Hello, ValkeryMillenia here and I would like to start a new contest.

I know you may all be very disappointed by the fact that there will be no actual prize by I am willing to grant the winner/s a specific prize within my abilities and adapted to the specific winner/s (Example: Name and birth charts, Poems or requested stories, portraits, beta services, ect).

The objective is simple, I need designs for four of my original characters and this contest is simply to pick those designs (if I use those characters publicly most of the rights will belong to the artist of course).

You can use any art style from traditional to digital, you may use realistic styles such as the amazing art of Blackeri or more anime styled techniques such as the equally awesome work of giovannag. Use whatever style you feel comfortable with as long as your submissions have the specific details that I will describe.

You may also participate by drawing all four characters together or each of them alone, or if you wish you can just pick one and work solely on that one.

The deadline is March 1st, and I will accept anything delivered before that time. Also if you come up with anything after the deadline, it won't be accepted in the contest but I will accept it for my personal choices.

Mature and sexual themes are acceptable as well as violent or gory designs, you can use any background and add any elements from any time.

Below are small descriptions of each character's personality and the specific details that have to be included. Please try to be expressive of their personality and abilities as much as possible, also, beside the specific details I enumerate, you are free to design, add or modify whatever you want.
All four characters must have some sort of element that links them physically since they are to be considered to be bonded almost as different bodies to the same mind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PROFILES:

Character 1: Raquel J.

Raquel is a very unusual person. She is very sweet and innocent but also wild, rebellious and dark. She has a very kind personality, she's very loving, protective, extremely shy, smart, emotional and deep. However she has a very dark and bizarre style given that her mind is slightly warped due her unfortunate life.
Raquel is not human, she is of godly and demonic blood, hence why she is an impartial and balanced person. She has a very childish feel to her but looks adult and is physically beautiful and very mysterious since she is kind to all but is unable to trust therefore keeping to herself. She is also quite wild and passionate towards the only one she trusts (her lover) and those she loves.
She dislikes fighting but when enraged she is quite powerful and strategic, but since she is an extreme pacifist, the weapons she carries (unusual elegant close range weapons such as bear clawed gloves, sickles and axes) are mostly for show. She also has the unfortunate habit of hurting herself when depressed or frustrated.

Race: Catgirl (descent of the goddess Bast and an unknown demon)
Age: 19/20
Abilities: Precognition/Divination, Strength, Agility, Feline Metamorphosis, Communication with animals, empathy and Earth Element Control.
Element: Earth
Colors (order of preference): Purple, Black, Silver, Burgundy, Parchment white.

Specific Details: She must be the most voluptuous, curvy and physically appealing of all four though still retaining her innocent cute traits such as her shyness, in fact, if you can make her blushed without making her look childish that will win you a few points. Her eyes may be mixed colors (or a color for each eye) but must contain violet and have slit pupils. Her hair should be abnormally long, wavy or curly and dark. Purple must be a color present in her design, either in her hair on anywhere else you wish.
Her style can be old fashioned or modern whatever you prefer as long as it portraits a mixed gothic touch, perhaps a bit turned to emo, though you can choose any style (even Egyptian to fit her ancestry if you wish)  as long as it fits her color scheme (you can add to that scheme though).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Character 2: Raven Hallowryn

Raven is very artistic but she is the darkest and cruelest of all four. She is violent and aggressive but tends to use a more laid back, mocking attitude towards people. She does not trust anyone, but easily uses people for her own purposes.
She does not hesitate to resort to violence but prefers and sneakier "back stage control" methods to get what she wants. Also Raven is VERY passionate, seductive and lustful, and incredibly blood-thirsty, however she is also highly protective of those she loves and easily gets jealous. She is also a competent leader and ruler but prefers the company of her pets to the company of people. Raven NEVER smiles, she grins, smirks, laughs, growls and glares but does not smile and also has the same self mutilation habit as Raquel though she derives pleasure from it.
Her weapons of choice are her claws, her pets (namely her snakes), whips and bladed chains.

Race: Part vampire, part gorgon
Age: 26 (permanently)
Abilities: Flight, Metamorphosis (Bat, crow, snake or spider), Animal conjuring and control, Strength, Agility, Teleportation, Hypnosis and Necromancy.
Element: Darkness and Fire
Colors (in order of preference): Black, Deep Red, Dark Grey (gold and silver are also acceptable)

Specific Details: Raven should be also very voluptuous and curvy but not as much as Raquel, she should also be highly seductive and revealing, not in the innocent way of Raquel but in a straightforward way. She should have a very classic gothic and chic style though you can mix more modern and heavy elements like punk and metal (think classic-ripped-goth-skirt-with-fishnets-and-army-boots feel…not literally though XD). Snakes and bats should be a present element and her expressions should be suspicious, malicious, smirking and/or defiant. Her eyes should be red, very dark and very long hair and elfin ears are and option. Also her looks should reflect not only vampiric traits but also crow elements.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Character 3: Valkery Millenia

Valkery is a very apathetic person. She is positive and good, but completely impartial and neutral. She does not understand emotions therefore she reacts (emotionally and verbally) according to each situation not spontaneously but by analyzing the situation in order to react.
Valkery is also kind and calm, and always very composed. She is the wisest of all four and also the most practical and responsible. She may be of angelic nature but she is not very spiritual, she is science oriented and cold, always thirsty for more knowledge.
She is protective and caring towards those she loves, despite not understanding these feelings. She is also a bit of a loner and very quiet, preferring to listen instead of talking. Finally she is also artistic but a very harsh perfectionist.
If she used weapons it would be automatic guns or scythes.

Race: Descendant of Angels
Age: 22 (permanently)
Abilities: Wisdom, Analytic Mind, Control over Wind, Photographic Memory at abnormal levels.
Element: Air and Light
Colors (order of preference): White, Silver, Grey, Purple, Brown, Pastel Blue, Salmon, ect

Specific Details: Valkery should be the least curvy of the four but with a soft elegant beauty to her. Wings are part of her anatomy and her hair should be light (but no blond, pink or white, but oranges and other vivid tones are perfectly acceptable) and her eyes should be cold therefore grey or silver would be ideal. As for her style she should not have any gothic traits, but a more bohemian look, her clothes should be practical and reduced but also modern and artistic (jeans, patterns and button up shirts are good but you can pick anything you wish, anything at all) and her clothes should not be vivid but more plain or pastel oriented.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Character 4: Hekate Usagi J.

Hekate is the only human of the four, however she is a witch and a pagan priestess, and therefore possesses some abilities.
She acts extremely playfully and childish and very positively, but she is in fact the most adult and motherly of all three. She is very protective (always taking care of everyone) and warm and rarely shows any jealousy, she is selfless and lives for others. She always hides behind a smile and is also unusually lustful and passionate despite her playful nature, in fact she is the most liberal and pervy of all four, a straightforward bisexual.
Hekate loves cooking, shopping, laughing and messing with potions and experiments but she is also a perfectionist and wiser than she seems. Despite being peaceful and amorous she is not the sort of person anyone should cross, she would get revenge and watch her enemy sink with a smile on her lips and in a way that would exempt her from guilt.
Hekate can also transform into creatures with whom she has magical binds with and can easily use their abilities, which she sometimes does for the fun of it (like turning into a bunny girl). She has a great sense of humor and loves cosplay.
As for weapons she prefers spells, potions and staffs, though daggers and short swords are acceptable in her book.

Race: Human Witch
Age: 20
Abilities: Spell casting, Potion Making, Metamorphosis (succubus, rabbit, mermaid, ect you can draw her human or as any of these), Ancient Knowledge, Great Improvisation Techniques, Acting Skills.
Element: Water
Colors (order of preference): Red, Gold, Green, White, Black, Brown, Grey.

Specific Details: Hekate's curviness should be somewhere between Raven and Valkery but with a more mature 'roundness' to her body's build, but like Raven she is very seductive and revealing. Her hair should be the shortest of the four but still long and dark (not black though), her eye color should be plain (brown or amber for example) and her design should transmit her warm, seductive happy feelings.
As for style, you can add her cosplay preference into it (aprons, bunny ears, whatever you want), nature lover/witch look, childish Lolita look or keep it simple and human. She has a more classic and chic style and likes to look good and yet feel comfy but emo or vintage elements are quite acceptable too, so you can expand to whatever you wish just stay in the color scheme.
Nature elements and witch references (such as pentacles for example) should be present.
