I received
21th entry!!!!!!!!













Don't be shy and ask me some questions about contest!I will not bite you

+you can give me link from your OC drawing and ask me something about "can I save this form of wings/or can I keep this markings all over the body or something else" I will help you

+you can draw HOW your OC is transformating into dolphinbird form^^
+you can draw more than one your OC (but only on one piece of art!

)

Open to traditional and digital art except photomanipulation!
Attention plz 
Some questions from my watchers:You:- Does the jewellery & markings have to be in the places shown as examples, or are they really just examples?
Me:-I show only markings that are used by original dolphinbirds (you can see meaning of them in Eldann's refsheet fav.me/d275bmj ). If your OC have another markings- you can draw them only^^
Dolphinbirds are using this jewelery to levitation and teleportation (only adult dolphinbirds can use teleportation)- so it will be better if you will draw them. Colour of jewelery- by your choice. If your OC is wearing jewelery on another places- you can add them too.
You:-Does the tail - the two parts of it,- have to be same height?
Me:- Two parts of tail must be symmetrical^^
You:-Has the tail to be covered with short feathers only, like on your pictures, or can we give our dolphinbirded OCs some longer ones?
Me:-You can draw dolphinbird with long tail feathers but you must show that tail consists of two symmetrical parts.
You:-Can we make some feathers on the head, not-being ears?
Me:-You can add extra feathers on the back side of the dolphinbirds body (where spinal fine is) + people with horse OC's can add fur
You:-Can a dolphinbird wield a sword?
Me:-Yes^^

<---this
PS You can "forget" to draw levitation and teleportation jewelery if you really don't want to draw them
You:-Does it have to be a representation of one of my OC or i can make a OC just for this contest?
Me:-It must be a representation of your OC
You:-Can it wear armor?
Me:-It can wear armour (but no scales!) +don't forget about jewelery for levitation
You:-Can it have horns? bigger teeth?
Me:-No horns. Bigger teeths can be, why not?..
You:-How many wings?
Me:- As many wings as your OC have (or 2 wings if your OC is wingless)
You:-My OC is robot.Can I draw robot-dolphinbird?
Me:- Yes, you can^^

Only one entry per person!

Note me with your entry!
You must draw your OC as a dolphinbird in different situation from your OC's life!
(All OC's are allowed -animals,mythic and real,different fantasy creatures and humans)
Mature content is not allowed!Rus:Наконец-то я сделала это!! Конкурс! Ваша задача-нарисовать вашего персонажа ввиде птицедельфина.(любой ваш персонаж- животное,мифическоеили реальное,фэнтезийный зверь или человек- кого пожелаете) Изобразите его в какой-нибудь ситуации из жизни вашего перса, только без кровищи и без +18 пожалуйста!
Не надо стесняться- спрашивайте,что вас интересует по поводу конкурса!Я ведь не кусаюсь 
Можете давать мне ссылку на вашего перса и спрашивать что-то вроде "А могу ли я сохранить именно эту форму крыльев в птицедельфиньем варианте/могу ли я сделать примерно такой рисунок на теле птицедельфина" И в 90% случаев я пойду вам навстречу и разрешу^^
+Можете нарисовать сам процесс превращения вашего перса в птицедельфина (как,по вашему мнению,это могло бы выглядеть)
+Можете изобразить на рисунке сразу несколько своих персов в виде птицедельфинов, если вам так удобней.
Есть три вида птицедельфинов- южные (тело длинное,клюв тоже,зубов нет, целиком покрыты перьями), северные (тело и клюв короткие,зубы есть, тело покрыто шерстью) и промежуточный вариант- тело и клюв средней длины,зубы могут быть (а могут и не быть) тело сверху покрыто перьями,снизу шерстью (птицедельфинов,покрытых сверху шерстью,а снизу перьями,нет)
Все плавники покрыты перьями, на хвосте перья.
Плавники по своему строению похожи на крылья, но могут выполнять роль рук (есть одно отстающее от плавника перо, соответствующее большому пальцу)
На хвосте у настоящих птицедельфинов есть браслет,позволяющий им левитировать,когда они находятся низко над землей. У взрослых есть украшение на спинном плавнике,оно служит для телепортации. Но так как у многих есть затруднение с придумыванием украшений, я разрешаю не рисовать их..Dolphinbirds refsheet and other info that can help you:
