Submissions to the Browbird MYO Contest have officially been closed! Any new design submissions will not be allowed past this point.
It's been a fun contest everyone, and definitely a learning experience! It was my first time doing something like this and I do thing everything has gone smoothly! I hope everyone had fun! There were so many submission
There will be a small amount of time before judging begins so that sneps and I can take a small break to recharge after such a big contest. Judging will officially begin on September 13th! Until then, you are allowed to update, add, or cha



★ 9/9 - Contest ending tomorrow!
Be sure to get your submissions in before the deadline! As long as they're submitted before the contest closes they will be counted! There will also be a small window of time for those who submitted designs to make final tweaks to the design and add in story details if they'd like before the judging period.

8/31 - Update on the extension possibility!
So I have been debating this a lot, and I have received a lot of pressuring responses privately, and many people being very entitled about getting an extension. Please do not do this! I understand some really would like an extension but it is very unfair to us running the contest.
~~~
Anyhow, I want everyone to know my choice was not a result of those messages, and was because I decided it would be best. The contest will be extended from September 3rd to the new end date of the contest, September 10th. You can view the new countdown clock here.
I urge everyone to complete your entries as early as possible because this will be the only extension I can offer. It's also of note to know that judging and prizes will be pushed back a bit since the contest is running longer. Thanks for understanding!

8/26 - Since many people have told me that they might need more time for their entries, I'm currently considering extending the contest an extra week! (so that it would end on september 10th, rather than september 3rd) Nothing is set in stone currently, but I do have a poll here if you'd like to give your input: agentcorrina.deviantart.com/jo…
I urge people to still complete and submit their designs as early as possible, since I am still debating on the extension since pushing the contest back also will potentially push what time I'm able to complete prizes back, but I still want things to be fair for everyone and to give everyone a chance so definitely let me know what you think!




★ Introduction ★

------------------------
:iconcelestial-seas:
Browbirds are a long-lived, space-faring race with wondrous advancements in technology and the ability to manipulate the mysterious magical energies that flow the many worlds of the universe. Long ago, they faced a massive demonic threat that nearly wiped the entire species from existence, and now a people that were once hanging on by a thin thread have managed to rise up, travel, and populate even the most distant worlds and, in time, have slowly made a name for themselves across the Celestial Seas.

Your browbird can be of any type of profession you'd like! Whether it be merchant, traveler, map maker, mercenary, knight, mage, potion maker, bread baker, dragon tamer, pirate king, shoe polisher, monster hunter, ninja, telemarketer, local hobo, ect ect whatever you want! They are a very versatile species and their ability to manipulate the magical energies in their surroundings make them suitable for many different things.

Since browbirds travel the stars in all kinds of ships, and have access to many different portals and teleports, they are able to meet and interact with hundreds or thousands of different races and species. You are free to write their stories involving your, or your friends other characters. Whether they're browbirds or not!

In the future, there are plans to have various group activities and opportunities available to those who own browbirds!
~~~

If you remember the poll I had a while back, I asked everyone what they'd prefer for MYOs are released! The most popular choice -by far- was a contest. And everyone seemed very interested in a browbird MYO contest as well!! Since then, I've been planning on hosting this and working on setting it up. I'm soooo excited that this is finally happening, I can't wait to see what everyone does for their designs! There's some prizes and opportunities for everyone who enters. Please be sure to read everything below before entering!! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Please keep in mind, this will be the only MYO contest for browbirds!!

Browbird Myo Contest 2 by AgentCorrina
。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆

★ Designing Your Browbird ★

----------------------------------------------

During the duration of this contest, you may design and enter your very own browbird design. Finished, official designs will be able to participate in future group events, and you will be able to make your own stories to explore the lore of their universe.

