Thank you to all who entered! I gave feedback on all entries, and congrats to the winners! :) 
Journal updated on 8-4-13 New deadline! Figured it would just be better to judge this after the fair! Get those entries in, guys! :)

So, I've been wanting a creepy awesome dark creature character for a while now, and you guys responded well to my poll so HURR WE GO :dummy:

I want a character that works with all the adjectives I stated above, preferably only dark colors used . Some neon colors greatly welcome, but if you're going to add markings with them, only ONE NEON COLOR please. Don't want no sparkledog here.

I'd prefer a mix of animals or something that doesn't exist yet, so here are some suggestions to get you going (no particular order):

Coyote
Bat (No wings, but I love Fruit Bat faces/colors)
Piebald Crow/Rook/Raven (try to keep gryphons to a minimum, but I do like me some front bird feet and MINIMAL feathers)
Hyena
Bear
Horns (not antlers, horns, there is a difference!)
Big paws/claws
Either really skinny or hulking
If you do multiple eyes, no more than 4
Underbites/Tusks protruding from bottom jaw
Large or no ears
Mane/Mowhawk/Ridge
Hooves because hell yes

For some inspiration, visit my cool designs folder: galianogangster.deviantart.com… or listen to the Resident Evil: Afterlife Soundtrack because it's amazeballs.

RULES:
Only use designs that you did, thought that was a given ^^;
No whining/complaining for god sakes
You may offer a design you've already made for me to buy, but only things made for this contest will count towards the contest.

SO YEAH, ONTO PRIZES
First place winner will get:
500 :points: OR $5
6 custom designs of your choice
One free commission of your choice
I may keep more than one character, those people will get 50 :points: OR the CM OR the designs.

Deadline: August 19th!

SO GET ENTERING AND TELL OTHERS :la: </strike>

Entries/WINNERS
:iconhellowishbone: with :thumb381555598: 
I really dug the patterns and anatomy combinations, but it just wasn't screaming "dark/scary/creepy" to me. Thanks for entering!
:iconyukichana: with  Entry for GalianoGangster's Creature Contest by YukiChana
Thank you for making an effort to including a lot of what I asked for! It was a great entry, but unfortunately it was outshined by the winners. Thank you for entering!
:iconnyxthebrazaar: with  CoyotexBat by NyxTheBrazaar
I love the anatomy concept, but it was a little plain in comparison to the winners. Thanks for entering!
:iconshivercritter: with <da:thumb id="383650645"/>
Loved a lot of the design on this one, but I felt I'd have a really hard time recreating the anatomy. Thank you for entering!
:iconitsprobablymars: with <da:thumb id="387141679"/>
Oh Mars, I was so happy to see you entered! I love this guy's mowhawk :3 He just really didn't speak to me, though. I just wasn't digging the colors together. Thank you for entering, I hope you do decide to keep him because I'd love to see this guy in your gallery.
:iconwinterfaux: with  Oops. by Winterfaux As soon as I saw this guy, I knew he was it! He was just the right amount of lovable yet creepy, and you did a fantastic job of combining the creatures I put up there! Congratulations, you've won! :) Please note me for your prizes!
:iconbambitaxidermy: with <da:thumb id="387156740"/>
I'm not a huge fan of blood/unnatural anatomy additions, so this guy didn't make it! Thank you for entering!
:iconsayna-jaye: with  Wight by sayna-jaye
I thought this guy was super cool and original, I loved that mowhawk! Couldn't see many of the animals in my list save for the feet, though. Thanks for entering!
:iconthunderbadger: with <da:thumb id="387683640"/> 
Quite the original character here! I'm actually creeped out by pig resembling things, so I had to pass this guy up ^^; Thank you for entering!
:iconhunko11: with <da:thumb id="388998492"/>
Really liked the anatomy of these guys, but none of the designs called to me! Thank you for entering!
:iconlilywolf101: with <da:thumb id="389006068"/>
Not a fan of scars/wings/chains and stuff like that, so he was dropped. Thank you for entering!
Abbey I love that necklace he's wearing. For real, like I want it. His concept was fascinating, and I was intrigued, but I just couldn't get into his anatomy. Thank you for entering!
:iconbumble-pony: with <da:thumb id="390791726"/>
The anatomy is cute, but this one's just too bright to be scary/creepy! I also have a hard enough time drawing four legs hahaha Thank you for entering, love those ears! 
:icontawadi: with GalianoGangster Contest by Tawadi
PEACH. FUZZZZZZZ. I love this little gremlin. When I first saw him I was like oh my god look at that thing I'm disturbed. But the way you described him made me realize he's kind of what I asked for XDDD So yes, you get to choose your prize because Peach is staying with me! Thank you for entering, I miss your face!
:iconmimmiley: with  Creature design contest entries - Up for adoption! by mimmiley
When I saw these concepts, I freaked out! They were all so original and gorgeous that I was itching to see them finished! I just have to keep that black and blue guy, I'm in LOVE with his anatomy. I'll probably change his color scheme, so be warned! Other than that, go pick out a prize, he's staying with me :)
:iconicklevoldiepoo: with  Chowchilla by IckleVoldiePoo
This guy's certainly a looker! He just wasn't what I was looking for anatomy wise, but I want to pet his fluffy chinchilla fur you feel? Thanks for entering, even if Liz made you XD
