Hi. I've started a contest including cash and art prizes.

300+Watchers Art Contest CASH and ART PRIZES!!!Hey, everybody. This is HAKDurbin with some big news. I have recently reached 300+ watchers here on DeviantArt! To celebrate this occasion just like when I made it to 200, I'm holding an art contest on my original characters in what I call the Geranabowhats Universe. Some of the characters you can choose from are different from last time because there are characters with new official designs, and also because I want some characters to get more attention. I mean, let's face it. There were plenty of entries of characters like Eternal War, Aemelia Pierre, and Morfious in the last contest, so let's give other characters some love. You can draw one or more characters for each entry (please ask what their relationships are with each other first if it isn't shown in their profile), and you can submit as many entries as you want. Just leave a comment on this journal with a link of your entry/entries. Rules1) Any form of art is welcome.2) It must be new work. I know not many people have made pictures of my OCs, but I'm putting this rule in just in case since it's a common rule for contests. 3) Absolutely NO NSFW or lewd content. Please keep things rated G/PG4) Keep true to the characters' outfits and general appearance, though there are some exceptions. Due date for entries: December 31st Prizes1st Place - $50 and a full body picture2nd Place - $25 and a medium body shot3rd Place - $25 and a head shot WARNINGPlease note that with art prizes I will not make anything with sexual, content revealing clothing, or other inappropriate content. If you ask something like that, I will tell you to ask me for an alteration of what you want or something else for your prize. Characters:1) Powuru,Credit goes to @Sanguynee for this picture,,,The marking on Powuru's head.,Background: Raised a slave to the Supreme Dark Lord Abigor under the name Rikmai, which is a name of English origin that means servant to power, Powuru lived a life of hate against all life apart from his own. His master knew that he was strong in the Force, but rather than train him Abigor had him fight in the gladiator pits, where Powuru became a fierce fighter who never lost in battle to entertain his master. He was so skilled that he never gained a scratch in a fight, which made him proud of his abilities. Eventually, Eternal War (the main threat in the Geranabowhats Universe) came to Powuru taking the form of a human-like being clothed in all the galaxies in the universe. He claimed to be the universe itself and declared that Powuru's destiny was to rule the universe. Believing him, Powuru allowed Eternal War to enhance his abilities in the Force and put markings on top of his head from various text all over the universe that reads "Powuru: God of the Universe." And so, Powuru destroyed Abigor under the name Powuru, which is a variation of the word "power," to claim that he's power itself. He formed a massive army of troopers, battle droids, and dark force users called the Demoth and began his conquest to rule the universe.Goal: To conquer and gain power to rule the entire universe. Weapon: a red lightsaber with a black center. Powers: Force Lightning, Force, Choke, and other dark side abilities. He can also create armored monsters to fight in his stead.2) Markenel,Symbol on his chest.,Background: Originally, the Sith-Pureblood Jedi Master was a Sith apprentice in Dromund Kass named Aalim. Hating the ways of the Sith, he snuck out of the planet and was found by the Jedi, who let him be a part of his order, and he gave himself the name Markenel. He eventually married a young human Jedi named Tanaz, and she gave birth to twins, a Sith-Halfblood boy named Venarge, and a human girl named Ezria. Eventually, he met me and began to train me in the Jedi ways, believing that it is my destiny to become so powerful in the Force that I will destroy the Sith and the Demoth. However, Markenel's past caught up with him when his brother, Supreme Dark Lord Quadrupala, sent an assassin to kill him. The assassin wounded him in a lightsaber duel, and Markenel fell to what appeared to be his death, but he miraculously survived using the Force. But when he came home, he found that his wife had committed suicide after being led to being he died. Markenel became overwhelmed with grief and anger against his brother and the Sith. He decided that he had to continue his crusade with everyone thinking he was dead. Thus, Markenel took dozens of force-sensitive children unknown to the Republic or the Jedi Order, including Venarge and Ezria, and created a league of dark Jedi assassins trained to destroy any spies and sympathizers with the people of Dromund Kass across the galaxy. All the while, he waited for the opportunity to gain enough strength to come back to his homeworld and commit genocide against the entire Sith Order as well as the Demoth, believing that it was the will of the Force with me leading the slaughter.Goal: To wipe out the Sith and the Demoth from existence and kill all life in any planets the Sith or Demoth have rule either willingly or by force to make sure they are gone for good.Weapons: A green double-bladed lightsaber.Powers: Various abilities from both the light side and dark side of the Force.Note: Markenel's outfit is a brand new design, but feel free to alter it in your entries as long as the symbol is still on his chest.3) Helga Katriama,Gerenabowhats symbol on her coat,Background: Helga is the eldest daughter of a grand martial artist who taught her how to defend herself since she was little. But when she was ten, her father became heavily in debt to a major crime family, and so the don took Helga as payment, forcing her to be a pawn to his major operations to pay back the money her father owed. For four years, she was taught how to fight for the mafia family through her father's teachings and later how to use guns. Overtime, she closed herself emotionally and focused on surviving and following orders. Fortunately, she found hope when she encountered a superhero named Captain Entei, who saved her from the mafia, and the two began to fight evil together, eventually becoming a couple. Years later when they were of age, Helga and Entei married and co-founded a special group of heroes and adventurers with me called the Geranabowhats Gang. Helga and Entei have twins named Joel and Hillary, and eleven years later they had another daughter named Kristen. Goal: To fight forces of evil that endanger the world/the universe and protect her family by any means.Weapons and skills: skilled in every form of martial arts and armed with her special gun called the Flare Blaster, which shoots balls of plasma. 