UPDATE:
Hello all! <3
So sorry for my delay with everything, been so busy IRL. ;__; But the deadline HAS been extended to May 25th, 2012, for the few left that still want to enter. <333
If I have forgotten your entry below, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I've been very scatterbrained. B(
Thanks everyone.




Hellooo everyone!
I decided I want to make a contest for something a little different -- Makeover Crystal!

Pretty much, you have as much artistic liberty as you wish, so long as you follow the rules (below). There will be two winners, with the prizes listed below! The winners designs may be used or bits and pieces of them may be. <3 Depends how much I'm in love with it!




Rules:
1. Please do not change her basic design - yellow fur, squirrel, purple eyes, muzzle/tummy colour and she needs to have her charge bands on her ears. You're more than welcome to give her a new outfit with charge bits (like the bulbs on her boots).
Any entry that changes the above rule will not be accepted..

2. You can change her hair style if you like! Longer, shorter, styled differently.. be creative and do what you think would look best on her!

3. You're absolutely welcome and encouraged to change up her outfit -- I'm very open to all styles -- punky, girly, sceney -- But see the 'hints to win' section below for some tips with outfits.

4. You're more than welcome to collab on this contest so long as you are alright with splitting the winnings!

5. You're welcome to include any other characters in your drawing -- mine, yours..

6. This contest is based on creativity -- You can make your picture funny, but it won't do much towards winning unless she's designed very creatively as well!

Your entry MUST be in colour or it will not be accepted. Even if it's just a flat colour with no shading -- I want to know what colour scheme you're going for!





Hints to Win:
- Outfit wise -- I don't like clothes that are too normal. Jeans and a t-shirt more than likely won't get too far in the contest .. keep in mind I like unique and different outfits!

- That being said, I don't like things tooo cluttered, so try to keep it original, unique and somewhat simple. ;]

- I like her hair to look playful, thus why I made it short. If you'd like to change her hair, a good tip to win would be to make it something playful and cute.

- Colours that match nicely will win my heart. Neon and bright colours on her aren't recommended.

- Keeping her charge bands somewhere in her outfit will give you extra points towards winning! (but the ones on her ears must remain there! And I'd prefer if you kept her necklace band, but if you have another idea for that -- go for it!)






Keep in mind:
This contest is mainly for fun and creativity, but if I really like your design or parts of it, I may incorporate them into her design, so if you don't want me using your idea, this may not be the contest for you. Chances are it will just be for fun though <3 I want to see what you guys can do with her!
