By: [Kaimee]

A wood elf, in this image Birch is a few weeks behind her trees from living in the warmth indoors, and so her colouring is still the bright red of the Autumn leaves. As the winter gets colder the colours will leech out of her hair and skin, gradually transforming her to her original colouring; the blue-grey colour of her eyes and birch bark.

Congratulations!

2010-03-21 [Yuriona]: Uh... artist badge maybe instead of squirrelly? :P

2010-03-21 [Yuriona]: Tank yous!

2010-03-24 [Yncke]: There's an inconsistency in the deadline: "Deadline: May 23, 2010" and "The deadline of this competition is 23/04/10"

2010-03-24 [Chel.]: Fixed, thanks!

2010-03-24 [Alexi Ice]: ...>> My bad. Sowwie. Thanks for pointing that out

2010-03-28 [Stephen]: Argh, if I could draw I'd probably enter this. Ah well. Hope to see some awesome entries. ;D

2010-03-28 [NOOOPE]: Say we heavily referenced one of our own photographs to make a BG. Would that really matter since this is all about the character? Would we have to bother posting the pic? I mean, to be fair, if you want your character in a specific place, you have to reference something. Since I took the photo.. would I really have to worry about it so much? 

(Note: this is about a possible future submission, the one I submitted didn't have this issue)

2010-03-28 [Alexi Ice]: Since you took the photo, no. If it was a google image or something similar then I would be bothered by it. Also, it's a background, so no it's no problem. We are really just focusing on the character so make sure the background does not overshadow your character <3 ^^

2010-03-28 [NOOOPE]: Wooo! Alright. Sweet. Thank you very much.

2010-03-28 [Alexi Ice]: Sure thing.

2010-05-03 [The Dizzy Raven]: I have a question. Can original characters be in the form of anthro as well? or must they be entirely human-like? can they be dragon characters with minds of their own?

2010-05-03 [Chel.]: I don't see why not?
As long as it's an OC and not like a random picture of a cat or something.

2010-05-03 [The Dizzy Raven]: awesome! thanks :)

2010-05-03 [Alexi Ice]: Yeah, Artistic A, it's all good.

2010-05-03 [The Dizzy Raven]: thanks ^_^

2010-05-03 [Veltzeh]: Maybe I should design a character who is a sofa. Or a lamppost. :D

2010-05-03 [The Dizzy Raven]: lol ^_^ that would be something new and interesting to see. If you do, I'm curious how it works out :)

2010-05-04 [Chel.]: Uhh..I don't think inanimate objects are "characters"

2010-05-04 [Alexi Ice]: If they are...living-objects it might work. Have you ever seen the movie 'The Little Toaster?' I say it's acceptable.

2010-05-04 [Aeolynn]: I think a sentient park bench would be rather fascinating...
