Let`s move on to the challenge!
For the last year and a half I`ve been working HARD on my creative universe, and have finally fleshed out the characters to a point where I`m very proud of them
Therefore, to celebrate, the challenge will be to illustrate one, or more, of the following characters:

For more references of the characters, see my gallery
Here is a little info about the characters to help you with ideas, and as guidelines if you plan to draw more than one character together-Shade and Sprinter are twin brothers. They are both 25 years old, but Shade is an hour older than Sprinter. Sprinter (blue eyes, feather) is the leader of the clan they live with, Shade (golden eyes, earrings) works as a hunter and a soldier, and he never wanted to lead the clan. Shade is a very charismatic, fun-loving energetic fella with lots of confidence. Sprinter is calmer and more self centered, but it`s rare to see him without a smile on his face.
More references of them --->
- Venus is very sarcastic and can come of as a jerk to people if you dont know her. She cares a lot for her family deep down, but she doesn`t like to show it. She`s 5 years older than the twins, and will therefore not hesitate to scold them if they`re being stupid, even tho they are 10 times her size. Long distance scout is her job, but she also serves as Sprinters adviser. Because
Afilia is new in the gang, and a very nervous little girl, Venus is much nicer and milder towards her than she normally is towards others. Venus has kinda grown rather protective of Afilia since she was rescued, but she doesn`t quite know how to help the child out yet. She is also VERY protective of
TufoMore references of her --->
-Tufo is a very happy lad, and he LOVES to tell stories! Mostly stories he makes up as he goes along. He is still a child, only 8 years old, and he JUST learned how to fly so he`s not very good at it yet. Tufo is also a very happy child at heart, and he`s often out exploring or getting himself and others into trouble. He loves to hang out with
Shade, since their personalities mach rather well. He sees both
Shade and Sprinter as his older brothers, and the feeling is mutual.
Venus is also just like an older sister to him. He`s really excited about finally having a friend closer to his age, after
Afilia was rescued, and the fact that she`s very shy and nervous doesn`t bother him at all. He simply loves her company when the others are busy
He is also scared about turning out like
Darius when he grows up, since they are the same species.
More references of him --->
-Afilia is rather new in the gang, since she was recently rescued by them. She`s also still a child (11 years old), and has lived most of her life by herself. Therefore she`s very shy, scares easily and has trouble trusting others. However she has drawn a liking to
Sprinter, and likes to hang out with him whenever he`s not to busy leading the clan. She speaks freely and feels safe with him. She trusts the others as well, and likes to hang out with
Tufo now and then, but he is VERY energetic compared to her, so she can`t always keep up
And she loves snow
More references of her --->
-Darius is a HUGE creature who isn`t found of anything really. He keeps to himself at all costs, and tries to stay away from anything he might hurt. This is because he is possessed, and whenever he looses control of himself, he becomes very dangerous and unable to stop himself. He and
Tufo are the same species, however Darius is corrupted and damaged, so Tufo wont look like him whatsoever when he grows up.

RULES AND COMMON QUESTIONS:
-
Can you draw more than one character? And will it effect your chance to win? The answer is YES, you may draw more than one character in the same illustration, and depending on how well they work off of each other in the drawing, it WILL increase the winning chance!
However! You may not include more than 3 characters! This is to avoid to complex pieces, and to make it more fair for the people who aren`t as comfortable with drawing groups pics. If you REALLY want to include more that 3 characters in one drawing, send me a note about what your plan for the drawing is, and we can work it out
-
Can you cooperate with someone else while making the contest entry? The answer is YES, as long as you and your work-partner have sorted things out between you regarding the price. You may NOT commission someone else to draw an entry, and enter their work in the competition under your name. If somehow the person you`re commissioning is fine with this however, I won`t interfere, but make sure to credit the work to whomever made it.
-
Does written pieces count as an entry? The answer is NO, unfortunately. This contest is looking for illustrations. However, every drawing-technique is allowed, as long as the end result is an illustration of some sort where the character(s) is recognizable.
-
Is it allowed to make a comic page, or two/more separate pieces that belong together? The answer is YES, you may draw a comic page, OR two correlating pieces. You may
NOT enter more than two entries to the contest, this to make it more fair for those who don`t have the time to draw two pieces.
-
May you draw the characters as humans/anthropomorphic? The Answer is NO, I do not accept human-versions, however i MAY accept anthro-versions, but this is not guaranteed, so I would advice you to send me a note with the sketch before continuing on, so I can accept it before you put to much work into it.
-
Can you draw the character(s) in gore/mature/sexual context? The answer is NO. I accept blood and/or scary/dramatic settings, but pure gore is to much. In addition I do not accept sexual content. If you`re uncertain of how much "gore" you can include, send me a note.
-
May you animate one or more of the characters as an entry? The answer is YES, animation is of course allowed. Color will not be considered as much if you choose to animate. The main focus will then be appeal, anatomy and accuracy to the character(s).
-
What will I consider the most when choosing the winner? When it comes to the illustration itself I will first and foremost consider the character(s). This means, I will consider anatomy, appeal, drawing style, accuracy to appearance, expressions, poses and emotions the absolute highest when choosing the winners
If you choose to draw more than one character, it will help you out A LOT if the characters act according to their personalities, and the relationship between them
I will also look at how accurate the size difference is (Size sheet is in my gallery). This means that I will put less consideration into stuff like background, VERY DEFINED details and how early your entry enters the competition. Therefore I would not advice you to draw a massive landscape with the character far away from the camera or very small in the frame. Uncolored pieces are of course welcome as well!
THE DEADLINE TO THE CONTEST WILL BE NOVEMBER THE 15`th (15.11.19)
I will announce the winners and give out the prices the day after.
The price money will be delivered via PayPal.
