With LKT done and over with, it's time to return to the project I promised to work on: Encounter. I've kept it's folder nice and complete during this whole time gap, but I've found an issue: my style has changed enough that I am no longer content with what I started with. Since we were only two pages in, this would also be an opportune time to make adjustments to the characters.

I am open to Suggestions.

Alright, no more entries please. We have five contestants and a total of eight entries.
Now the point was to create an OC, and the grading criteria is listed below. Let me quickly comment that a majority of the entries were part animal, so it was slightly more difficult to choose which one was most unique. There was also a gap in the skill levels for the contestants which is why the criteria does not include being epic and experienced.
---------
TASK:
Create an Original Character.
You will be graded on how unique your character is in concept and design.
Please include a quick explanation of your character in the author comments.
You may submit up to three OCs.

Good Luck.

Alrighty, time to sort out the entries.
first off, the requirements, below I have marked which category each entry fell into, (execution, medium, or content). I'm gonna have to do some actual examples of these categories if I do this contest again, i'm not sure that people are really trying.

ENTRIES:
Hachi24
-> [link] - Execution
xstarpoolx
-> [link] - Execution
-> [link] - Execution
jetfire29
-> [link] - Content
-> [link] - Content

PLACES:
1st: Jetfire29 with [link] - 200cp
--> I enjoy how incredibly off the wall and bizzare this is. True insanity at work.
2nd: Hachi24 with [link] - 150cp
--> Not extraordinarily unique in subject or style, but a fair attempt.
3rd: xStarpoolx with [link] - 100cp
--> I would have liked a bit more to the picture, but I understand that lack of paper makes things difficult and I took that into account.

So if you didn't notice, I stopped giving specific prizes for contests. Now I go by CAKE Points, which can be traded in for awesome stuff. I'll keep track of CAKE Points with my sophisticated little table down there. I'm still working the bugs out of the price system, but so far it sits as this:

COMMISSION PRICES:
--> Comic Characature: 5cp per character
--> Sketch/Color Commission: 25cp
--> Digital Commission: 50cp

*as always, character critiques are free (female characters only).

It's Over, 50 Points to akkai and skcuishi for trying, 200 to Jetfire29 for winning entry. Title is "Encounter: Cake of Doom!"
--------------
That's Right, a contest on deviantART WITHOUT ART!!! omfg!
As you all know the correct title of ECD is "EAT the CAKE or DIE:a series of random encounters" It's random encounters because THERE IS NO PLOT!
I currently have a top-secret-not-really-but-fun-to-use-dashy-thingys-project which evolved from ECD (yay darwin.) Unfortunately this top-secret-not-really-but-fun-to-use-dashy-thingys-project (which I shall now start abbreviating to "TSNRBFTUDTP" (which shall now be relabled: "D.U.M.B." for "Don't Understand My Brain")), HAS A PLOT! OMFG!!!!!
So it needs a different title.
You get four pieces of information about D.U.M.B.
1) It Has a plot
2) The characters from ECD have been re-colored...
3) ...and re-named.
4) It is an adventure of the D&D type.

Okay Go! Give me titles! I don't care what they are! Entries are UNLIMITED!!! Winner gets 200 CAKE points to use as they please!!!

READY, STEADY, GO!
