CONTEST: DESIGN A MATE & ENTRIES

Fri Jun 5, 2009, 7:05 PM
  • Mood: Love
Okie dokie folks. I'm going to hold a contest. It will be a "Design a Mate" contest.

Contest Details:

You will kindly be designing a mate for my new unicorn character: [link]

Here are the guidelines for your design:

Gender: A Mare

Breed: Plains Unicorn (Fresian build with heavier feathering on the legs), tasseled ears, long eyelashes and usually an uprite mane, (although sometimes they may be born with the typical equine mane that lays flat against the neck), tasseled lion's tail

Markings: The plains unicorns body colour can range through any shade of gold, chesnut or brown. White markings are allowed, as they are common among the breed, and the breed is typically known for their distinctive black striping and spotting patterns. I give you free range on interpretation on the markings, but most patterns are usually found in nature...(i.e you wouldn't find excessive swirlings or tribal patterns, ect.)

Hands: 15-17h depending on gender, mares being the smaller of the two

Weight: 1050lbs-1250lbs

Please include the mare's name as well. You may include the male in your drawing if you wish, but it is not necessary. No background is required.

You may enter as many times as you wish. Please note me with your entry, simple entitled CONTEST ENTRY.

DUE DATE: August 31, 2009

Prizes:

1st Place: A 9x12 full colour drawing with fully detailed background of your hearts desire, matted and framed.

2nd Place: A 9x12 full colour drawing with simple background of your hearts desire.

3rd Place: A 9x12 full colour drawing without background of your hearts desire.

Please have fun and enjoy yourself and note me if you have any further questions. Good luck and brightest blessings!!

P.S - I've had some questions regarding added extras..like jewelry adornment, wings, multiple horns and such...and I'm pretty easy, but if you go out of the guidelines, such as giving the mare wings, please explain how she ended up that way, since the breed does not have wings. (For example, is she the offspring of a Plains Unicorn and a Pegasus?..and that's how she ended up with wings?)...just have fun and enjoy yourselves!!

matted frame--does this mean you'd send the prize to us? sorry got confused, and awww man the markings are limited...so you prefer brown/golds/chestnut of a color? I was already planning to use those colors too but yeah, does the media matter at all? whether its digital or traditional?

Yes, I would be mailing the prize to you, so you would have to be okay with giving me an address. And unfortunately, the colours are going to be limited to any shade of brown, gold or reddish/chesnut due to the fact that these are the characteristics that are typical of the breed. The media doesn't make a difference to me. I know that a lot of people tend to really enjoy markings and colours that you wouldn't find in nature, but for this particular breed, that's not the case. All colours and markings would be colours and patterns that you would find naturally.

This sounds like an interesting challenge ^^ Is it restricted to natural horse markings, or ones on other animals? (Ie. big cat/other animal markings etc)

Markings found on big cats is perfectly acceptable, cause if you look at the male, he has "tiger striping". Any markings found in nature are acceptable..just stay away from "fantasy" markings...swirls, tribal patterns, "my little pony" markings..you know, that kinda stuff..lol.

Any adornments such as jewelry is fine...wings and horns are alright, except you'd have to give a reason as to why the mare ended up that way because wings and horns are not typical of the breed...(i.e~perhaps she was a halfbreed?)..I'm pretty easy, just explain what you're entry if it falls out of the guidelines.
