Attention artists of all styles, test your talent?

I have a little idea that I wish to share, and it's one that I'd like to see finished, so I'm calling out artists to help me make this idea a reality.

First things first...this is somewhat of a competition, though I'm not sure how many competitors I'm going to get for this. Secondly, it is a Pokemon contest, so if this is not your kind of thing then so be it, but it might be good to try out even for those not into pokemon. Third, there are eight designs to work with, so there are eight different contests...you can either choose to do one, or choose several, it does not matter, you may even choose to try them all if you like. And finally, since it is a contest those that win will be awarded.

The best designs will be rewarded with: A character will be designed for you based on details that you give us and will make a special appearance in the Pokémon Underground Game, as well as being partnered up with the pokemon that you designed, along with a team of your choosing. Not only that, but you will be given the option of having a pokemon of your own ideas introduced in the game as well, but only if you wish to do so. And lastly, I or the team's artist can design something for you if you'd like...this too is also optional. If these prizes don't seem to fit you, then if you win we can negotiate some other way to award you.

Now, onto the designs. These ideas are based off of two elements: Birds and Hair. Each one represents a different type of bird, as well as a different style of hair. I have a small amount of info for these, so if you wish you may make suggestions. First off is Shagick, a small base stage pokemon covered in a thick messy hair. It is a bird, more so a hatchling, and the only thing that should really be visible is it's beak, and possibly it's stubby wings peaking out of the thick hair. For this one there are no color preferences, so use whatever colors, styles, and details you think would work best.

Base Stage: Shagick
Type: Flying
Ability:
Name Meaning: Shag(messy hairstyle)-Chick(bird)
Evolves to: Afrowl by ?; Smohawx by ?; Falraid by ?; Vulcrowz by ?; Comberquin by ?; Drucklocks by ?; Baldegle by ?

Next is Afrowl, and as I'm sure you can tell it's supposed to be an owl with an afro. This may seem funny, and in some cases it is, but this design, as well as the rest are very serious. It is a Psychic and Flying type, and those are the only real details I have. So, whatever comes to mind for you when you read the words "Psychic Owl with an Afro", just go with it, there are no preferences at all for this one.

Stage 1: Afrowl
Type: Psychic/Flying
Ability:
Name Meaning: Afro-Owl

For our 3rd contest we have Smohawx, a hawk with a Mohawk, I know it's cheesy. It's a poison type, and has a bad attitude, kind of like those punk rockers with the spiked clothing, if you wish you can incorporate that into the design but it is not required. One important detail that must be present is Smog, a sort of poisonous gas, and must be part of the design in some way.

Stage 1: Smohawx
Type: Poison/Flying
Ability:
Name Meaning: Smog-Hawk-Mohawk

Next we have Falraid, a Fire/Flying Falcon with braided hair. In my opinion I was thinking of an Indian/native-America style to go with this one, seeing as some of them wear braids in their hair. It's just an idea, but if you think of something better then go with it, remember, the best design get's the award, so if you have something you can pull off using a fire type bird with braids then try it.

Stage 1: Falraid
Type: Fire/Flying
Ability:
Name Meaning: Falcon-Braid

For our fifth contest we have Vulcrowz, a combination Vulture-Crow pokemon, with it's hairstyle being cornrows...and as you would guess it's a Dark type, especially with it being a combo of those two birds. I leave this design up to you, whatever you can come up with will be acceptable, and the best design wins.

Stage 1: Vulcrowz
Type: Dark/Flying
Ability:
Name: Vulture-Crow-Cornrows

Most of you will laugh at this next one, I know I did. It's penguin...with a comb-over, and the idea I'm going with is that it resembles Donald Trump, hairstyle and all. I think the perfect type of penguin to use for this would be the crested ones, who have that orangish-yellow hair coming off their heads and eyebrows. You can choose from Fiordland, Snares, North South East or West Rockhopper, Royal, Macaroni, or Chatham...if you don't know them then look them up to get a good idea.

Stage 1: Comberquin
Type: Ice/Flying
Ability:
Name Meaning: Comb over-Penguin

The 7th is Drucklocks...a duck with dreadlocks, pretty simple idea, and probably easy to picture. The only idea I can come up with is maybe base it off of guys like Bob Marley, as far as the personality and style goes. Other than that, it's really up to you. I'll pick the best design.

Stage 1: Drucklocks
Type: Water/Flying

Lastly we have one that can't be left out, and probably one you were expecting, and it's name is Baldegle...yes, a Bald Eagle. It's a Fighting/Flying type, so it's gotta be tough, other than that just run with whatever you can come up with...but he has to be bald or atleast buzzed on his head. I know Bald Eagles in real aren't actually bald, but this is a design for a pokemon, and I wanted it to live up to it's name. If you want, you can include a birthmark on it's head that resembles a tattoo, doesn't matter what the design of the tat is, but it's up to you if you wish to add something, it's just an option.

Stage 1: Baldegle

I wish all of you good luck, and most of all have fun.
