HEY NERDS, IT'S CONTEST TIME AGAIN

This contest won't have any physical mail-in prizes like the last one, but there are art prizes! 

BUT, DOWN TO BUSINESS,


For this contest, I'll need y'all to design an outfit (or 2, or more) for my character Kyd!

KYD by Deer-Head


Here are the guidelines:

1. The outfit MUST cover their chest piece! The world they live in is unkind to unnatural beings. The stained glass window is a dead giveaway to Kyd being a Doll, a living being created by giving life to something lifeless. Their wooden limbs are not uncommon tho, many people in this world have wooden prosthetics

2. Please do not dress them in anything inappropriate. Examples are bondage wear and the like

3. Their feet don't need to be covered, that is optional. I imagine they'd prefer to be able to touch the ground with their feet though so that's just a side-note

4. The aesthetic of the world they're in is very mixed, but is heavily inspired by fantasy styles. Modern real-world clothes likely wouldn't work, neither would futuristic styles (like tron or whatever bptbpt). You can put them in nice dresses if you want tho! 

5. You can draw as many outfits and entries for this contest as you'd like! The more the merrier! If you do this though, I would prefer you keep multiple outfits on one pic so that the contest favs folder doesn't get clogged :'> Additionally, you can only win one prize if you enter multiple outfits. It wouldn't be fair if one person won every prize

6. If you draw anything offensive for this contest I will not hesitate to block you without warning.


~Design Help Section~

While the designs are suuuper outdated, you can go check the deer-school blog for the other characters if you need inspiration if you'd like! Check the group's /about page too, there's a lot of world info there: 
deer-school.tumblr.com/about

Also on the blog it mentions that the culture of this world is heavily centered around masks, but please don't give Kyd a mask. A hood is fine, but nothing on their face beyond that

AND IF YOU FEEL LIKE LISTENING TO IT... I made a VERY LONG playlist (that is occasionally still updated) for Kyd's story :'> I've been very inspired lately I appologize for the length haha-

Feel free to ask questions if you have any!

---HUGE DISCLAIMER---

I really would like to go all the way through with making Kyd's story into a comic series. Any of these outfits y'all design could end up there, even if you're not a winner. The winning designs are just a lot more likely to be in it. If I use your outfit in the comic, I will be sure to notify you beforehand!! (Also if you're not a winner initially and I end up using your outfit design later on, I'll offer a traditional sketch request 2 u :'> )
