“Mysterious Friends” Contest

Friends, attention! Something unbelievable has happened: several creatures tried to sneak into our world through a hatch but got stuck at the worst possible moment. We can only see their paws and legs — everything else is hidden behind a veil of mysterious clouds. Help identify the uninvited guests and get nice rewards! 🐾How to participate: 1. In the special “Mysterious Friends” thread you'll find templates of the aliens — only a paw is visible. Your task: using graphic editors or any other tools, draw in the rest — paws, head, body, as well as any additional details you like (horns, tail, wings, clothes and so on). Changing the color or concept of the chosen paw is forbidden; it must be from the original version (as in the template). Up to three works with different creatures are accepted from one participant. 2. Publish your finished work in the contest topic by the end of 23 August using the pinned form. Attach the chosen template and at least 3 screenshots of the work process for each element. The work process means intermediate screenshots showing the taskbar, time and date. 3. Come up with a name for the creature and state the reason for its appearance in our world. The description must be at least 100 words long. 🐾 The best creators, as chosen by the project's administration and moderation team, will receive 1 part of the “Succubus”/“Incubus” outfit (of your gender, with a choice of part and color) and the title “Not Life, but a Fairy Tale”. All artists who take part, besides the winners, will receive a special participation reward — a Hello Kitty bow (of your gender, with a choice of color) and 10 flowers of passion. ⭕️ The number of winners will depend on the number of works: - from 1 to 10 — 3 winners; - from 11 to 20 — 4 winners; - from 21 to 30 — 5 winners; And the number will increase by one for every 10 additional entries. 😌Judging criteria: originality, connection to the original image, humor and description. 🐾Rules: 1. Using other people's content and claiming it as your own is strictly forbidden. All submitted works must be created personally by the participant and be their own creative achievement. 2. You may participate from only one main account. Double accounts and twin devices are forbidden. If a violation is detected, both the main and duplicate entries are removed from the contest. 3. Players who do not have access to the Telegram platform may take part in the contest through third parties with the organizers' approval. Approval is arranged via the “Questions & Answers” thread. 4. Works fully downloaded from the internet or created with the help of artificial intelligence are not accepted for judging. Using materials from available sources as references and elements is allowed. 5. If a participant cannot create a character digitally, a physical format is permitted: the printed template can be finished with pencils, paints, markers and any other available tools. 6. Each player may publish up to 3 works, each judged separately. If several works by one participant win, the rewards are not summed up — only the highest of the won rewards is given. 7. Works must not violate the current rules of the game and the Telegram platform. 8. At all stages of the contest — before, during and after — participants must remain correct and respectful toward the organizers, the jury and other players. 9. The organizers and administration of the event reserve the right to change any conditions before, during and after the contest. All disputable points not covered by the event rules will be resolved individually. Time to pull your trump cards out of your sleeves before these guys pull their legs out of the hatch.
