Designing contest! Turn an animal into a human!

Deadline (may change): 16th June - or maybe before if there are enough entries (in such case I will throw a post). Important, due to two bad experiences before, I refuse to finish a contest before I get 10 entrants.

Let's go straight to the point as this will be a short contest.
I am just really hoping it's not as my last contest that I had to extend 3 months and I only got enough entrants to give one big prize on one category out of 5 OTL

Rules:
-No art theft
(Means no recoloring official artworks or such from anime/game etc. the drawing must be yours...the max I accept is you drawing over a free to use dA human base giving credit, but still original art is better)
-Traditional, digital (drawn or pixel art) is allowed! Sketches, linearts, flat colors, shaded...all accepted. All of those may be colored or not, but it's better if colored (I'd rather have a kinda clean sketch with messy colors out of the lines than a lineart without)
-You accept I will use the human design as part of the character I have and on a story.
-I maaaay edit slightly the design you do, but I am going to try to go for no editing at all (if editing, I'd ask you before)
-No art theft
-Fun? Say yes below please! <3
-Remember this is a designing contest NOT art skills! A good design in medium skills is better than a poor/bad design on real good skills ^^;
-Try to make the design as clear as possible :3

This time the prize is!
For the best design overall;

OR


Holding a LUGIA VOUCHER or a DARK ORB (this one if I really like the design!)
You pick the shiny!

There will be also a Lugia voucher prize for the best drawn piece - but that's aside. The main big prize is the shiny+summon, which is going for the design quality NOT the art quality!

Finally another Lugia voucher will be raffled among the people who enter a design! (except the big winner and best drawn piece winner)

Aaand I will give at random between the people who enter the following Vivillon (vivillon rule);
Tundra
Tundra
Modern
Sun
Ocean
Ocean
River
Jungle
Continental

Okay but what do I have to design?!

-> A HUMAN character based/referenced on my animal OC! Basically the animal as human, no anthros please. The maximum I accept to see on the human is the tail and ears (small).

-> The OC to be humanified is this baby (Still not sure if to call him Yuuryoku or Shugonin - if there's any native Japanese heroe here, please PM me!) - another doodle and random sketches.

Also other small drawings done by krystal fang, portal caline aaand Rabou :3 - You better take colors from Rabou's drawing, I think they are the most accurate.

-> The human must go according to the animal's design (colors mainly, like, don't design it using red pink and white lol) and the personality/story, which you can read here;
-----Shu/Yuu is a MALE (yep male fox, male human), curious, wise, calm, wandering traveler and historian, he and his story is set on ancient/traditional Japan, involving mythology (demons and gods mainly). It actually has a katana/thin sword on it's back, hold by the lace-rope of the neck (meaning it is highly recommended it has the sword).
He barely opens his eyes as he guides himself by smell and hearing mostly, and if he opens them it is because the situation is serious/dangerous or he is mad somehow. As said though he is rather calm and avoids fights. Despite so, he's a real strong fighter using the sword (he holds it with his mouth or -rarely- makes it float). He can also transform into a normal sized canine (Rabou's doodle :3)

-----Basically the musts: MALE human, not anthro, following it's personality and colors.
-----The highly recommended: having its sword and lace-rope, his eyes closed (you can draw him with eyes closed and on one side a single eye of him opened)
-----The "I'd rather not": have it furry/with ears/tail - but you can try if you think it fits
-----The "may work good": he'd probably want to be comfortable to travel.

I have however, no set idea for the clothing nor hair (hair can be long, short, straight, kinda spiky, messy, whatever. But black/blue or both, guess probably black).

Have fun :b

Oh yep the form!

Edit!
A wild thing that actually explain the design appears!

Luna, then alright but just PM as you said please :b I'd rather keep this with entries for contest itself.

Alrighty Luca ^^ thanks! Don't let Sassia make you more addict to MH (?) also not coloring all is pretty much alright with me as long as the main colors are added to a main drawing ^^

Alright, lunalonewolf, I asked on the tumblr you gave me of your...friend? And this was the reply

"I’m sorry… I don’t quite remember helping anybody with an entry for any contest, sorry >3"

I feel like you are not following the rules, for some reason, and in such case I can't accept you :\

On another hand, Luca, thanks for that extra one, I didn't see it until now ^^;
