Ok, so lets start this before my tests pile up again and I don't have time. I'll try to make this clear.

The theme for this contest:
Those who have followed my works for a while know that I love contrast so what I want your entries to have is highly contrasty themes. Not only colors or shading, but the subjects themselves.
I'm providing two examples I did especially for this contest:

and

I used color contrast between Silver and Gold on the first example and the contrast between Body and Soul on the second(the pictures themselves turned out quiet contrasty but yours don't need to be that way).

So I want themes like Life and Death, Water and Fire, Light and Shadow, Good and Evil, etc. A world of oposites.

The rules:
-You must follow the theme for this contest(obviously...)
-The pictures have to be 100% yours, that means that I won't acept collabs, colored linearts and stuff of that sort. The only exception are photo manipulations, but you must provide links to the pictures you've used.
-Submit new works, not those you already have in your gallery.
-Your works MUST include animal characters. I'll be acepting equinish, wolfish and gryphonish(are these even words?) artworks. If you have your own species based on these animals, those count too(but I'd like you to provide some info about them in the description of your entry). And, of course, you can draw your own chars/fursonas/etc as long as they are from the species mentioned above or related to them(like unicorns and winged wolves). Centaurs are acepted too.
-I'll be acepting both digital and traditional works.
-You can enter up to 3 times, but only one of your works can win.
-NO stealing! If I find any stolen works entering, I'll rip your head off
-HAVE FUN!

How I'll be judging entries:
I'll be judging digital and traditional works separately.
You must follow all the rules of course.
I'll be judging for originality. Impress me! Find oposite themes that aren't usually spoken of and you'll earn more points. So try to avoid clichés(something I didn't do on my examples so I wouldn't ruin your ideas).
I'll be looking for creativity, right mood and setting, emotion and effort! This means you don't have to be the most awesome artist as long as you try hard(I'll be seeing this comparing your entry to the other works on your gallery).
You can draw any of my characters if you want, I'd sure be happy to see them around(but you don't have to of course ) and if you need any info about them, drop me a note.

Prizes!:
This is the best part, isn't it?
For each category(digital and traditional) the winners will get:
1st place- 3 months sub and a request from me
2nd place- 1 month sub and a request from me
3rd place- a request from me

All requests will be full effort works, that means they'll be colored/shaded and have backgrounds(unless the requester doesn't want it that way). And, if any of the placers wants, they'll be mailed to them.

The winners will also be featured on my page for two months.

Deadline:
Undefined for now, but I'm thinking sometime around June or so. I want you all to have plenty of time.

Yes, I'll be spending lots of money, but I want people to be motivated

When you're finished with your entry, send me a note providing a link to it or comment on this journal.

Leave me a comment here saying if you're entering so I can add your name up here to have a notion of how many entrants I'm having.

ANYONE can enter! If I have a lot of entries, it will be more interesting ^^

I'm sorry I'm only acepting equines, wolf-ish and gryphon creatures, but those are the animals I'm more comfortable with.

I'd love if you helped me promoting my contest since I don't have that many watchers and I'd like to have plenty of entries

Be creative! Surprise me!

(I think I haven't forgotten anything, if you still have any doubts, leave me a comment or a note and I'll be glad to clear your mind ^^)
