Deviation Actions
Hello! I've decided it's time to host another contest for my animated series, "Dark Revolution," now that the first episode has been out for a while.
If you haven't seen the episode, please check it out here as you do need prior knowledge on the series in order to enter this contest!
[Episode 1]
___________________________________________________
The Contest
I posted a status earlier asking people what kind of contest they would like to see and got a suggestion from Enlorah that I liked, so thank you for the suggestion!- This will be a themed contest. I have chosen four themes that fit the story and you must make sure your entry is based on at least one of them. You can chose multiple themes if you like, but only one is required. Just be careful to not overwhelm yourself by putting all the themes into your one entry or you might end up confusing things more than anything else, but if you have an idea that works with all of them, all power to you!
- The entries need to focus on my characters as well as the theme, so don't add in your own characters to this contest unless it's for a background character in something like a group and is in no way in the spotlight.
- This contest will be judged on art skill, but also on thoughtfulness and creativity! Also I tend to really like deeper thought!
- Also make sure that your entries fit the setting too, so no snowy forest settings since this series is set in a desert!
- If you have any questions, please ask me and I'll do my best to answer you!
The Themes
I won't explain what I mean with these themes and will that up to your own creativity.- Truth/ Sincerity
- Lies/ Deceit
- Fate/ Predestination
- Choice/ Free Will
Character Profiles can be found here:

Other artwork I've made related to the story can be found here:

*Note: Not all YouTube videos are DR related, so make sure to do your research first.
While Savior! Dayatora and Dark Revolution are technically part of the same world and story, I do not want to see any entries related to S!D characters since things have changed a lot from the original.
Rules
I don't want to make this too rule heavy and limit creativity, but I do have a few regulations that need to be followed.
- No NSFW. This means no nudity, no sexual content, none of that stuff. I'm fine with gore and violence, but don't go overboard with it. This contest is about creativity and deep thinking, not how shocking you can be with your entries.
- One entry per person, but you are allowed to resubmit if you want to redo it or got a new idea. I will judge based on your newest entry regardless of which one I like the most.
- Must be new entries. Do not resubmit old fanart or contest entries into this one!
- Any medium is allowed so long as it has a visual component. Drawing, Comics, Animation, Sculpture, AMVs... anything goes!
- Both digital and traditional entries are allowed, but you need to use a scanner or be able to take a high quality photograph in the case of traditional art!
- Only use my characters from Dark Revolution. You may add in your fan characters only with possible group scenes or as background characters, but they cannot be the focus of the piece and even then must make sense within the world and surroundings.
- Stick to the character designs. In case of animation they can be simplified so long as the design is recognizable, but with everything else you need to use the full design.
- Stick to theme and tell me what theme you used! You can also describe the theme in the description or you can leave me to look at the entry and tie it together myself, but you must state what theme(s) the entry is under!
- Keep the submissions here on DeviantArt. If you have a YouTube video, that's fine, but please put a link to it in a journal or in the description of a deviation on this platform. I will be making a folder with entries and need something I can favorite to add to the folder. If your entry is not in that folder it means I didn't see it and it won't be judged. This rule in place to keep things organized. (If you came from YouTube and don't have a dA and can't make one for whatever reason (it's free), you may send me your entry via the email on my YouTube about page, however if possible I would like all entries to be through dA or YouTube to keep things neat!)
- Link me to your entry. I should get a notification through mentions, but sometimes DeviantArt can glitch and I won't see it. So just to be safe, make sure you send me a link somewhere!
Deadline
July 31st, 2017 - Midnight CST

Prizes
First Place
An animated non-speaking cameo appearance of your character in Dark Revolution 2*
A full image drawing of your character
(ex. )
Second Place
A smaller animated non-speaking cameo appearance of your character in Dark Revolution 2*A full drawing of your character with no background
(ex. )
Third Place
A non-animated, non-speaking background cameo of your character in Dark Revolution 2*A headshot drawing of your character

*Cameo characters can be human or animal, but need to fit the setting of the series. This means no penguins in a desert. Also, while unrealistic designs are perfectly acceptable, make sure it's not too outlandish since neon colors will not be accepted. Also, there are a few species that cannot be submitted for cameo characters including crocodiles of the same species as Athyir or Idexsa, dragons, and other massive creatures (griffons or smaller winged reptiles are acceptable). These characters may be accepted in the second arc, but not in the first and therefore aren't accepted as cameos for this contest. If you want to know why these creatures can't be submitted, read the section titled "1st Aeon" > "Ca. 2100-2200" in this chart:
