Sea Otter Guys
I really enjoy making and entering art contests, so I've decided to do a third go-round. It's amazing what talented artists there are on this site; picking winners is always very hard but I really have a ball seeing what people come up with, and trying to make my contests as fun as possible. That being said, here we go with ScottyBlue's Art Contest #3!

(PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING THOROUGHLY!)



The seafaring, ship-loving sea ottermaiden pictured here is Inazza Snowrudder (a minor character of mine, description is here); she is a sailor to the core, and dreams of someday captaining her own ship. Her parents are both captains; as such, she is a sort of "royalty" in the seafaring community and has, as can be expected, had many hopeful suitors in the past. She has just recently picked one, and they are now mates, but I have absolutely no description or name for him, or the other suitors for that matter. And that's where you come in!

Sumbission Requirements
Entries should consist of the following:
 * A picture of a male sea otter.
 * A message with his name, and any other information you might think pertinent.

Rules
There are no strict specifications as to what the character must look like, or what he's doing in his picture; I want to allow as much creative liberty as possible. However, there are a few Do-nots. Also, if you do (for some reason) decide to include a personality or backstory, absolutely NO innuendo allowed, and please, no modern bad-boy characteristics, either. Try and keep it within the simplicity of Jacques' world as much as possible. :-)
 * NO MODERN CLOTHES! They must fit the Redwall Era, specifically the time about a generation before the book Doomwyte..
 * NO MODERN WEAPONS! Same as above.
 * NO EXCESSIVE HAIR! Bangs and top-knots are okay, but no long hair or ponytails.
 * NO DOING ANYTHING UNPLEASANT! No provocative poses, and no gory fights.

Prizes
Everybody will recieve certificates for Free B&W sketch requests, two per each picture they enter. They will also have their pictures displayed in the results gallery here, and in my "Art By Other Users" page.

Grand Prize winner recieves:
 * A special color picture of their character and Inazza together, by me
 * A certificate for two more special color pictures, to their request.
 * A special mention at the end of my story Little Flower'' (when Inazza is introduced).
 * A Bannerbox for their profile

Second Place Winners (There will be three) each receive:
 * A certificate for two special color pictures, to their request.
 * A bannerbox for their profile.

Other Important Information

 * The Grand Prize Winner will be chosen by myself and my sister in collaboration. The decision will rest on several factors: Skill, attractiveness of character artistically, attractiveness of character aesthetically, and (if there is a backstory), interestingness of backstory. There is also some personal preference woven in here so be warned; our ideas on art and aesthetics may not match yours.
 * There is no limit as to entries; contestants can enter multiple "suitors". In fact, I'd encourage this.
 * ANY MEDIUM IS ACCEPTIBLE! I like B&W pictures just as well as color, and traditional just as well as CG.
 * The Deadline is May 5th, 2012. If you absolutely MUST have an extension, I don't mind, but I need to know in advance so I can tell the others who would otherwise be biting their nails waiting. :-)
 * When you upload your pictures, MAKE SURE TO LOOK AROUND FOR THE LISCENCING AREA AND MARK IT "THIS IS MY FAN ART!" If you don't, LordTBT will delete your picture and I won't be able to put it in the Contestants gallery.
 * As always, have fun! I hate it when people get into arguments or disharmony over these things; it is, after all, just for the fun of it.
