What do you need to draw in order to get the prizes?? Simple either or both of the following characters. smile They're both my fursonas. (If you do not know what a fursona is.. wikipedia is your best friend.)

Art References & Descriptions

Kumi(Female Fursona)

She's the one that resembles me the best. She's who I am.

Now.. I figured that this may be a bit confusing so here is a short description of Kumi's special traits and things to look out for.

She's part wolf part tiger.
Her fur is of a light gray except for her dark gray almost black stripes or markings, her white tipped ears and white under tail. TAIL
Retractable claws for the hands but not for the feet
Dark brown eyes and reddish brown hair.
Peach paw pads, nose and inner ears.
PLEASE FOLLOW her markings as accurately as you can. It's a uniqueness of hers. Especially the marking on her leg.

Reference image can be found below this sentence.

Now... I know in this reference sheet she's not wearing any clothes... but she does usually wear some. So.. here's some references for that. But feel free to be creative with the clothing.

Here's a few things to know about her clothing preferences.

-She's a tomboy and doesn't like wearing pink/too much yellow or flashy colors and dresses/skirts.

-She likes hats but doesn't wear them much. She LOVES having something around her neck. Examples of that would be... scarf, tie, necklaces, bandanna...

Clothing References!

Here Here too

And you can find more if you look at my deviant art account which can be found here.

Tougar(Male Fursona)

He's the one that resembles me the least. He's who I wish I could be.

Again, I figured I'd give a short description to go with this.

He's part dragon part lynx.
He's got blue eyes and red hair.
His ear tips, elbows and tail tip have red fur of the same color as his hair.
He's got a set of 3 scales. Primaries, Secondaries and Tertiaries.
The Primary scales are yellow and soft which cover the belly and under tail. The Secondary ones are dark red and stronger tenacity than the first. The Tertiaries are rough hard as rock scales which cover his wings and tail top.
His claws and horns are of the same golden yellow.
DO NOT FORGET HIS STAR SHAPES on the his back and his chest. It's what makes him unique.
He's got scales going up along his back which merge in the tail and wings.
His wings are retractable.

Again in this reference sheet he's not wearing much. But usually he does wear some. So.. here's some references for that. But feel free to be creative with the clothing.

Clothing References!

Here

Here's a few things to know about his clothing preferences.

-He likes dark clothes or punk clothes. He's not afraid of showing his torso but rather likes having pants on. (Keep the clothing pg-13 please) He loves jackets, long coats and dress shirts.

-Unlike Kumi he doesn't like having anything around his neck besides the collar of a shirt or jacket.

I'm afraid that's all the clothing reference I have for him.

Things to know if you're gonna draw both characters.(I'll heart anyone who does.)

They aren't a couple!
They are both my fursonas (Furry persona). You can take them as two different personalities.
She's who I am, He's who I wish to be.
(Again keep everything pg-13)

Now that you know the specs, use your creativeness. smile (On post 3 there'll be some tips on how to make me REALLY happy.)

Contest's Length

3 Months! Yep 3!
So no complaining that you didn't have enough time to finish the artwork. >_>

Info on Judging

I will judge the artwork by the time spent and by how well one read through and followed my fursona's descriptions.

Also, I will probably get other "selected" people to help me judge the winners due to the fact that I doubt I'd be able to pick on my own.

But I shall have the last say on who's the winner. (I'll use the input that the others will give me and decide with that and my own thoughts.)

PRIZES!!

As of November 7th, every contestant will receive an automatic 1k for entering their artwork.

1st Place 1 sealed may 2007 letter + 130k = total value of 150k (150 000g)
2nd Place 1 sealed may 2007 letter + 80k = total value of 100k (100 000g)
3rd Place 1 sealed may 2007 letter + 30 = total value of 50k (50 000g)

1st Consolation Prize 10k (10 000g)
2nd Consolation Prize 5k (5 000g)
Special Public Voting Winner Prize ~Please read below.

So here's the deal. I've decided to add yet another prize! Omg... This one can be won by someone who won a prize too.

So what's that extra prize? It's a color artwork draw by me of a character of your choice. Without background... cause I can't stand to color backgrounds on paper. hahaha.

How can one win this extra prize? Easy, I'll ask other people who's artwork they like the best.

Tips for better chance of winning.

***** I LOVE COLORED ARTWORK!
***** I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE follow the info that was given to them as best they can.
***** I SHALL LOVE anyone who draws both of my furs. (Separately or in the same pic.)
**** SHADED ARTWORK is equally awesome but not cooler than color.
*** Background are appreciated but not needed.
** If you are unsure of something or would like to as for more info, don't be shy to pm me.
