It's time for another contest, though this one will have a shorter deadline(but don't worry about it)



It's time for another contest, though this one will have a shorter deadline (but don't worry about it) I think everyone here will really enjoy this one, because now YOU design the character. Let me explain.
If you even look at anything I submit, you'll have noticed the weird llama creatures that pop up so often. These are not llamas. Or bunnies. They are Koza, their word for "People". For this contest you will design a Koza character (following the guidelines in the ref linked in this journal) and place them in some sort of matching enviroment. (I don't want a stiff standing figure in a sea of white)
So far, the rules are as follows, please read:
1. You may have mutliple submissions, as well as multiple character designs (just don't go crazy)
2. You must follow the guidelines in the reference. I don't want to seem really narrow-minded, but as any animal does they do have specific traits and these need to be stuck with
3. The talent of the artist is not a factor in this contest, the design is
4. You may make the character design and draw them as often as you like after the contest (SHOW MEEEE) regardless if you win or lose, but PLEASE do NOT use them for any of your own purposes besides drawing. I don't want them used in RPs or stories or whatever. Plus, you don't know enough about them.
5. The drawing and design must be yours alone. It's okay to ask a friend or even me for a bit of help, but it must be your work.
6. By adding enviroment, I mean I would prefer if they weren't just standing still, and possible you could have it interacting or add a background. If you want to add a background, you don't have to color it unless you want to. Shading is not reqiured.
7. It's not required to do this, but I would love if in the description of your submission if you included some sort of little bio. You do NOT have to do this, but I'd love to read them, and if it's interesting it might boost your chances of winning a little.
8. More rules may be added if I need to

Prizes
This particular contest is not about the prizes, but about having fun. However, for the 1st place winner I will make a finished drawing of your character design (of another if you prefer....) 2nd place will get a colored sketch, without a background, and 3rd place gets a sketch. I'll have honorable mentions too. :iconzelladora: and I will be the judges (and Nini too if she's up to it)

Deadline
The contest will end in September or October, but I do not plan to extend it once I've decided on a set day.


Anyway, I hope plenty of people enter,a and just have fun!

*Note: In the first link is the design of Scierra. All of her piercings and dreadlocks are EXTREMELY uncommon and are looked down upon. Please, unless your heart is absolutely set on it, do not make any designs similar to hers.
Also, I don't want to have a whole bunch of albinos, so if you see one already up here, try to avoid making another one...or try something else. Make it light gray maybe. Thanks

    No matter how many brownie points you receive, they will never result in an actual brownie.
