Hear ye, Hear ye! I am holding my first contest!!

Any sort of feature or advertisement of this contest is very much appreciated!

The theme is simple: Draw any of my characters (list with photos found on my page) and draw them in a seasonal theme. Winter, summer, spring, or fall. You can do this in any sort of media or way. (Pixeling, lineless, lined, traditional, digital, abstract, noodles, animations, anything is accepted!)
Rules (because we all need them)

Have fun!

Traditional OR digital art is accepted. Transparent or full background is preferred.

You may enter only twice into EACH category. (8 times overall)

Try to stick with the personality of the character. Most of my character's personalities are fairly simple, so it shouldn't be too hard. If you can't get a general idea from the art of them, you are free to comment here or note me to ask!

Be sure that the picture has a SEASONAL theme! You can pick ANY season for ANY character!

Past or present commissions from me do NOT count. You must make a new piece to submit.

No harassing any other entrants. You will be immediately disqualified and reported.

Have entries submitted to dA and linked to me BY the end date.
If 20 people enter, I will be adding a small amount of cash (via Paypal) to the grand prize!
If you don't have Paypal, you will have the option to receive the cash equivalent of points. (1$=80 points)

I can change rules as I please

ENTRY DEADLINE IS NOVEMBER 15th. NO EXCEPTIONS

(Unless the date is changed obviously)

So, this contest will have 4 categories.

Summer

Each category will have 1 winner, and one winner overall. (So 5 winners)

Bowie: A Fennec Fox. He is rather quiet and docile, but he still enjoys playing with his friends. He is often found watching the sky, sleeping under an oak tree, or running around with any number of companions. For some odd reason, when he finds a pair of purple underpants, he will sometimes put them on his left ear and continue his life normally. No one is really sure why...
