Okay guys!!! sooooo because I'm moving and finals are rolling around the corner, I have less and less time to draw; without my printer I can't seem to post anything new right now! soooo I decided that with all this time to spare, I would hold my first ever contest! :))) yay!!!

*Theme*
I need help with a color scheme for one of my characters I created back in January. You all know Rikki! my sexy, devious raccoon girl!
Here's a pic of her for those of you who haven't seen her! --> http://fav.me/d4lzb6n
The objective is to make a color scheme that fits her personality and/or pattern! *one thing to keep in mind is that her tail pattern changes with her attitude*

*Categories*

Bright Colors: The color pattern is mostly made of bright colors

Dark Colors: The color pattern is mostly made of darker colors

Multi Colors: The color pattern is an array of colors throughout!
[all entries will be placed in a Submissions folder -> link to DA: http://moonlightgaz3r.deviantart.co.....ites/49728752]


*Rules*

1. If you want to join, please comment below first. Then you must link back to this in your journals (submissions or whatever you choose) to allow others the chance to join as well! the more the better! :)
2. You may use the above picture or this one -->http://fav.me/d4nmxho (if you use this one you MAY come up with a matching design for her twin sister Baby) as your lineart or you may redraw her and color her, but I need to be able to see her whole body if you give her multiple patterns (you can make a reference sheet if you desire, it would be easier to use).
3. You may submit more than one entry (limit to 3) but it will not enhance your chances of winning as everybody has an equal chance upon entry;if you submitted a picture to each category, just know that you can only win in ONE category and not all three!
4. If you don't want to join, but would like to donate prizes please comment below or note me and I will add you to the prizes section!
5. I will pick the top three pictures of each category and will create a poll for others to vote on! the picture in each category that gets the most votes will be submitted to the final poll where each picture will be voted on and the winner will be selected!
