About (MUST READ BEFORE STARTING!!)
Before I can begin I need to tell you a little bit about what I do. This will fully help with understanding the contest.I am a full time Dog Groomer/Creative Groomer. I have just started out with the Creative Grooming(And have learned a lot). What is Creative Grooming you ask? It is a form of creative expression in which the animal is the canvas. What it represents is determined by the groomer. For some, it is a touch of elegance. For others, it is a drastic transformation. It may involve bright and bold colors, softer pastels, or even no color at all.
As beautiful as the grooms may be though, the animal's comfort should never be sacrificed for the sake of a groom. The animals with which we work deserve nothing but love, respect, and patience and should always be treated as such. Afterall, none of this would not be possible without them.
It is also important to note that creative grooming is only to be performed by professional groomers, knowledgeable in both basic grooming and creative grooming techniques. While the animals are not harmed during these grooms, there are many different factors that must be understood and taken into account.
For this reason, pet owners should not attempt to achieve a creative groom on their own. If you are interested in having something extra done for your pet, talk to your groomer today about what options are available for you and your pet.
PLEASE NOTE!
All the colors and things I will be using are Non-Toxic and very safe for the Dog! I would never do something that would put my baby in any jeopardy!
Ok On that note,I would like to show you some example for creative grooming. So you can get and idea of how this all will work.

The sky is the limit..Er..kinda.(Rules and other need to know stuff)
Always follow the ToS and Guild rules.
I will not be shaving Lady AT ALL. Do not put that in your design! She is a short haired dog and I ask you keep that in mind.
Keep it simple! As much as I would like to paint Picasso on the side of my dog. It is harder then it looks. Keep in mind that I am some what new at Creative Grooming and I have people that are more advance around to help me.
Colors: I will try my best but sometimes the colors turn out a little different. So please do not be upset if your design don't look exactly like you made it. I am working with a LIVE animal. This means I do the best I can. For the most part she hold still well but sometimes she like to sit down while I'm in the middle of something. XD
Outfits and Prop: Again I will do my best! Pretty much anything can go here. From Backgrounds to dresses,or what have you. This also includes her nails. XD
I don't care how you choose to show your design but I would prefer you use some kind of drawing. If you feel you can't draw then be as descriptive as possible. This means use pictures,colors,anything that will help me get the idea.
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!! I am a professional!
Your design must be cartoon related!!
The Contest will run until I find a winner. Their will only be ONE winner. After I have found the design I am using it will take a while for me to get it done. These things take time, I think of my dog first and take as many breaks as I see fit for the heath of my dog. It might be in one day or a week depending on the design it's self.
MOST OF ALL!! The Guild Name "Cartoon Cemetery"Must be some where in your design. If it is not then you work will NOT count!!!! So make sure you do this.
