Hello everyone! We will be holding design contests for some upcoming special Lost Grove Restricted Traits! Please note, these are not intended to be full Restricted Trait Sets. However, it is acceptable if there are some that are multiple Trait Slots. I would prefer that submissions do not exceed 2 Trait Slots per Species unless absolutely necessary.

For example, you can submit maybe a special Glowy/Ancient Rune Gene for Ferrikki. Maybe this Gene would fill both G1 and G2 slots so you submit it as 2 Traits. That is totally fine. Another example would maybe be armor of some type that has to be spread over M1/M2/M3 because of how the slots are divided up. That also would be fine.

While it would be great if we could do full Restricted Trait Sets for all 22 species, it just is outside of our realistic capabilities for this project.


Rules

1. Design a pet gene or mutation for Any Species. After you are done designing your trait, come back to this thread and post the image in this thread. To get a blank pet image just go to the generator page and take the image from there. You can resize the image to the maximum size via the image url, the maximum size is 500.

2. You must draw the trait on the pet. If you feel that your drawing skills aren't great, then along with your drawing you can include a description to better help us envision your mutation. If you are unable to draw something, then I am sorry, there will be no exceptions.

3. You are allowed to be free with your creative process. However, you should try to make it somewhat tie into a Lost Grove Theme. As a reminder, Section 2 of the Lost Grove will be of a spooky Cave/Cavern system.

4. Please do not reserve posts. If you reserve a post I will delete your post.

5. Please do not Ping me with your submission. Please only Ping me if you have a question.

6. Before submitting your entry please make sure to scan the thread to see if someone else has done something similar. Try to make your entry unique and if someone has already done something that you were wanting to do...then I highly suggest you pick something different. If you feel someone has "copied" your design, do not say anything to that person - especially in this thread.

7. You may only submit ONE official entry for each species on the list. If you wish to submit more then you can send me a PM with drawings of your trait idea. However all PMed entries that are sent to me will not count for prizes. To clarify, an entry can encompass multiple Trait Slots. As an example, say your entry is a Butterfly set for a certain species. Your entry can include Butterfly Wings, Butterfly Antennae, Butterfly Armor, etc. Species are all different with their Trait Slots so we're looking more at design ideas and not strictly Trait Slot submissions.

8. The end date is January 23rd at 11:59 PM server, after that there is no guarantee that we will see your entry and the thread will be locked once designs are picked.


Note

I am very aware that it's typical to use google to search for ideas when designing things. However, it is extremely important that if someone happens to be referencing another person's artwork, it should not be possible to google it and find exactly what was used as reference. Please make sure to change it enough and be creative enough that you're making it your own design. This is extremely important not just for ethical reasons but also for legal reasons when we're implementing something onto our site. Thank you! =)

Prizes

All entries that are picked will have the trait created and the designers will receive a Mystical Essence of their choice. Everyone that participates will also receive a participation prize of some Lost Grove goodies.

Don't comment on someone's entry unless you have something nice to say. If someone copies your entry then have faith in us that we will determine the correct winner. Please do not fight over entries, if I see anyone doing this in the thread then whoever is fighting will be disqualified.

I'm thinking about submitting my Spider trait set for Lunemara that I entered in previous pet trait contests (since you mentioned an LG section having a spooky cave/cavern).
Would I be allowed to enter it as a restricted trait entry, or do only 100% new entries count?

Oh, this sounds so interesting! I think I just might have to do this. ^.^

I think our response usually to this question is that while we prefer new entries to be submitted, you can use something that you have submitted before.

Bighorn sheep (ram) horns for Faelora, either a M2 or M3 trait.
I couldnt figure out how to draw both horns.




Theyre basically just the mutation for Ferrikkis but badly drawn on a Faelora.

(I've never used an image from imgur, but it looks fine on the 'Preview Post' thing)

Hunter's Antlers
basically elk or caribou antlers but on a Lupora

I'm gonna be ambitious and try to do a ton >:D

Cave Swallow Aurleon Genes! Not really sure what color the red would be, maybe the eyecolor, or the accent color?


Parasitic Fungi, Bulbori Mutation 3 design! The gene color would be either gene 3 or 2, probably (Could also be anything else lol)

I really like your Lup horns! They look really nice and nicely shaded as well!
