Remember those markers I was going to give as a prize for a contest? Well I'm slow as dirt getting my concepts out, so I'm just going to change what I was going to do a little. Instead of ALL elemental types, I'm restricting it to one that I don't have unseen concepts for. That way, no one will feel cheated if they don't win because they make a concept similar to one I've already had bouncing around my head for awhile.
The prizes are as follows:
- First Prize
- 24 Prismacolor double ended chisel tip art marker set
- Comes in a black plastic case. Colors include: Crimson Red, Pink, Poppy Red, Orange, Canary Yellow, Dark Green, True Blue, Violet Blue, Indigo Blue, Light Cerulean Blue, Violet, Mulberry, Rhodamine, Sienna Brown, Goldenrod, Dark Brown, Spanish Orange, Blue Slate, Grass Green, True Green, Apple Green, Tuscan Red, Peach, and a black Prismacolor brushtip marker.

What am I doing? How does this work?
- Design me a concept for a fire elemental for my realm Anima Elementum.
- Elementals in Anima Elementum are a vast array of creatures, not just the typical element constructed golems. There's 'pure' elementals that are made up of the element, elementals that are partially made of the element, as well as elementals that simply are associated with/can control the element.
- Anima Elementum is divided into 6 sectors. The fire sector is obviously hot, and where your elemental will be residing/native to. It includes biomes such as crags, volcanoes, wastelands, salt flats, deserts, and some sparse savanna.
- They all draw their energy from elements in some way and must be in their respective sectors to be at their best. Leaving to the opposing sector, or the Void sector will make them sick. They might be able to cope in a healthy manner in extreme environments in more normalized places, like a fire elemental living around an active volcano on earth.
- They can be any sort of creature you like, as long as they are designed around fire, lava, desert, ect.
- No reused designs. The elemental must be made for this contest.
- The winner of the first prize will be used by me as an creature species for my realm.
- It even has the possibility to be one of the castle residents that gets drawn often, and is developed into a hopefully interesting character.
- If I ever use the creature for anything commercial you will not be paid. You're giving me this creature in full if you win. I will not use your concept images on anything, I will make new images. If the hypothetical project is large enough to have credits you'll be listed under creature design.
- If you don't win, you can of course keep your creature, it just must have no place in my realm/lore.
- Deadlines and Other Important Things
- After judging, your prizes will be sent out only after I have completed all the ACEOs. Please be patient so everyone gets nicely done ACEOs!
- Everyone receiving a prize must give me a full valid shipping address so you can get the thing.
- I will attempt to ship internationally just make sure your country doesn't hate markers or pens.
- Post links to your contest entrees in this journal.
- Feel free to ask me anything about this contest I neglected to cover.
