So, if you want to raise your chances of winning, be sure to encourage your friends to participate!
Theme
Aquatic Creatures drawn in two sets of category:
hero
villainThis a drawing / painting contest, so no writngs or photography or photomanipulations.
The contestant may choose to draw for just one category if he/she wishes to!
I'm currently constructing a story/comic/manga involving my pirate OCs
fav.me/d5jahcl and, of course, sea creatures. Basically, I need eight sea creatures/tribe leaders to become part of my story/comic/manga. Their design must be original and extremely unique (please please please!) As of the moment, my mind is blank as to how to design such OCs. I need the community's help for this so I decided to make it a contest to also celebrate my 1 year in dA!
You are free to decide and design for your own. Be creative! Keep in mind that not all beautiful creatures are heroes and not all ugly ones are villains. Your imagination is your limitation!
BONUS!! By just submitting a
valid entry, a contestant will automatically get 5
at the end of the contest! If he/she submits
2 valid entries, 10
will be given!

Frequently Asked Questions
Both heroes? No.
Both villains? No.
One hero, one villain? Yes.
How can you know it's a hero or a villain? Say clearly in description.
Together in one drawing? No.
One character per entry? Yes.. So that they can be judged individually.
"2 entries" mean? Instead of just one deviation, you will submit TWO deviations.If I submit a hero and a villain, that would count a "2" to the total, riight? Yes.
Are we required to submit two entries? No. It is only optional.
You may submit only one entry if you want to, BUT you have to choose the category:
hero OR villain. Rule # 15 applies only when you want
to submit to both category.
Background image? Not required, but you can paint if you want to.
Personality or history in description?Not required, but you can write if you want to.
Minions? You decide.
Can the characters be related like relatives or friends or mortal enemies? You decide. Again, character history is not required.
Can they have feet or paws instead of tail or tentacles? Yes, but they must also have other body parts showing
that they belong to the water and they are not ordinary land dwellers.
Can they have animal ears like, for example, an usagimimi with a fishtail or like a werewolf with fins and scales?What!? I've never heard or seen anything like that before! How can you see a werewolf's scales if he has fur all over his body? LOL! LOL! LOL!
Well i guess it's okay, as long as they have other body parts showing
that they belong to the water and they are not ordinary land dwellers.
With weapon BUT without armor? No. "Rule #12: Weapon
and armor REQUIRED."
With armor BUT without weapon? No. "Rule #12: Weapon
and armor REQUIRED."
Without armor and weapon? No. "Rule #12: Weapon

Should the character have some kind of an action? You decide. The character can be doing something or simply posing.

It can even be a simple character sheet if you like!
Can we submit a collaboration? No, because this is an individual's contest.
Do i have to be a member of hellion-delta to submit my entry?No. You do not have to be a member to submit your entry.
