Character Design Contest
Hey there, welcome to my art contest!

I've been wanting to design an anthro character for myself for a while now, but I can't get the design I'm looking for, so I'm hosting a competition in hopes that someone will be able to come up with a design I love!

What exactly I'm looking for:
- I'm wanting an anthro based off of a cow or an ox or any other similar animal, as cows are my favourite!
- Traditional or digital are fine! I really don't mind, so long as the final piece is neat/rendered.
- I would appreciate a reference sheet of the character or at least a full-body design so that I know exactly what the character looks like
- The design cannot be too complicated as I will be drawing the character or getting it drawn by other artists.
- I'm not concerened about the gender at all! Gender neutral, androgynous, male, female, non-binary all work!
- Any character inspired by a cow (ie; does not need to strictly be a cow and can also be inspired by any other animals).
- Please don't be afraid to ask questions if anything is unclear!

Prizes:
- First Place: 25GB
- At the moment, I'm only looking for one character, but if I end up liking more than one design, I will definitely add more prizes for second and third place and even more if needed.

End date:
- THIS DESIGN CONTEST WILL END ON MAY 15 2022

Rules:
- Please be respectful to one another
- You are allowed to ask any questions/chat freely on this thread
- You can submit more than one art piece
- No NSFW submissions

Disclaimer:
- The winner of this competition has to be okay with me changing the design.
- I reserve the right to choose more than one winner, but all winners will be given a prize. I also reserve the right to choose no winner and to cancel this contest for any reason (though this is unlikely).

Please Take Note:
- I will own the winning design
-I will give credit to the artist if I choose your design- the rest of the submissions can be used for whatever, but the winning design/s will be my character and will be owned by me.
- I will have permission to edit the winning design if I wish, as I please, but still be based on the original winning design.

Things I Like (obviously, you don't have to incorporate any/all of these, they're just some pointers for things I like, but I'm open to anything! Surprise me!):
- Light pink colours/noses/hooves
- Mint green
- Typical cow colours or unnatural colours (I don't mind!)
- Piercings!!!
- Soft designs
- Glasses 0.0
- Generic cow patterns (I prefer simpler designs in terms of markings)
- Cyclops (one-eyed animals)
- Gothic style or cutesy, I love both!
- Horns

Please note, I am NOT necessarily looking for beautiful, HQ art! You don't have to be an amazing artist to enter! I'm just looking for a unique design that I love and the winner/winners will be chosen based purely on the character's design, not the art style itself!

I really hope this inspires some of you to create something; even if it's just to get out of your art block! Thank you for taking an interest! I'm looking forward to seeing all the designs~!
