The character bios and pictures will be at the bottom of this journal entry! Their kinda long, sorry I might also add a group catagory too...


JUDGING

I will pick the judges *most likely my school friends * you will be judged on creativity, expression, mood, all that good stuff. Mainly, does it support the character’s personality that you’re drawing?
-backgrounds are a bonus- they’re not necessary
-creativity is a must! It’s alright to use jeans and a plain t-shirt for clothes, but coming up with an interesting clothing design will defiantly help *unless that’s their favorite choice of clothing of course *
-I haven’t decided yet, but if you include more characters in the picture, that might help too
-if there is a change of plans and I need different judges or change of date, I will let you all know!

PRIZES!!!

Alright alright alright! I think i have the prizes pretty much figured out!

There will be one winner from each of the 7 category's, and each one will either get:

- 2 requests *with no/little background* their choice of styles and mediums
(exs. )
- 1 picture of the character they either drew for teh contest or they pick a different one
- possibly a print

or

- 1 request *hugely detailed with background if wanted* with choice of style and mediums
(exs. )
- 1 picture of the character they either drew for teh contest or they pick a different one
- possibly a print

Runners up for each category will get one sketch of anything they want, option of medium and maybe background. (ex. )

I might also have a participation prize, in that everyone who entered the contest will get a sketch *no background* of either the character they entered, or maybe any one of the other six they would like, with choice of mediums *still thinking about it * If you had entered multiple entries or a group category entry, you will get sketches for each of those characters you entered/drew. (ex. ) But if i do have a participation prize, there will be no "runner ups", alright?

Does that sound alright to you guys? if u think i should change something, pleeeaaasee let me know! The deadline is comming up!

CHARACTER BIOS

Kyo
"Um...is that...um...uh...Kyooo..."

Name: Kyo
Nick Name(s): Kyo-kun, KyonKyon, KyoKyo, Firefly, and My Little Angel
Age: 17
Birthday: June 9th
Hair Color: Yellow
Eye Color: Green ^___________________^
Ear Color: A fuzzy light yellow
Tail: Same as the hair
Images/Reference: [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link]
Height: 5’6”
Gets along best with: Nicole *me!*!!!
Personality: Kyo is very, VERY shy around other people, and is also embarrassed very easily Once he gets to know you, though, he’s a bubbling pot of joy and happiness that’ll love you till the end of time ^_____^ He has a weak spot behind his ears that he loves to be scratched.

Bio: Kyo-kun was...and still is made fun of by other people because of the way he looks. He would often come home crying and shut himself up in his room, cause he didn’t want me to know about it and worry. *this also made him very sick at a young age cause he was always crying, so he has a pale completion* That’s why when I first drew him, he was always sad looking. Many mistook him for being a baby because of this, and made fun of him more, but infact he’s a very strong person. He doesn’t blame others, but himself, for anything and everything that happens to him or goes wrong. So now, whenever I see someone making fun of him, I beat the living $%!* outa them, cause he deserves better than that He’s gotten a lot stronger though, and smiles much, much more! Isn’t he the cutest? Kyo-kun was the first anthro-type I ever made.

Loves:
- Fav color – Turquoise (Blueish Green)
- Fav food – he’ll eat anything *without complaining * but pecans and pecan tassies are his favorite
- Fav music – anything soft, like country or oldies. Anything loud, like rock or pop for example, hurts his ears
- Choice of clothing – something warm with long sleeves and earthy tones, preferably jeans *no shorts* and tennis shoes
- Ideal meal – anything that’ll keep him warm, like soup or hot chocolate
- Favorite Season(s) – Fall and Winter

Hates:
- Attention- He prefers to be in the background than in the actual picture.
- Anything sour, though he’d never tell you He makes the cutest face!
- Cold places, he loves to be warm ^-^
- He really, really doesn’t like to be alone, but only when he’s sad or trying to hide something-it’s how you can tell if he’s depressed too
- He also doesn’t like fighting, he’d rather bow his head down and stare at the floor and let them walk all over him than fight with anybody

Hobbies: Singing, piano, and being cute

Misc:
- He’s actually fairly smart, he just doesn’t show it because he doesn’t want to stand out
- Kyo-kun has never, NEVER told a lie before. I don’t think he can If he’s trying to hide something, he’ll try to get away from you.
- Kyo actually loves to sing and he’s really good at it too! Such a beautiful voice , but he won’t do it infront of other people *or tries not too*
- He has gotten caught singing by others
- Twitches his ears and tail when he’s really, really happy! He also tends to talk in the third person when he gets nervous
- Kyo-kun has learned how to play the paino!
- Like Toast, he usually wears his angel wings he had at halloween around teh house
- He's actually pretty naive
-------------------

Personality: What can I say? Toast is a flirt he's almost exactly like Sain. He's also the most stylish one of our family, and the "pretty boy" *though all of them kinda are * He will say exactly what's on his mind, whenever, whatever, wherever, no matter what it is. Toast-kun loves everyone in the family, and pretty gets along with everyone *unless you cross him, of course * His personality is almost the exact opposite of Kyo: Loud and Outspoken. He also seems to be the most popular

Bio: When Kyo had had a particular *hardcough* day at school, he came home crying and locked himself in his room. When he looked out the window, Kyo wished on a shooting star that he could be stronger for everyone, and be someone they all liked *though we all liked him enough already right?* Of course, hearing this, *I* made Toast! Toast is everything that Kyo wants to be, so he acts like a strenghener for him, by trying to get him to be more open and outgoing Toast-kun is almost never mad, and is a happy-go-lucky kinda guy. He actually was made fun of just as much as Kyo was, but blew it off and flirted with the first girl he saw It really doesnt bother him at all, cause he's got a loving family at home He's also like an older brother to Puddle Fuzz, as well as Kyo
