This is an art competition with point and art prizes that will scale based on how many people enter.
The Mission
Take one of my nordies to your ranch/stable/farm/home and have them hang out with your nordies! But make sure you take a picture or two, I want to see what they get up to!
- You can have Hawkeye and/or Jager come to visit, and show either/both with any number of your own horses.
- Any type of piece is allowed; fullbody, headshot, whatever floats your boat, but at least one of my nordies and one of yours must be shown.
- I will judge on creativity of content (ie doing something on the playdate that's different and cool/scary/funny/etc) and accuracy to my character's personalities (ie not having them do anything they wouldn't do normally). Brownie points for including a story.
The Prizes
We all know you skipped here first, don't lie. Depending on how many enter, I will have up to three places.
First Place - Five or less entries
- 500

- Fullbody of your nordy (if more than one are drawn in your entry I will pick one of them)
+ Second Place - Six to ten entries
- 300

- Headshot of your nordy (if more than one are drawn in your entry I will pick one of them)
+ Third Place - More than ten entries
- 200

- Headshot of your nordy (if more than one are drawn in your entry I will pick one of them)
The Fine Print
Deadline is February 15th
Please comment here with your entries.
Asking questions is encouraged, especially to clarify my nordies' behavior in situations C: Better to ask than lose brownie points!
Keep in mind this is judged by effort in story, not effort in art. If you're not a writer, tell me a story with your picture, draw a comic, whatever it takes. If you're not an artist, doodle headshots and write me a masterpiece.
I can't wait to see what my boys get up to. Good luck!
The FAQ
I'll add in questions as they come.
Q. What if I don't have a nordanner?
A. You're still welcome to participate! No harm in it and you won't be judged differently x3
Q. What if I can't get my entry in in time. Will you extend the deadline?
A. Afraid not. You have over a month, if you're that interested in the event you should be able to complete at least a headshot in that time.
Q. Where can I find information about their personalities?
A. Aside from on their references, Hawkeye's story is neatly organized in this folder, starting at the top. A quick skim of that will give you a good idea of his personality.
You can find out a decent amount about Jager in these three paintings, and this collab.
That should give you a solid head start.
The Placements:
First Place!

I spent a while deliberating because honestly I was pretty impressed with the range of stories you guys came up with. I ended up liking this one the best because I was genuinely concerned for Bell by the end of the story D:
Since there were only five entries, that's the only placement that gets prizes, but for your credit systems the rest of you tied for second. Thank you for entering!
