I'd like to first say a word about some entries! mangolee - Really lovely design here! She feels like she came from a folk tale, or an old painting! Really nicely captured. Lovely design! eternalashley - I love the idea to make the bunny literally made of candle wax, that was a really great way of combining the themes! As well as the pretty eyes, love it! I can see this guy on some magical world, perhaps causing some mischief! Great job on theme combination ideas this week! heartlessgem - Ohh interesting! I love the idea of having the face of the next target mirrored in her dress! The dress being magic in general is a great idea. Love the look of all those candles floating around, really makes this character seem scary and powerful! Great job combining themes this week! Congratulations, Allie for your winning weekly design! I love this idea! A superhero type character with these themes really work, somehow! I can see this character going around saving the day with questionable actions haha! I just love how you combined the ideas of candle and sparkle into one, that's really great! Not to mention the amazing superhero name. Firecrackhare seems like they were MEANT to be!

She has a dress made of a garbage bag and plastic, white her crown is made out of a cardboard box. Her multiple limbs are her 3 tails. Your favorite part: I like the concept of using a raccoon along with garbage Suggestion: Glass

Themes: Garbage, Crowns, Multiple Limbs Explanations: The background behind my little girl here is that she ran away from home and ended up living in the junkyard where she "crowned" herself princess of the junkyard. Her crown is made of some old tin foil she found while rooting through the trash, and that leg there is from an old mannequin she found, and she uses it as her "royal staff" Her cape is an old quilt she found, and her skirt is a trash bag. The crown and garbage are a little obvious, I went t=with the mannequin leg as being an "extra limb" seeing as it was a limb that was just lying around Your favorite part: I like how I was able to make her look dirty, that airbrush tool works wonders Suggestion: Scales

This week's entries are in! Look at those!! Even if there are few entries, people still do a great job!! I'd like to first say a word about some entries! heartlessgem- Oh such a cute idea making her a runaway and pretending to be princess of the junkyard! Great idea there, seems very much what a child would do! Love the "royal staff", that's great! Ohh I love the idea of making the character a raccoon, it really fits with the garbage theme! I love all the different ideas of making the garbage things into her dress, makes a very interesting piece! Love the cardboard crown as well, and nice job giving her multiple tails, those are neat! Thanks so 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~!

Themes: Fur, Chaos, Seasons Explanations: This is Autumn the Hedgehog my original OC character (do not steal). The fur part is that she's a furry. Chaos is that she has a chaos emerald. Seasons is that her name is Autumn. Your favorite part: Everything Your theme suggestion: going fast
JK I'm so so sorry. eternalashley and heartlessgem put me up to this just because I had a sonic phase once. Anyway, here's my real entry: Themes: Fur, Chaos, Seasons Explanations: Iser is a winter spirit. Cold doesn't harm him, but he likes to wear furs; the proof that he conquered the animals he wears. His limbs appear frostbitten, but they function just fine. One of four spirits, he was meant to simply assure the changing of the seasons when it was his turn. However, he grew to enjoy flexing his power. First, the winters were harsher. Then, longer. Finally, he caused a year-long winter. When the other spirits of the seasons tried to stop him, he froze them all solid. He revels in the chaos. Who will stop him? Your favorite part: His face Your theme suggestion: Threads (Again, I am so, so sorry lol)

