UPDATE: RESULTS! + suggestion for prizes. READ!

This is the official topic for the contest is holding on DeviantART!

.:: WINNERS ::.

I just couldn't help it...but for another time AGAIN, everyone has fought their way towards the first place and I just CAN'T declare anyone second or third!

So, yes, you guessed well, everyone has won a 1-year subscription! Or, like just suggested me, any other kind of subscription/item that costs roughly 20€. And like before, you can give away your prize to someone around you

But due to a very recent event (I had to get my car pulled off to the garage for a hopefully minor reason) the delivery of the prizes will occur by the 12 of April. Don't worry, it's not that far away

So, thank you again for your participation! I will comment each piece individually, doing my best to give you the most constructive critique

Description:

Jyan
Jyan Wallace Nashson JR., shortnamed Jyan, is a 6'6" tall anthromorphic bull orca. Though his frame can be impressive due to his unusual height and the round look he has because of his 110kgs, Jyan is a very kind person at heart. He's unable to smash a spider crawling on his arm without second thoughts, and generally prefers to pick it and place it back where it came from.
Jyan's weight is due to his love of cooking, not only for himself, but for others too: he is almost addicted to italian food, especially pasta, and cannot resist a steaming plate of spaghetti alla bolognese . Hopefully, Jyan is just overweight, but not excessively fat: he has a round, slightly jiggling belly, but he doesn't have manbreasts. You could say he has a round look, like someone to hug
Don't be fooled by the said round look: the bull has some muscle! Not a bodybuilder's musculature, but you could be surprised. Of course, a well-placed tackle and he's pinned on the floor, but make sure he won't pin you back... Hopefully, he won't use his force to hurt you. He won't bite...hard.
Jyan is very affectionate towards his friends, sometimes putting their needs and desires before his own on the todo-list. He doesn't fake his generosity, and won't have second thoughts or regrets, even if it puts himself in an uneasy situation. Sadly, he learned in his childhood that being nice to everyone, even those making fun out of you, can be a very weak spot, and turn him into a perfect target. He fought back, perhaps a little too late as it was his last year in comprehensive, but it had the desired effect: no one ever tried to abuse of him again. And life went on and on...
Now, Jyan has grown up into a loving and caring friend, never denying a hug to a friend or anyone in the street asking for one. Of course, he has learned who to trust and who not to trust, but he is far less picky than most people, not stopping at first look.
Despite his friendly attitude, our bull orca here doesn't share his life with his beloved mate yet: he's single! Some may guess that he had experienced a bad love in the past, or that he's "seeking for himself", but most of his friends know: Jyan is openly bisexual, and won't hide it, taking looks at both genders and smiling to winks and whistles, whoever they come from. Neither a lovemachine, nor a prude ol' guy, Jyan enjoys life as it comes, and doesn't want to rush things. He'll shyly admit he has love affairs with some special friends, having fun and cherishing every moment he spends with them.

Chance
Chance Nashson is Jyan's twin brother, born barely 2 minutes after his sibling. They share a lot of features: eyepatches, build, color of the eyes, so many details that even an advised watcher couldn't tell who's who. Well..if Chance didn't suffered from what may be called half-albinism.
Indeed, there's a very easy way to tell who's Chance: his color pattern is the exact opposite of his brother, meaning he has black where Jyan has white, and white where Jyan has black. It's due to a particular genetic mutation that simply reversed the synthesis of dermal pigments and making his skin the negative of Jyan's.
They share the same body build, though Chance is trying to lose some weight - that doesn't make him a skinny guy, you still can hold his cute lovehandles if you wanna get a hug It's also obvious to see when he's embarassed, the immaculate white of his temples turning a bright pink when he feels for something.
The pair has always been a team, both using their brains and muscles to work out their issues. They trust each other a lot, even if Chance can be a real goofy when he wants to: joking, playing, nagging, teasing, cheering, our bull sometimes behaves like a calf. But he knows when to be serious, and can display a lot of maturity.
His very friendly attitude of course brought him a lot of friends, but only a few know him close enough to earn his unconditional trust and love. And only a handful of people has resisted his charm, being the passionate lover he is. But that is another story...
