No More Entries Accepted. No if ands or buts



Thank you to all who entered. I am hoping to get the results up by the night of Oct. 14th 2014. But it isn't garenteed. But I promise I WILL get them up no later then the night of Oct. 18th 2014.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lots of point prizes that could be won and can be increased! (up too 300+ Points :points: for first prize)

Update - Oct. 10 2014: There is a one day extension on this contest! I am going to be at the beach this weekend and wont have internet access. So I pushing the deadline back to Oct. 12th at 11:59 PM pacific time.
Update - Sept. 19 2014: There are 12 entries now! Prizes have increased! (old prizes streaked out, new bolded)


I decided I want to do a create an OC contest. Mainly because I have been wanting to do a contest for awhile but needed some points to help support this. And I need help making a new OC -too busy to create a new one atm-. Please follow the rules and read the tips/hints for ideas. And, anyone who wants to contribute a prize is welcomed to! You can still participate if you donate



Rules:


~ Anyone can enter! And I mean anyone.
~ Your entry can be drawn (digitally or traditionally) OR you can write a DETAILED description about the OC (so it will be easy for me to draw -includes looks, body type, clothing, etc...). So a writer or drawer can enter this contest!
~ Even if you don't think you are a good drawer/writer enter! I am judging on design/creativity not how good you do.
~ These have to be new OCs. No previous designs. No previous written descriptions/designs.
~ I am looking to "buy" this OC. Basically, the winning design will become mine (I am the only one who can claim/use it), however you will remain with credit for the original design(but modifications/History/Personality/etc... will be mine). If yours doesn't win you can do whatever you want with your creation.
~ I am looking for humans. No Animals or Half-animals please.
~ If drawn, the entry can be a normal draw or Chibi, but please add some color! (you can do multiple sketches, and color only one.)
~ If I get under 6 entrants(people entering) this Contest will be canceled.
~ If I get over 12 entries all prizes will increase some. Over 24 entries all will increase more. (will only count entries once I get them. And this include multiple entries.) If I get over 50 entries, First place prize will be over 300 points :points:!
~ Please tell me you are planning on entering. Then post a link to your entry here once you are done. I will add both to this journal.
~ You CAN enter more than one picture. But Only one can win.



Deadline:

 October 11th 2014 - At 11:59 PM (Pacific Time)
New Deadline: October 12th 2014 - At 11:59 PM (Pacific Time)




Tips/Hints/Ideas (Not mandatory):

Please do not ask me for more or ask what I want exactly. This is for your creativeness. I don't want you designing a character I can think of. I want one I couldn't. Theses are just some of my preferences but you do NOT have to follow these to win! Though these will help a little in my decision.


~ I do not want to see bases. However, if they are used you wont be disqualified (unless credit for base is not given) but this will lower your chances.
~ A full body drawing will be most likely to win then cut off feet/legs/etc... (so don't do waist up pics/knee up pics) Not required to do a full body though.
~ I prefer to draw females, however, male entries will be judged the same.
~ I like strong looking characters, but not overly muscled.
~ I prefer this OC to have a villain feel. But it doesn't have to. (please no frilly pink preppy girls though.)
~ I like dark hair. Red hair, tipped color hair, or streaked hair is interesting (as long as it isn't bright neon colors that'll burn your eyes X.x -unless it fits with the character-)
~ I like drawing interesting outfits. Something more than a shirt and pants.
~ You make this an OC from the Avatar: The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra world I would love you more! And if you chose to do this, do note I love benders of all elements(besides earth -unless amazingly designed!-). But, it doesn't have to be from this world and if designed well I will still choose it.
~ Please include shoes! Unless there is a good reason for no shoes. (like training uniform in gym, swimming outfit, earthbender XD). Knee high-boots are awesome!
~ Weapons in the design are awesome.
~ Layered clothing is awesome! Makes it more fun to draw. (don't over do this though)
~ I am intrigued to see if someone can create(draw/write) a plus-sized person well, yet make them still look good.
~ I do like steam-punk as well. Just am not good at designing things for it ^^"



Judging:


Your design will be judged on the design of the character. How much detail is put into it, how much thought and work was put into it. Is your OC creative? Does everything on the character make sense (like is the OC wearing sandals but is bundled up for winter?). Is the design interesting enough where the more you look at/read about it the more interesting it is?

I am not judging on how "good" it looks or is written. I just want good details of the character and if it is thought out. No Background/History is being included because I am making up the background once I find an OC I love!

update: Aug-13-2014
I decided how I will break down the judging.
It'll be judged on a Percent Scale:
20-25% - Go to if you used my tips any in your design. (but these I will leave out if I find a design I just love that are not based on my tips!) Not sure on if I want to keep this or not. So if you don't want to go off the tips, don't!
50% - Will go for creativeness/Originality. Have I seen a character like this before? In their look or feel? Could I have came up with this design on my own? Does it remind me of a character in existence already or is this a brand new character? Was there actual thought that went into this character or was this a simple design?
15% - Is this character believable? Could it actually be given a decent backstory? Could it be real?
5-10% - Did you try your best? Did you actually worked hard on the entry? Or did you do a lazy job just to get an entry in? (I will most likely check out your other work and compare. But not likely)
5% - Is it drawn/written well enough I could understand it enough to make the character myself?

Special Prizes:

I decided to add two special prizes for people who don't win the top three prizes. These will be for the entries I think were done the best, but didn't fit for me (ie: I couldn't see owning them but are done really well. Designed/drawn/written well)

The more people enter I will add more categories here!
~If there are no written entries, those points will go towards another category.

You are not elgiable to win these if you win the main prizes
