So I have a tendency to obtain pictures for future projects as far as a year in advance, it's one of the things I like to have already when I start said projects and as some of you may know I'm going to start something called the Decoded Project after the Mascot Contest ends. For this project, my aim is to have nice lined and pointed horses available to the public as well as to encourage other players to pick up the breed. I, unfortunately, can't offer cool things like pictures/coding because it's out of my range of abilities but this where I can set up a graphic contest to aide in that. This is a contest for multiple graphics, each with their own prizes. One thing I would like all of these pictures to have is a little "hint/detail" per se that relates to a code being figured out since they will be "Decoded" horses. Please don't forget to read under the "Other Prizes/Deadlines" for other details.

In Ruin - Prize 200m

This is a theme of the picture, you can choose any sort of "in ruin" aspect or however you portray the phrase. This horse will be one of the starters for the Decoded Projects, I would like either a grey or paint combination of your choosing Holsteiner/Warmblood (I'm fine with horses that can pass as such). The following text "A Decoded Holsteiner Stallion" somewhere on the picture and the name "Dominicus".

Monster - Prize 250m or 6m upgrade

This is the name of the horse and to include "A Decoded Holsteiner Mare" on the picture, this will probably be my only mare project for this line. Any color Holsteiner/Warmblood works, for the horse to be standing near something that could show a reflection and for the eyes in the reflection to be an ice blue to you get that eerie effect like a 'monster mare'. The background to include a field or patch of flowers and a rainbow in the sky, something similar to the background in Herbie's picture is what I'm referring to if you need a reference.

Deserter - Prize 200m

This is again a theme of the picture, you can choose how you would portray it and the horse to be a palomino or buckskin that can pass as a warmblood. The following text "A Decoded Holsteiner Stallion" and the name "Exile". I have a picture for another project horse that will be a descendant of this horse and that horse is in a desert which is something you can play with if you want ^^.

Verse - Prize 250m or 6m upgrade

Another horse name and to include "A Decoded Holsteiner Stallion". I want the background for this one to be something that shows "two worlds" per se, like one world, is starting to fade away or the horse is crossing from one to the other, please use two seasons to show the contrast. A Bay Holsteiner/Warmblood to be used with a star and a snip on the face, you can choose to include leg markings if you want.

Other Prizes & Deadlines

* The prizes are as follows; 2nd is 150m and 3rd is 100m. If I really do like your graphic but it does not win and you are willing to sell it to me blank, we can discuss a price ^^.

* Deadline for all of them is May 31st - to allow the players working on entries to get them in.

* I want to encourage creativity and artistic freedom, usually graphics turn out really awesome for me when I'm open to this especially on the theme pictures as I do have some specifics on Monster and Verse's pictures.

May not be spooky enough but thought I'd enter a picture for Monster for fun :)

*I say hopefully because I'm hoping I didn't miss anyone, I don't think I did but one never knows. Everyone should have received messages from this account which is my Kerry Bog Pony account and also the one I was keeping all the prize money on so it wouldn't get spent on my main.
