I am holing a contest to help get name idea for
[this fellow]. I've been wanting to do a character sheet for 'em for a while now but am still stumped for a name, so please led me a hand with a name suggestion and you could win free art! The contest will be held on both FA and dA via journal.
INFOFOR THE CONTEST
So I need male or non gender specific names, does not have to be mlp style cutie-mark names since he does not have one. These can be people names, random jibber-jaber, or word combos like "sky-seeker". Please read the rules below for how to enter.
The contest will last from
May 12th - June 14th at 11:59 pm estThere will be only 1 prize, for whoever suggests the name I love enough to use for the character. IF I cannot decide on 1 name I may ask my mate to help. If no name properly suits my 'lil mutant perfectly we will chose a close suggestion to be the winner and get the prize.
I will contact the winner via note and ask them who they want drawn for their prize.
SOME INFO ON THE CHARACTER
[Old art of character] ~
[More old character art]This is my 'lil mutant, a strange hiccup of my brain gave him an extra set of back legs when sketching and from their just went a bit more... monster-esk than a normal pony. He has no hair just skin and 'soft' scale underside and back/inner legs, webbed spines for ears, spikes running down from head to tail tip, fangs, glowing eyes, and a snake/dragon like tail.
What I do have for a back story is that its an offspring of a dragon(m) and a horse(f), where it should have had wings, it ended up with an 3rd pair of limbs. Its technically genderless/cannot reproduce but I call it a "he"/"him" because it acts more male than female. Its omnivorous which means it eats just about anything. He is actually pretty intelligent but no one sticks around him long enough to find out he's more than just a monster. He's a cold aggressive mutant that tends to lash out at everyone.. or try to eat them. Never knew his father and mother died when he was young, he hates more than envies his father and his kind, wanting the ability to fly, but not to be "one of them". The mutant will eventually run into my other pony OC, [GalaxyWave], and after trying to catch her to eat, he sees through her illusions and realizes she's more valuable alive than in his stomach.RULESComment
in this journal with your name suggestion(s).
There is no limit to how many names you can suggest.
If you think of more name(s)
reply to your first comment with new name suggestions.
Do not reply to other user's comments with your entry(s).
Make/update your journal with a link to my contest to spread the work and give me a link to the journal in your 1st entry comment. If you fail to follow this rule your will be asked to re-read Rules and try again.
Do not be rude.
HELPFUL TIPS:
Don't spam 50+ names in one box. I am less likely to read through your entry of suggestions if its a MASSIVE comment of a ton of names. Also please don't do a giant chain of 50 replies to your starting entry comment. Put some thought into your entry(s) instead of spamming every name you can think of from "a" to "z".
If you suggest a non English name (Native American, Russian, Japanese,etc) that has a meaning behind it like "calm water" or "sun turtle" etc, please tell me the meaning. I don't want to choose an unknown name that's meaning won't fit the character.
If the winning name is suggested by more than one person I will look at date & time stamp to determine who said it first. If you did not link my contest in your journal and show me the link and suggested the winning name first... but someone else (who followed rules) says the winning name before you corrected with link, the 2nd person will win.
PRIZEThe winner will get 1 Character Bust Colored & Soft Shaded. Bust image=head to chest with partial arms.
The character does not have to be a pony, it can be any species or gender.

A plz account is a term for dA accounts made simply for the use of the avatar/icon as an image (can be used in comments/replies/journals/widgets/everything pretty much with text), they don't always have "plz", "please, or "pls" in the username but many do hence the name. To use a plz account you need to know the username for the icon image you want to use. You type ":icon" then the name then end with ":"
For this example look here:[link] its an image, but in artists comments they have code for a icon version; plutostamp1 and plutostamp2 (plutostamp1.deviantart.com. So put : iconplutostamp1 : and : iconplutostamp2 : (without spaces) to get

Once you have a premium membership you can customize your page more, have journal skins and make thumbnail (image links) or arts (and stamp) show on your page.
To get a thumbnail go to the art (or stamp) you want to show a small image of, lets look at this one:[link]
Scroll down a little and look at the right side of the page, there will be info under "Details" including submission date and file size, just below that there are codes for links aaand thumbnails : :thumb#########: You copy and paste the thumbnail into your custom page widget, journal, or artist comments (premium membership features).
You can also look at the http link and get it from there, simply look at the art you want a thumb for, type out ":thumb" then copy-paste the #s at the end of the link (for the example link that's 185083895) then a ":" at the end. SO you have a :thumb185083895: (thumbnails don't work in comments/replies btw)
Hope that was more helpful than confusing ^^''
lovely icon btw
