I've wanted to hold a design contest for a long time now, and finally I've gathered enough points to do it

Go here to browse entries: taravia.deviantart.com/favouri…

EDIT: I've extended the deadline to 15. September c;

What I'm looking for:
Everything! Wolves, foxes, fennec foxes, ferrets, servals, snow leopards, bobcats, tigers, other big cats, small cats, deers, dragons, gryphons, dogs, birds, hybrids, original species.. bring it!

I'm leaving the details to your imagination, but here are some things I really like:
-White base color with black and red markings<33 (mostly on canines)
-Cute and fluffy things! No need to go all big eyes and oversized heads, but animals with fur. Creepy and slimy things just aren't my thing.. Still don't be afraid to make something dark/evil
-Anything tribal/ runes e.t.c
-Native american stuff

-Feathers!

-Accessories like jewels, bows, companions, swords, knives, scarfs, armors, anything!
-Tawny, golden, brown, white, red, blue, cyan, gray, black (well, not all combined)
-I like more natural base colors, but with smaller markings in unnatural colors like blue or red
-Long tails, big/long ears, long bodies, short bodies, small paws, (be creative with the anatomy. I like pretty much everything, just make something special!)
-I like detailed and semi-detailed designs, but also more simple ones so I can animate them

Keep in mind that it doesn't have to be that complicated (I must be able to draw it), but each character needs something that makes it special! Just a rare pattern or a small marking in the face e.t.c

Here's a list of what I don't want:
-Scene or sparkle-dogs (I allow hair/ hair-tufts, just no scene-stuff)
-Humans or anthro
-Characters with 2 or less different colors (C'mon guys!)
-Horses are ok but no My Little Pony
