mane.
Overall he is quite a bulky lion, friendly and always up for a tussle.
Rules & Info:
- no sexual or extreme gore stuff (drawing some blood and scratches is fine, just no guts hanging out or something. That's just eww.)
-please don’t draw him with my other characters/pets in this thread.
-don't draw him as an anthro
Theres no particular theme for this contest, you can draw whatever you want as long as there is at least one of the listed characters drawn!
For example: The dinosaur Kharv. You can draw him in a fierce, bloody battle or sitting in a blooming field sniffing on flowers. Transparent images, headshots, busts, etc. are also fine! But please don't draw him together with my side king or the horse, they just don't belong together!
Of course you don't have to draw all characters (that would be too challenging. This contest should make fun, demanding to draw all characters would put everyone under stress and that would be too much!), entering with a drawing that includes only one character is fine!
Drawing more characters is also ok, but will not increase the the chance to win one of the 3 main prizes.
(Apart from Leonidas and Faruq; they can be drawn together. All the other character should not be drawn together)
I think it would be nice if people who are interested in entering this contest would write something like 'entering' or so. It would give me a better feedback if people are actually interested in joining this contest, sorry for not adding this info in the beginning! I added this info into the main post now!
I hope this answers your questions, if not let me know!
