Hellooooooooooooo Everybody!

I've been away for a long while. Not sure how the art market is nowadays, but I'd like to try something if I'm able.

I'd like you to design a character for me.

I don't have any characters right now that I really care about, and I'd very much like for that to change.

It'll work like this:

>You design a character
>Everyone who posts a design will be given $2 mil.
>Once I find a character I love, I will purchase it at whatever price the designer names, up to $300 mill.
>If I don't find a design that I love, then I won't purchase any of them.
>If I don't purchase your design, it is 100% yours to use as you please, sell as an adopt, etc.

The character can be a human, kemonomimi, anthro, feral, canine, vulpid, feline, mermaid, elf, fantasy creature, made up species, male, female --whatever you think I'll like.

I'm fond of blues and browns, but really any colour palette that looks nice could win me over.
I'd prefer hair of some sort.
If anthro/humanoid, I'd love to see some sort of clothes!
I don't mind if you use a base of some sort, so long as you credit the person who made it.

Apart from those things, this is really anything-goes.
I just want to fall in love with something. :)

Can you give us a bit more info about your likes and dislikes in a character?

There's really nothing in particular, Sagi!

I lean more towards things that are soft than things that aren't. I like medium to long hair. I'm not looking for anything scary/gory/creepy. I'm not looking for a super complicated design, either; but I'd like it to be an original one.

But I'm mostly doing this because I have no idea what I want. I want to see if someone can make me fall in love with something and surprise me. I want a character that takes my breath away.
That's why it's really open-ended haha.

If you're just looking for a design, are you alright with black-and-white pencil sketches?


they/them/theirs :)

Murderess -- Absolutely! But if you just post 5 of the same design but slightly altered I won't pay you for each one haha.

Macdp -- I suppose that's fine, but ideally I'd like them to be coloured. However, if you make a design that blows me away I am more than capable of colouring it myself :)

Kirsti -- Hmm, that's a good question. Looking at your gallery, I can tell you that I don't think there's anything in your current batches that I'd use. I suppose if you really wanted to post them, I'd  give you the $2 mil for entering, but I wouldn't buy the characters themselves </3 They are gorgeous, though, and I'd love to see more from you!

or a tle="" target="">character inspiration pinterest or anything?

Kirsti -- Ah, that is a difficult question to answer. I'm not in to super-overly-complicated designs, and I'm not looking for anything crazily colored (i.e. sparkle dogs)
I like things that look elegant but not complicated.

If I could point to any one place to look for what sorts of designs I love, at least in terms of humans/kemonomimis, I would probably say take a look at character art from Fire Emblem 6/7/8/9 or 10. Those character designs are nearly always spot-on for me. That isn't to say I necessarily want  a Fire Emblem OC (ohhh how I do not hahaha) but it might be a place for you to start :)

As far as the animal route could go, I prefer fluffy things to non-fluffy things, and I don't find SUPERCOLORFULINYOURFACE to be attractive.
