I've decided I want to hold a design contest! This will be my first contest, so I'm hoping it goes well! ^^
Basically, I would like a new creature/character I can draw or paint or whatever, just a little guy I can love forever. I already have one, Hoot: [link] and I'd like one more :3 I already love Hoot forever so you can be assured I will look after the winning design! ^-^

Please remember to read my likes/dislikes below for a better chance at winning :3

First off, I will tell you the prizes. There will be 1 winner and 2 runner ups.
Premium memberships are offered, but if the winner does not wish to have a P.M. or already has a 12 month or whatever, I will give the equivalent in points.

If you would like to donate prizes, please tell me! Even if it is just a llama or a fav, let me know!!

For the designs, here is a folder I have created with my current adopts: [link]
I like:

-Natural colours
-Unnatural colours as long as they are soft
-Feathers
-Large spots or stripes
-Unique creatures
-Lanterns
-Masks
-Collars/bracers (wrist ones, not teeth)
-Fresh, new, unique fur patterns
-Leopard/cheetah spots
-Zebra print
-Looooong fur, especially around the head, feet and tail
-ANYTHING space-related, such as constellations, stars, planets, nebula, super-novas, our own sun, the moon, etc.
-PARROT COLORS!!!
-Gryphons, especially those inspired by real birds colours
-Humans are fine, I'd like to try drawing humans soon :3

What I do NOT want:

-Very simple designs
-I don't hate but I'd look for ones that are NOT normal cats/dogs/rabbits etc.
-Neon colours
-Lizards (dragons are ok, but I may not use it much, considering my style wouldn't work too well with dragons ^^' )
-Sparkle dogs
-Show characters, such as My Little Pony or Sonic, though I do like regular ponies or horses so if you mainly do MLP stuff, your welcome to submit an MLP style pony but I will be changing it to just a normal pony/horse :3

---------------------------

Anyone can enter, I won't be judging off the skill of the line art or the actual design, I will be judging off how creative it is and how I could use it, so you do not need to be great at drawing!
I prefer if you have your own line art, only for the fact a lot of other peoples line art is their species. If it is your own line art and your own species then that's awesome, or even if you actually make the line art for this you will get extra attention from me! ONLY because you are creating a unique character for me, NOT because I want the skill or whatever.

Please comment below if you want to enter and I'll add you to the list, then when you are done with your entry I will add it next to your name here ^-^

The contest begins now and ends on Sunday the 24th of December
I don't really want to extend the time so I'll just give a few weeks to do it instead :3
If all entries are in before that and no one else will be joining I'll end the contest earlier
And if you don't enter before Thursday the 20th I'll note you and remind you, in case you have forgotten ^-^

Please spread the word!! We want as many people to enter!!
You can enter as many times as you like!!
