And finally…THE CONTEST
You are going to be drawing angels, specifically angels from the stories that I write. These are not ordinary angels. These angels are the pets of the Demi-gods. As such, they are very different in how they look:

1. Angels are petite with hips that are wider than their shoulders. They walk on all fours (usually) unless they are acting as messengers to the humans…then they float.
2. Angels do not have a male form. They are only agender or female. They are only female when they wish to lay eggs. They usually lay between one and three eggs but they do not incubate them. That is a job for only the Nanny Angels.
3. Their wings MUST look like an actual birds wings. That can be a male bird or female bird of ANY species (including flightless birds). The Nanny Angels are all penguins of various species. Their wingspan is approximately 1.25 times their height (I will not be measuring…)
4. Their eyes are the same colour as the bird they represent. This means that some are night-dwelling and others are only seen in the day. As you do not need to draw any backgrounds, this is just additional information to give you a feel for them.
5. Their skin colour is the same as humans - that means they have the same range of skin types and skin colours. Their hair colour is determined by the colour of their WINGS not the colour of their skin. It can be the same as the whole wing, partial wing, one colour from the pattern or every colour in their wings.
6. They have an extra joint in their foot between the Cuneiform bone and the Metatarsal bones. They also have an elongated Calcaneus bone that turns into a claw.
7. They only wear clothes when they appear to humans and then they only wear a white or black toga type dress. This is for propriety not for comfort. They prefer to remain naked. If they are wearing white, they are giving humans good news. If they are wearing black, they are giving humans bad news.

Thank you for your interest and Happy Drawing!

Sounds interesting! Why did I found this contest only today...  
But I'm a bit confused... Do they look exactly like humans or more like birds? Or do they look like some mix? The first thing I thought about was this character from X-men: images6.fanpop.com/image/photo… . I mean, it sounds like they're just humanoids with wide hips, extra joints and wings, yet there's information about Nanny Angels that are penguins ._. 
I'll give it a try! :3
