Character Design Contest!
8 years ago
So I've got a nice little collection of computer program characters, and a handful of friends who have some too. That's great and all, but you know what we need more of? HACKERS!
Hence this contest! It is very simple. Design an awesome hacker character with 1337 skills and enter it for the chance to win a prize! Rules are as follows:
-Must be an original character created for this contest, not an existing one, even if it's redesigned
-Cannot be a fan character - no Sonic-style hedgehogs or Shadowrunners or Mass Effect species or anything like that
-Must exist in "meatspace" - i.e., not looking for AI programs or malware characters
-Other than that, character can be any species you want, or even a robot if you feel like it
-Since I'd be inherently biased against females, being a total gay, I figure it's more fair if I require the entered characters to be male
-Character must be submitted as an illustration (no written descriptions)
-You don't have to draw the picture yourself as long as you designed the character
-If you have another artist draw the character, they must be made aware of the fact it's an entry in this contest
-A brief written bio with info on the character is appreciated but not required
-Artwork entered can be clean or NSFW
-Links to your entry must be posted in the comments of this journal
As for the prize, I can't offer anything extravagant - so the winner will receive either a short story or two-character, flat-colored drawing of their winning character interacting with a character of my choice. Yes this means you could get them pwning Thorn if you wanted to. Which type of prize is given will depend on what the winner wants but also the complexity of the design - if I don't feel confident in drawing your character myself I may ask that you accept a story or, alternatively, I might commission another artist to draw the prize picture.
The deadline for entries is midnight EST, May 6, 2017 - that's the very first minute of Saturday, May 6, so be sure to submit by the fifth!
Any questions can be asked below in comments or through note.
