Like character design? You might like this contest!

I've told some of you about the original story idea I have. I have twelve spots for Phoenix Knights. Problem is, I've only filled up two of them.

That's where you guys come in.

Contest: Design and draw a Phoenix Knight! Entries will be judged based on originality.

Example: [link]

Restrictions:
- Phoenix Knights are like the saints of Lumaria, so obviously have to be on the good side. (This doesn't mean they have to stay there, though!)

- The outfit should follow the pattern of this one: [link] , but it does not have to be the exact same. Have some fun with the outfit design!

- All PNs have wings and a phoenix tail (See the picture again). They have power over fire. (The color of their wings, tail, and fire is usually a shade of red or gold, but you can be creative here.)

- You should write a personality description. A backstory is good too, but since I haven't written anything, you might not have enough information for a complete backstory. But do the personality description.

Other Things:
- They may have a mount. Mounts may be a bird, gryphon... Anything big enough to ride on.

- The story takes place in a medieval land named Lumaria.

- You CAN make an existing character into a Phoenix Knight. :3

- You MAY submit more than one entry, but only one per person can place!

Judging:
- Again, entries will be judged based on originality, not your ability to draw.

- If I get five or less entries, no one will place. However, I will draw everyone that entered a pretty picture! From the entries, if I like any of them, they will be included in the twelve Phoenix Knights.

- If there are six or more entries, there will be a first and second place as well as honorable mentions.

Prizes:
First/Second Place: Fully colored request picture from me, as well as a spot in the Phoenix Knights

Honorable Mentions: Sketched request and a spot in the Phoenix Knights.

Urk, I hope this isn't too restricting. If it goes over well, I'll make a club where you can submit your Phoenix Knight design. (Wishful thinking :\ )

If you have questions, ask!
