!!! DESIGN A STORY CHARACTER CONTEST !!!

Finally, it’s here! To celebrate 400 PLUS followers now, I’m hosting a WOF design challenge/contest! Your mission is to design a character that’s going to appear in TBoFS 2. The character is already decided, and you’ll be given information/prompts to design them. First place winner will have their design be the official design for the character, and anyone who doesn’t win can keep theirs! So keep in mind that if you win, I’ll be the ‘owner’ of your design and the character.

!!! GENERAL INFO !!!

- 1ST PLACE PRIZE: Your design will be the official design in the story! You also get a free dumb doodle from me of any OC (or character) you want.

- 2ND PLACE + 3RD PLACE: You’ll each receive a doodle, as well as being featured as winners when they’re announced! Of course!

- Anyone else who submits a design will get honorable mentions, and your design will be linked when winners are announced.

- Very little artistic bias is involved. Not being able to ‘draw well’ isn’t an issue, as long as you have good ideas and a good imagination!

- DESIGNS ARE DUE BY [ Friday, December 20th ] !!! I’ll have results by December 25th!

- I’ll personally be picking the top 3, then put a poll up that lasts for 1 DAY. This will determine the winners.

- TO SUBMIT YOUR DESIGN: Either tag me in a post or send in my asks inbox! I will be reblogging/posting with the hashtag #TBOFS2DESIGNCHALLENGE (and you can post with the tag too ofc!)

- Please ask questions if you have them!

!!! RULES !!!

- I have faith in people but PLEASE BE NICE! I don’t want fighting for any reason, I don’t want unwanted criticism of people’s designs, etc. I want this to be enjoyable for EVERYONE, even if you don’t win!

- You may only submit ONE DESIGN! If there’s some sort of issue where you need to resubmit, just let me know!

- Another reminder that the first place winner gives me ownership of the design, and I’ll put them up on my Toyhouse folder. Please don’t submit to win if you’re uncomfortable with this!

- I have faith about this too, but just in case: don’t submit inappropriate art. If I find out you draw gross feral art/sexualize dragons I won’t accept your design and you’re blocked.

- Similarly, no design you submit should be offensive or hateful in any way.

!!! DESIGN INFO !!! finally the fun stuff

- The character is a PURE NIGHTWING.

- I prefer to stick to MOSTLY canon color choices, but some deviation from this is welcome! Ask if you aren’t sure, but feel free to look at the character designs in my TBoFS Toyhouse folder. That should give a good idea.

- Adding accessories and even little headcanons for the character are fully welcomed and encouraged (keeping in mind that some headcanons may not end up to be true, lol!)

- Name ideas are welcome, too!

- YOUR GENERAL PROMPT IS: a snobby, intelligent, standoffish Nightwing who does not believe in animus magic as it exists.

- Keeping my prompt pretty vague so you can have fun! The best designs (to me) are ones that’re recognizable. Not necessarily jam packed with accessories and colors and stuff… just recognizable.

- Your designs may be sketched, lined, etc, but my main requirements are that it’s at least a fullbody + colored. You CAN add more visuals to the design if you want (front face view, mouth view, paws, wing view, etc etc). It does NOT have to be digital!

Woo hoo! Have fun and thank you again for your support!

Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

I made an art/anatomy tutorial about birds! I hope people will find it helpful!

I truly hate the way dragons in wof border on wild instincts and human behavior. It's as unsettling as if Napoleon suddenly got on all fours, ran down the street, ate a live seagull, and then wiped his ass with a rock.

I can and will

What is a wof thing that you absolutely disregard constantly? Mine is color restrictions for the tribes. Blue skywings pink icewings red seawings. I don’t care I just like making pretty dragons.

Special video finished wow

Make sure to WATCH until the END for a SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT and HIT THAT BELL to win IPHONE

Gotta support my local WoF AUs

Lil worldbuilding things for wof au headworld to put all my accumulated fantribe ocs in :)

Food for thought here. So Starflight hatched on the brightest night, yeah? Well imagine if his egg was left in moonlight and he hatched with Darkstalker levels of mind reading and future seeing abilities. Being able to dig around dragon's minds and casually look into the future whenever he wanted. It would make for such a cool story. He could serve as an exposition dump or as a way to foreshadow. It would also make the reveal that NightWings don't actually have powers anymore much more impactful as the only one we've seen does have powers. It would be a shock for the NightWings themselves too. Or it could be done with Sunny instead of Starflight. I know this would ruin Moon's whole character and story but my friend and I found this a bit of a missed opportunity. I'm not gonna make this into an AU, but if anyone likes this idea and wants to write about it please do. Or if someone already has, I would love to see that.

Some more maniraptoriform/extinct animal designs I've done. Technically they're for a specific ARPG but none have been written as characters. They sit in purgatory until I'm able to write for one or a few of them.

Anchiornis huxleyi/hadropithecus stenognathus

Balaur bondoc/thylacosmilus atrox

Citipati/yoshi garevskii

Dromeosaurus/smilodon fatalis
