ENDS IN 3 DAYS!! GET THE ENTRIES IN!

Welcome to the Everlasting Warmth Contest!

This contest is to kick off the production of my comic, Everlasting Warmth!

The comic has just been started and is being produced page by page by: Yours Truely
The story is a Fantasy Based- Modern Era storyline, with guns, explosions, magic, violence, romance, sex, drugs, love and hate, staring a human and a mixed blood, high roller "Gnat" (super natural being)

"In a Fantastical modern era, where the supernatural co-exist with humans, hot headed, former employee of the hit-man group known as "Drop Association", Tekeshi Chiyo Kibou  finds himself in a hopeless situation while on a mission for an unknown consultant, and is welcomed warmly into the home of a mysterious and charismatic billionaire, Sephtis Vasuman.
Having no choice but to accept Sephtis' offer and welcome, Tekeshi learns how to live a somewhat normal life.
They grow to become competitive rivals, and a bond is formed between the two, but trust is still strained, as Sephtis is abnormally secretive, and Tekeshi can't help but get curious and investigate his host..."

It is a BL story but will contain something for everyone, but it is definitely 18+

What to do and what-not....

I need a new design for a few characters.
a Silver (timber wolf colored) Lycan (will require a picture of both the human and half-wolf forms)
2 Vampires (one male whom is a goofball and young looking, maybe around 13 or 14 --- one female who looks 13-14 and is very sadistic)
3 ranch hands (you can pick what you want the character to be. these are all minor background characters)
and a Mob boss (major character! He should have a scar across one side of his face somewhere. He is dangerous and holds a grudge against the main character)

Your job will be to design one!
When it comes to the ranch hands and the Mob boss, you can make then WHATEVER you want, as long as it is a species/race that can be googled as part of some culture's myth and legends, (aka nothing made by you or someone else. No Nekois, no Griddicks, no MLP Humanoids, ect.)
EXCEPT:

• gods or demi-gods
• vampires
• dragon related beings
• no super, all powerful beings
• no copy-righted races (aka NO SAYANS!!!)
• NO ELVES
