WARNING!!
Prepare yourself for a hugely, long spat of my crazy jibber-jabber!! 

Oh-low all you wonderful artsy Rescreatians!!(SP?)

I have a wonderful challenge possible challenge for yous!
(Difficulty may fluctuate depending on your talent in the drawing field)

I would love to have some more drawings of my wonderfully, ferocious Zeeb(name is subject to change)

Zeeb is an oddly, strange creature. A 2-in-1 special I should say. What makes this Zeeb so very special you ask? That is simple! Zeeb is so awesome and special because he is not just one creature he is two creatures rolled into one!!

Zeeb is THE one and only Zebodile!
In case you are unsure as to how this species is pronounced just look right underneath this sentence.

Zee-boh-dile
(Hence the name Zeeb LOL)

Also, if you still have not caught on a Zebodile is a Zebra Crocodile hybrid. Now, isn't that just like that most awesome thing ever?
I care not whether you think that Zeeb is as awesome-possum as I do, but please don't let that hinder you from giving him a shot for your drawing practices.

Now, if you still are not convinced that Zeeb is worth your time then please scroll past all my crazy jibber-jabber and at least take a look at the few pictures that people have drawn for me and then think about it.
I mean really think on it and then tell me that Zeeb isn't worth at least a 5 second doodle of sorts.

That is another thing I will accept any type of art that you can muster of Zeeb. Doodles, digital, traditional, in pencil, in paint, in crayon, heck I would even except a poo sculpture as fan art of Zeeb if that is what you are best at.

O.o
Did I scare you away with that last option? Sorry, I am in a little bit of an off-the-wall mood right now. XD
Please, don't let my crazy scare you away. I promise that it is not contagious and that I wont bite...well, not hard anyways. -w- Maybe just a little nibble or nomage but nothing detrimental to your health. That I can swear to.

So, before I actually show you what Zeeb looks like I will tell you a little bit about him.

Zeeb is a beast of few words. Well, no words actually since animals can't speak English. I have heard rumors that Zebodile's are fluent in redneck, seeing as they are swamp dwellers, but that is yet to be determined/proven.

Zeeb is a very quiet, to himself, fierce beast. There are times when he may seem approachable but I wouldn't take those chances, you are likely to lose a limb if you do. Your best bet is to wait until he chooses you as his new "prey" so to speak.
(I put quotes around prey because unless Zeeb has decided that you are worthy of his friendship that is all you are to him.)
If by some miracle you are chosen then make sure you are alert, quick on your toes, and your guard is all the way up an doubled. He enjoys testing his "prey," looking for any sign of fear or weakness.

Stand your ground as he circles you like a vulture. Stare back at him with the same intensity that he uses to delv deep into your soul. Most of all show no fear, no weakness, and let it be known that you are not one to be overpowered. Especially, not by the likes of him. Only then will Zeeb have enough respect for you to offer you his friendship for life.

If you are able to pass this test then the rest is easy-peasy. All you have at this point is the getting-to-know-you part. Sound easy enough right? Now, I know there might be a few of you that are thinking: "How are you supposed to "get-to-know" Zeeb if you stated earlier that he doesn't speak?"

A very good question this is.
I give you a big 'WOOT!' if you actually had this thought run through your mind.
Zeeb is able to speak telepathically to you. However, it isn't like normal telepathy where you can hear his voice speaking in your head. It is more like you just know what it is he is saying to you. I don't know exactly how to explain it. I mean heck! I have yet to figure out how it all works or even hear his voice for myself.

Anyways, all that is left to tell about Zeeb is that he is the best friend you could ever ask for. He will be there for you always, have your back wether you are right or wrong, stand up for you if people are saying nasty things behind your back(If you are lucky he may even chomp a few of those meaners while he's at it. LOL), and even lay his life down on the line to protect you.

Zeeb may not seem all that kind-hearted in the beginning but for the select few, that are aloud to call him friend, has is just a big 'ol mushy teddy bear with a rock hard, ferocious exterior. Just one more thing...wether you are his friend or not make sure you never for any reason do anything cross towards Zeeb.

Zeeb is not one of those types of friends you can just use and abuse, because it doesn't matter who you are or what you mean to Zeeb. If you make a move that causes Zeeb to feel the least bit threatened you wont survive to see your next birthday. He will rain down on you with all the fury of heck(not sure if I am able to use the other work so heck it shall be) itself.

As long as you treat Zeeb right then you will have nothing to worry about for as long as you live. He is a friend for life and he sticks by that. He will be there for you until the day you die and even so after you leave this world.