★ The Basics
~~~

>>> ★ Browbird Weebly ★ <<<

~~~
♢ First and foremost, you do not have to draw your browbird the exact way I do, nor do you have to paint it. Feel free to stylize your design, you may make it as sketchy, realistic, cartoony, chibi, ect as you'd like! At the very least, it must be recognizable as a member of the browbird species. This means it must have the basic anatomy: the eyebrows, the bird-like legs and feet, the crest, and the nose structure. You can interpret these things as you like.

Submitted entries must be fully colored, frontal fullybody, and have a clear, uncluttered and unclothed image of the browbird.

---

★ Choosing traits and magical aspect
~~~
♢ For a standard entry, you may create a standard-type browbird and use anything listed as common on the weebly. How you interpret these traits is up to you, as there are various ways to draw them and they will look different across styles. Traits listed for each tier are not the only options, they are just there to give some visual examples, you may use things not listed so long as it fits the general 'feel' of that rarity tier.

♢ You must choose two magical aspects, no more and no less. They can be anything from the common tier unless you have access to higher tiers. Please read over the magical aspects and choose which one you think suits your character best! You don't have to choose them right away, but if you want to make your design official at the end of the contest it will be necessary to choose both of them. Magical aspect does not have any particular effect on design's appearance.
Remember that crest color = magic color
As an example: If a browbird has blue crest, it will have blue magical effects. Meaning all effects it creates mainly with magic will be blue, glow blue slightly, or have bits of blue sparkles and magic surrounding it. IE: Blue fire if fire magic, blue lighting if wind magic, ect.

Magical aspects count as a trait. If you choose a rare aspect it would count as a rare trait.

There can be duplicate magical aspect combinations. You cannot 'claim' aspects or their combinations.

Magical aspects cannot be changed after the design is made official.

---

★ Optional extras
~~~

♢ You may design items, outfits, weapons, pets, and other things for your browbird.
-
You can design any type of outfit for your browbird. Browbirds travel to many different worlds so they have all different kinds of styles of dress! Outfits can be inspired by any culture or time period, or they can be something entirely original! You can have things like armor, cloaks, robes, space suits, pirate coats, ect! Anything is fine!

All weapons should have a gemstone or crystal of any size, shape, or color visible somewhere on the weapon's design. This can be based off of a real life stone, or be entirely made up, the weapon can also be entirely made of crystal/gemstone if you'd like. It's entirely up to you! All gemstones and crystals in this universe hold magical energy in some form, the crystals on weapons are often used to store and channel magic to assist in various types of spells, abilities, tasks, and attacks. Weapons can be just about anything from old fashioned swords, to fantasy staves, to sci-fi guns! Feel free to get creative.

♢ The only rule with this is: Please do not give any clothing, armor, or weapons powerful magical enchantments. (IE: a sword that steals souls, a stave that can see into other dimensions)

Pets can be based off a real animal, or be something of your own creation. While kitbulls are common companion for browbirds, you may not design your own for this.

Adding a backstory and personality info is optional but it is encouraged and will increase your chances of winning.
---

★ What not to do
~~~

Types: Hiros, Halvs, Ancients, Revenants-- all types of browbird aside from standard browbirds are not available for this contest. In the future, there will be ways to change browbird type!
-
Crests: Do not use any crests that are not listed. Please keep your crest's general appearance close to those shown! Crests always give off LIGHT and they always glow and their coloring should reflect this (Please don't make them super dark). Your browbird must have a crest, don't forget it!
-
Traits: Please do not use any mythic traits, and please do not use any rare or uncommon traits you are not allowed to add. (Details on how to get them below)
-
Themes: DO NOT make any designs involving sexual, sensitive, or offensive material, keep all entries and their backstories for this contest pg-13! I also ask that you not create a browbird design that is meant to be a browbird version of a copyrighted character from a franchise, however you may be inspired by one.
-

Do not trace, copy, or repurpose mine or anyone elses work when making your entry. The Design should be entirely your own artwork.
---

★ Step 5: Submitting your design + Design Changes
~~~
♢ When your design is done you can simply submit it to the group myo contest folder! However, if there is something you're iffy about you are totally allowed to send me, or the group a note if you want help or have questions about your MYO design. We're here to help!!

