Your Task: Design a Cothy!
Prizes:
1st: 400 points or 1 month premium (your choice) + Colored request from me + Cother Pixel Achieved!
2nd: 200 points + Colored request from me + Cother Pixel Achieved!
3rd: 100 points + Cother Pixel (10 entrants)
Deadline: June 30th
Pixel Cother = your design placed onto this: Base courtesy of GrimRanger
Note: I may add more places or increase the prizes depending on the number of entries.
More info: First, a Cother (or Cothy) is neither an open nor a closed species. They're a microhorse-thing based on the extinct Hyracotherium that run about in my original world Arecace for my story AnK. Your task is to design your own Cother. That means you can either use the base I provided above and just color it, or you can draw your own from scratch. The competition will be primarily about coat colors, but if you add other features (jewelry, racing jacket) to make your individual more unique or to create a sub-species of cother with special traits (e.g. horns) this will also be considered part of the design. The competition will have two categories. 1) Natural Designs: These are Cothers that have patterns and accessories that are realistic for hoofed animals. 2) Fantasy Designs: everything else, from cyborg Cothers to sparkle Cothers. Each category with have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place if there are enough entries. When all is said and done, all entrants will get to keep the Cother(s) they designed to run amuck in their own stories and worlds.
Rules:
No more than 4 total entries per person. (e.g. 2 naturals + 2 fantasies = 4 total)
You can only win one place per category.
Please specify which category you want your Cother to be judged in.
I will not judge the same Cother in both categories.
This base (sta.sh/097wv3q2t41) is for this competition only. Don't use it for anything else.
Do not use other bases.
For the love of god, do not try to enter MLP-clone Cothers. I will cry and then ignore them.
Cothy Stats:
Classification: Mammal
Species: 20
Location: The plains of Escholzia and south to the Winter Rainforest
Height to shoulder: 16”
Diet: Herbivorous (grasses and berries)
Role in Food chain: Primary Consumers
Hunting/Foraging: wanders around eating constantly
Disposition: curious, skittish, cuddly
Social: likes to travel in groups of 5 and no fewer than 3
Parenting: extensive, offspring stay long term with their parents
Predators: wild cats, large reptiles, Avians
Unique Features: Cothers, also known as "Cothys," are small proto-hoofed mammals that run in small herds allowing their curiosity to get them into all sorts of trouble. They are extremely trainable and they are commonly bred for racing and occasionally as exotic pets. They are so sociable, that when isolated from a herd, they will follow around other animals until they find a new herd. The number of coat patterns these animals can have is astounding. It is believed they have this trait for individual recognition.
Note: The Winter Rainforest is a special biome on Arecace that is very much like it sounds like; a rainforest where is snows a whole lot instead of raining. Also, the big one is a Wool Stag, not a Cother

Additional Questions
Which category should I choose?
That's really up to your own choice. Naturals would more likely be mostly in typical horse colors (browns, whites, blacks, greys, reds) with natural patterns (socks, spots, stripes, ect) with some reasonable ornaments (horns, racing gear, different style of mane or tail). Fantasies will have mostly crazy colors (blue and green for example) with unnatural patterns (circuit board) and non-reasonable ornaments (spikes, fangs, wings, extra tails ect).
What kind of stuff do you like? :3
Well, this will be your Cothy in the end, not mine, but if you're looking for some inspiration... Halloween, technology, splashes of shock colors against otherwise subdued palettes, anything AnK themed, Bird/fish/frog color patterns, Jungle-themes, Beach-themes, idk lol
What do you not like?
Same as above, but I'm not so keen on winged Cothies, rainbow Cothies, unicorn Cothies, or giant Cothies (that defeats the purpose; they are cute and little :<)
Will it be harder to win if I use the base or draw it, but my horse anatomy isn't great?
Neither. I'm judging on design not artistic skill or medium, and the design will look as good on the base as it will in your own drawings. That said, it'll be much easier to customize if you draw from scratch. On the other hand, I think it may help you show off your design more to just use the base if you don't draw horsie things well.
Can I modify the base?
To your heart's content. Trace it, erase it, add to it, chew on it, whatever.
If we keep the designs, then you get nothing, so why are you even hosting this competition?
Two reasons. 1) Everything I can do to show off a bit of AnK to more people makes me obscenely happy. 2) I really love my cothies, but I suck at designs and colors. I want to see more pretty cothies.
Good luck to all potential entrants! You have 2 months starting now. Also, please advertise! More entrants = more prizes. <3
Entries will be added to the AnK group contest folder for all to see if you approve. All entries will be added to my favorites whether you like it or not. <3

Woah! Your getting into some juicy content! There's some really cool things in here >.>

Full context: Reign of Blood is a clicky vampire game created in 06. I've played on and off since 09. I need 5 link clicks on my invite link to finally finish Achievements List 1 and get better equipment. Thing is... I don't have 5 friends. :') So, points for clicks! And it's just clicks I need. You do not need to make an account. The only catch is I need to get at least 5 clicks before UK midnight. And I think the clicks have to come from different IPs to count. If I can't get 5, I won't pay out. But I'm not limiting this to 5. I've got 350 points, so that's enough to cover 14 link clicks. I very much appreciate anyone who can give me a hand here! Earn your points: Click my Reign of Blood invite link and then comment below, so I know you did it. Well. No comments, but I did get enough clicks to finish off that stupid achievement with an extra click from a friend. So it ended well. :)
Reign of Blood Hub
I'll be editing this as I remember to.... So, long as all my content creation is focused on this, I may as well keep it organized. Quick intro for the uninitiated. Reign of Blood is a "MMORPG" game that is all text and clicking links alla early 2000's when it was conceived. It's about being a vampire and murdering other vampires in a setting that cannot take itself seriously no matter how seriously the players take themselves. The reason to go is not for the gameplay. The reason to go is for the niche. A lot of the folks there are great and you have an immediate shared interest. If anyone is for some reason interested: my join link is here, and my id he last numbers there, so you can friend me: https://reignofblood.net/link.php?n=266460 My Characters: Sirus My main. A young vamp turned at 23 and currently 47 years old. His making was an accident. Dude lost a knife fight. Bleeding out attracted a vamp, who thought this would be an easy meal. Sirus fought back. With
So, about that time I lied on a psych eval...
Been having a hard time getting my brain to shut down for the last few weeks. The click-bait-y title content is adjacent to the topic I'm actually spiraling on right now, so imma pound this out and go back to my bed and (hopefully) crash with a head devoid of looping thoughts. Long exposition short: children did not get along with me when I was a child. I'm in that distant area of the intelligence spectrum where my thinking is nontypical. Obviously and un-hide-ably nontypical. Now, as an adult, I can understand normal people as long as they answer my seemingly obvious questions. I see dozens of possibilities where others only see one. Following directions is difficult when you have no natural sense for the consensus interpretation for sets of words. Meanwhile, normal adults tend to respond to me with baffled bemusement and/or tell me I'm overloading them when I get to talking. They have no idea how I make coherent conversations out of a dozen seemingly (to them) unrelated
Projects and Things
Going to for real try to get back on the writing wagon to get back to remaking Bone and Blood starting next weekend. By the time I was over with having Covid, we started the Black History month stuff (and I accidently ended up on the planning committee) and at the same time there's an "innovation competition" at work was that "optional" except my department managers are pushing it so hard that it's really not optional. And because of that, I am falling behind on the other things I'm supposed to so in my "free time" for work: learning react and filling out documentation for tribal product knowledge. All of this is on top of, you know, my normal job programming. So, I've been busy and behind schedule. If I don't have time for writing next weekend, I will by March. Technically, I did have downtime this weekend, but I just got back from my little cousin's bday. Big family gatherings stress me out, so I did chill things to refresh myself Saturday and this morning instead of trying to