Okies, well I think I am finally done with all that jibber-jabber. Now onto the fun part, what Zeeb looks like. Here is a quickie list deion for your pleasure and below that shall be the piccys!!

Name: Zeeb
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown at this time
Species: Zebodile
Eyes: Glowy red eyes
Crocky features: The crocodile side of Zeeb shows in his head, front feet, and tail. I have yet to decide on what shade of green I would prefer for these, so you basically have free reign of what shade of green you want to use.
Make him neon green, green green, forest green, darkest green it's almost black, whatever you are feeling at the moment. The choice is yours! Go wild and crazy with it and make him have swirls of every kind of green there is out there.
I DO NOT care! All I ask is that you have fun and be creative whilst drawing.
Head (in depth): As you might/might not be able to tell from the pictures Zeeb's ears aren't the normal croc ears. That is becasue his ears are actually closer to zebra ears than croc. So, make sure to keep that in mind during your creative splurge.
As for the white mark on his throat. The awesome Gorge added this wonderful little extra which I absolutely adore and require for all future drawings. As for Zeeb's teeth yellow or white is good but those are your only two choices.
Front feet and Tail (in-depth): Nothing too complex here just make them very crocky-like. For the claws make them uber sharp and keep them in the range of short - medium in length, maybe you could add one of them liitle dew claw thingies on the back of each foot for fun but it is not required.  Now, just keep in mind that since his legs are that of a zebras Zeeb's crocky ankles will have to be skinnier than actual crock ankles so don't forget. The tail is the one thing that is pretty much self-explanitory with no extras.
Zebra features: The zebra comes out in Zeeb's body, front legs down to the ankle, and his back legs. The zebra part is, in my opinion, the easiest and possibly the funnist part you can draw on Zeeb. I am, once again, giving you free reign of creativity. So, do the plain 'ol regular stripes, or do crazy loopy/sharp/swirly/etc. stripes.
Is there a certain brush stroke that you have been wanting to test out? Well, then do it! Test to your hearts content.
Is there something that you have always wanted to add to a peice of your art but weren't sure how to incorporate it in the pic? Then do it! You don't even have to blend it in and make it look like it belongs. Just throw that shii on there and be done with it.
Have his stripes spell out random words like "pig blossom" for all I care. Whatever is clever!
Zeeb shall be a beast with many different appearences, it all works for me. As, long as I can see that you had fun with him I am happy.
I would like, however, for his back legs to be straighter than in picture 2. Lenth of legs/height matters not to me. Make him a low rider with short stubby legs or make him a skyscraper with long chicken legs, whichever is easier on you. Zeeb's hooves have to stay black, end of story.
Mane and spine thingies(what are they called anyways?): Zeeb has the normal mane that every zebra has. I would prefer that his mane stay short but if you can somehow make a long-haired mane work on him then by all means go right ahead. Just as long as it goes no further than the meeting point of Zeeb's crocky head and zebra body. The same as shown in picture 2.
After about a good few inch gap from where his mane ends you can start the line of spine thingy's that decorate Zeeb's back and tail. As you can see from both pics the number of spineys(this is what I have choosen to call them from now on) is not set in stone.
So, just throw some on there. It doesn't have to be an exact science just keep adding them on there until you can add no more. Preferably, no less than like 7; but don't get discouraged. If you can somehow fit 100 spineys on Zeeb's back I would love to see that end result. So, let's just be safe and say you can draw anywhere from 7 - 100 spinys on Zeeb and I will be happy-go-lucky.
I have just one specific for the spinys. I ask that they be red. As in red, red. Like, hex code #FF0000 red. Not light red, not dark red, not even blood red. Just regular old, plain-jane, boring, regular red.

I think that about covers all the deives. If I have missed a part that you have questions about please let me know and I shall go all out into a crazy jibber-jabber rant about that as well.
Now, onto the pictures!

The first, and original, picture that I have was drawn by an awesome user of another pet site.
Picture 1 drawn by Ocelo

And the only other artwork I have of Zeeb.
Picture 2 drawn by Gorge
(I have linked Gorge's name to their art thread.)

