Hey all! I have very few characters and I'm looking for more, so I thought I would run a little contest to see if I could rustle up a few creative designs from people! I'm not looking for anything super specific but I do have a couple of general guidelines.
RULES
-Must be a new design, on original lines.
-The ref must contain a full body shot and a headshot at minimum; if design is non-symmetrical, you need to showcase both sides.
-There will be one first prize of $40.
-If I like more than one design, I may award a second and/or third prize OR I might just buy the character outright from the designer.
-Designs that don't win are fully resellable.
-I reserve the right to end this contest with no winner if I don't particularly fancy any of the designs offered.
-If you need an extension, feel free to ask; I'll most likely say yes!
-Ends on June 25th as of right now.
BREEDS I LIKE
-Irish Water Spaniel (!)
-Borzoi
-Bull Terrier
-Alaskan Klee Kai
-Afghan Hound
-Catahoula Leopard Dog
-Great Dane (preferably with cropped ears)
-Saluki
-Airedale Terrier
-Shiba Inu
I also like creative mixes AND more unusual breeds, even those not listed. Just be creative and come up with something you've never seen before!
DESIGN IDEAS
-I prefer mainly natural designs with unnatural highlights OR natural-looking patterns in unnatural colors (i.e. purple merle or something)
-I also really like designs that are inspired by nature and other animals (i.e. an oryx-based design or a wood duck-based design).
-I lean towards simple but elegant designs, not something with a dozen colors and multiple patterns.
-Add accessories as you think they complement the design; one or two is good, but not a whole ton of bangles, piercings, or whatever else.
-Come up with a personality as you think fits the character and take full advantage of it. The character's pose(s) should reflect this.
Hope that sparks some people's interest! I look forward to seeing everyone's entries. Good luck!

I feel happy...?
For several years, I have suffered from depression and anxiety. Sometimes I would feel hopeless and in utter despair, but most of the time I would just feel nothing. Totally apathetic to everything, just moving from day to day because that's what other people expected me to do.
It's weird, because awesome things would happen, and I could recognize that "hey, this is a happy situation," but I could not actually feel happy about it. Getting my dogs, getting a job a really wanted, even getting engaged to the love of my life, nothing could make me feel happy, even though I knew they were awesome things and I could sense a sort of analytic "happi
Best Place to Find Me (as of right now)
Right now I'm on Tumblr more than any other website, so here's where you can find me.
http://dantetheiggy.tumblr.com/ <-My personal dog blog
http://simply-canine.tumblr.com/ <-General dog blog (lots of pictures, plus discussions on training, genetics, breeding, health etc.)
http://tringasolitaria.tumblr.com/ <-Personal blog for everything else (linguistics, art, birding, biology, hunting, taxidermy, falconry, East Asia)
I'll still be on dA and FP from time to time but the way my life is right now, I only have time to check one website a day (I don't even have a Facebook anymore haha). Right now I have about 7,000 deviations to go
Linguistics Puns are Best Puns
Why did the Finnish words go to Narcotics Anonymous?
Because they were morpheme addicts.
Why don't health freaks speak Latin?
Because it's synthetic.
Why did the linguist wash her son's mouth out with soap?
Because he said, "It's raining outside!"
Yes, I made them myself and they are beautiful.
Do you like dogs?
So do I! Hence, I started a new blog on Tumblr dedicated to posting dog-related content. You can follow it here: Simply Canine I'm always looking for new blogs with canine content, so if your Tumblr happens to be one of those, I'd gladly follow back. :D
And yes, The Adventures of Dante the Iggy is still up and running, and hopefully I'll soon start posting on my new Iggy, Luna, at least once she's born. xD
Yay. owo
