November OC Challenge!!
EDIT: I’ve updated it because I typed something in wrong but if you’ve already started making your oc then don’t worry about the change :)
Hello! Thank you for being interested in my challenge! I made (another) OC challenge based on what you love about this month, November this time :) (planning to do one every month hehe)
It will end on December first (but if you need more time you can message me and we can most likely work something out! :D), and although this challenge is mostly for fun I will include a little prize. If at least five people join, I will pick one winner to receive a headshot drawing of a character of their choice (I will not draw nsfw or large amounts of gore). If at least ten people join, the prize will be a waist-up drawing. If at least twenty people join, it will be a full body - although I’ll be pleasantly surprised if I get at least five people who enter.
Rules:
Please no nsfw or extreme gore, I have a filter on because I don’t want to see that stuff, and I’d really like to see what you create!
Here is the details on how to make you character (please read and follow all the directions, following the directions is part of the rules to qualify - and I know it looks long but I swear it doesn’t take as long to read as it looks like it will lol):

BONUS CHALLENGE
(you do not have to do this to be considered as following the challenge rules it’s just a bonus; and this is not an alternative to the above question)
Incorporate one thing you are grateful for into the design of your OC (on your oc itself, or on the clothes for example). It does not have to be one of the above options; for example if you are grateful for sunsets out a sunset on the shirt or as a tattoo or something :)

NO: introverted
MORE:
Do you celebrate Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)?
YES: Add “sugar skull” makeup (doesn’t have to be the full skull makeup, could be just some elements of the makeup, or if you want you can add normal makeup like eyeshadow lipstick etc as an alternative)
Turkey or ham?
TURKEY: add freckles
HAM: add a bag (backpack purse etc)
NEITHER: add jewelry/piercings
BOTH: add some sort of skin marking (tattoo, scar, birthmark, etc)
