It's finally here! My first Contest! [Update!!!]

This contest is first and foremost, my FIRST contest. This is for me to begin and test out the waters in making a contest. Secondly, it is to give me some contest experience before making an even bigger contest for my group PokePlushing .Lastly, and pretty importantly, it is a tribute to my dear persona, fursona, and OC's Tufty and Pakajuna.
This contest will feature specifically on my OC's Tufty and Pakajuna.
You DO NOT have to have both incorporated into the picture to win, but it may help.
This is open to ALL mediums: This includes: digital, traditional, writing, textile, paper crafts (I LOVE paper children), and ANY other reasonable medium you can think of.
I want this to be PG-13 rated. Tufty IS an adult, roughly 20 years old, and does have a sexy side, so moderate maturity level is allowed, however, nothing really explicit.No gore or anything gross.
Pokemon may be incorporated and is smiled upon. However, Pakajuna SHOULD NOT be in a Pokemon themed picture! I have yet to design a Pokemon trainer form of Tufty and I really want a good one designed. Her main and favorite Pokemon is Emolga, followed by Pikachu, Shinx (or it's evolutions) and Jolteon. Her official team is Emolga, Charizard, Luxray, Jolteon, Tyranitar, and Lapras) Luxray can be shown as any of the evolutions in the official team as well as Charizard may be represented as Charmander, and Tyranitar as Larvitar. Please keep stages together and do not use Pupitar at all, it is not favored.)
Some VERY important parts about Tufty, is that her star hoodie MUST be used! It is her most prized possession! Also, her normal form is a demonic vampire, she does have a human form, without horns.



Tufty:

HER EYES ARE YELLOW NOW! NOT GREEN!
Species: Vampiric Demon
Age: 19-20
Sign: Aries (thus her horns)
Horns: They are Aries horns. (Ram horns)
Favorite Colour: Yellow

Tufty also has many forms:
Original: (as shown) Demon
Human form: basically no horns, often wearing normal human clothes
Anthro: Human but with cat ears and Pakajuna tail
Lion: Pakajuna is her lion form.
Nobody:Xaura. (yes, Nobody as in Kingdom Hearts.) Xaura really doesn't have a drawn human form yet, the best example would be this-->pakajunatufty.deviantart.com/a…

Important!: Her favorite object in the world is her "star hoodie". It glows in the dark and she ALWAYS has it on her, it can be on her, or wrapped around her waist.
Also! The crosses on her clothes and necklace are INVERTED! DO NOT make them crosses, she HATES crosses, they MUST be inverted.

Her hair IS semi-long. It is "scene-ish". Thin parts that go down just to the breast. And fluffy, and layered at the top. She DOES NOT have short hair, that ends at or above her shoulders!(that part is her fluffy layers)

Lastly, if you're going to put an outline on her like if she is transparent. Always make it the yellow colour in the reff's outline.

Pakajuna:

Species:Lion
Age:Young adult, same as Tufty
Personality:Fun loving, likes to play. She can be very protective though, get her in the right situation and she WILL KILL for her loved ones.
Nobody:Xaura (Lion form)--->fanart.lionking.org/Artists/Pa…
Info about Xaura and Pakajuna/Tufty's relationship:Xaura is Tufty/Pakajuna's "Nobody". She has more of an evil, kill all side. She is known to cause misery in the lives of her "Somebodies" but loves them more than life itself. Only she is allowed to mess with Tufty/Pakajuna, and watch out whoever hurts them. She can have a soft spot for Tufty/Pakajuna. This is well represented here--->fav.me/d3ce3f7
Eyes:Green, unlike Tufty, who's eyes USED to be green, but are now yellow. Pakajuna's eyes have remained green.

Important! Pakajuna's Tail is Wolf//Ferret-like. It is very very long and fluffy. Her tail should be roughly the same length as her body maybe even a bit longer.

***Rules about Textile prizes and Drawn prizes from me, PakajunaTufty
For 1st place prize. You may get ONE fleece hat or plushie, shipped to you free. You have a $25 limit on this. This means, most my hats fall under this price, and my smaller plushies fall under or close to this price. You may also, use this as a $25 "coupon" toward a more expensive plushie of mine!(Example: My Large Umbreon plushie costs $60, you can get it for only $35!) Also, shipping costs may NOT exceed $7, any more and you will be responsible for paying the extra. ($7 WILL cover anything $25 or less shipped, so yes, according to the rules it is free shipped.)
You cannot exchange this for cash. The only exchange rule is as a "coupon" rule as mentioned above.
For 2nd place prize. You may get ONE fleece hat, shipped to you free. You have a $15 limit. This is one of my most simple fleece hats. Again, like in 1st place prize, you may use this towards a more expensive hat.
Drawn prizes from me, PakajunaTufty. These are all chibi, and what is listed in each prize. I will do your OC. No: Fan-art, mecha, gore, porn, canines, animals other than cats and lions, Men without shirts.

And as always! Still looking for those willing to contribute to MORE prizes! Let me know if you can! Thank you all!
