Eyheey! It's time for my very first contest - and it's a very special one, a very special! 

Pick a race, design your own character and win!

-PRIZES OVER 4000 POINTS!-DEADLINE - EXTENDED!- NOV 30. 23:59 CEST
if the threathening deadline kept you from joining, now there's a month extra to work!


So. Let's see what is this thing about:

My watchers probably know that my friends and I work on a homebrew paper and pencil roleplay (Domhan) based on Dungeons and Dragons - and so we designed various races, species, monsters, deities, countries, kingdoms and dimensions of reality.
I hit 200 watchers in February and I wanted to make a contest ever since, but only recently figured out the perfect theme: Domhan! The project we have been working for years and incredibly close to my heart. 

The Contest is fairly simple: Pick a race, design a character (or two, three, and so on) and ... well, that's it! You can draw simply a character, two characters interacting, battle scene, whatever. I won't limit your creativity. It doesn't have to bee full body either. You can draw head, bust, whatever you feel comfortable with.  Also, these races are open for everyone, you can use them as an inspiration anytime after the contest too, design OCs and so on. So basically you can draw anyone, anyhow doing anything if this /these person(s) are from the races below. This simple

Races of Domhan - THE ULTIMATE REFERENCE SHEET( say thank you for @GreySparkle for the idea) MAGIC The magic of Domhan is more or less elemental magic - we have the following elements: FIRE   WATER   EARTH    AIR    LIGHTNING   DARKNESS    LIGHT     BLOOD/FLESH    ICE   Races in alphabetical order: ARK'SEGUTH Motherland: Seguth Andur Classes: Hunter, Sage Preferred weapon: Spear; Hunting bow; Trident; Agretur (a spear like weapon made out of antlers); fang-whip Magic: ice magic Key characteristics: autonomous; reserved; lives in harmony with nature Average height: a bit over 2 meters So, Ark'Seguths. We met them before, just as background characters in the story of the Faelds and Kad...
(This is the ultimate reference sheet with all the details you probably need - use it wisely)
And use it, please.

Ark'Seguths





Close-to-nature hunters and ice magicians from the tundra of Seguth Andur who refuse any kind of leadership and follow the path of the wild. 
Subclasses: 
- Hunters (Headhunters and scouts)
- Sages ( healers and historians)
Also, the only race I colored. 

Other illustrations:




Faelds



Highly trained, highly intelligent warrior mages, with fancy horns and glowing eyes. The ultimate masters of elaborate magic trick and arrogance.
Subclasses:
- Spellfighters ( soldiers and guardians wielding both deadly weapons and magic)
- Spellmasters (the name says it all)




Kadmets
The savages of the prairies, bloodthirsty nomad barbarians, worshippers and heirs of the thousand Gods. 
Fast, deadly and... even more deadly.  
Subclasses:
- Warriors (your everyday Kadmet cutthroats, wielding two equally sharp swo

rd in their two equally dexterous hands)
- Ritefighters ( the choosen figthers and successors of the gods - probably aiming to become god too)

Kromats




Priests and Inquisitors from the muggy Shandaran jungles are here to spread the word of the great Dragon Deities. They are equally skilled orators and sneaky and agile fighters.
subclasses:
- priest/priestess ( they speak the word of the dragons)
- inquisitors (they spread the word of the dragons - even if you don't want to hear) 
- Shariman warriors ( they fight for the dragons- and also just tries to survive in the jungle)





Laers


Shapeshifter bards and pilots from the flourishing land of Laederran. The nicest guys of all, if not in bear-thing shape. 
 They either steal your girlfriend or eat your girlfriend. (or boyfriend, sure)
Subclasses:
- Bard ( well... we all know bards, right?)
- Stinger ( or, simply wasp pilots. Yep, they travel around on huuuge black wasps)
- Distiller master ( Not the average alchemist since they mainly brew alcohol)
- Alchemist (if they are not in the mood to brew alcohol)


Saltusians


The Saltusian Order of Knights is the police of Domhan. Saltusians are strong, sturdy folks, snipers or smiths, they are the best with steel and they also do repel magic.
- Subclasses:
- Knight ( ehm.. headhunter if you as anyone else ) 
- Bluesmiths ( the mechanical geniuses fo any steampunk dream) 
other illustrations:




I know, most of these are black and white (more like maroon and white, but eh) so here is a color reference sheet:



It's neither compulsory to use or complete/perfect. This chart is barely a guideline to start. 

How to post your art?Since this was a returning question: Simply submit your work as you would usually then tag me in the description (you can also link the contest journal - I'd really appreciate it) or just leave a comment here with a link to your work!

What kind of dragons  do Kromats fight for? I mean like serpent dragon (Shenron) or like sky lizard types(like Bahamut in Final Fantasy)? I want to put a dragon on scene but it might not be the case on your storyline.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

PrivateCoppery In reply to raystorm41 [2019-10-10 12:28:23 +0000 UTC]

Sky lizard types 
here are the dragon deities Kromats praise:
Tiarnaí: The Great Black - the ancient one, the first dragon. The aspect of the ancient-darkness.
Talamh: Dragon of the earth - a big, bronze-brown dragon, the attribute of power and strength
Nádur: The Green dragon: Attribute of the cycle of life, wise and only those could understand his thoughts who could listen with the patience of a tree
Iasair: The red dragon - aspect of fire, anger and the desire to live. He likes chaos and destroying, just because then we can start everything again, just this time better
Uisce: The azure-blue dragon: the aspect of fuel of life, tranquility, and mystery. Very similar to iasair, just his anger is slow and deep like the ocean. Uisce and Iasair are in a constant war but they can never best the other
Gaitoher: The freest dragon of all, aspect of light and air. he symbolizes freedom, autonomy, change and the endless sky.
