[Klingeth]

Well hello all :3 I'm Klingeth, or known as Kling. I'm not so bright when it comes to introductions, mainly because I just can't seem to think of what to say... But, I'm going to try and make the effort to introduce myself well...

I've been around on Gaia for almost five years now, and only in the past year have I gotten into the habit of collecting art as you would call it. It's become a bit of a bad habit of mine, due to a certain friend, but I can't say that I don't hate collecting art because I just love seeing representations of my original characters in different art styles!

So this will be my very third contest for the time of being here on Gaia, and I can't tell you how excited I am. What I'm lookin forward to seeing is the ideas people can come up with for, "Three to Tango!"

The contest itself is worth around 1 million, and I would have to say that this is the first for me to fork up so much. So please, please do make me a happy kitty ;w; Anyways, to end my banter, welcome to my contest and please, feel free to come in & chat <3

♫ Category Details ♪

A brief summary of this contest, "Three to Tango" is somewhat revolving around a love triangle between three characters. It is based between the love of Amadieu and Melodai, and a third individual, Codie, who is merely a 'friend', but in some ways can be an interference between the couple.

The trio get into a lot of mischief most of the time, but the tough thing at the moment is, who does Melodai really love?

Basically you must draw all three in a typical love triangle scene; or you can draw any two of the characters as a couple. I.E: C&M, A&M, C&A

Favourite Codie & Melodai Pic: A personal favourite art of mine of Codie and Melodai together

Favourite Amadieu & Melodai Pic: A personal favourite art of mine of Amadieu and Melodai together

Favourite Codie & Amadieu Pic: A personal favourite art of mine of Codie and Amadieu duking it out in a fight OR a BL image of them, up to you how you portray them...

--

Best Gothic Theme: A piece that has them featured in either Gothic Attire (clothing), or something that seems dark...

Best Chibi: A piece that has the cutest style of Chibi

Most Romantic: A piece that depicts a romantic image of either the love triangle or one of the two different couple pairings

Most Funniest: A piece that depicts a funny image of either the trio, Codie & Melodai, Amadieu & Melodai or Codie Amadieu. Use your imagination when you try to portray 'funny'.

Most Emotional: An emotional piece that depicts the trio as a love triangle at its best, or an emotional piece of one of the aforementioned couple pairings...

Special Mentions: 5 fav. images I liked that didn’t get one of the above prizes

[Klingeth]

Name: Melodai La Camara
Gender: Female
Race: Cat-girl
Age: 17

Hair: Black hair that flicks out inwards, and has a similar fringe style to her older sister
Eyes: Medium Emerald Green
Skin: Lightly tanned
Height: 5’1”
Build: Feminine, poised.

Other Important Details:
* She has black cat ears, but only ever has actual human ears when in the human world so as to blend in with the crowd. The only thing is, her ears are covered by her hair anyways
* She has fangs, but they’re never extended. The only time she shows em is when she’s grinning evilly
* She likes wearing dresses that show off her body
* She likes dark colours for her clothing, but will sometimes wear white if necessary

Personality: She’s very spoilt, and acts younger than her age to get what she wants. She’s a handful at times, which is why Kitten and Zac have a hard time dealing with her. That is why they’ve given that task of looking after her to Codie and Amadieu. But little do they know she has a relationship with Amadieu, and likes to flirt with Codie on occasion to tease him.
She’ll make people do as she says, and if they don’t listen to her, she deals with them in a darkly manner. She is one not to mess with or taken lightly for just because she’s a girl and looks innocent.

Likes: Sweets, bossing people around, expensive jewellery, Amadieu, Codie and power

Dislikes: Rejection, weaklings, lectures...

Attire: She has no specific outfit and will wear any style of clothing. But as mentioned above, her wardrobe ranges from all kinds of dresses, but she likes to wear the ones that make her show her figure off well. Sometimes she’ll wear a collar around her neck, but that is mostly when she’s gone all goth.

