Autumngold: Hello, everyone! And here is the LONG-AWAITED WINNERS OF…
Crowd: THE CHARACTER DESIGN CHALLENGE!!!
Autumngold: Cats and I would like to apologize for the many, many, MANY month-long wait. We are both incredibly sorry that it’s been this long, but life sometimes is just plain busy. So without any further ado, I would like to ANNOUNNCE THE WINNERS.
Cats: I would just like to say that it was INCREDIBLY hard to choose the winners! There were so many amazing drawings and amazing designs and it was difficult to narrow it down to three winners. I would like to remind you all though, that even if you didn’t win one of the main prizes, you still did spectacularly well! I will also be awarding all participants with a simple headshot! More on that later though!
Autumngold: If you guys don’t recall, there were three main prizes for the best drawing, best design, and character that fits into the assigned herd the best! Lets start with best drawing! This prize goes to…
Cats: Nightmist, for her amazing drawing of Cherrydawn of Desert Herd! I must say that your drawing is BEAUTIFUL! I love the colors and the anatomy of the horse and the wings is perfect! Here is her drawing:
Look at the end of the post to see your prize!
Autumngold: The second category was best design! This was super hard to find the winner of! All of the designs were so pretty and original! This prize goes to…
Cats: Starleaf (Spring Herd), and her adorable drawing of Lightningwave of Sun Herd! We both love the ombre effect of her wings! So colorful and bright and totally Sun Herd! Here is her drawing!
Check at the end of the post to see your prize!
Autumngold: The last category was ‘character that fits into the assigned herd the best’! I must say that this was the HARDEST category to choose from! All of the characters looked so much like there respective herds! The winner of this category is…
Cats: (OK, this was INCREDIBLY HARD to choose the winner! I probably spent 10 minutes deciding! AHHHHH) Cinderfrost (Sunblaze), and her character Iceshard of Snow Herd! Such an adorable drawing and character! Here is her drawing:
Please check down below to see what your prize is!
Autumngold: That is it for the categories! But all others who participated ( Dragon, Brightriver, Echolake, Rainleaf (Desert Herd), and Taylor N.) can still receive a prize! Here is your prize:
1. Simple marker headshot of a pegasus (either TGH, ROTR character or OC) with a simple expression/position

Autumngold: Winners of the three Categories receive:
1. Traditional, watercolor headshot of one character (can be human, pegasus, OC, pet, anything as long as it is appropriate) with a semi-complex position and simple circle background! (Sorry but no ship drawings)
Autumngold: Ok, that is it! Thank you all so much for joining! It was super fun seeing all your drawings and characters! Hopefully, I can do another challenging challenge before soon! Keep an eye out on the horizon, because the next one is going to be insanely fun (I hope!)! So long and see you next time on…
Crowd: THE GUARDIAN HERD ART CHALLENGE SHOW!
REMINDER: When telling me your character for the prize, please be SUPER SPECIFIC! For example: instead of saying blue, say ‘dark navy blue almost black’. And if possible, please include a reference image! Thanks!
@Dragon @Brightriver @Nightmist @Cinderfrost (Sunblaze) @Echolake @Rainleaf (Desert Herd) @Starleaf (Spring Herd) @Taylor N.
Thanks again for joining!
(Just a fair warning this is from Domination which is a RP.... so she's a little strange!! XD)
Caita: she is a appaloosa but where it should be white it is a pale green, her hair is longer and black, and her body is light brown. she has a pale green blaze on her face that has a little bit of a twist to it too. Her wings are pale green
This twist would look something like this just pale green:
I want her to have like a very proud look to her, you know like that look that mother's get when they are proud of their child, like that.... That's like the only way that I could really explain it!! XD
Could you draw Nightmist for me? I forgot the name of her coat, but it’s almost like a liver chestnut dark chocolate and then a really pale, yellowish mane and tail. She has a blaze with little white appaloosa spots around it, dark, dark green eyes. Her feathers are a mixture between purple, cool gray, dark green, and a little hint of black shimmeryness.
Position wise, I think it would be cool if you showed the more proud, flirtatious side of Nightmist other than her angry, witty side.
I was thinking she could have her head held high, lips quirked ever so slightly in a smile, and her eyes are almost half-lidded with one ‘eyebrow’ quirked up, as if she’s daring you flirtatiously to question her resolve. For the background you could make it heavily wooded, or even in an environment that has more of a warm tint to it because most of her colors are on the cool-side of the color wheel.
Here’s Dragon’s representation because it’s 100% better than mine:
And Starleaf’s(I think this coat color is more accurate):
Just finished @Dragon ’s and @Brightriver ’s prizes! Both will be posted soon!
Could I get a headshot of my OC Solarmoon? (A.K.A Heartsong)
She is a bay pinto mare with a black and white mane and tail. One hind and one front sock. Her wings are royal purple that fade into a beautiful gold
congratulations everyone!!!! all the drawings were FANTASTIC!!
Good job everyone!! Also I don't think I have every really gotten a prize from a challenge... maybe one but other than that not really!! XD and I think it was a feather.... hmm deciding what I want will probably be hard, I'll come back in a little while (Maybe a few days) When I have decided, thanks Cats!!
Awesome! :D Great job everybody!!!!!!! :D I’ll edit this comment with my character here in a little bit.
