first i would like to say thanks to everyone who participated! every single one of you did AMAZINGLY!! i've never hosted one of these before so it was definitely... interesting. but very fun.
For rewards, i can draw humans, humanoids, and furries, but i definitely prefer four-legged monster, dragon, or other fantasy oc's.

now on to the contest results!!
after much consideration, i have decided that
third place goes to.....
