With Moon 25 FINALLY on the horizon, and with things settling back into a normal pace, I can finally celebrate this blog reaching 1000 Followers! I know it's been very up and down lately, but I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for keeping up with TidalClan. I promise there is more to come as I get more and more satisfied with the style I want the comic to be in! I want to deliver something you all can enjoy and get attached to!
In celebration, two upcoming cats (one that will be seen right away in Moon 25) have the chance to be designed by YOU! But if you're not interested, please reblog this post so it can interest other artists out there!
Guidelines and Contest Rules Below!
For this contest, you will be able to design TWO cats in TidalClan's world! You do not have to do both of course, all up to you! The information provided to you will be their names, their in-game sprite and some very basic personality. If you would like to add anything extra that's in line with their provided personality, go right ahead! I love seeing other's ideas!
First up is:
Condorstar! Yes! A leader!
Condorstar is a long-furred, white tom with brown rosette markings splotched on his flank, and a spot of brown on his right cheek, and yellow eyes.
Secondly we have:
Puddlesand!
Puddlesand is an elderly gray point calico tabby she-cat with deep blue eyes. (She's actually described as "gray/ginger point calico tabby", though her sprite has no ginger! Buuuuuuuuuut if you want to add ginger to her design, go for it!).
Rules:
- Submissions must be your own original works. Any suspicion of AI usage will result in an immediate disqualification. No base recolors, no sources outside drawing software.
- By submitting, you agree that the design, if chosen, belongs to me and will be used in the comic.
- As such, anything that happens to the character is a result of the ClanGen RNG or plot relevance. If they die, they are gone with no questions.
- Colored, Fullbody sketches are the most preferred.
- You do not need to be a follower to enter! Everyone will have equal chance of winning, as every submission will be placed into a wheel.
- That said, ONLY ONE SUBMISSION PER PERSON. While you may draw both, I will not be choosing both designs for Condor and Puddle from the same person. There *should* be two winners, unless the wheel decides otherwise.
- Please use the tag #TidalClanContest and @ me in your submission :3
The winning designs will be chosen on July 21th at 8pm EST. The winning designers will receive a huge shoutout PLUS a shaded fully-body character of their choice drawn by yours truly ^^
If there's no submissions, well, uh... ok then.
My submission for @tidalclan's 1000 follower character design contest! (And congrats on Moon 25 being on the way!) Tidal clan was one of the first clangen comics I'd ever read, so I'm happy for it's return, and to participate.
Condorstar was fun to design. I struggled in coloring his rosette's, but I like how it looks. I also thought he needed very large fangs.
Puddlesand was more difficult to draw. I originally planned on her having some ginger (that I intended to turn to cream) to look like sand where her back markings are. I couldn't find a good color, so I didn't go with that. Instead I tried to make her stripes look like water ripples.
Congrats again on 100 followers, and I hope you like the designs :]
