Welcome to the Star Wars Pegasus Challenge!!!!
It has been well over a year since the last time I hosted a drawing challenge, and I'm quite frankly REALLY excited about this one. I was actually planning to do this last year, but much to my disappointment, I completely forgot, so I figured why not do it now?
Basically, the general premise for this challenge is to take an original Star Wars character (which I will assign) then you will turn them into a pegasus. Here's how it works:
Comment below that you would like to participate
I will spin a wheel thingy I put together that contains 100 different Star Wars characters (all of which are from the shows or movies so even if you're not familiar with that character you can still look up clips). I will let you know what character it lands on, and that will be the character that you will be turning into a pegasus. I will not be offering respins. Also, if you would like to see what characters you may be assigned, here is the link to the wheel: spinit.connectedpe.com/5x3-byg
You take your assigned character and draw what you think they will look like as a pegasus. Please try to include as many aspects of that character while maintaining a straight-out-of-Anok feel as possible since that is mainly what I will be judging
Make sure to give the pegasus you draw a TGH style pegasus name
Post your drawings as a reply under the comment that says "Challenge Drawings" which is the first comment on this post by 8pm AKST on May 3rd 2022. I will be posting the results the following day on May 4th 2022 aka Star Wars day (or for any Aussies and others who are in time zones ahead of the US, they will be up May 5th 2022 which is just a random Thursday). As long as you make sure to post your drawings under the comment, feel free to post your drawing elsewhere on the MB
I was actually so excited for this challenge, that I decided to sorta join in as well and make an example drawing, so I turned Baze Malbus from Rogue One into a pegasus:
Mapleblaze (aka Baze Malbus as a pegasus) - buckskin stallion with black points, black mane and tail, snip, one hind right stocking, black-brown eyes, and dark forest green wings edged in red (drawing time ≈2:27:23)
For reference, this is Baze from in the movie:
Real quick, before I turn you loose, there are a few rules that I have for this challenge:
Keep things appropriate (though I don't think this will be a problem)
Do not use any pegasus generators/creators as your final submission. This is an art challenge for crying out loud
Tracing and reference photos are allowed, but try to make it your own
All art styles and mediums are allowed… within reason of course
Backgrounds are not required, but are recommended
Most importantly: HAVE FUN!!
And lastly, here of course are the prizes!
🥇 First Place - Full body digital pegasus drawing with your choice of background + a digital feather drawing with your choice of background (or you can chose to do the second or third place prizes)
🥈 Second Place - Full body digital human (or near human) drawing + a digital feather drawing with your choice of background (or you can chose to do the third place prizes)
🥉 Third Place - Digital pegasus headshot drawing + a digital feather drawing with your choice of background

Alright, have fun and may the force be with you! 😁

I will probably be able to get it out before it’s due, but it won’t Be in color. I’ve had a busy few weeks 😅
I am almost done! I have only been able to work on it in small bites due to circumstances, but It should be done! Or at least close enough that I will post it anyway XD!
I know it's do tomorrow, but I still have to color! (at least we share the same time XDD)
I’LL HAVE IT DONE SOON (I had to redo it because I messed up 🥲)
Hahaha I know that there's...2 days left in the competition, but could I enter?
Hay ya'll, I just wanted to bump this post back up to the top of the Fan Art section and remind you all that you have until 8pm on Tuesday May 3rd, 2022, AKST to finish and post your drawings. I will not be offering extensions on this deadline since I am aiming to have the results posted on May the 4th (or Revenge of the 5th for you aussies).
I am still looking for drawings from @ ThunderHeart, @Firesong, @LionSpark, @Nightmist, and @Iceberry
Once you're done, make sure to post your drawings under the first comment on this post (the one that says "Challenge Drawings") so I can make sure they don't get sucked in and lost in the void that is the MB.
For anyone who is just now finding this challenge, you are still more then welcome to join in. Just let me know I will assign you your character as soon as I can.
When I spun it myself I got Hevy, who just so happens to be my favorite clone :))
I'm in!!!

Here is Boba Fett as a Pegusus! I posted his backstory as well.
It's fine:)
@Dragon Oh I messed up. Jar Jar is not my entry!
I am here!!!! Who do I get?
Hey, @Dragon is it JUST TGH? Or does, like, RotR count too?
I think my brother would end me if I didn't take this challenge TwT, so can I join too? I'm working on everyone's art again, but I still had to withdraw from other contests... But I'm super excited!
I'm in !!
@Dragon, fun fact, May 5th is SOMETIMES referred to in the Star Wars community as 'Revenge of the 5th'!! So it's STILL technically a Star Wars Day! :)
I'm SOOOOOOOO IN!!
