Hello All!!!

So tomorrow is my 2 year anniversary on Deviant Art!
Also, tuesday is the first day of Autumn!!! Which means we will have fall, halloween, thanksgiving, winter and christmas(or winter holiday)
I am also 1 watcher away from 200 watchers! What a perfect time for a contest!!

As I mentioned a few days ago, there will be multiple categories that one can submit to!

CATEGORY 1 is drawing one of the following critters listed below. The catch? It must be fall, winter themed. For example, draw one in halloween costume or santa outfit.  You may draw more than one together but it's not necessary. 
The characters to choose from are:

                                             Copper                        Lacey
<da:thumb id="482263591"/>
        Camie                        Gadget                        Tinker

        Airibelle                        Precious Metal            Orbit (top right)



That gives both pony and non pony options ^^ If there is another character of mine that you might be interested in then ask me and I will let you know yes or no

There would be 3 winners. 

1st place gets an OC reference sheet and 30$ and sticker of OC 
2nd place gets an OC reference sheet and 25$ and sticker of OC
3rd place gets an OC reference sheet and 20$ and sticker of OC

CATEGORY 2!
Design a character
I will pick 1 or 2 characters. They can be traditional or digital art. 
They can be a closed/open species only if you own the rights to them
They can be any type of critter combination. 

The critter must have some type of steampunk characteristic:
examples include but are not limited to and certainly do not need to include all...
cameos
victorian, steampunk color scheme
victorian flowers: Orchids or Roses
tea 
gears, pistons, nuts, bolts
propellars
bowler hats
top hats
monocles
etc...

the winners will each receive 25$, an OC reference sheet, a sticker of their OC, and their design will belong to me. 
If your design is not chosen, you keep all the rights to it and you may sell it, give it away, whatever you choose.

Every contestant will receive a watch and a llama from me.

The rules will be as follows:
You must favorite this journal 
You must watch me
you must link back your entry to this journal
You must create a journal with a link to this journal
Payment can be made to each of the 4(5) winners in either points or paypal.

The current deadline is January 2nd, 2015 (may be extended)

Thank you for your interest and please don't hesitate to ask me any questions!
