Description CONTEST IS OVER.


THE WINNERS ARE:

FIRST PLACE
Angus McMoo by ~Hydrart wins with 7 votes!

SECOND PLACE
Nips the Cat by ~Kesterfox gets second with 5 votes.

THIRD PLACE
Lex by ~surlyjoe2 gets third with 3 votes.

We're looking for ideas now with how to animate our winning character(s)!





It's a Character Design Contest!!

Submit your own original character design, the character should be made with animation in mind (eg. no horrendous amount of detail) and relatively simple. Keep it humanoid. anthro is allowed, though i've never been a big fan of it. When we've got a lot of entries in (we'll decide on a deadline) and we'll vote on which one we like the best. The next contest will involve animating this character.

Character Rotation (front, 3/4, side, back) is an ideal way of submitting. Some action shots wouldn't hurt either.

Hydrart's Entry: Angus McMoo
Sebbythefreak's Entry: MARK-SAAI [M-4] (2)

Even so I'm sad that I missed this competition, character design is one of my big things. \:]

TVsKyle [2004-11-18 13:58:15 +0000 UTC]

And what are you looking for, exactly?
One drawing of a character? A whole model sheet? Just a few poses?

vespan In reply to TVsKyle [2004-11-18 15:05:13 +0000 UTC]

ideally it would be a character rotation (front, side, 3/4, back) with a few action poses to get down the character's attitude, but we'll accept basically anything... if you do something crappy of course, it will just not win

You might want to make mention of this in the actual post, or perhaps in a journal entry if you haven't already.
