So, this contest has been around FOREVER and has just gotten its third entry. But it IS still open, so you should all enter.

Create a reference sheet for a character whose design is based on a specific color scheme--complementary, split complementary, triatic, or square. The character may be any species, but it must use only the colors from the selected scheme, and it must use all of the colors! Different tints, shades, and intensities of each color are allowed.

(This color wheel [link] by ~thomasdian is very useful for finding color schemes. To find a "split complementary" scheme, select the "analogous with contrast" and remove the middle color from the three analogous colors. The triatic and square schemes are the three and four color contrasts, respectively. Also see this color theory tutorial [link] by ~MaskedMarvel.)

First prize: colored piece with gradient shading (example: [link])
Second prize: colored piece with two-color shading (example: [link])
Third prize: flat colored piece (example: [link])

*I realize the last two pieces aren't as detailed or... good as the first prize example, but the actual prizes will be, I promise!
