Preston Kei Contest 2015

Preston Kei Contest 2015

  Hello everybody and welcome to the Preston Kei Contest 2015! This year's contest theme is about making your own original character.

Instructions:
   Draw your own, original character (with a background which shows the character's setting) and in the description you need to include information about your character's personality and origin story (you can include quotes from the character or anything else to help you sell your character) . The best character wins.
  You must make a new drawing. You can't use a drawing you made prior to this information being released to you. You can, however, use a character you all ready made before. You are allowed to use an original fan character for another person's story, but it may be less impressive and may make it less likely you'd win.

You will be judged on the following:

The Character- The personality and story behind the character will be very important. The more interesting the character's back story and the more three dimensional the character's personality is the better your character will be. I suggest using quotes from your character or giving examples of what they've done in order to help show their personality.

Character Design- The way your character looks and dresses will also be taken into heavy consideration when deciding the winner. The more interesting, unique, and fitting the character's design is, the more likely you will win.

Overall Display: Finally, the second most important thing besides the Character is how you display your drawing. How well the character and background are drawn will be judged in weather or not you win. The background won't be judged on realism but more on how fitting it is to your character's story and how well you achieve the style you're going for.
(TIP: You don't HAVE to be realistic in drawing the background. If you have a cartoonish character draw a fitting cartoonish background (unless your character is a cartoon in the real world or something.))
