Contest Brief

We require great art for the cartoon and characters detailed below. Additional research into their mythologies could only help:

When The Devil decided that it was time to bring about the destined apocalypse upon the earth, he took a sample of every man-made evil of the world and created four evil souls. He commanded his loyal servant to chisel powerful steeds worthy of these powerful spirits out of bark from the Tree of Eden. When the loyal servant couldn’t find the Tree of Eden, he made four colorful ponies out of construction paper. Thus, much to the chagrin of The Devil, The Apocalypse Girls were born. Now, the four evil sisters will spread chaos and discord throughout the world one elementary school at a time.

The Apocalypse Girls is a comedic animated series about the everyday lives of our titular characters. Our heroines attend school like "normal" children while attempting to bring chaos to the world though wacky schemes such as stealing all the chocolate milk or capturing Santa Claus. The Apocalypse Girls are based on their namesakes of Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death. Their colors, styles, personalities, and names are a mixture of the lore of the Four Horsemen and different dark figures from Greek mythology.

Kate is the Apocalypse Girl of Famine. Her name comes from Hecate, "She that operates from afar". In Greek mythology, Hecate was a goddess associated with witchcraft, crossroads, tombs, demons, and the underworld. She has black hair and eyes because the Horseman, Famine, rode on the black horse.

Kate can eat a lot and is good at economics and politics. She loves to win people's valuables or convince them to part with them even if it’s only a nice pencil or scrunchy. She is good at bartering and is very convincing, but she is easily manipulated by food and puts on weight quickly. She considers herself the leader of the group.

Erica is the Apocalypse Girl of War. Her name comes from Eris, the Greek goddess of strife that caused the Trojan War. She has red hair and eyes because the Horseman, War, rode on the red horse.

Erica can command animals, but the animals often turn on her. Erica loves combat sports like MMA and Football. She likes play sports and almost always accepts challenges even though she often loses.

Melanie is the Apocalypse Girl of Pestilence. Her name comes from Melinoe, the Greek Goddess of haunting spirits and phantoms who sent her spirits to men in order to cause fear and terror. She has white hair and eyes because the Horseman, Pestilence, rode on the white horse.

Melanie is the smart one of the group, and she has the ability to places curses. However, she is incredibly shy, and she does not like to bathe, brush her teeth, comb her hair, or otherwise take care of her hygiene. The others have to force her to do those things. She likes to curse people that bully her (or try to get her to bathe).

Tina is the Apocalypse Girl of Death. Her name comes from Libitina, the Roman goddess of funerals, corpses and death. Her hair and accessories are a combination of grey and green because the Horseman, Death, rode on the pale green horse.

Tina is the youngest, but strongest, of the sisters. She is mute and only communicates through gestures, grunts, and terrible drawings. Tina is lazy and sleeps a lot, but she will take on a monstrous, Cthulhu-like form when she is angered. She has a pocket dimension inside of her mouth in which she can absorb anything and spit it out later. People love to dote on her because she is small, cute, and passive. She often doesn’t pay much attention to what’s going on around her.

The images are basic examples of the chibi style I want. The pictures should match their personalities and mythology. Their designs have to assume that they can logically fit in at school. The picture of Raven from Teen Titans Go! is given as an example of Tina in her angry form. I require pictures of each girl and another picture of Cthulhu Tina.

A lot of fantastic entries have been coming in as we are about to close. The contest ends in about 2 hours (7:30 PM Eastern Time, UTC-4). I have discussed with my cohorts and have decided the following: $100 for the 1st pick winner, $40 for 2nd pick, and $20 each for 3rd - 5th pick. Please respond here if you do not find this acceptable in some way. After we pick our winners, I will create a new post asking everyone that did not win if they would be willing to donate their submissions to display on our website. Please respond to that post, then.

In order to select the winner, I am going to show my favorite entries to my colleagues and we will vote on the winner. The full $100 will go to the winner. After, I will reach out to our other favorite entries in order to acquire their art, but we have a limited budget for the non-winning entries, so I would appreciate it if you would be willing to donate the art after the contest. Even if I you are not willing to donate and we ran out of our art acquisition budget, I may still reach out to some of you in the future for more work.

After the contest, I may reach out to some people for their art to feature on the website. Even if the art doesn't make the cut to win the contest, interesting art is still useful.

  I like the art, but it is not quite in the style I need. This is aiming to be a nationally syndicated network cartoon, so I need a style that reflects that. Look at the shows, "Equestria Girls" and "Isekai Quartet", for good examples. Also, check out the other submissions.

Hello, are the 4 attached characters for style reference only or do we have to use those designs as base?

  They are a style reference, but they generally display the type of personality and color schemes I need.

There will be more work in the near future for my favorite artists at the end of this contest. I may actually hire more that one of you. I have a few more characters that will need art, a new logo, and some action shots. So this is also an opportunity for more work. There is still a lot of time left in this contest, though. One thing at a time.

  Your chibis mostly match the style. Just make sure that you read the description, check out the pictures for reference, and keep an eye on the chat for clarifications.

Keep in mind that the characters look human in order to fit in with their elementary school. They wear standard clothes or school uniforms and are humanoid. Also, keep in mind the chibi art style.
