Okay I wasn't going to go through with this because I don't really like how what I did came out qq But it's about time I just go for it 'cause this thread has always caught my eye. Themes: technology, fairy tales, clock
Explanations: So this is basically Cinderella??? (that's the fairy tale part) But I imagine this young lady being approached by a futuristic organization called Midnight Strike. The group grants people the ability to use super-suits to overcome a threat of some sort (tech). When the clock strikes midnight the suits lose their power and the job has to be done. Your favorite part: I like the palette the most, I think I was on the right track with the outfit, too. It's supposed to be made of a glassy material. Your theme suggestion: object head

Themes: fairy tale, clock, technology Explanations: This one was fun to come up with. Once again I apologize for the sloppiness, but I'm sure you understand. So this is the Ginger Bread Man, a code name for this guy who goes around as something of a hired man for anything someone wants done (though, I'd say he draws the line at assassination). He has robotic leg enhancements that allow him to run at high speeds, his quick movements powered up even more when he goes into his overdrive mode, where he spins his belt buckle (an hourglass- that is a clock, no?) and slows time around him to help him carry out his tasks. He can only do this a low number of times, as the technology is still early and he has been advised not to abuse it too much. He's very hard to catch both for those looking to arrest him and those looking to hire him, his equipment provided by a secretive organization who end up being the reason he takes on a lot of jobs- he has to pay off the technology somehow, you know? I expect his actual legs were probably non functional before they reached out to him. Run, run, as fast as you can. You can't catch him- he's the Ginger Bread Man.Your favorite part: The whole thing, really! I kind of want to make a story out of it hahah! Your theme suggestion: Angel

Here's my entry! (Urghh handdss) Themes: Technology, Fairy Tale, Clock Explanations: They are based of the Mad Hatter. For technology the first thing that came to my head was modern technology, not like futuristic stuff. I hope that's ok?? At the bottom of the rabbit hole they watch enviously at the people up above through her phone. The clock is stuck on 6, and so therefore it is always tea time. (I tried ok) Your favorite part: This was a bit out of my comfort zone, I usually only draw humans. (Even though they are humanoid.) I think I pulled it off ok for my first time. I think my favourite part is the clock. Your theme suggestion: Uhhmm maybe fireflies?

This week's entries are in! What an amazing week! You have no idea- this week has killed me! I love fairy tales so much, it's so awesome seeing all these characters with the little twists you've given them! Great job! I'd like to first say a word about some entries! heartlessgem - Love this so much! Your idea is so interesting, and everything works so well together! I'm so impressed by how the themes go together so nicely to make this design! Great work, I can tell you worked very hard and had a fun time making the design! gunny - Ohh look at that! Nice work! The bean timer is such a great idea. Love the steampunk vibe. Great color choices, too! Everything ties together nicely in this interesting and fun design! Allie - Little match girl, so cool! I really love the idea, her needing to keep warm to stay operational. Everything looks very well put together! Nice job!! somniari - Lovely job! Great idea using Beauty and the Beast, it all seems like this is how it was supposed to be! Great job on the design, I can tell much effort was put into the construction of it! I hope he can be saved from the "spell" soon! ♡GissyEva♡ - Awww what a cute idea! I love this so much! I like how you combined two fairy tales, very nice! I also love the technology of the basket following her. Great work! •Coco• - Ohhh, so cool! I love her dress, her whole look is so adorable! I also love the idea of her being part of a secret organization, and the way you worked in the midnight deadline with clocks was great too! Great job, thanks for entering!! acetheglaceon - Very creative, I like how you used object-head to relate to tea time, since that's such a big part of mad hatter and such! I also love the color pallette you chose. Very nice! Great work. Great job with this idea! There seems to be lots of effort put into both the designs of the characters and objects, and the general scene they were put in. I love the concept of putting sleeping beauty in cryogenic sleep- I feel like this should already be a scifi movie of some kind! I wonder what kind of world sleeping beauty will wake up to? Anyway, great job. I can tell you worked very hard on the idea and execution. Thanks for all your hard work! Thanks everyone who entered! Even if you didn't win, you always have a chance next week, or even for the monthly chibi raffle! The more times you enter this contest, the better chances you have of winning that~! But more than that, my goal for this contest is for us to all have fun together, getting better at designing characters!