Also, before I forget. If you are choosing to just do a quickie picture of Zeeb then you may opt to draw scales on his crocky parts, only if you want to. If you opt for a more elaborate, in-depth drawing of him I would prefer that you add some kind of scalage to make the croc in him pop out even more. If you cannot draw scales then now worries I am not picky. XD

WHEW! Now, I think that I am all the way done with all the legistical sturrfs. Just to recap, I am not a picky person and I am not looking for anything majorly specific.(except for the few little things that I told you specific details about) My main goal, really, is just to check out all the different art styles and forms that everyone has. And also, for you to have fun and enjoy drawing Zeeb almost anyway you want. That's why gave you all that free reign. So, that way you would WANT to draw him, and draw him to the best of your abilities.
And please don't think that you wont draw well enough for my standards. I have no standards! You could draw Zeeb as a stick figure with a scrible of color over the lines and I would still take your picture and post it with the other drawings that I will be keeping on Dregin's petpage. With that being sad I DO NOT care how horrible or great your art may be I want anything and everything. As long as I can tell that you drew Zeeb then you have exceeded my expectations.
So, enjoy yourselves and see my next post for what I can offer as payment.

Unfortunately, all I can offer at this moment is pets. I am sorry to dissapoint you if you were hoping for millions of tu as payment, I am just way to poor for that. So, I completely understand if you don't want to partake since I am offering no tu at this time.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
I will give you a list of which pets may choose as your payment after I see your finished product. It is safe to say though, that the better your art the better your pet choices.
If you decide to submit a stick figure as your drawing, I will gratefully accept, and upload to Dregin's petpage, but you can guarantee that the list of pets I give you to pick from wont be as awesome as the pets that someone who submits a more detailed, shaded/textured/etc. drawing will get to choose from.
So, before you decide to submit a piece of art think hard on the fact that you may or may not be able to pick from higher priced pets.
I just don't want anyone getting mad and yelling at me because they spent however long on the picture yet don't like the pets they get to choose from. I will base your choices off of my opinion of the quality of your work. So, just remember I told you so already to avoid any hurt feelings later on.

On that topic I am not forcing you to draw me anything you have the option of saying no. So, if you don't feel that what I have to offer is good enough for you then by all means press that little back button at the top of your window and don't look back. It wont hurt my feelings any. Heck if I don't get a single person to reply to this thread I will deal. Only participate if you want to.

The pets you can receive are as follows:

In my showroom
Any pets from the first three categories, in the filter, shall be up for grabs!
Possibly either
Immortuos(RWN) | Natural | Ebilia
OR
Sungura(RWN) | Natural | Kurrabi
But I am not 100% on them 2.

Sos I guess I shall just wait and see if anyone comes then. As I have said many times before any level of artist is welcome to draw for me, just as long as you understand my policy for payment to you.

And last, I cannot strees enough that if my pets are not good enough for you then please do not waste your time drawing for me because I am offering what I have stated and nothing more.

.:one:. ShadowxxMistress [x] (6.15)
.:two:. Vandrer [x] [x]
.:three:. AstridMelody [x] ~waiting for color copy (6.17)

.:Waiting List:.
N/A

Once I get 3 submissions I will then go ahead and make up the list of pets that each person gets to choose their prize from. After each of those three choose which pet(s) they want I will pull said pets onto my profile and await pet trade requets. As soon as I finish puuling the pets out I will post the next three submissions and begin the process all over again.
Please be patient and courteous with myself and the other participants throughout this whole process. I will not be closing this contest anytime soon and I am always buying/hatching new pets everyday so no worries.
I will also be "killing" off some pets so I can give out some unnamed pets as prizes.
And last, please do not become angry with the choice of pets that I make for you. My choice will ultimately depend on the quality, correctness, and life-likeness of your drawing. In other words, the better your drawing, the better pet you can win.

When I decide I've given out enough pets.

Also, some people will get to get more than 1 pet so keep that in mind!!

YAYA X2

I am just glad that somebody showed up and was willing to read through my crazyness. LOL

Entering this.

Is it okay if I toss in a bit of blood/gore in my entry?

You are basically free to do whatever you want to the picture as long as you follow the very little specifics that I have. But befor you enter you have checked out the pets I am offering and are okay with the selection right?

Awww!! It's like a cutsy almost chibi Zeeb!! I lurrv!!

I will post to Dregin's page right away!!

You don't mind about the pose or anything hm? It is indeed completely up to our imagination of how to draw Zeeb? ( despite his original design of course)

Yes I tried to put as much free reign as I could for you guys without having Zeeb not look like Zeeb. So as long as you make sure that the specific things that I asked for are in your picture and done correctly the rest is really up to you. I did this to see just how creative you guys can be. Fir all I care you can make him 7 feet tall with his stripes in the shapes if pinatas monkeys. I really don't care. As long as I can tell that it is Zeeb in the picture you are free to do as you please.
