T H E M E: Freedom.

I thought of this when I looked at the date. When the American Independence day started to roll around, I thought, why not make a contest about it? So, that's about the origin. But, the reason why I added Freedom was because some people aren't American and they may not want to do anything about Independence, so Freedom is also up there. <333

[ edit: I realized it seemed sorta weird with independence, so I changed it to freedom. And only freedom. Well, have fun <3 ]

_{( Please note: By Sketch, I mean that I'll literally draw the lines for your character. Except, it'll be different from line art because...it's more messy XDD For an Idea, go look at the sketch of Serin. The Difference will be that it'll be black on white or whatever color choice you choose. <333 )}
