~Your designing skills are needed to help me complete the task of finishing up Step and Miako's litter(s).

Recently, I have decided to split Komo's and Step's litter, as they were going to have two anyways. The first litter, which initially consisted of Theo, Bart and Lizzie, has now been reduced to only Theo. Their second litter consists of Lizzie and Bart.

Now.

Here's where you come in. I know for a fact that the second litter will have three pups. I also know that the first litter will have at least ONE pup. However. One is a lonely number. I am toying with the idea of making more same-age siblings for Theo as well. SO, I need you to design:

? 1(one) pup for the second litter

? possibly up to 3(three) pups for the first litter *still toying with this idea, but its still fair game. Persuade me........
































11/22:
**Machette and Strider, Step's cousins, are mostly brown because their father was a mixed brown and rust-colored malamute. Besides Garret's and Lulu's small dark brown spots, the pups you are designing should not have much brown.







1. First, to clear the air, yes, you will be keeping the pup you created if he/she wins.

- You will be expected to have the pup keep an active relation with its family unless it moves away or is otherwise unable/unwilling. I will disown or re-posses the pup if it goes un-used.
- I frankly do not care what you do with the pup, even killing it off(xD), but it has to be used.

2. No, you may not keep the pup if he/she looses. Not even if you change the name and the breed.

3. No deadline really. This contest isn't really a huge deal, though it is important.

4. Only one entry per person.

5. 11/19: Post your bio and picture on the SAME POST at the SAME TIME.
I reeeeeeeally don't care if you're 'working on it'. I reeeeeeeeeally don't care if your scanner doesn't work. I really don't care if you may or may not enter.

Don't post until your entry is complete. That's it.

7. I need a link to a character sheet or a decent picture in your gallery of any IMPORTANT characters involved with your pup.

8. Picture must be sent with your entry. I will accept renders, your OWN art, and linearts, however, A FULL-BODY PICTURE OF SOME KIND IS REQUIRED.

If the site is not allowing you to send the picture in for whatever reason,
here are a few good image hosting sites:

- THEY ARE NOT REALLY 'PUPS'. They are pretty much all grown up(Bart and Lizzie both already have mates >> Theo has kids. ). I just need siblings designed for them. That's all.


- The pups in the first litter will be the same age as Theo.

- The pups in the second litter will be the same age as Bart and Lizzie. About a two and a half years younger than the first litter.

- I have no gender specifications.

- colors and markings can be pulled from any family member
...........-try to not go crazy with the spots. They're only 1/4th Dalmatian. I'm not saying 'don't use any', just be realistic.
...........-Stay away from disgustingly bright hues. I know red is common in the family, but you can tell if a color is unnaturally bright. Basically try to keep the markings in harmony.

- No clones. If I think its design is too similar to another family member, be prepared for me to tell you to change the design.
...........-Unless you have a darn good reason, designs and personalities should stay unique.

- Names should be kept sort of 'common'. I doubt that Step or Miako would name their child some random African, Indian, or Germanic name....again, be realistic.

Prize

**contest format taken from one of my earlier(finished) contests

i have my pups in by sunday

Name: Bella
Age/Litter Number: first litter.
Gender: female
Breed: husky/Dalmation/Border collie
Parents: Miako and Step
Siblings: Theo, Bart, Lizzie, ?, ?
Personality: : Acts stuck up and snobby. Always tries to act like a perfect lady and proper. She tends to act like she is spoiled, and seems like she has a good time, but this is just to get your attention. Inside, Bella is very hard on herself. She feels the need to impress everyone, which is the reason she acts the way she does. Very unsecure and weak. Always thinks she is doing something wrong. Very careful and gentle with everything.
Background: Bella was less lucky then she hoped. She was adopted, but her owner moved with out her. New folks soon moved into the house, and they failed to find Bella, who was hiding in a small dugout in the basement. Bella snuck out or into the upper house to find food, on one of her missions, she was found and kicked onto the streets. Bella never told anyone about her owner moving, or being kicked from the house, so when asked she says everything is fine. Bella hangs around the house, to make it seem real.

