The Challenge:
Using only vanilla meshes, create a new texture for a troll, giant, wolf, deer, fox, a rabbit, or any other creature that strikes your fancy to add a new spectrum of wildlife to Skyrim! Creatures can range from super cute to super horrifying, and anywhere in between. Show us your piece of the wilds!

The Rules:

• Entries must be COMPLETE and submitted to _echo (at TESA) by 11:59pm on September 11th, no later.
  
• If you want to participate you must sign up officially (See How to Enter Below)
  
• Your entry must contain at least two (2) daytime in game screenshots.
  
• Only one entry per challenger and that challenger must be a solo author of that entry, no teams.
  
• You may NOT use modders resources or any assets from any DLC.
  
• You cannot reveal any specifics about your entry to anyone, no screenshots, vids, or chat, nothing publicly posted.
  
• Using texture enhancers like ENB or photo manipulation techniques on screens will not increase your chance to win

How To Enter:
Any member of TESA may enter the challenge, even new members, with the exception of TESA staff. We also welcome members of the Official Forums and associate sites like Nexus and SKYRE, to join in the fun!
To enter, send a PM to "_echo" (at TESA) or Echonite (here), subject "Enter Contest" and let him know you are interested. You'll then be added to the official Challengers list in the official thread.

Judging:
On September 12th, TESA staff will judge the entries and award the high point members with special titles and medals for their achievements!

Prizes:
The prizes for this contest are special titles and medals awarded based on a point system with an overall high point winner, and few honorable mentions with special titles.

Additional Info:
All entries must be made by you, using vanilla assets. No DLC assets, and no modders resources. You are only allowed to pick one creature and have fun with the texture.
Please use the Official TESA thread for questions.

I want to see a vampire rabbit!

I've never done textures before, but I'll definitely be participating in the Halloween challenge. (I wonder if this is why Skyrim Real Estate hasn't started their own contest yet. They wanted to wait until this was out of the way...)

Shezrie and I have always made an effort to stagger our contests so they don't typically overlap.

Time is running out. Come on over all you texturers! I know you're out there.
