Hey fellow Steemians,

it´s time for this weeks #designacharacter contest! As I already announced, I made a few changes to the contest. ![](https://assets-auto.rbl.ms/f0d167e1f3d50a694ec504f500c9f3d15ea8dcc56e7c763ce75d2c2663f2c6af)

# Design A Character Contest - Week 5 ## The Contest This contest is open to artists of any level, background and drawing style. Traditional Art will be accepted as well as Digital art. Every week I will post a new challenge and want you to design your own character based on the given theme. Every weeks contest will have one challenge of the following themes: |Theme |What is it all about| |-------|--------------------| |Shape Challenge| Design one (or more) character(s) based on one (or more) given shapes| |Style Challenge| Design a character in the style of an given artist, series or studio| |Color Challenge| Design a character based on a given color sheme| |Theme Challenge| Design a character based on a given theme| |Reimagine Challenge| Reimagine a given character|

## The judging ![](https://78.media.tumblr.com/acb5257116299ff900521f7ed5346271/tumblr_nkbib1weR21sc242ro9_500.gif) One of the main changes I talked about, is the time span for working on the entries and the time span for user votings. I think every participant will be happy to have more time to create their entries. So this weeks Contest begins on **Thursday 18th of January**. On **Tuesday 23rd of January** I will post the Top 3 and allow steemit users to vote for the final placements. The Winners will be announced on **Thursday 25th of January**.

## The Prizes ![prize](https://media1.tenor.com/images/1a42e091772a75a596dc2aa5aeaeab80/tenor.gif?itemid=4512595) Another change to make the contest more attractive is that from now on **all Top 3 entries will get a reward**. The winners will be announced on next Thursday and will be rewarded with **70% of all SBD raised on that weeks #designacharacter contest-posts.** The prizes will split up as follows: |Place|Rewards| |----|----| | 🥇

But now to this weeks Challenge: ## This weeks theme is the Style Challenge: ### The Style Challenge works like this: In the Style Challenge, I will give you three different Styles. **1.) One cartoon/manga/comic Artist, Series or Studio Style** _{(e.g. The Simpsons, Bill Watterson, Disney, Frank Miller...)} **2.) One Modern Days Artist Style** _{(e.g. Luis Royo, Jean Giraud, H.R. Giger, @beekart ;) ...)} **3.) One Classic Artist Style** _{(e.g. Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol...)} You can make up to Two characters/entries **per given Style**. **Bonus in judgement will be considered if you try to make one character in all three different styles!**

|**Here are some examples how your character could look like:**| |--------------------------------------------------------------| | 1.)