Bella is often picked on, for how dirty and ragged she looks. She constantly tries to fix these flaws, by rolling in the snow, or just hiding from others. When she got older, Bella’s life turned for the better. She was adopted by the family who kicked her out, she got healthier looking, and more popular. Bella got more ‘proud’ of herself, lifting her personality a bit, but not much.
Future: She just continues on with her life, I am not sure if she will get a mate, or not. She does die, but not soon, from internal bleeding, she is put to sleep.
Other: Bella is tall and elegant looking (when she is bathed and dressed up xD) She takes after a border collie more then anything, but is skinny from dalmation blood. She wears a perky silver bow/ribbon

Name: Rambo (I hope it sounds 'tough' enough xD)
Age/Litter Number: Older than Bart and Lizzie, Second Litter.
Gender: Male
Breed: 1/4 border collie, 2/4 dalmation, 1/4 husky (or whateverrr )
Parents: Step and Komo
Siblings: Bart and Lizzie
Personality:He is rough and tough, doesn't take your crap and tends to make people uncomforable with his presence, since he is so big and strong. He is kind to those he wants to be, protective of those he cares about. He doesn't like being told what to do as he refers himself as a 'badass' simple because he is and everyone else knows it. He's ruthless most of the time as he does the most dangerous (and stupidest) things to get what he wants. After he falls in love with Vada, he stops at nothing to be with her and wants to tell her how he feels... He's still as manly and strong as he can be. He can be stupid while thinking up schemes and even stupider while oing them XD
Background: Being the oldest of his litter, he was always the boss and tough one around, tho, since it was with his little bro and sister, he wasn't harsh with them. He became popular in town, but he seemed for of a..'every man for himself' kind of guy, which attracted people to him. They eventually respected him more after he beat up a few guys who were causing trouble without breaking a sweat. All of the dogs do what he tells them to do because they fear his strength and big built. He be-friends Havoc, and becomes one of his closest friends. He doesn't hang around him for very long, as he does many other things during the day. He comes across a female named Vada, and finds he beautiful the minute he saw her, though he didn't care since he passes by pretty girls all the time. He got curious abotu her and started aberving her when he can, He fell in love with her and does anything to confess his love to her, even tho everything always stops him to do so...not to mention...she likes his best friend, Havoc.
Future:He finds out she wants Havoc and gets pissed off, but not at Havoc XD *doesn't know what else to write*

Name: Renegade
Nick Name: Gade
Age/Litter Number: Younger than Lizzie and older than Bart/ Second litter
Gender: Male
Breed: 1/2 Husky ¼ Dalmatian ¼ Border Collie
Parents: Step and Komo
Siblings: Bart, Theo, Lizzie, ?, ?
Mate: Cordy (for a short while) http://www.animationsource.org/balto/en ... /6016.html after they break up ?? (not sure)
Pups: Balkan ?, Falco?, Amadeus?, Bee?

Personality: Renegade is a loose cannon, he is witty and will experiment with others emotions. He is dynamic, observant, independent, and seems to be unemotional. Renegade craves adventure and excitement. He loves change, new things, and hates routine. He is quite the dreamer. Gade is also encouraging and has a positive nature. Gets very irritable when he is bored or forced to do something… he loves his freedom. Like most huskies he is far from lazy and actually fears boredom to the point where he will leave go for a run, which is why he is in such good shape. Gade is curious and vibrant. He gets his size from his grandfather Aiden. Renegade is attracted to both females and males and says that love can come in any form.

Renegade is very caught up in gossip and because he thinks it is very amusing to know what is going on, he has many friends because of his outgoing attitude and witty charm. He is very close to his cousin Owen and often clings to him a little because he is fascinated to his friend Sparky. He loves hanging out with his sister Lizzie; he often goes for a jog with her. Renegade pushes Bart to be a little more outgoing but respects him and tries to be a good brother. Gade doesn’t really spend much time with his older brother Theo but when he does they don’t do much more than exchange a few words.