This week is up! One entry, I see! By default, it is the winner! Congratulations, somniari for your winning weekly design! (Goodness gracious when I first saw your post I really thought some random person was about to be trollin me, but thank goodness it was you ahaha.) I really love this design! It's very nicely done with colors that work well, shapes that compliment the themes and are fun to look at, and a great general feeling of how this character might act. I love the story as well, who will stop this fiend?!
It's a new week! Week 3- Due Saturday July 22nd, 11:59PM EST
Themes: SPECIAL WEEK!! Redraw one of your earlier designs. Sometimes we think of something cool to add but forget, or maybe you just think you want to draw a new picture for that design! (Do not enter the same drawing, must be a redraw/redesign, a week you didn't participate in, OR an entry you weren't able to finish on time for one of the weeks.)
(Since I believe it is unfair to judge entries of differing theme combos against one another, this week's prize will be a raffle! If you enter this week, you are automatically put on a list of others who join this week, and someone will randomly be chosen as a winner!)
This week's prizes: 1 humanoid headshot from schribbit
Entry Form: [Your image] Themes: [this week's themes] Explanations: [explain where the themes come into play in your picture] Your favorite part: [optional, but I'd love to see you give yourself a compliment!] Your theme suggestion: [Suggest 1 theme, and I might use it in next week's contest, or a future contest week.

Themes: Garbage, Crowns, Multiple Limbs Explanations: I had this idea but not enough time to sit down and draw it until now. garbage: I named this character 'lord of sludge'. They're a heap of filth that gained sentience. crown: i envision them as a high ranked demon/prince of hell. You'd probably encounter them in the fifth circle. multiple limp: people and creatures that are consumed become part of the amalgamation. Your favorite part: i'm pretty damn happy with how the entire thing turned out. Your theme suggestion: bell

* I've been given permission from Cassiroll to double post in this threadThis month is up! Unfortunate that there were no entries this week, and even more unfortunate is that since there were not 10 entries in total this month, the $10 is no longer available as this month's prize... I'm so sorry! Maybe next month! Congratulations, mangolee for your winning monthly design! The craftsmanship of this entry is unique, impressive, and intriguing! All themes were taken in and implemented in such different ways. Thank you very much for entering that week! Congratulations, heartlessgem for winning the monthly chibi raffle!

Themes: elements, elegant, transparency Explanations: This is Lady Argon, a member of the chemical nobility, and a fashion model in her spare time. I interpreted elements very differently, as chemical elements! This design is based on the chemical element and noble gas argon. It can glow much like neon, and the colors it emits are purple, blue and pink. My color palette (mostly) came from a picture of an argon emission tube. There's also the tubing on the dress that glows, and the hairpin/crown is also a diagram of an argon atom. For elegance, I tried to design a high fashion dress, because I think they can be pretty elegant. I also think of long flowy bits when I think of elegance, like the half-skirt part. The transparency was used in the pink parts of the dress; it's made out of a transparent fabric (chiffon? tulle? idk). The main dress has cutouts where that fabric is. Your favorite part: I want this dress irl. I wouldn't have the guts to actually wear it but... I still want it. Your theme suggestion: Chess

Themes: elements, elegant, transparency Explanations: Elements: she is based off of the element of air. Elegant: I made her a ballet dancer v. jewelry. Transparency: I thought it's be cool if she herself was transparent. I figured she'd be able to turn into air itself. Your favorite part: I had a lot of fun making her transparent Your theme suggestion:insect

This week is up! Ohhhh look at these, so beautiful!! I'd like to first say a word about some entries! mangolee - Very nice job combining transparency and elements in this one, they flow together with elegance ahahah!! That is to say, the overall design is elegant as well! You've done a great job this week, creating an interesting visual design that works so well with the themes! Thank you so much for entering! Congratulations, somniari for your winning weekly design! The direction you went with this was very nice! It makes me feel like there is an entire world for these elements that would be so interesting to see! Wonderful job, especially using a noble gas- it works so well with the idea of elegance! Great job using mostly the color palette of the element you chose, that's a very nice touch. Not to mention the design of the dress is different and intriguing! Lovely job this week, thank you for entering!
THANK YOU everyone who has entered thus far! Due to being very busy I unfortunately have to postpone the next three themes for at least 1 month! I am very sorry! I just can't afford to take the time to draw the prizes so often anymore- I hope you understand! However I will do my best to reopen the contest September 1st!You've all been just wonderful, your ideas were all so amazing and I wish I could reward you all with all the money I have! I have had such fun these past few months and I'm so glad to have shared that fun with you! The next 3 theme contest will start September 1st!