[Klingeth]

Name: Amadieu Des Valoi
Gender: Male
Race: Kitsune-boy
Age: 23

Hair: Dark red hair that has a different style to the other boys. He has a long fringe that covers one eye, and there is a reason why it’s like that, but it’s a story that won’t be told
Eyes: Gold
Skin: Light complexion
Height: 5’10”
Build: Medium build, well toned muscles from training

Other Important Details:
* He has red fox ears, but only ever has actual human ears when in the human realm, but they are always covered up by his hair
* Always has to have his right eye covered
* Make sure to draw his design accurately, otherwise it’s not my Dieu D;
* And always make sure to make his eyes yellowy gold. ^^;

Personality: Originally he was a cold person, and didn’t like to mingle with other people. His sole duty was to kill those he was appointed to, but due to a fall and a bump on the head, he’s a different person. He likes to serve the people that took him in after his accident, and he is in debt to them. He’ll protect one if they’re in danger and do all that he can to make sure they’ll live and not die. He has grown particularly fond of Melodai, and loves her to bits, he’s just a tad bit jealous when he has to share her with Codie.

Likes: Melodai, flirting, girls, protecting damsels in distress, being dominant in a relationship

Dislikes: Codie, rules, being submissive in a relationship with anyone

Attire: No specific clothing, he’ll generally wear anything he’s given. Though he does have one specific jacket he loves to wear as it has a special ability behind it. Everything he wears is dark in colour, but there are chances he’ll wear white if nudged in the right direction.

[Klingeth]

Name: Codie Lee Smith
Gender: Male
Race: Bunny Boy
Age: 20

Hair: Dark brown hair and he has a similar hair style to his brothers. The only difference is their fringes are opposite
Eyes: Fiery Amber/Orange
Skin: Light complexion, but a bit of a tan
Height: 5’7”
Build: Slim build, well toned muscles from training

Other Important Details:
* He has bunny ears when he’s in the realm in which Kitten and Zac come from, but has human ears when he’s in his own world aka: earth
* He has a tendency to wear his shades (glasses) when he’s causing mayhem, but you don’t have to draw him wearing them as they get in the way of his eyes sometimes...

Personality: He has a ‘cool’ guy attitude about him, which some people find intimidating because they don’t know he’s actually a nice guy inside. He used to be over-protective of his twin, being the older brother and all. But now he can see Brodi’s able to cope without him. He’ll guard over the little princess as Zac orders him to do so, but at the same time, can’t help but let Melodai control him.

He’ll do as she says, but will fall weak to his knees when she teases him...

He also likes to annoy Amadieu and finds it very much entertaining, but neither of them have gotten into an actual fight... yet.

Likes: Guys (he’s bi) , Melodai (she’s the only girl he likes though) , clubbing

Dislikes: Rules, weaklings, Dieu...

Attire: He loves to wear goth/punk attire but he always makes sure he has something in the colour green as it is his favourite colour. His wardrobe is a mix of green and dark colours. His favourite accessory that he loves wearing is his shades that he got given to from his adoptive father.

♫ Bump Prizes ♪

For the remainder of the Contest, which is for about 4 weeks or so, I decided to do this last minute thing. In order to keep this thread alive before it just ends, I've decided to do a Bumping Contest. Winner is awarded at the end of the week, and the highest bumper gets a prize equivalent to 10k-20k.

1. Anyone is able to enter
2. Bumps have to be between 3-4 minutes each (only fair that way)
3. Chatting is appreciated owo
4. Bumps have to be numbered, else I won't know where you're up to
5. And finally, bumper must reach 100 to be eligible




♫ Door Prize ♪

The idea of a door prize is that, a certain post number & page will get a prize on whatever post is listed. The prize itself will be equivalent to 5k -15k, whether it be an item or a combination. Though if you're really lucky and I'm in a good mood, the prize might increase.
