Good evening Crimson Flag goers,
In an effort to motivate myself to start drawing again, I have decided to hold another free art raffle, similar to the Dragon Raffle (http://crimsonflagcomic.com/forum/index.php?topic=1616.0) I held last year! Please read the rules and directions below prior to posting.
So how does this work?
Anyone who wishes to do so is allowed to post a drawing request. Each request will be assigned a number, and at the end of the raffle period, I will use a random-number generator to pick five numbers. Those whose numbers are picked will get their request drawn as a fully colored, shaded picture! In addition, those who submitted a request last year can also resubmit their earlier request for an additional raffle entry. If you choose to do this, please include the original request when you also post your new one.
The Rules
- Each request must contain a dragon, or something dragon-related! This does not necessitate that your character be a dragon. For instance, you could request a dragonized version of a non-dragon character, or your non-dragon character interacting with a dragon (...or any other interesting idea involving something dragon-related).
- Two character maximum per request! Two character requests will be drawn only with a simple background. If your request contains only a single character, feel free to request a more complicated background.
- Please number your request! Like in Virmir's Ultimate Request Topic (http://crimsonflagcomic.com/forum/index.php?topic=1548.0), please look at those who have posted before you and precede your request with an incremented number! If the ordering gets mixed-up for some reason, please edit your post to fix it. If you will be resubmitting a request from last year in addition to a new request, please also assign an incremented number to the repeat request.
- Please provide references for any character included in your request. If you don't have a reference, please provide as detailed a description as you see fit.
Here are some example pictures from those who won the raffle last year:
Airking (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10423637/)
Trask (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10561112/)
Frosted Lights (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10710558/)
However, given that my art has shifted in style a small bit since then, you can probably expect your final piece of work to look something more along the lines of the drawings below, if you win:
Soaring Sunrise (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12533839/)
Silhouette (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12595074/)
Featheryfluff (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13356716/)
I will close the raffle and draw numbers during the evening on Sunday, June 1. Good luck -- like last year, I am hoping we will see some interesting suggestions!

May as well put my character out there. I bid Rigel for the Raffle: http://edenhall.deviantart.com/art/excuse-me-147710138 http://s5.photobucket.com/user/Kenku178/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-03/IMG_20140316_201804_zps2o7zymna.jpg.html?sort=3&o=3

I think I'd like something silly. Seldragon huddled on Kouryuu's back, staring down at the ground far, far below... well, it looks that way to a wingless dragon!
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11482075/
#4
I've actually decided to leave last year's request the same. Kouryuu trying to teach a winged Seldragon how to use his fire breath to cook fish, and instead he manages to set the fish on fire. Then he sits up on his hind legs with his forelegs over his snout, looking embarrassed. |:P

#5
I'll have to draw said dragon first but I suppose I can provide you with similar looks.
Basically I'd like a Larepin Trask chatting with a dragon-like being from the same universe. I'll edit this when needed, I'm a bit loopy.
-
#6
I'll try my luck. If you could draw these characters, I'd be honored. For the fox, his fur is blue and his armor is based on the gold ranger from Power Rangers Zeo (pic linked). And yes, that is a rifle with a sword going through it. I say "through" because he can draw it from the rifle. The hilt is a sword handle and he can hold either the hilt handle or the gun grip.

I can haz wall of text!
#8, revival from last raffle.
A Generic Meatbag in a freefall race with a diving dragon high up in the sky.
There are no references for the Meatbags, as they are intended to be visageless. I have only 3 parameters; 1) that he be 6' 3" tall, 2) that he be thin and gangly with a light musculature, and 3) that he have "We are human, after all" tattooed in simple text on the inside his left arm. (This can be omitted if it's not practical to draw.) His favored dress is a T-shirt with loose military-style cargo pants and gym shoes. The rest is up to your imagination. (If you really need more info I can PM some more stuff.)
As for the dragon, I'd like a western style, again, your choice of details.
The perspective for the picture should be either top-down or looking up, with both contestants trying to be as aerodynamic as possible. Make it look like they're going fast.
#9
Nondescript Black Fox stroking the head of a dragon made of fire on his arm.
Only Fox ref: http://art.by.virmir.com/art/fencer_fox He has the same "We are human, after all" tattoo on the inside of his left arm, only in white, and favored dress is the same as a Meatbag, just modified for a tail. Same general physique as a Meatbag applies. (If you could tone down the size of the feet a bit against the reference and give him five fingers, I'd love that.)
Just for a change, let's have the dragon be eastern style, full length coiled around his left arm. (Yes, it has to be made of fire, but no you do not have to go nuts with effects.)

I'd like to see Toast relaxing atop of his dragon stash (which would be pooltoys, beachballs, poolnoodles, bikepumps and such) sleeping cutely while cuddling me in his sleep X3

For toast I can ask him, unless you already got his ref

Calebgon invites Kouryuu out to the park for a picnic. Caleb manages to trick Kouryuu into eating a slice of the pepperoni mushroom pizza. The effects of the pizza cause Kouryuu to grow bigger and taller. Making the blue dragon wish he had stuck to eating his fish instead.

Here I go jumping at the sight of the word free again, I don't really expect to win but might as well try my luck.
The subject of the request will be my tiger cub Fear transformed into a dragon. Since he has a bit of a mischievous personality the scenario will just be someone getting payback for a prank Fear had just pulled, while Fear is still laughing and hasn't noticed yet. The person transforming him is up to you since I doubt my number will be pulled.

Science and magic do not mix... or perhaps they do! Unfortunately for the scientific Kouryuu and the magical Virmir, the two have accidentally found a way to fuse the two. Or themselves, rather.
Bewildered and confused sits the blended fox-dragon Viryuu (or perhaps Kourmir) amongst the remnants of a poof of smoke and a charred floor-- the result of a scientifically magical explosion. I'm thinking we are perhaps a little smaller than Koryuu with blue-gray scales (or if you prefer, some patchy fur-scale mix. I'm also okay with the fur completely winning out. [;)). Antennae-hair of course and all of Koryuu's horns and features you deem significant. The cape will be ill fitting-- if it stayed on at all-- and of course we'll have Kouryuu's tail ring thing. You can also draw some inspiration from standard Virmirgon's features.

Synopis: Virmirgon, experienced connoisseur in the ways of Getting Turned Into a Dragon, gives Pontosgon important advice in that you should sit on your money instead of spending it (i.e. on commissions)

Thanks!

Well alright then. I will say I don't have much more than a very vague idea for this, so I'm leaving quite a bit for you to just make up off the top of your head. Have fun I guess?
I was thinking something along the lines of a red fox android attempting to restrain a dragon that is trying to take off, perhaps with a rope or chain, maybe just holding onto the tail, whatever seems like a good idea to you.
The dragon in question is entirely up to you (could be Koryuu, you could get someone to volunteer, or just make one up, whatever you like, if someone wants to jump in the spot that's fine).
As for the android, besides being a red fox and an android of course I suppose blue eyes with a slight glow would be nice. Male chassis, and I suppose since he's holding down a dragon he should have a bit of muscle to him, but he's still a fox after all so it'd be lean and foxy muscle. Those androids that almost look natural but you can still see the outlines of plate/shell in the fur are pretty cool. Ridiculously hard to find references for though. This should give an idea of what I'm talking about (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12905269/), though of course it is unfortunately not a fox. {:(
I have absolutely no idea about clothes. XD Does an android need clothes? Does android wool come from electric sheep? I don't know. Up to you I guess.
For pose, again not much more than a vague idea, but I think it should kind of look like he's having a hard time holding the dragon down. It ain't easy.
Yeesh, trying to communicate ideas without a good solid reference is hard. So, I'm leaving a lot of it wide open to artistic license. Fun, terrifying freedom.

#21
Alright, I think I've got something.
So we have the small Dmitriy dragon (ref: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13014209/ (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13014209/) ) sitting proudly atop his small hoard.
A few additions/adjustments for the reference: His eyes are green, and he should have orange fur bordering the lighter gray of his belly and neck up to his jaw and down his tail, like what you can see in this picture http://art.by.virmir.com/art/fish_dinner (http://art.by.virmir.com/art/fish_dinner).
-
#22 Morrigi Geary ( http://art.by.virmir.com/art/morrigi_geary ) giving a perplexed morrigi DV a coil-y hug. His specifications would be up to him, of course. ]:P
And re-entry from last year:
#23 Geary ( http://art.by.virmir.com/art/fishing http://i421.photobucket.com/albums/pp295/Chibisuke_SG/p03_zps7778e814.png ) as a fairly perplexed eastern dragon.

#24
Seldragon and Calebgon having an fish eating contest. Expressions can be very flexible, though I think it would be most funny if Calebgon was surprised at how much Seldragon was eating. You know, make it look like the infamous glutton might actually loose. Suggested background/foreground would be various fish stands in various states of having been/waiting to be devoured.

Yes, I am blatantly using the references those two provided.

Chase, as a dragon, facing off in battle against Kenku as a knight. He holds out a plush toy, and Chase looks very surprised. His reaction looks like "How did you know my weakness!?" (For those who don't know, contact with a plush toy trigger a TF that turns Chase into a plush himself.)

:( darn.

Raffle Prize for Digital_Vulpine!
When working on a starship composed of a crew with multiple species, it is prudent to get to know the quirks of your fellow shipmates--just ask this poor Android Fox (whom we've decided to call DVPO).
DVPO was minding his own business late at night. After removing a few of his external fur-plates to work with some of his components underneath, this dragon shipmate nabbed one of the ever-so-shiny plates that make up his exterior chassis...! Luckily he seems to have caught her in time to retrieve it.
Dragons do love shiny things...

Raffle Prize for Selden!
Here we have a doodle for Selden, who is normally of the Otter variety. Recently, he's taken to trouncing about in a dragon form, and Kouryuu here (the blue dragon) figured it was time to teach him how to use his fire breath to properly cook a fish.
"Not to worry," Kouryuu told him, "It's easy...! Nothing could go wrong."
Unfortunately, Kouryuu underestimated just how difficult it is to control fire breathing without substantial practice. Looks like dinner ended up a little overdone.

Glad you liked it, GM#14!
Given that this was the last prize for the raffle, I wanted to again thank everyone for their submissions. It is always great to see interest in my art, and I appreciate the support!
Congratulations again to the winners, and I hope all of you enjoyed their art pieces. To those who did not win this year, don't despair! I am likely to hold another raffle in the future (next year at the latest).
