Whutwhut?!Alright... I've always been one of those people who're like... 'contests like this are silly, why not just design them yourself?!' but... now I've decided to turn to it myself...
I've been designing characters like crazy for a bunch of fics I have planned, and my creativity lobe is just about burnt out... *collapse* so, I figured, why NOT just ask you all for a bit of help here? I'd like to see what ideas you guys can come up w/.
SO.
What I need is pretty simple, a litter for my version of Dingo, and my OC Tiffany, who is Steele's daughter.
The 'rents!Here's a pic (I apologize for the sketchy, icky MS Paint-ness of it... I really couldn't be bothered to do much more atm... x.x )
Dingo obviously is a husky/wolf mix. He's kind of quiet & reserved, but inwardly quite emotional. He's less athletic than other members of his family and is often content to just lay around his humans' house.
Tiffany is a purebred Alaskan malamute. She's one of the more popular dogs in Nome, and has that typical bubbly, charming personality - but she takes others feelings into account more than her peers tend to do.
Standard rules for contests like this apply, but I'll reiterate quickly just in case;
Rules-Enter a picture, plus a small bio if you so choose.
-Work must be your own, however linearts/renders are allowed.
-Enter as many as you want.
-Realistic dog colors, please! I also don't want a thousand crazy, sloppy markings slapped on just to make them look 'unique'... give me something that won't give me carpal tunnel to draw & color
-I'd also prefer a puppy picture, but I won't kill you over an adult one. I'd just rather have the liberty of deciding their adult built/appearance left to myself.
-***
If I choose your design*** you give me the authority to use them in my own fanworks freely, mold their story to fit mine, etc. I tend to work alone w/ my writing so I may not necessarily consult you w/ things concerning the character, however, you can feel free to contact me and make suggestions and whatnot - and credit will still go to your for the character itself, however (as in "[character name] (c) [yourname]" appears where they do)
Don't join if you don't want to comply to this.
No set deadline yet.
I'll probably choose about 4-5.
If you want to add a bio this is all I'd really ask for;
Name:
Gender:
Personality:
PrizesI don't normally have the time to do big elaborate prizes, but if your pup is chosen I will do either *one colored headshot of any of your characters* or *one uncolored/cleaned up sketch of any of your characters*. These can be done either digitally or traditionally, you can pick. My dA gallery:
clickEDIT: And yeah, I know I have like... -nothing- about these two out ATM, but I do have a fic about them well under way (about 3500 words in
) that should be out soon, here's a brief excerpt from their very first meeting (awww)

"Oh, hello," she ejected, seeming to eye Dingo in particular. "Sorry about that, Kodiak, and... what was your name again?" She swished her up-curling tail playfully.
"Uh... it's, uh, Dingo..." the red and white mutt responded, dumbstruck. She was the most gorgeous dog he'd ever seen; she had a rich apricot and white coat, a forked blaze running up her forehead. Her hind paws had a dark, mud-splashed appearance, while her forearms seemed to bear long, elegant white gloves. One of the girl's friends giggled loudly and he realized he must have been staring. He couldn't see it, but the female who led them - Steele's daughter - delivered a swift, light kick in the knee to shut her up. Then she spoke again.
"Nice to meet you, Dingo," she said sweetly, almost sounding insincere. "I'm Tiffany. See you around, I guess. You too, Kodiak." Then she pushed onward, leading her group of ogling, grinning gossiping girls with her. Kodi turned his head to watch them leave, a "good guy" sort of grin glued to his face, but Dingo frowned and kept walking.
i'll join. my enry wil be in this post
