Alright, so I am going to start a contest. I have been writing a story with the same characters, and I realized that I don't have any pictures of them. I'm a dreadful drawer so I thought that the DeviantART community could help me! I have a short paragraph for each person. I have two females and two males. You can draw any combination of the four. You can draw one person, two people, or all four. Also, as a new added bonus, if you say it is ok, when I publish my story, I may show the cover illustrators your pictures so they know what to go off of. So your ideas could be published! Credit given in my book, of course.

Also, you may have already scrolled down to look at my characters, and you may have noticed that there are 5 characters. Cinaed is ~Turpitudity's character. She has offered to help with the contest and she is going to be one of the judges so I added her character into the bunch. (Of course, her character isn't in my story so if you have a problem with having work published you could always draw her character)

~ You can send in multiple entries. One for each character if you really want.
~ To send your entry, just send me a note with the name "Contest Entry", and on the body, put your link or thumb of the picture.
~ The story is based in the 1950's, so you can either do some research and maybe draw them with a garment from that time [following their clothing style listed in their paragraphs, or you can draw something timeless.
~ Any other questions, just send me a note!!
~ Entries are located here [link]

So without any further ado...THE CHARACTERS!

Female 1 - Maeve
This cheerful lady has almond-shaped violet eyes that are like two drops of wine. Her fine, straight, neck-length hair is the color of dark chocolate, and is worn in an attractive style. She is tall and has a slender build. Her skin is cream-colored. She has small feet. Her wardrobe is elegant, and is completely blue and white.

Female 2 - Evvie
This girl makes you think of a joyous songbird. She has slanted green eyes. Her luxurious, wavy, gray hair is worn in a style that reminds you of a burning fire. She is short and has a plump build. Her skin is light-colored. She has a large nose and delicate ears. Her wardrobe is elaborate.

Female 3 - Cinaed
Skin the tone of objects burnt and hair the color of fire, brilliant eyes that radiate with equal fury as that of fresh magma. That is the template for her appearance; she never keeps the exact same look for longer than a decade. Her most recent aspect stands at 5'9", sheathed in rich sepia skin and accented by eyes of liquid neoned gold spattered with small ruby speckles centered about the pupil. Her ears are surprisingly short for a Nymph, just about the length of your standard Elf, and are easily lost within the long strands of hair that cascade in straight streams from her scalp to her derriere like a waterfall of lava, a thick halo of burgundy, copper, vermilion, and scarlet that glimmers from the sun's reflection of ash within. Her figure, in accordance to natural nymph sexuality, is perfectly curvilinear though it is a just a bit more muscular than your average noblewoman.

She has never taken a liking to clothing and definitely isn't the modest or shy type, and as such has caused more than a few blind moments in those traveling the mountains who just oh-so-happen to look her way. If she feels like interacting within her home, she will usually pother ash clouds or just use her own hair in its glorious convenience to cover wherever it matters. In the case that she wishes to leave her home without causing as much controversy, she'll usually glamour up something scant until she can get a hold of some real clothing...if even.

Male 1 - Teige
This guy makes you think of a randy demon. He has round night-black eyes. His fine, straight, short hair is the color of charcoal, and is worn in a practical style. He is very short and has a graceful build. His skin is tan. He has small ears. His wardrobe is risque, with a lot of violet and green.

Male 2 - Curry
This bubbly guy has hooded blue eyes that are like two lagoons. His silky, curly, neck-length hair is the color of the midnight sky, and is worn in a carefully-crafted, dignified style. He is tall and has a graceful build. His skin is tanned. He has high cheekbones and large hands. His wardrobe is uncomplicated and severe, with a mostly green color scheme.
