As you all have seen, the fancharacter section on this site is absoultely FULL of OCs. But how many of them are REALLY Balto-related fancharacters (and not wimpy relations like "once knew Dusty", "rivaled Nava's pack", etc.)? Though those are the type of characters the section is intented for, they unfortunately make up a very small portion of it. So why not get people really working with a contest? ;)

Your Task:
To create and/or submit the best deveoped and most original Balto fancharacter.

WHAT I WILL BE JUDGING BY:

1.) Design
Is your character realistically designed?
Does he or she fit in well with the other designs in the Balto movies?
Do they have an individual character build?

2.) Personality
Does your character have a well-thought-out personality?
Does he/she have both positive and negative attributes?
Does your character have flaws? Are they believable flaws?
Is your character's personality influenced by what happened to him/her in his/her history?

3.) History
Does your character's story tie in strongly at some point or other with that of an official Balto character(s)?
Is your character's relation to Balto more strongly explained than a mention?
Does your character have a well-thought-out and beliveable development?
Does your character's history affect his/her personality?

RULES:

You may enter an existing character or create a new one, whichever you prefer.

Your character is NOT required to have a character page. They can have one, but they don't have to.

These fancharacters need to be based off of/in the world of the Balto movies, not the real dogs (sorry, JC. ^^")

I will allow renders and linearts, but they are NOT reccomended. Putting in the time to draw your own character, regardless of your skill level, shows more effort than coloring a lineart or tracing a screencap. It also hinders the ability to create a unique character build.

Going along with the above, if you choose to draw but aren't that good of an artist or stuggle with drawing characters with a uniuqe build, you can ABSLOUTELY include a basic description of the intended build, even if it's hard to tell in your drawing. (This does not apply to renders and linearts. I mean, you can still do it, it just would't earn you the same points that it would with a drawing because again, drawings show more effort.)

You are allowed to submit multiple characters if you so desire.

Obviously, no stealing/copying. Make sure that this character is your own creation.

This should go without saying, but respect all the AnimationSource rules.

I'll post refs soon, right now I'm making the transparents (sorry it took so long for me to get around to it) So, I've done Akino's first (I've also linked to his page, but the ref on it is old) EDIT: and now I've done Hathor's with the link to her page that also has her old ref

Hmm...I'm debating if I want to join or not. I love the idea, don't get me wrong, but I've got no time to do it really XD Maybe. Awesome contest however!

Alphawol fjenna	November 21, 2012

Alright! Carter's page has been created and sent!

Alphawol fjenna	November 21, 2012

I'm going to enter. I draw, design, create, new characters all the time. So, I think I'll come up with a really interesting one with and interesting history. I have basically left AS, but this contest caught my eye ^ ^
