Help me design some Awes! Design a Awe or interesting fur pattern and get them into the game. The goal of this is to expand the general fur design of Awes and do so with a little bit of interactivity.
It's not entirely fair to call this a "competition" there might be many winners and there is no real deadline for when this will end. See it more as a chance to help me out and get the chance to add some your own touch to Aweworld. There are Awe crew-mates waiting for their chance to shine in the story.

I will be looking for not only interesting Awe characters but also color patterns. Bi-colored, spotty, striped. These kinds of features will get extra credit. In some cases, perhaps the character itself might not make it in, but their design might get adopted. Perhaps even onto an existing character of Aweworld like one of the officers.

If I like your design idea or concept, I will be introducing them to Aweworld as a possible character. They are likely to get their own portrait like this:

I will consider all entries. If you can sketch out your Awe and their design, then that's most helpful. But I'll accept written descriptions and scribbles too.
You may use these templates below as reference or to color in your ideas.

Again, this will be an ongoing thing. I'll accept entries all the way until I've written the last sentence for the last chapter. Of course, the sooner the better.
Send your entries by note here or to my main account  evoc or by email to aweworldgame@gmail.com .
Let me know if you have questions, ideas or think I'm missing some materials.

Design guides/restrictions:
Patterns:

You may be pretty creative here but Simplicity is king. Keep the patterns 'natural' and in ways you might see in the wild or in for example domestic pets like cats and dogs. No wild spirals and complicated markings. Be careful with too much stripes also. Those are "Wulf" traits.

Color:
Awes have some restrictions in allowed colors. Most of them, the common Awes, have a not too distant common genetic ancestry. I wont quite allow blue or purple furred Awes, though if your character design has some small bits of dye that 'may' be acceptable. If you want to try something outside the norm, try to keep them 'Earthy' in color.

Common Awes (80% of Awes and most likely to make it in)
They all tend to have a yellowish tone of some sort. Brown fur is usually also a prominent feature in a lot of Awes. The tone of these colors however varies a lot from regions. There are Awes who are more ginger and rust colored and there are some who are more blackish brown. Some Awes of course may have mixed more recent heritage with Mountain-Awes or Raveneyes and may have grayish fur and patches of white or black respectively.

Mountain Awes:
Mountain Awes are basically all light colored. White, beige, silver, grey.

Raveneyes:
Dark colored fur. Black, dark grey.


Progress on Chapter 2:

This is slow going. Slower then I had expected. I'm sorry to leave so many of you waiting for this long. I didn't want to release one chapter and then take this long with the second one.
I've underestimated how much work there is to do, and I am just one guy. Some 'events' are harder to write then i thought also.
Most of all I have so very little energy and time left over from my job. I try to write a hour a day though. I have planed to finish chapter 2 by the end of this summer, but its going to be very tight.
Starting next year however, Its looking like might have a loooot of spare time. I've been considering taking a extended time off. I will have nothing to do but work on Aweworld then and will for certain finish the whole project and its expected full 3-4 chapters that year.
