Hello, Niall here. My owner and best friend, Serval, is looking for art of her characters, Silas and Saucy. The reason as to why she wouldn't rather have art of me is a mystery; after all, I'm the real one, not them! Oh well, I'm just here to tell you about her contest. So first of all, who are Silas and Saucy? Well, they are Serval's make believe characters! I'll admit, they are pretty cool; maybe that's why she wants artwork of them. Anyways, moving onto the rules. 

First of all, no art thievery! My owner hates art thieves. Artists work very hard at what they do, and don't deserve to have their work stolen.
Secondly, no bashing other peoples work, behind their back or to their face. It's just rude.
Thirdly, no saying things like, "You should just end the contest now, it's obvious that I'm going to win." It's just annoying, and just makes my owner not want to pick you.
Fourth, don't push for an earlier end date. My owner will end the contest when she feels like she has enough entries.
 
I think that's all for rules. More will be added later if need be.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Now for prizes!
First prize will be 20mil and an achromatic Narwi! (worth totals to 50mil)
Second prize will be an albino Easero! (worth 35mil)
Third place will be a blonde Easero! (worth 15mil)
And lastly, 3 runner-ups will get 1mil each.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Do those prizes please you? I hope so. Now I'll show you the examples and personalities for Silas and Saucy!

Silas is an adventurous, curious, and very friendly Serval. He is fit and loves taking part in physical activities, but it has to be something sporty and fun! He's a very fast runner as well. Silas wears a red bandana around his neck (remember that it is always tied in the front!) and he also has feathery wings.
Silas has a bit longer of a body than in the reference, so keep that in mind! Also, look up a serval on Google if you need a better reference for his anatomy.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Saucy is a giddy, innocent, fun-loving parakeet. She is best friends with Silas and spends all her time with him. She likes to ride on his head sometimes! She is always optimistic and loves to act silly. Unfortunately, I have no drawings of her to show you, but I can show you a real parakeet that is closest to Saucy's appearance!
This is Saucy's color scheme: http://goo.gl/RhuCm
_______________________________________________________________________________ 
Oh! I have a few more things to say. Please read everything!

First, YOU MUST DRAW SILAS AND SAUCY TOGETHER IN ONE PICTURE, not one or the other.
Second, Waniver prefers digital, but you may enter traditional if you want.
Third, your art must be colored!
Fourth, you can enter as many times as you want! :D But Wani likes quality better than quantity!

Thank you for reading and hopefully you have some artwork you can contribute to this contest!

END DATE: July 31st, about a month and a half from now. The date may be extended or shortened later on.

Bump... I think this contest attempt was a fail. I should just stick to commissioning people. xD

Don't worry about entries yet, just be patient. After all, it's only been a day. I'm entering. It might take a while to draw, though.

I think I'll be entering. I'm just not sure about you being able to use our art for FREE when we join this contest (your 4th Rule).

Isn't that how contests usually work though? :/ You take a risk when you enter. Either winning one of the big prizes or nothing. That's why the first prize is so big. There's also a high chance that you will win one of the runner ups.  And by use, all I mean is that I'll display it on a pet page along with all the other art of Silas and Saucy, that's all. But if the fourth rule displeases you, I don't want conflict. I'll take it down in a second.Thanks for letting me know that you were concerned about it. :)

Could I possibly use my Art commission to you in this contest? If not, I'll try to get something else put together.

Waniver is right, Frank. This is how every contest I've entered has worked, and I think it's just the default. After all, most contests' subjects are a user's character; and what's an artist going to do with an entry that they literally can't use anywhere else? It's nice to have the contest host appreciate and use the art even if you don't win. Otherwise that effort kind of goes to waste c:

Still, if that's an issue, maybe ask each user who enters specifically? ^^

I personally intend to enter and you have full permission to use mine whether it wins or not. uwu

lol waniver. I'm not asking you to take down your 4th rule. I just want to express my own personal concern for this so nothing too big to worry about. I'll see if I can draw this up, hehehe.

I don't think you would have expressed your concerns if you didn't really want me to take it down. It's no big deal! :) I'll leave it down to avoid doubt in the users that enter.
And awesome ^^ I can't wait to see your entry!

I changed Saucy's cere colour from the picture to beige. Only male budgies (or very young ones) have blue ceres. I apologise if this was intentional.

 




Well now. I should... Probably put something intelligent here. At some point. Eventually.

... Screw it. HYE. ♥

Oh, haha. I guess it's obvious that I don't know much about budgies.
Anyway, that's really cute! :D /whispers/ Silas also has wings, but I'm not sure if you left them out on purpose, which is fine xD ///
Thanks for the entry! I'll add it to the list.

Holy crap no I didn't leave them out on purpose. I just have the attention span of a gerbil. I'll go add them in and resubmit.
