Design Me An OC Contest

♥ Third Prize ♥

♥

Entry by Hakamii

 ♥
I chose this entry for third place because multiple things that I like are combined wonderfully - these include heterochromia, kemonomimi, scarf, sweater, cardigan, et cetera. The color palette was used very well to create a stunning character!

♥ Second Prize ♥

♥

Entry by grimAtrocity

♥
I chose this entry to win second place because the color scheme is very simple and easy on the eyes, and the design ties the colors together so nicely. I absolutely love the intricately designed swords and the long, silvery hair that compliments it all.

♥ Grand Prize ♥

♥

Entry by Sakokii

♥
Ta-daah! This entry won the grand prize because the design quirks chosen all compliment each other so well. I love how there are so many little details to this design, especially the claws on the gloves! I also love how the dull red of the sword matches the dull red of the pendant this gentleman has. Congratulations!

So, those were the lovely winners. I'm definitely going to have fun with them all! However, there were two other designs that caught my eye. They will be receiving honorable mention and 300 or $3 usd each. They may decide whether I keep the character or not (though I would love to, ahaha!)
 

♥ Entries by Kinsara and Bluccis ♥

The first entry comes with a lovely reference sheet and multiple outfits. It really helped me understand the design more! I love the floral accents on this design ( my little weakness ) and it is simple, yet eye-catching.
The second entry also comes with a lovely reference sheet. I fell in love with the galaxy scythe and the pattern on the tribal sweater at first sight. This design's pastel color scheme works very well for him!

Draw My OC Contest

Category 1
Now, before I go listing the winners here I'd like to let you know that funCatty and I had our breath taken away about a million times during this contest by all of the incredible artwork. We had a very long, serious conversation about which entries should win and why. Just know that we loved every one and that we have so much appreciation for the effort that you all put into your entries! Thank you all so much! We truly do appreciate it!

Entry by purenai

"Chosen as 2nd place because of its amazing accuracy and creativity! Surely the characters are missing their shoes, but did an amazing job with the drawing! It captures the adventurous spirit of the two friends and the power of it (how it generates a beautiful lightshow before them) Incredible little storyline and captures their true spirits as best friends"
- funCatty
"This breathtaking entry received second place because of the beautiful tone it creates, the accuracy of our designs, and our touch of playful curiosity. We love adventure and the outdoors, and this is a beautiful take on it. Our friendship is easily visible in this piece, and I'm very glad you considered drawing them. Congratulations!"

Entry by Medaglione

♥
"Chosen as 1st place because of incredible accuracy! Although the order the characters are in are backwards and Catty's ears are brown rather than black, the background and their expressions are the best! This shows their friendship strongly and makes me proud to say it made it through~"
- funCatty
"I love how accurate this entry is! This won first place because there is so much attention to detail, even in the bows and paws! (I love the paws so much!) The only error I see is funCatty's ear color. We look so happy together! ♥ I love the frame you added around the drawing as well, as it ties everything together nicely. Thank you for taking the time to draw this incredible piece!"

We also chose some lovely honorable mentions! Each person with an honorable mention will receive 200 or $2 usd each!

Entry by Bluccis

♥
"Made it into the honorable mentions! Beautiful piece! A lot of the drawing had amazing accuracy! The only problems it has was Doggy's incorrect collar, missing shoes, Catty's ears being brown instead of black, and Catty's shoulder strap not properly attatched. AMAZING job and I LOVED the background!"
- funCatty
"This piece is very stunning, especially with the diffused color that the shirts and pants have. However, Catty's ear color is off, Doggy's paw pads are the wrong color, and the ear and tail color are mismatched. All of the other coloring details are correct. The anatomy and color is captivating, and you did a great job on this!"

"EXTREMELY cute! I can tell a LOT of work was put into this! Although there are a few miscolored parts of our character, a majority of the colors are VERY accurate!"
- funCatty
"Thanks for taking the time to animate this! The way you colored our hair and eyes is so beautiful. Such cute poses as well! Unfortunately, Catty's ears are the wrong color and the colors of the bows on our pants are switched."
- crazyDoggy

Entry by ColossalBertholdt

"This piece absolutely captured my heart. The piece was nearly perfect with very minor miscolors. Still one of my favorite pieces. The background calmed me and made me feel chill..like when I'm with mah fryend e[] e You made it to honorable mentions!"
- funCatty
"This piece received honorable mention because of good accuracy aside from a few errors, like the bows. The style is very nice, and I love how the colors of the background compliment our clothing colors!"
- crazyDoggy

That concludes the honorable mentions!! ♥

Entry by ArtistXXY

"Oh my god I don't know what to say. You caught their personalities VERY VERY well. Their expressions are PERFECT (the face that Catteh has on the first panel made me blush..what a cutie<3 ) The situation that they are in are too accurate! I love the story and I love how it all plays out. I'm EXTREMELY proud to say this won the 2nd category!"
- funCatty
"I love how sweet this piece is, especially because it conveys our friendship so nicely! Catteh and Doggeh's expressions are so cute and accurate, and this is just like how Catty and I respond to each other in reality. Thank you so much for this and congratulations! ♥"

Here is the honorable mention!

Entry by 42Ly

"Winner of the Catteh/Doggeh honorable mention! Super cute idea with cute expressions on both characters! The paws on Catteh and the way Doggeh's floppy ear flops over Catteh's hair makes me want to squish both of them~<3 They have very little mistakes like Doggeh's collar and hair but is overall correct!"
- funCatty
"Catteh and Doggeh look so adorable here! I love the poses and bright colors, but our hair is slightly off on both. You did very well on the animal parts and paws, though. Congratulations!"
- crazyDoggy
