Here are some Rules and Guidelines, please make sure to read them before posting!
They will likely answer questions you have, but if you don't find the answer here, feel free to ask.

-You may submit entries into this contest BEFORE JUNE 19TH. This means June 18th is the final day to submit your entry. Please make sure it gets to me and I mark you down on the list of entries further down.
This contest is guaranteed to run and will NOT be cancelled. I reserve the right to extend it for a small amount of time but likely will not do so. I'll update you if something comes up, but expect it will not.

-Absolutely no AI art, bases, or tracing allowed. All art must be original and drawn for this contest.

-No NSFW or anything that breaks TOS, please. Ask first if you'd like to do something SFW but suggestive.
If you want to do a gore piece, Kirudon is the safest bet as I always allow gore of him without needing to ask. Otherwise, please ask first.

-draw whichever character(s) appeal to you! I will NOT be judging based off character pick.
The only exception is please don't draw an observation construct alone (should be drawn with Vivian and/or Stripes if you pick it).

-If you choose to draw on paper rather than digitally, make sure the paper is unlined and you can get a clear scan/photo for best chances.

-You may submit multiple entries, more entries might help your chances for special awards or for one to be picked for a bigger win!

-All persons who submit valid entries (minimum of a clean bust sketch) will win SOMETHING even if they don't place, which can be currency or it can be something like decor, an app, breeding item, food/toy bundles etc, determined by rng. Do keep in mind characters should be recognizable, please do not change design aspects.

-You may post your entry on this thread or, if you prefer, you may DM it to me here or on Discord (if you do DM me, please post on the thread that you have done so, for tracking convenience). My Discord is Kirudon#4396 (update 6/08 - with the new Discord username rollout, my username there is also now kirudon. I think you can reach me either way for now). When you do post your piece(s), please let me know your Toyhouse username (or alternately/if you don't use Toyhouse, whatever your preferred credit link is).

-You may ask me questions about characters/interactions (such as, "would this character do this?" for example) or get design accuracy checked if you ask for it, but I will not be giving critique on the art itself while the contest is going.

-If you post your entry on your own art sites such as DeviantArt, please credit me for character ownership
(ideally use my Toyhouse or DeviantArt account - i'm Kirudon on both)

Now it's time to meet the CHARACTERS!
Click here to go to my main story folder!
(Please don't navigate to any other folders than the linked one to pick the character(s), and also do remember your character choice in this contest will not affect your chances to win! You can still win even if you draw a pet, despite them normally being lowest priority.)

This folder has notes on the top of character species options for the cases when there are more options than the avatar shows, as well as info on which characters can interact with eachother more commonly.
And as I mentioned, if you have questions, feel free to ask!

Please do note that if horror bothers you, you might avoid Death (warning for creepy teeth, eyes in weird places, and on the dragon form an open neck-mouth) or Zeta (warning for multi eyes, insect legs, mouth on the body). ABSOLUTELY avoid the Zeta Event Monster (Zeta/Kiru fusion) if you can't handle horror. I put it at the very bottom, it's a new addition.
Kirudon can also be spooky in whatever way, but that's optional (I'll warn I've drawn him sometimes with tentacles, creepy teeth, extra eyes, etc). He's an eldritch demigod shapeshifter he can do what he wants lol.
Just a heads up!

HIIIIII okay so i've been looking for this kinda stuff so im pretty hyped but i'd love to enter this ^^

Recently i've been going on a good streak with more spooky scary type arts, so i'd love to do a drawing of Death in dragon form!


I will most likely do it on paper as that's where my best art is drawn, but my paper is clean and without lines so that won't be an issue.

Glad to see all the interest, can't wait to see what y'all do!

@Ace/Zero: Yes, traditional artists may enter! ^^ If on physical paper I recommend making sure your paper is not lined and you can get a clear/clean scan or photo of your drawing to give yourself the best chances on placement.
