Contest Entry: Unnamed Character by Rockerchick676

Honestly, I just wanted to see if anyone would actually vote on that poll. Plus I had a freaking old one from when they gave everyone PM for a day, pffft.

ANYWAY, thanks to that ONE PERSON that voted 30 seconds after I uploaded the poll, the first mini-contest up is designing human forms for these ponies.

I bought these ponies for a reason actually, guys. Srsly, yeah, I have character ideas for them.

Characters to Draw

The first one up is Halley (for "Halley's Comet" omfg), who is Dye's older sister. She feels superior to most anyone, but enjoys manipulating people by acting needy. In actuality, she is very independent and can manage herself just fine. She likes to travel around the world spreading her glory. Personality-wise, she's extreme so long as she looks fabulous. Definitely not girly, but she gives off the feel that she is so guys want to baby her.

Next is, well, she doesn't have a name, but I have a personality for her. She's going to be Sunni's BFF (on her female friend side), and seem like her copy, but in fact be her opposite. Her hair isn't naturally red, she has a blue streak in it, her eyes have colour contacts in, and she worries constantly over her appearance. Everything about her is fake, and she's painfully self-conscious. She likes to seem carefree and confident, as most stereotypical "popular girls" do, but deep down, all she wants is to measure up to the person she thinks is all that naturally so, which, in her case, is Sunni (who IS naturally awesome and "perfect").

Rules?

There aren't many rules (not even really "rules", more like helpful advice), but there are a couple things I'd like to state to keep basics to my preference.

~PLEASE make them completely human. Skin colour white/black/yellow/NATURAL, no horse ears/tail, no HOOVES, not even wings. I didn't mind it on my last pony-convert contest, but this time I really want them completely human.

~That makes you think, huh, what about their fur colour? Well, I think a good idea could be to make their skin colour a clothing preference colour. This isn't REQUIRED, per say, I just thought it was a nice idea.

~That said about their hair, I do like how it's styled right, unnamed chick's long and wavy like Sunni's (I'd like to think she's copying her) and Halley's sorta tough-girly, so if you can, try to keep them like their pony forms? Of course, if you have something that seems PERFECT, go ahead, I may end up liking the new hairstyle anyway~

~It's probably best if they were coloured enough to see what is what colour, doesn't need to be full-out shaded and whatnot.

OKAY, so maybe the first and last one were the only "rules." Whatever. This is gonna be really informal and not totally planned out, 'cause all my work and planning ahead on contests usually ends up with only a few contestants. My last pony contest was my biggest turnout ;A;

On to the prizes!

Prize list is now at the top of the journal

So, I offer writing commissions and customs and I end up getting people that don't even want them or people that don't get them for months-almost-a-year, so I'm just gonna offer points this time. I'd really love it if I could get some small sketch donations, or some points, ANYTHING, really, but I dunno, usually I don't get too many donations. I will absolutely love you if you donate, srsly.

So, the starting prize is going to be 100 points, and if 5 people join, there will be a 50 points second place, and for every, oh, say, 2 more people that join, another 10, maybe 20 points will be added to the 1st place prize (not the second, though, that stays at 50, maybe goes up to 75 if 10-15 people join).

SO, THE MORE PEOPLE THAT JOIN THE MORE POINTS YOU MIGHT GET.

If I get LOADS of entries, then I might even add a 10/20-point honourable mention thing for the 5 runner-ups.

SO YOU GET MORE OF A CHANCE OF GETTING SOME POINTS.

This will be the same prize thing that happens on all my mini-contests, and I'll keep doing them until I run out of points. So PLEASE ENTER, hell, enter more than one contest! SRSLY.
