EDITED: Does anyone need a Deadline Extension? Speak now or forever hold your peace!
EDITED: My favorite colors in order. Mind you I don't like any designs to be purely one of these colors with brighter shades, I prefer them to be accented in neutral designs. )
1) Blue ( LOVES IN EVERYTHING BECAUSE BLUE IS AMAZING YES. )
2) Green ( I love in Brown Designs )
3) Orange ( Looks really good with Yellowish Oranges, Red Oranges and White + Blue )
4) Red ( White + Black usually )
6) Purple ( Looks good with a Black + blue, or orange + black design )
7) Yellow ( My least favorite color )
EDITED: Starting the countdown til the last day! The contest will officially end at midnight (12:00am) EST time. ALSO; Prizes will be given out as points, due to some unexpected circumstances. If you are not a premium member and wish to have the points sent to your Earnings so that you may convert the points into money, I will also cover the processing fee. ( 100 points )
EDITED: Okay now I may actually want to get a character with wings...;w; I've been practicing them and I really want my own now ahhh <3 ( Preferably canine/dragon mix ~ ) But don't worry contestants who've already entered! I'm still not that good at wings and I still very much love drawing regular ol' doggies :3 Everyone still has equal chance /)u(\
EDITED: Got some Tutorial(s) to help you with designing!
EDITED: Added more tips! Also; I reworded the " NO limits " rule to " Submit as many designs as you like " because that was confusing I'd imagine haha. Good luck to everyone ~
I'll try to add more tips and I'm going to make a short tutorial on designing. ( Or how I design. ) It should prove to be useful to less experienced designers <3
EDITED: Added more examples!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION + TIPS

- I hate girls please no girls I'm so serious.

- Hybrids are welcome, but I much prefer Canines or original species with canine in the mix.
- I'm picky about wings. I don't have any characters with wings now and I don't know that I ever will.
- I really want a cool character with a combination of blue and green with some natural colors.
- I also really want a super cute but also scary looking design.
- I LOVE BLUE bluelbuelbuelbuelbue<3
- No full out sparkle dogs.
- I don't care for fully natural designs.
- I love designs with spots, not always stripes, but a lot of African/Wild animal natural designs look cool with one/two vibrant colors.
- I don't like a lot of accessories or feathers.
- I hate extra/less limbs or eyes. NOT what I'm looking for in a unique/scary design XD
- You're allowed to ask me questions for guidance on designs! Just make sure it's in the comment section below so that everyone can see and have the same advantage as you.
