EDIT: Instead of spamming you all with stretched out journals, i'll be collecting all the contest entries into neat and organized folders! One for the Griffon Designs, and one for the Dragon designs!
You can check them out here:
Griffon entries: amathaze.deviantart.com/favour…
Dragon entries: amathaze.deviantart.com/favour…

I'll be updating as they come in! and i will NOT be commenting on entries! I don't want to seem to show favoritism towards certain entries! No one will know my thoughts till the winners are announced!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ohman when was the last time i held a contest????? It was pretty long ago!!

ANYWAYS, this is gonna be a short, simple, mini contest. <: Please read all of the following if you're interested in joining! And i'll say this here right now before i get people asking:
ANYONE CAN JOIN, AND THERE'S NO NEED TO ASK.
I will NOT post the icons of everyone who is joining (like i used to). Instead, i'll only be posting the thumbnails of the entries when they're noted to me!

so anyways, here we go with all the rules and info and junk!

:star:DESIGN CONTEST:star:

:bulletred: WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO :bulletred:
For the longest time, i've been wanting a griffon and dragon character of my very own. I've never been able to come up with a decent design (for either) that I liked, so that's where this contest comes to play! Your goal is to help me design one or the other! Or BOTH if you'd like!
** PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOUR DESIGN IS CHOSEN, I MAY FIDDLE WITH IT AND ALTER IT SLIGHTLY TO MY LIKING. So please be aware of this, and do NOT get upset if your design is chosen and it gets tweaked slightly!!!! **

:bulletblue: THE GRIFFON: (Straight from Wikipedia: The griffin, griffon, or gryphon is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle.) Please note that your griffon does NOT have to be Lion/eagle!!! You may choose any two animals so long as one is avian, and the other is feline! Just remember that if you choose a small cat, choose a small bird! And vice versa haha!
You can find many drawings of griffons here on DA as well, so if you're not 100% sure what a griffon should look like, do a little quick search!

For my griffon character, I'm looking for something colorful and nice, but not an eyesore! You're free to play with ANY colors you wish (Natural colors are fine too, but i'd reallllly like some color in this one, so it's gotta really be a standout if you're going to go with the naturals!) NO ACCESSORIES! I enjoy simple, yet effective designs! What i don't want is a design that will take me an hour to color in!
I will most likely make my griffon character female, and she'll have a happy-go-lucky personality! So keep that in mind when creating your design!

:bulletblue:THE DRAGON: PREFERABLY an eastern dragon! But If I can find a western design that really sticks out to me, i wouldn't hesitate to take 'em!

For this dragon character, I'm looking for "cool" colors! Blues, whites, greens, and everything in between! Feel free to throw in any other colors you wish, but just make sure the colors don't clash too badly! NO ACCESSORIES!
This character will most likely be male, and have a very sarcastic personality! He won't be a bad guy, just an annoying one lol!

:bulletred: JUDGING :bulletred:
Judging will be done by me and only me! I will NOT be judging by artistic ability! This contest is to find two lovely DESIGNS. You could be the most popular artist on DA, but if someone with just a day's worth of experience comes up with a nicer design, guess who wins!

:bulletred: PRIZES! :bulletred:
There will be TWO winners! I will be picking ONE Griffon design, and ONE Dragon design!

Both winners will receive ONE free commission! $25.00 OR LESS
Winners will be able to choose whatever they desire ($25 or less) from my commissions website! -> amathazeart.weebly.com/prices.…
The winners may also choose to receive a $25 discount towards any commission costing $26+ !
!!!!!PRIZES WILL BE DONE /AFTER/ CURRENT COMMISSION QUE IS COMPLETE!!!!!

:bulletred: DEADLINE :bulletred:
