RULES / HOW TO ENTER

If your character is interested in getting their surf on with my rabbit Malea, show her what they've got! Do two things:

1. Watch my page
2. Comment down below and show off your character's reference and/or best photo! If you only have a reference, that's fine, but images that show your character doing something (posing, an activity, etc.) will be much more effective at getting your character chosen!
>>> You may only enter ONE character and ONE picture besides their reference sheet, so choose wisely! You're disqualified if you try and enter more than that. Don't send me albums or galleries.
3. (Optional) Make a journal sharing this YCH. It's not required, but I greatly appreciate the support and MAY consider if you've shared a journal when selecting a character.

Some guidelines to help your character get chosen:
* be an adult, anthro character (any gender, any species).
* loosely fit the body type shown. For this YCH, your character should be somewhat taller than Malea (who's just short of 5ft tall). I will make small / moderate adjustments to fit your character, such as body type, curviness, muscle mass, etc., but I'm not going to choose vastly different shaped characters that will require I redraw the whole thing.
* the artwork you choose is the key to getting picked! If you only have a character sheet, that's fine, but choosing an image that shows off your character's personality and charm will do a much better job at getting them chosen.

Deadline to submit your character is Friday, June 16, 2023 at 1600 MST. After that, I will be choosing a suitable character for the YCH and contact the winner. There is no exact timeline for completion of the artwork, but I try not to let artwork stay in my queue for more than a couple months.

If I choose you, you can specify:
* your character's expression, and the pose of their right arm (could be beckoning to the viewer, or holding a beach ball under their arm... something else?)
* the design of your character's swimsuit and surfboard (or, give me a general color scheme for both and I'll figure something out).
* any dialogue for your character in the artwork (I'll choose what Malea is saying, if anything)
