Nothing too special. It's based off the Mouse King from "The Nutcracker"



Held: Just a basic knife. Nothing too special about it

Outfit: Just a simple royal garb with mouse fuzz at the hands, neck, feet ect. The cape is part of the outfit.

Head: A basic hairstyle but with an ice crown and little mouse ears attached

Back: A mouse tail because why not?

The Winter Fest Avatar entries are already upon us! Man, how time flies~ Be warned, I drew this in MS Paint with a mouse, so sadly, the art will not be the greatest. I will do my best to describe what I am envisioning~

My entry is the Dragon Outfit. Some people may be wondering why I'd enter a dragon outfit when we already have some. To be honest, while we do have a few, none are an outfit that make you fully look like a dragon. Ever since we got the Lion and Yeti outfit, I've really wanted a dragon outfit that covers everything, even your face, so your avatar truly looks like a dragon from top to bottom!(all dragon, no human avatar showing) :D

First up is all the lining I drew, that way you can see the base.


I would have liked to make the head a little slimmer, but I have to go with the proportions of the avatar base. Also, I drew this over the female avatar base, then erased all the base avatar lines. I won't be drawing the outfit on the male base as it will be exactly the same, just the positioning of the feet will be a little different. And I am aware that one arm is beefier than the other. Go mouse drawing skills! XD


Here is a fully coloured version, done up as a Nebula Dragon! :D

Some stuff to explain first.
The dots of blue and purple on the outfit are supposed to be stars. I just lack a proper tool for that in MS Paint. The pink stuff spray painted on the wings of the avatar and baby dragon is supposed to be the Nebula effect, but I don't have the proper tools to make it look better ^^u The pink and blue stuff coming off of the back and tail of the outfit and baby dragon would look similar to Essence of Fire on the Ny'vene. It is essentially supposed to be cosmic energy. There should be scales, I just can't draw them well in paint, so I opted not to draw them.

Outfit Name: Dragon Outfit
The idea here is for a full body dragon outfit that shows nothing of the human avatar. That way we can all run around as awesome dragons! :D After doing the lining, I did up a full colour version as a Nebula Dragon(I desire this design the most). I thought that other types could be a fire dragon, water dragon, etc. Possibly one for each element of the Gods of Sylestia?

Avatar Outfit: Dragon Body:
This would be the body of a dragon. It would have scales, sharp claws on the hands and feet, etc. In the example of the Nebula Dragon I drew, the body is dark like the night sky with stars all over it. Down the belly and underside of the tail is a fiery like cosmic energy with stars in it.

Avatar Wings: Dragon Wings
My avatar outfit has dragon wings, traditional Western Dragon wings. Feel free to make them fancier. I could only make standard ones in MS Paint. ^^u In my example, these wings have Nebulas on them.

Avatar Back Item: Dragon Tail
The back item is a dragon tail. In my example, it has a fiery cosmic energy design on the underside with stars all over it, and it has fiery cosmic energy coming out of the top of it.

Avatar Held Item: Baby Dragon
The avatar held item is a baby dragon designed to look like the outfit the avatar is wearing(basically, you are the parent). Something I would love is that the hand of the avatar remain the clawed dragon hand, even when you have the held item. Often I find they end up being bare(much like the Yeti), if you opt for the animal held(or any for that matter), and the only way to have the clawed hand is to have it as a separate held item.

Avatar Head Item: Dragon Head
The avatar head item is a Dragon head. It completely covers the head of your avatar. In my example, the head of the Nebula Dragon had fiery cosmic energy coming out of it.


I look forward to seeing what everyone else designs~

Cozy Sylesti Onesies!
This idea just randomly came to me when I was getting ready for bed one night. Theres nothing better than getting into comfy pajamas after a long day, especially in the winter when its colder.
As nyvenes are my favorite species, they are the ones I chose to model for this. Different onesies could have different traits/mutations.

Male base:


Female base Pending

Held: Snuggly Nyvene toy


Outfit: Cozy Nyvene Onesie


Head: Cozy Nyvene hood


Wings: Cozy Nyvene wings


Back: Cozy Nyvene tail



I also think there should be onesies for vorkids and all of the sylesti species. For the Vorkid/Myconid outfits, I think there should also be different colored ones depending on the kind of myconid. For instance, there could be a myconid adept one, a myconid king one, and so and so forth.
For the sylesti species there should be different genes and maybe mutations? Since Im limited to only one outfit I just went with the myconid because Im most excited about it ^^

Alternate outfit (nyvene edition)

I noticed there are only like 3 Asian inspired outfits and they're quite popular so I wanted to add to that! Japanese historical clothing is an interest of mine so that's what I went with~ This item set is inspired by old Japanese paintings of people in winter landscapes and Japanese mythology (referencing a tengu and yuki-onna).
(The program I use (firealpaca) has patterns used on Japanese fabrics preinstalled so I used those, but I just wanted to say that if this gets picked I'd really prefer it if the artists use actual Japanese patterns too and not just fantasy/made up ones ^^" Of course not everything has to be ~historically correct~ but Asian culture gets misinterpreted and appropriated so often, I'd like some dedication to accuracy :> There are a ton of patterns to choose from so it shouldn't hold any creativity back!)

Everything together:


Outfit: Cozy multi layered kimono (with eclectic, matching patterns and colors)


Background: Traditional home and winter garden


Head: Tengu mask or Headscarf (which was used to stay warm during winters (I also thought a headscarf item could be nice to have for Muslim users on sylestia? idk))


Wings: Snow-covered Tengu wings (these have crow colors, the one above sparrow colors)


Held: Frost-bitten katana or Decorated cup of tea


Back: Yuki-onna (a yokai, who is blowing frost at the avatar)

Okay, this is my winter avatar!:

So my idea had multiple ways of showing it (sylesti/monster onesies), could I post 2 different onesies or just the one myconid?

If you want to post like different variations of the same submission, that's fine. For example, a horned head item where one variation has short horns, one variation has long horns - or short hair vs long hair, etc.

But it can't be multiple submissions as we generally just want players restricted to one submission per design contest.

So I edited it with the other variation, is that allowed or should I delete one of them?
