Design Contest [new concepts added 9/27]

Hello!
I'm Draugr, returning after a couple years hiatus. Figured nothing would get the muse going better than a new character design contest!

OBJECTIVE
• A unique, memorable design.
• Natural and unnatural designs both welcome!
• I love badger faces and bird catcher spots!
• Character background story ideas more than welcome!
• I enjoy Spanish horse style profiles. 

RULES
• Designs must be custom made and unique! No pre-purchased or stolen designs!
• If using pre-made lines, be sure to follow artist guidelines!
• Chosen designs may be used off-site ((such as deviantart) with credit, of course). 



CONCEPT 1: Free Reign 
See a gallery of my favorite designs here ---> design inspiration

_{PRIZES
• First Place: 1,000,000 EVD
• Second Place: 250,000 EVD
• Third Place: 100,000 EVD
and 10k for all participants!
[limit 1 prize per concept]}


CONCEPT 2: Plague Doctor Mask
^{preferably masculine 
A mash up between a witch doctor and a plague doctor... maybe a witch doctor with a plague mask? Or I dunno... go nuts!}
I love the creepy mask and I've been thinking of this design for ages but I can't do it any justice. No coat color guidelines, but I imagine him being a sooty buckskin, or something darker. 
He is going to be a doctor by day/stealth assassin by night. His specialty is herbal concoctions... with a voodoo-esc twist.
I'd prefer no draft builds, and a version with no add-ons.

CONCEPT 3: Black Calico
^{preferably feminine}
I'm thinking a black/chestnut heavy sabino chimera type coloration to mimic that of a calico cat. I enjoy black dominant, but go crazy with unique markings :) Green/golden hazel eyes.
Her name will be Nala.

I'm not a very good artist, so I don't expect to win, but this would be good practice, and it sounds fun! I'll give it a shot. :)

EDIT: Here!

oooh might have to give this a shot

Interested in joining, but I do have a question about the rule pertaining to being used offsite. Will you be posting the winner's ref sheet to your personal dA account? I have no problem with you posting your own art to dA or other sites of a character I design, I just don't want the piece I had actually made to be posted to peoples' galleries. Stash is totally fine though.

Hmmm.... May just have to enter #3 as well, I admit I'm intrigued! Also I love cats. ♥

@Siren - I am primarily asking off-site permission for art and roleplay purposes. I won't be uploading these entries to my deviant account, but may want to upload other art of the design :) When I post an official reference, credit of the design will go to the artist.

To Others: I am thrilled that you guys are interested! I love the two designs posted so far, and I can't wait to see more!!

hmmm, end date on this?

Awesome, might try whipping something up tomorrow c:

@Valencia - I'm thinking either November 1st, or November 14th (which is my birthday) :3 

@Siren - yaay I hope you enter! I've loved your art for years 

Is this still open for entries? I'd love to participate.