Background: Renegade was born shortly after Lixxie and was a good sized pup, and seemed to be pretty healthy. He was sold back to Step’s original family to help herd the sheep on the family’s farm. Step is afraid to visit him out there because of her incident and tells him to be alert. Renegade listened to his mother and took pride in his job. He lived with his 2nd cousin Strider and aunt Amarie but found them to be great company. He learned early on not to talk about Amarie in front of his mother though. He became close friends with his cousin Owen and often avoided Gwen because he found her moody and bitter-sweet. He hung around Owen and his friends a lot because they always seemed fun to be around, especially a sweet and clumsy Lab Pit bull mix named Sparky. Renegade tried to impress him by acting tough and overly outgoing but only ended up hurting Sparky’s feelings. He tried to make things better but only ended up making Sparky feel worse. Renegade realized that he had feelings for the pup and wanted some help but was confused on who to ask. When he ran into Amarie she noticed there was something off about him and asked what was wrong. Renegade tells Amarie about his feelings and she tries to help him the best she can.

Sparky would try to avoid Renegade, and Gade would try to hang out with him as much as possible but often made a fool of himself and embarrassing Sparky in front of their friends. Everyone thinks that Gade is trying to be mean to Sparky but he is really just trying to flirt with him.

Eventually Renegade got tired of the routine of farm life and started to slack from his duties. Sheep started to wander into the forest while he was on one of his runs. He left for days at a time, often distracted by different smells and places. His human family finally just let him loose and he had to fend for himself. Gade didn’t know what kind of life he wanted until he ran into his other second cousin Machette; he loved Machette more than any of his other relatives (besides his parents and sibs) he didn’t understand his mother’s disapproval towards Machette but Gade ignored it and wanted to live with the gang and have the freedom to do what he wants. He also wanted to get closer to Sparky. But the others thought that Renegade would try and hurt Sparky so he wasn’t let in the gang he was an outcast. He found himself a home near a beached boat where Balto the legend was supposed to live. He would still visit Owen often and hang around with his friends but noticed that Sparky wasn’t there as much as he used to be.

Renegade later finds out that Sparky has a crush on a pretty little female named Evalina. Renegade wanted to be jealous of Evalina but couldn’t find him self able to be mad at her due to her optimistic personality and actually tried to befriend her. She would sometimes talk to him when he asked her for advice. He wouldn’t tell her though that it was Sparky that he liked. She didn’t mind a respected his privacy. Renegade soon noticed the feud between Sparky and Fletcher over Eve’s affection. Naturally Renegade wanted Fletcher to win but surprisingly took Sparky’s side in not liking Fletcher.

Gade wanted Sparky to be happy so one day he confronted him and asked Sparky if he wanted help in winning Eve’s heart. Sparky was reluctant at first but soon took to the idea. Renegade was happy because this bought him time with Sparky and he was doing something to make Sparky happy.
But all too soon Evalina found out about the fight over here and started to stray away from Sparky. Renegade started to grow away from Sparky because he felt that he was no longer needed and was afraid that things would go back to the way it was before.

Future: Gade travels to a new town and meets a female and she catches Gade’s attention. Her name was Cordy and she was very pretty and he befriended her quickly. He was surprised by how much he had in common with her or so he thought they had in common. They liked a lot of the same things and after a few weeks they both thought they were in love. Even though they were both very young they decided to have a litter of pups. This the biggest mistake of Renegade’s life. Cordy became very bossy and would cling to Renegade. She would be too lazy to watch the pups and left that for Renegade to do.

Renegade got sick of this fast and one day when his mom’s sled team came to town he asked her for help. Step told him to do what he thinks would be best for the pups. Renegade decided that he did not want to be with Cordy and that if he left the pups with her she wouldn’t take care of them. He went home and took Falcon by the scruff since he was the weakest of the litter and told the others to follow. Cordy didn’t like this one bit, she pounced in front of her young and started to growl “You can’t take them away from me!” Renegade set Falcon down and started to fight with Cordy. Amadeus and Balkan ran to their father while Bee sat their quivering. Cordy ends up being blinded by rage and accidentally hurts Bee. She realized what she did and broke down crying while Renegade and the pups leave her.

When an exhausted Renegade and pups came into town they run into the now mature Sparky. Renegade felt his heart race….. Dun dun dun (not sure where to go from here and I don’t wanna write too much because I think I wrote enough ^^’)

Other: Theme Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxIwRDs1Yc8 Renegade is very ticklish so his siblings and mother use that to their advantage. He is secretly afraid of Ronum but will stand up for his mother or father against him. His aunt Amarie was the first one to know he was bi; this made Step angrier at Amarie.
