Additional Info

So let´s start this now!

As there was a tie in voting the next challenge, I decided

This weeks theme is the Color Challenge:

The Color Challenge works like this:

I give you a colorsheme, and you design a Character based on this sheme.
You can darken/lighten the colors for shading and highlighting.
Extra colors
You are additionally allowed to use black for outlines and details,
some kind of red for the inner mouth and tounge and white for eyeballs and teeth.

It´s as easy as it sounds! ;)

Here are two examples:

This weeks color sheme

You can make up to three entrys. Please be sure to use every color of the given color sheme!
If you use traditional art for your entry, try to use the closest colors. Thats fine :)


So I hope you guys have as much fun as last week participating in this contest!
I´m really looking forward to your entries!!
Lets keep em coming ;D

this is "Bug Bushi"
hope you like it :)
Thanks!

Really nice one! :)

Thanks

Ok i realized like 5 minutes ago that 8 pm UTC was 1 hour ago. I messed up. But i'm submitting it anyway :-D and yes i felt like drawing something very realistic. https://steemit.com/designacharacter/@onicreative/young-girl-in-a-field-illustration-w-tips-and-tricks

You are still in time, it's 7:42pm UTC atm :)
That's a wonderful Illustration!!
But I'm afraid, for this specific competition it's not a valid entry :(
The idea is to stick with the given colorsheme when designing a new character (no additional colors, besides the extra colors described in the contest post). And not only the colorsheme is important, also the birth of your own character. The character should be the main thing of your drawing.
But as I said I really like your illustration, and I hope you will join in the fun in the next challenge.

But of course! I do it for fun and creativity, not for competition. (It just happened that i didn't feel like drawing something unrealistic!)

Hey, @w0olf Hoping my entry is still within the lines of the rules haha
