Woooo! This was fun. I really liked that had to be to a set theme. It was challenging....

So basically... winner picks theme for next month? Like person drowning in a melted puddle of cheeze whiz while a creepy man in a black hood looks on? XD

Well, I am to cast the jugde on the best original character design contest!

These are the 4 awards

Most creative design.
Most creative background.
Best technical design.
Most exciting bio/personality/history for the main character.


USSRGirl

Design:The main character could be more highlighted to achieve better understanding of it, but you did it in a nice way.
Creative Background: I like the castle design and the area you choused to place it in. A nice classic structural way.
Technical design: A nice sketch which I suspect you made black using paint.
Bio/personality/history: Really well gone through, makes a comfortable read sympathetic of the submission.

Esoteric

Design: Very nicely highlighted, in the battle with flames around, creating a most intense battle scene quite successfully. The ladder pushing signaling superiority in a not to violent, but very successful way.
Creative background:AWARD! The strength, dynamic and extreme background is very well composed. Nice choice of castle design.
Technical design: AWARD! In my mind the superior winner of this area, you sure know how to create great images with those awesome skillz.
Bio/personality/history/: A nice history composed with the drawing.

Orenji

Design: Very nice in many ways, a successful highlight of the character and a very unique design.
Creative background: At the expense of highlighting you made the background a bit blurry, but you see it is a castle and nicely done ^^
Technical design: Very well, you show great composition in the way you created this ^^
Bio/history/personality: You sure added a lot to the character, an awesome read for many.

Nami

Design: With the character highlighted at the right side of the submission you get a clear view of what is going on. The text really helps the drawing in the way it gives a story easily recognizable to the eyes.
Creative background: Nicely highlighted, but perhaps a lack of features on the drawing because of the grass pretty much standing alone at the pictures. The text added a sense of future dynamics to the picture. Well done ^^
Technical design: A drawing who shows some composition in the way that the castle is a bit far away from the characters on a hill. Colors are nicely chosen.
Bio/history/personality: Ohhhhh, I like the way you have made the character so centered in a history, well done ^^

Fairyprincess90

Design: AWARD! Ohhh, nicely composed. It shows a clear sad face and she is retreating. Very well done it is such a nicely emotional picture.
Creative background: It has features and you composed this quite well. The features really strengthen the design. Well done ^^
Technical design: A nice drawing, I don’t see to many problems with it ^^
Bio/history/personality: It really helps the design. You have composed that really well.

Soul Alive

Design: The movement and the dynamics are really well made. If only she had a few soldiers or something pursuing her……. Well really nice ^^
Creative background: Nice type of castle, it adds to the image. I like the landscapes and the flames too ^^
Technical design: Hehe, really well done this ^^ You made the image quite cleanly and well worth a look with this.
Bio/history/personality:AWARD! *Applauds* Really creative AND original. This was a great read.

Warrior 4 Jesus.

Design: I like it, it really shows some nicely composed action and this really helped the image making it enjoyable considering that the main action is so well highlighted.
Creative background: The flames and the castle structure really made this a nice view. A well placed area for the action to take place. Well done ^^
Technical design: I like it, I am not sure what kind of program you used, but seeing the lines and such I think you have really put a great effort into this, well done!
Bio/history/personality: I like it, it really shows a great storyline for the picture ^^

So the winners of each category are

Design: Fairyprincess 90
Creative Background: Esoteric
Technical design: Esoteric
Bio/history/personality: Soul Alive

The winner of the September original character contest and the host for the October original character contest is………… Esoteric!!!!!!!

Really well done to all who entered this, thank you so much!!!!

Chibiwolf454

Design: From the inside of the castle, nicely choosen and well done. Fairly well highlighted too ^^
Creative background: You see the intensity and what's going on, well done ^^.
Technical design: Fairly 2dimentional, but the window changes that, a nice color job and you are makeing great improvements^^
Bio/history/personality: I like it, pretty straight foreward and nicely done.