4) Kim Katriama,The Geranabowhats G tattoo on her arm,Background: A year after the mafia took Helga to be their pawn, her parents had another daughter named Kim. After losing one child, their parents were determined to raise Kim to be a strong-willed, independent person who fights for good as opposed to being a pawn of corruption like her older sister. Their father trained Kim hard in martial arts just like Helga and enrolled her into a school for future heroes when she was eleven, where she developed an interest in using gadgets. Helga and Kim's parents also made sure that Kim would learn to be deeply opposed to using guns and other weapons unlike Helga, who the mafia taught her to use. Despite all of this dedication, however, Kim wanted to meet her older sister, who her parents had not seen since she had been taken. By the time Kim was old enough to ask about her sister, it had been several years since the mafia Helga worked for was imprisoned and their parents had no idea what happened to her. As far as they knew, she was either dead or in prison, but Kim chose to believe that Helga was still alive and could be free from living as a criminal. Finally, when she was fourteen, Helga, Entei, and I enrolled in the school for heroes, and Kim was finally able to meet her older sister. Kim became the first new member of the Geranabowhats Gang, and she got a tattoo of the symbol of the Geranabowhats Gang to express her pride in being a force of fighting evil with her big sister and her brother-in-law, Captain Entei Goal: Fight forces of evil with HelgaWeapons and skills: Master martial artist and has various gadgets in her belt for missions.5) Ezria,Symbol on her dress,Crossover with My Little Pony: Equestria Girls,,,Art by @NadiaDibaj ,Art by SiansaarBackground: Ezria was raised by her father, fallen Jedi Master Markenel, who believed that the Sith, the Demoth, and anything that has been tainted by them must be destroyed without hesitation. When she, her brother, Venarge, and their childhood friend, Istawrin were 11, Markenel found me as a child and began to secretly train me to be a Jedi with the belief that it is my destiny to ultimately wipe out the Sith and Demoth from existence. Unfortunately, a Sith assassin disguised as a Demoth stabbed Markenel during a duel and he fell supposedly to his death. Markenel survived, but news of his death filled his wife, Tanaz, with so much grief that she killed herself and accidentally taking their servant, Istariwn's mother, with her. When Markenel returned to his apartment, Venarge, Ezria, and Istarwin were left alone with their mothers' corpses. That's when Markenel decided to fight the darkness through genocide, founding a secret league of dark Jedi assassins with Venarge, Ezria, and Istarwin as his most deadly warriors bent on killing anything connected to the Sith and/or the Demoth while I led the fight against the dark side with my friends unaware that Markenel is dead or that he was married and has children. In the years that followed, Markenel heard of my adventures and accomplishments as a Jedi, giving him hope that I really am the chosen one. While Venarge and Istarwin hated Markenel for favoring me over his son, Ezria shared her father's beliefs to the point that she fell deeply in love with me. She slaughters her enemies and those her father deems tainted in hopes to destroy evil together with me and make me her husband.Goal: To wipe out the Sith and all other forces of darkness and to gain my affection.Weapons: Two dark orange lightsabersPowers: various dark side abilities like Force Lightning and Force Choke Note: The design with the symbol on her dress is the official design to use for any entries of her. The ones with her wearing only black robes are shown as references to her character.6) Drazzema Pierre,,,,Credit goes to @Sanguynee for this picture,Credit goes to PumpkinEmojii for this picture,Credit goes to @ktou for this pictureBackground: As a child of the new ruler of Dromund Kass, Supreme Dark Lord Quadrupala, Mieze and her brother, Howlpawntin, dreamed of always fighting alongside each other for their father. But when Howlpawntin was 11 and Mieze was 8, it was revealed that while Howlpawntin was powerful in the Force, Mieze was incapable of using it apart from the ability Force Sight that her species, the Miraluka, use to see. Quadrupala was so enraged that he had what he considered to be a defect. He lifted Mieze up by the throat and used Force Lightning with the hand choking her, scarring her neck. He ordered Howlpawntin to take Mieze to the outskirts of the city to execute Mieze, but Howlpawntin cared for his sister so much that when they went outside, he took Mieze to a landing station to get off of the planet. He decided that if Mieze wasn't going to be a Sith warrior for their father, then neither was he. He sneaked into a ship's cargo hold to assure Mieze that it was safe, but before she could join him, the cargo hold door closed, and the ship flew away with Howlpawntin still inside, leaving poor Mieze all alone. With no other choice, she ran into the forest before anyone found her and had her terminated for being a 'defect.' Eventually, she was found by the secretly light-sided Sith Lord, Aemilia Pierre, and she was kind to Mieze. The two of them created a bond that led to Aemelia secretly adopting Mieze as he daughter and changing her name to her late mother's name, Drazzema.Goal: To escape from the Sith and for her and Aemilia to live a life of good away from Dromund Kass.Weapons: Sniper rifle, knife, beskar sword. 5) Howlpawntin ,Howlpawntin at a young age. Credit goes to @stelamoris ,Background: Howlpawntin is a Sith Half-blood who was a child of Supreme Dark Lord Quadrupala. When he tried to escape from his father, he was separated from his sister, Mieze. He stowed away from ship to ship to escape from his father. Eventually, he was found by Jedi Master Markenel, who is his uncle, which only Markenel knows, and he took him to the Jedi Council, where they sent him to the Jedi world of Tython to be trained in the light side of the Force. Howlpawntin grew up to be a tall, wise, and powerful Jedi sage on Tython. He studied various books about the Jedi and the Force, philosophized with the Jedi elders, and took walks to admire the planet's life. And yet, despite it all, his thoughts would be on Mieze, and he hoped beyond reason that she was still alive and he might see his sister again.Goal: To defend the galaxy from the forces of darkness.Weapon: a green lightsaberPowers: Various light side abilities, including healing and attacking his enemies with rocks and debris or causing the ground to shake underneath his enemies.If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. With that all said, I hope you will all have fun partaking in this contest!
