Themes: Stripes, monochrome and fruit Explanations: Well, I picked a lemon to work with, so I used a lot of yellows (and gold) to aid with the colors, and I just made her hair have stripes in it because I thought it'd look cute. Your favorite part: It was fun to figure out the color scheme. Your theme suggestion: Twins

This week's entries are in! I'm so glad even the fewest of people can get a wonderful idea for the themes!! I'd like to first say a word about some entries! spacegoddessnova - What a cute design!! I really love how the bottom of the dress resembles the inside of a lemon, and cute idea making her hair stripey! The three themes are well mixed into one design. Thank you for entering my contest! Congratulations, mangolee for your winning weekly design! Lovely piece of art with a great use of colors. A lot of effort seems to have gone into this creative idea, which I think you have pulled off very well! Great idea making the character both animal and fruit, as the stripe theme makes sense for the animal and the fruit being their body components is really unique and interesting! Wonderful job in this week's design, thank you for the entry! Thanks those 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!
It's a new week! Week 3- Due Saturday June 24th, 11:59PM EST
This week's prizes: 1 humanoid headshot from schribbit

Themes: Slime, Fantasy, Decay Explanations: ((Couldn't think of anything last week! Sorry;;;; ) A very unfortunate knight walked into the wrong cave, and ended up becoming a meal for a sentient slime. It dissolved the skin and muscle away and has almost completely finished off the bone. But the armor has proven the test of time. Your favorite part: I like the way the slime looks! Reminds me of jello Your theme suggestion: wheels

Themes: Slime, Fantasy, Decay Explanations: My unicorn here was trying to cast some sort of spell and it ended up going horribly wrong. Her skin and mane started turning to goo and falling off of her body. Will she be able to fix it before she's nothing more than a skeleton? Probably not. So yeah, the slime is pretty obvious, I chose a unicorn as my fantasy object, and I think I'd consider the fact that the slime seems to be slowly falling off her body until she's nothing more than muscle and bones to be decay-ing of the skin? Your favorite part: I seem to keep trying new things for these challenges, and though I've drawn in the My Little Pony style before, I never thought it looked good enough, so I'm happy that this turned out really nice. Also, slime is super fun to draw! Your theme suggestion: fish

Themes: Slime, Fantasy, Decay
Explanation:This is a child's innocence. She melts away under trauma, and decays more and more with each tear. But she refuses to die, for the holder of this deteriorated innocence wishes to hold on to this lost trait. To keep the 'fantasy' of a happy life alive
Favorite part: The skull!! Proud of how that turned out
Sorry abt how edgy this is yall ive been in a bad heckin mood recently
Theme suggestion: Pastel Goth

Themes: Slime, Decay, Fantasy Explanation: So he is half elf and half slime creature. He wields a cursed sword that when it touches an enemy they decay into bones. Unfortunately the sword has began to decay his own hand, but thankfully he has a magic bracelet that is slowing the decay and keeping it just to his hand for now. Favorite Part: Probably the coloring on the slime. It is the first time I've drawn slime but I think it came out pretty good. Theme Suggestion: Fairy

Themes: Slime, Fantasy, Decay Explanations: They say a fairy doesn't do well when captured. They were meant for freedom and mischief, not captivity. You knew she'd lose her glow and slowly die. You didn't know she'd make such a mess as it happened. This fairy was captured and put in a little cage. The depression of captivity causes her to decay, before even dying, pieces of her melting into a viscous black slime. Its very acidic. Difficult to clean without burning oneself. A way to punish her captor one last time. (Sorry this is so depressing orz I saw "decay" and my mind immediately went to the darkest concepts I could think of.) Your favorite part: How limp and gross her hair looks. And her rotting wing. Your theme suggestion: Victorian

This week's entries are in! Ohhh look at these!! I'd like to first say a word about some entries! gunny - Ahaha this poor knight! For some reason even though the sentient slime took over, this idea seems humorous to me...I can see this being an enemy in an RPG game!! Very nice design and fun story! heartlessgem - Oh this poor unicorn! For her to be decaying though, it must have been a dangerous spell! I really like the idea behind it and I think the execution went well! emily - I really like where you went with this one, making the character a manifestation of innocence that someone is trying to keep with them is a very sad thought and I think it's done well. Very nice job with combining the themes in a different way! katscantdraw - Very straight-forward interpretation of the themes, and I think it's done very nicely! The skeleton parts are nicely done, everything seems very well put together and makes sense. Great work! eternalashley - Awww his design is so cute! I love his expression and the fantasy clothes you designed are nicely done! Good job on thinking of the ways of connecting the themes! I think your idea is well thought out and works! Congratulations, somniari for your winning weekly design! Really great work nailing the emotions on this one. I can almost feel her pain as I look! Nice choices in colors as well, everything about this picture makes me feel sad for the character. As for the character, I think you've done a great job combining all three themes in a design that works, clearly showing all themes in the final design. Thank you very much for entering! 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!
It's a new week! Week 4- Due Saturday July 1st, 11:59PM EST

Themes: bunny, sparkles, candle Explanations: Bunny: Kinda straight forward. I thought about giving her bunny ears but decided against it. Sparkles: There's sparkles in the candle light and i gave her a starry background. Stars are twinkly, right? Candle: I based the drawing on St. Lucia's Day. Your favorite part: I tried a different way of coloring. i dont know if i like it but it was a fun experiment. Your theme suggestion: Lily

Themes: Bunny, Sparkle, Candle Explanations: So its pretty straightforward with how I used the themes. A rabbit made of candle wax, which makes it a candle. Its eyes are like jewels and they sparkle a lot, I'd also like to imagine that the flames can light up like sparklers when this little guy gets excited. Your favorite part: I like how the flames came out and the sparkliness of the eyes. Suggestion: Virus

Themes: Bunny, Sparkle, Candle Explanations: This girl here is the personal assassin of the Red Queen of Wonderland. She uses her power over fire to control candles and burn her victims to death. Her next victim can always be seen in the mirrors on her dress, and this time the queen has sent her after the White Rabbit for conspiring with Alice and the White Queen to take over Wonderland. Her skirt also sparkles like the night sky and is made with a special Wonderlandian fabric that serves as a portal in which she stores her other weapons if she ever needs them. The Candles are pretty obvious, the bunnies are the white rabbit on her skirt, and the sparkles would also be on her skirt. Your favorite part: I'm like, in love with the whole concept of this character. Suggestion: Zippers

Themes: Bunny, Sparkle, Candle Explanations: This is Firecrackhare, a vigilante who uses firecrackers as distractions to do whatever business is necessary. I decided to combine the idea of candle and sparkle into one thing: a firecracker. That's shown on the firecrackers adorning her, and the sort of glow on her jumpsuit. The bunny concept is in the mask, the skin slit in the back, the facepaint, and the logo on her firecrackers. Your favorite part: I like the color scheme (black and red for life yo) and how I took the concept. Suggestion: Beach