♢ After you've finished and submitted your design, you may make small changes before the contest ends, this includes adding on any uncommon or rare traits you might unlock. Once the design is official (when the contest ends) you may no longer use your unspent uncommon or rare traits.

If I notice that something on your design is completely off and will not be permitted, I will let you know and you will be allowed to go back and change it. Any mistakes must be fixed before the design can be made official.
---






★ How to Unlock Uncommon & Rare traits ★

--------------------------------------------------

Uncommon Traits
Creating a journal or poll linking back to this post to advertise this event will unlock the entire uncommon tier for you across all your entries! Please link it here as proof.
You don't have to do both but advertising this event is appreciated!

---

Rare traits
To unlock a single rare trait you must refer someone who creates and submits an entry! They have to include somewhere in the entry that you referred them, or else I won't know! This will grant you one rare trait that can be applied separately to each entry. You will only gain a rare trait if the person you refer actually enters and submits a finished entry.
For all subsequent referrals you will get an additional rare trait!

It goes like this:
person A makes a journal/poll/tells person B to enter
person B sees the journal/poll and creates an entry into the contest
person B write on their entry "person A referred me!"
Person A gets a rare trait

Another way to earn a rare trait is to participate in my friend Alkemistry 's MYO event for their lovely mogi species! Please show me proof that your design has been submitted and approved. I'm super excited to design my own too!! <3

Rare traits can be added to each entry (if you unlock 1 rare trait you can use 1 on every entry)
Check down at the bottom to see if I've counted you!




Browbird Myo Contest 3 by AgentCorrina
。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆

★ Custom Kitbull Raffle ★

-----------------------------
Entering into the MYO contest also gives you a chance at a free simple on base custom kitbull by me!
Winner for the raffle will be chosen at the end of the contest using rng!
--
Kitbulls are small, fuzzy creatures that take a liking to all things magical! Many browbirds, and other creatures, adopt them as pets and companions, but there's nothing stopping them from going on their own adventures! You can see some examples here!

How to enter the raffle:
To gain entry into the raffle you can submit your MYO browbird contest entry! Only one ticket per person who enters regardless of how many browbird entries they have.

- their winning design free of charge!
- a small base transfer done by AgentCorrina
---


★ Honorable Mentions ★

~~~
For entries that we found to be very creative and fun! The amount of people who win this tier will also be based on how many total entries there are.
Those who place here will get:
- the option to purchase their design at a reduced price
---


All Other Entries + Prices

~~~
For those who did not place, you will have the option to purchase your design(s) for a month or so after the contest has ended. The price will be $25/3000Points  for common-uncommon birbs with a bit more added on for those with rare traits (+$5/600Points if the birb has any rare traits, or $30/3600Points total) Point prices are slightly higher due to DA taking a rather large cut and a lot of time to process.

Base Transfers
There will be the prize of a free, simple base transfer for all who place in the winners position!! It will be flat colors and lineart and will be on the smaller base. But they will also have the option of a larger base or more detailed painted transfer for a fee.
---
People were very interested in painted base transfers, but due to the heavy work load and time involved with painting, I will have to charge for them.
Browbird Myo Contest 5 by AgentCorrina
There will be two bases available and you can choose which you want!! Bases can be heavily edited to suit all different birb designs!! There will also be two style options, sketchy and painted. Sketchy will look similar to the banner at the top of this journal with rough line art and flatter colors, and painted style option which will be much like my regular adopts.
The winners all get their winning design transferred on the smaller base for free!
---
Only winners get the option of base transfers!




★ Questions ★

---------------------
Feel free to leave a comment/note if you have any questions! I'll answer them as soon as I can. I'll probably put some here if necessary!
If anything is unclear just let me know!

You can also ask questions and suggest things for the group on this journal!!
