July 10th, 2009: Maximum of character entries changed.
July 8th, 2009: Prizes edited


I've told myself a while ago, "if I ever hit 5,000 pageviews, I gotta do something special". I also told myself, "It would be cool to see other characters people make appear in my comic.." So, I'm sticking both of those together to announce my contest! A Children of Chaos Character Contest! Wheee!! You design a character and if you win first place, your character will be a main in Children of Chaos! I will briefly say the rules in this journal. Though, I highly encourage reading the full explanation found here: [link] Since I'm leaving some stuff out.

Rules:

The character must not be apart of a fanficition already.

No repeat of animals already used in Sonic or CoC ( I have a list of animals that cannot be used in the journal, [link] . Please look since some of the characters have yet to enter the story)

Animals only. Meaning no humans, hybrids, mythical creatures, etc..

No nudity or offensive art. Any submitted will be refused on the spot.

No recolor, screenshots or sprites.

Please draw in Sonic Style. Not anthro or an actual animal


Creating your Character:
I'd really love it if your drawing was colored ^^ If not, state what color it is.

You're character needs a personality. If you have a hard time thinking of one, try answering these questions..

What is your character's name?
How old is your character? ( Or, do what I do and just compare the age to an actual Sonic character, example: Nikki is the same age as Sonic )
What is your character's birthday?
Favorite food or snack?
Who would you character get along with the best? Why? ( Either CoC or Original Sonic Character )
Who would you character get along with the least? Why? ( Either CoC or Original Sonic Character )
What is their hobby?
Where is their favorite place to relax?
And any last comments~..

I'd like it if you added more about your character then just answering the questions. :3

Submitting:

Everyone can submit up to two three entries.

When ready, upload your entry to your devianttART account and send me a link in my journal or a note. When I get the link, I'll tell you what I think. If I accept your enrty I'll say so then favorite it.

If anyone wants to enter or knows someone who wants to enter, but does not have a deviantART account then feel free to email your entry to me at: EmeraldWaterLilly@yahoo.com

In the artist description, please include your characters name, personality and all it's extra info there as well as my deviantART icon ( : iconEmeraldWaterLilly : ) as well as stating that this is an entry for my contest and provided a link to my contest journal.

Prizes:
First place: The winning entry will be a main in CoC, artwork of the winning entry with the rest of the CoC cast, art of the winning entry with CoC character, the winner picking which character, and a special surprise.

Third place: Will have the character be a minor character and will receive artwork of the winning entry with the rest of the CoC cast.

Everyone who enters will receive art of their character, as well as their character being an extra in CoC ^_^

Wildcard: I shall have a wildcard segment for some of the entries that didn't make win. What's the wildcard? Well, it's no fun if I just tell you now is it X3

Additional:

This contest will run until July 31st at 11:59pm (pacfic time). Judging will begin August 1st and will run till August 15th. Winners will be announced August 16th

This contest IS open to others outside America.

I'd totally love it if you could spread the word of my contest and Children of Chaos. It will put a giant smile on my face ^_^


I reserve the right to modify the rules at anytime providing that I keep notifing as I do so. I also reserve the right to refuse any entry if crud or slanderish material is included.

If there is something missing in an entry, I will not accept it. However, I will say what needs to be changed or added for me to be able to accept it. Doing this your entry will be in the contest and will be judged normally.

If your entry has a personality similuar to a character that already exist, but may have not entered, I will actually ask you to do a "roleplay" with me, where you respond as your character. Just to give me a better understanding and to see if there's any difference in the two.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. Either post a comment, send a note, an email (EmeraldWaterLilly@yahoo.com)
Have fun and I look forward to your entries~! ^_^
