I am not very good at making my own characters as I can never quite figure out what I want for myself, so I decided to do a contest!
prizes
1st place- 78 GB + 1 free commision from me any type except banner + deccennial base app + atlas body, and marking app
2nd- 42 GB + 1 free commision from me halfbody, bust or headshot + protea nectar + atlas body
3rd- 28 GB + 1 free commision bust or headshot+ chatoyant enamel + atlas fur

I set up an inspiration board of what I want as far as style and mood

Rules and notices-
Absolutely No NSFW or heavy gore
Follow lioden rules
No tracing or ai generated artwork
I am okay with bases as long as you have made them or have permission from the user to use in this instance
Please if you are making a shaded piece also include the flats
If you do not win 1st-3rd place you may keep the character design and do what you please, sell, store, auction it
The free commision prize is up to you and can include shading frames background and scenes
End date will be announced once there are at least 5 participants end date June 21
More prizes may be added depending on participation
Every 5 participants will add at least one more prize!(does not include first 5) (the prize will be at least 5 GB or higher or an item equal to 10 or higher)
I am okay with any style you would like to do!

What I am looking for-
I would prefer a human/oid design, however I am open to feral and antrho and if you wish to make one those It will not affect your winning chance
I would like the characters main colors to be orange, pink, pink or orange off white, and dark purple
I am looking for a creepy cute character with either pumpkins or skulls included in the design with flowers
I am okay with light gore, if you are looking to do light gore I would prefer the blood to be a colorful such as blue or purple
I am not the best at making inspiration boards so of course you do not need to use all the photos for your inspiration
I would prefer them to be a younger oc more sweet but deadly looking however I am not opposed to older either
I am looking for a full body drawing or half body, does not need to be a reference sheet however
Does not need to be shaded
Would prefer colored but does not need to be
Digital is preferred, however traditional will not impair your chances as well


I believe I have covered everything if there is something you are still wondering feel free to ask!
