Hello everyone! We will be holding an Pet Trait Design contest for the 2021 Winter Festival! Please make sure to read the rules carefully!


Rules

1. Design a pet gene or mutation for only the following species: Aurleon, Draeyl, Ferrikki, Griffi, Kelpari, Luffox, Lunemara, Lupora, Morkko, Nephini, Ny'vene, Nytekrie, Puffadore, Qitari, Sylvorpa, Vulnyx, Zolnixi. 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, so it is not necessary to make it Winter themed.

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 November 3rd, 2021 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 a 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 as well a [Peerless Avatar Token]. Everyone that participates will also receive a participation prize that will include various Festival Supplies.

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.

Resubmitting this one in case I don't get time to make something new:

Floating Fish
Similar to the Lovely Hearts and Lucky Dust traits.


Resubmitting this one:

Rose Headdress

Chinese New Year/Zodiac Year of the Tiger Kelpi Concept:

resubmitting designs I've previously made
Roman Qitari


M1 would be a roman style Armor/Harness
M2 would be a short cut mane (like how most war horses manes are cut)
G2 would be the mark of the Roman legion - SPQR (the Roman legion use to brand everything with this mark, and I mean everything even the men)
Sea Creature Zolnixi


M1 would be a fishtail(I'm sure this could be drawn better than what I did, especially since even my drawing isn't what I had originally envisioned)
M2 would be scales(like fish scales) an alternative to this would be rainbow scales
M3 would be fins
possible gens could be fish themed patterns

A Qitari Design, the mane, tail and leg poofs inspired by Vanner horses and the ribbons/scarfs are sort of a Dancer outfit for them.

Please pardon my sad paint skills. I'll note how it SHOULD look below.
entry: Surf Vulnyx
A)Two tone wave curl mane & leg tufts
B)Two tone tsunami tail with foamy tip(s) {based on Frosted Kitsune tail}
C)SeaCreature Head Crest {based on Kelpari (adolescent) ears}
D) Catfish whiskers {aka Dragon whiskers}
E)Tribal Markings OR Sea Foam (fur pattern) not shown due to sad paint skills
F) Seashell necklace/armor- not shown due to sad paint skills
I hope y'all like the idea!

Please forgive the mess, I can't draw worth beans. Hopefully they're enough to get across the idea of the concept. Also, sorry I don't know how to make these smaller.

Aurl winter cloak/shroud M2 - maybe have two different designs/versions like a striped and a spotted version with the colors coming from M2 and EC (or either AC) Similar to the way there are two types of quit armor and two types of drae moth wings.


Lune Spectral Wings (like the ones for nephinis)
I wanted more wings that were pretty that actually showed the pattern from G3.


Kelp betta fins


Mork with celtic design G1 covering the front half of the body, and G2 covering the back half like lighs G1/G2
(I seriously can't draw, so don't use designs like these. Was trying for a celtic knot thing-y.)
(Also, hoping to avoid overlapping like G1 and G2 currently do)
