The contest will remain open until Nov 14th, at 7pm EST. Entries will be judged based on originality, fitting within the world, and visual appeal. Artistic talent is NOT the main judging criteria, so feel free to enter even if you're not an artist! A great idea will trump beautiful rendering skills in this contest.

- Please stay within the five major types unless you have an AWESOME idea
- If you prefer, you may simply state the type and then design the dye/accessories
- No companions, please
- Proxies are NOT permitted
- There is a limit of one entry per person, so submit your best concept!
- You may only win one Sentinel from this event


Q & A Time!

Q: Can the Sentinel have genetic tuft or tail traits, or is it just going to be a straight-up regular Sentinel?
A: Well, the judging of the contest is going to be entirely subjective - as in, I'm going to pick the one I like best to colour. xD So if the addition of the trait makes me like the idea better, then I'll do it! If the trait seems tacked-on or silly, then that entry probably won't win. Same goes for trying for a fancy type / mixed type, or asking for specific lines.

Q: Wait, I can only submit one entry? What if I change my mind and like my new idea better?
A: That's fine! You can edit your entry right up until the contest ends, see, so if you want to change your mind and do something completely different that's A-OKAY.

Behold!
Sentinel Type: Any (It'd be funny if it was deep woods or shadow though, completely NOT what it looks like...though for reality's sake we can go Mist if ya want!)
Anything else we should know: It's based off a luna moth (in case you can't tell from my craptastic coloring). I would LOVE if it could have frayed tufts and a split tail to better imitate the moth! heart I tried to imitate the 'fuzzyness' of the moth in the coloring...that's why it looks cloudy! ALSO! I left off the chest spots for a reason. :3 He/She won't be showing them, cause they'd ruin her/his dye job. Plus it'd be fun with everyone like '...he...she...what?'

Behold!
Sentinel Type: Either Deep Woods or Wildtype? [[Though you can choose whichever type is suitable for it. I don't mind. :3]]
Anything else we should know: The colored dots on the example are all of the colors used on the Sentinal. But other than that, nope, nothing else! 8D

Behold!
Sentinel Type: Shadow
Anything else we should know:
He thought he was too boring, and so he got a very extravagant dye job across his entire back, head and face, in the pattern of a sun conure. :3

Behold!
Sentinel Type: Deep Woods
Anything else we should know: He's a tiny b*****d, between 2/3rds and 3/4ths the size of a typical Deep Woods variant. There's really no explanation for this other then he's a flat-out scrappy little runt and in all likelihood has kept a poor diet. Could probably do with a bit more preening as well.

(note: Ambiguous owl is ambiguous! His chest spots can be much less subtle then I made them if he gets chosen. xD He's not exactly effeminate, I think I just made them a bit too blendy :C;; *goes and fixes a bit* )

Behold!
Sentinel Type: Mist/Aberrant
Anything else we should know: Markings based off a neophyte lionfish - basically a coloring job I'm fair and well obsessed with. XD

Zee owl had an odd dream once: she was flying in a wide open space with the sun warming her back; she saw a strangely marked fish swimming in very clear, deep waters. In the dream, she swooped down, diving into the water, and caught and ate the fish -- but was dismayed to find that it wasn't nearly so tasty as it looked like it should be.

Upon waking she decided that she would get her feathers dyed to match the creature in her dream because despite the fact that it was not good to eat, it was very pretty.

Behold!
Sentinel Type: Ghost
Anything else we should know: This is my vision of Ambrosia, the RP-only girl I admitted to the submission thread. She likes birch trees very much and decided to get a dye job to match her home. I'm not sure if someone else did this already. :<

Behold!
Sentinel Type: Ghost
Anything else we should know: This frightful fellow is a Bard who favors scary stories and songs. He uses the dye work on his back in his performances. Rumor has it he also hates having anything sneak up on him.
