Here you go:
As some of you may know, I've been working on a project for a Horror RPG game. What I lack at this time are character designs. As such I am making this contest. The goal is to create a character design for four different characters. You may submit as many entries for any of the characters as you wish but the minimum entry is 1 design for 1 character. If you wish to, portrait side shots are acceptable.
The winners of this competition will have their design used in the game, recieve a private demo preview showcasing the characters and the game via PM, and also get their names in the credits of the finished product. Finally you will recieve a cameo in the form of a monster. (This is up to you if you wish to be in or not, but describing a persona you want for the monster can work just as well.)
On to the characters:
1. The Protagonist
She is a human female who is born from a Kitsune. As such, she will exhibit some extent of magical power to her behaviour. She will be 13 years old as of the events of the game, has blue eyes and brown hair. She may or may not be holding a teddy bear.
To give some reference pictures:Looking for this style to her, and hair similar to this girl but possibly shorter/smaller:
2. Protagonist's Mother
She is the Kitsune mother of the protagonist. As such they should bear some semblance to each other. She will only usually be shown through photos and flashbacks until the end of the game because she had passed away. The idea for this character is to hint to her Kitsune nature through the shape of her hair or other details without outright saying it. For example, hair sticking out in a way that looks like fox ears. If you're feeling very creative you can drop other hints in the design. Maybe make her brown hair look darker than the protagonist's
Another thing that may come to pass is this character being encountered near the end of the game in the form of a ghost. She should look mostly the same here but her whole appearance looking spectral or the color washed out, her hair either black or messy, or both, and her normal blue eyes now looking grey to symbolise an emptyness in her.
3. Masked Man
This person will be a detective who has taken to wearing a mask for reasons not explained to the player. He will sometimes function as a save point throughout the game. It's uncertain wether or not he will reveal his face but the design of his mask is important. It needs to invoke a mysterious feeling yet not scary looking. A Japanese mask should do and the design should be minimal and smooth, for example like here:
The pattern of the mask is completely up to you.
4. Antagonist
Little has been decided on who or what this person is, but possible ideas is that they are someone who is looking to bring someone else back to life through means of capturing a kitsune or her daughter, they could be the father of the family, or they could be whoever else you can imagine. Two important things to take into account though are the fact that they kill the player's mother, and they are also male. I guess I'm looking for an intimidating look or something similar. Again, up to you how you design this character.
I have not set a closing date for this competition yet but once enough entries are submitted I will project a close date on this post.
In the meantime, good luck!
