As the title says this will be a design contest

When I started to draw the ref of Bessy and her family a curious question jumped into my mind: what would be the appearance of Cremisi and Silkae's father? Since I never decided the end of this story (I dunno yet if their father abandoned Bessy of his own accord or because he's a bad guy XD) I realized that this could be an interesting topic for a contest

For more info read their sheets, please!

You have to find a good design for Cremisi and Silkae's father

I thought of a howavart mix, but this is not a must!

The most important thing is this: the father must be a mutt!

What I love:

mixes between less know breeds in the real world and in dA (ex. the Prazsky krysarik)

A big help can be found here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_…

not really intricate designs

designs not very similar to those of the children. I really like similarities with the designs of the grand-parents and other close relatives ( ex. Bessy has inherited the white spot on the back of the neck from her grand-father; Silkae has inherited the spot on her forehead from her grand-mother)

Original designs. Be creative!

you have to make a fullbody. if you want you can add headshots and other fullbodies;

If you use a lineart made for this contest you'll have more chances to win;

you CAN use a pre-made lineart and modify it or simply write if there is something different (ex. the lineart have both ears straight. you can write that one of them is floppy);

you can add few accessories

you can make as many entries as you wish

one of the most important thing is to look carefully to Garros, Soft, Tiche and especially to Bessy, Silkae and Cremis's designs

When they will grow up Silkae's size is like that of the collie, instead Cremisi's size is a little bigger than that of the collie. Her fur will be of medium lenght, Cremisi's fur will be shorter and feathering.

primarily originality and creativity;

how much the design is well characterized;

if you respected the tips. Again, you don't have to respect all them, but if you decide to respect them you'll have more chances to win

the effort you put in your entry

There will be a first prize for sure and an indefinite number of other winners. It all depends on how many designs I'll like

I may add more prizes later

First prize

Every other winner will receive:

- 50 points

- 1 or 2 designs from me

- a feature in my journal

- a llama badge (if I haven't already given it to you)

It's September 25, 2013.