Themes: Seashells, Mirrors, Rings Explanations: I made a water elemental based on a nautilus that lives inside a mirror. (( Seashells: The shell on their head is a nautilus shell, and I also gave them a cowrie and turret shell necklace. Mirror: They live inside the circular mirror. Rings: Nautiluses moves via jet propulsion, I figure this elemental's primary abilities are based around that as well as echo location.)) Your favorite part: The layers of water transparency Your theme suggestion: ancient

Themes: Seashells, Mirrors, Rings Explanations: I know I cant win this week but I still wanted to design stuff, so here is a little goddess looking girl. She is supposed to be sort of based on the aquarius zodiac sign. She has a magic ring that can show dreams. Her outfit has seashells on it and her headdress and shoes have mirrors in them, which kind of goes with the whole showing someone their true selves. Your favorite part: I really just like everything about this image. Your theme suggestion: Classic Monsters

Themes: Seashells, Mirrors, Rings Explanations: My character here is a mermaid that was trapped by an evil sea witch in this cave with nothing but a mirror to see into the outside world. The mirror only works if it has something from the outside to channel through, and since rings from lost loves are constantly finding their way into the cave, she uses them to look out to the world as she can only dream of love for herself. As for the Seashell part of the design, when she's not using the mirror, she'll search the cave for shells to decorate her hair, it's one of the only things that brings her joy.Your favorite part: I like the concept overall, I'm also proud of myself for drawing an actual scene considering I'm not good at backgrounds Your theme suggestion: Stars?

Themes: Animals, Desserts, Pop Idol Explanations: This is children's pop sensation: Sugar SWEET Bun! I based her design off of these cute little rolls I adore that are shaped like plush lil buns- I'd imagine they are made of sweet dough so that how it's a dessert!! Sugar SWEET love to dance around stage and sing songs everyone can "hop" too, heh. Your favorite part: As soon as I saw the need to pair animals and desserts together those bunny rolls popped into my head immediately and the design came so natural to me! I guess my favorite part would be the fact I was just really inspired to make it!! Haha Your theme suggestion: Space!

Themes: Animals, Desserts, Pop Idol Explanations: She is a pop idol based on cupcakes and Dalmatians. Her cupcakes are accented with strawberries and her Dalmatian spots are reddish-pink to match. Her skirt is shaped to resemble the frosting on a cupcake with the frills looking like the wrapping on the cupcake. I'd like to think that her idol name would be Sweet Howler or something like that. Your favorite part: The color scheme and that beautiful skirt Your theme suggestion: Superhero

Themes: animals, desserts, pop idol Explanations: Strap yourselves for this, folks! This is the pop idol of the obscure things! This pop idol is a long eared jerboa and her theme is lemon cookies!! She sings about the most obscure things possible! (I.E. Walking and Talking Lamps, A Box for Sale, ect.). One top of all that, her style of music is the style of Pop from the 80s so a lot of hipsters love her!! Your favorite part: Honestly, I like coming up and coloring the design! What inspired it was some of the outfit designs from Love Live! ^^ I know I might've been stretching it with the green her but this is based off from what my mother told me. (How in her home contry, Lemons are called Limes and Limes are called lemon.) Your theme suggestion: Childhood Cartoons? (That counts...right?)

I've been a bit fuzzy with art lately but here we go! Themes: animals, desserts, pop idol Explanations: I wanted to make something with a harder edge than the design prompted, but still maintaining something cute. So I used the band BabyMetal as inspiration and made a pop-rock idol based off of bear claws. The bear claw part comes in the guitar and the hair (the darker parts are hair clips) while the bear comes in the amp and in the namesake. Your favorite part: I think the amp and the guitar make it really fun, as well as putting a different spin on it. Your theme suggestion: Garbage

Allie - Nice job making your character a bit different going the edgier route! I was hoping someone might. The colors all work very nicely with each other in your piece.

Congratulations, Missy R. for your winning weekly design! Very nice character concept, I love all the details in the design relating to the bees and dessert themes. The little button on her shirt and the design on her tie are nice little details! I also love the beehive hair, glad you went with that!
