I've got myself in a little bit of a spot right now where I have a lot of expenses coming up this month & next but am crazy busy so don't have a lot of time to create and work on things myself -- so surprise MYO event! Yay!!  It was probably about time I hosted another one of these anyway, though. :))

This event is gonna be a little different than usual and there's no need to rush!  So please make sure to properly read through everything! o/


MAKE-YOUR-OWN BLAKRYE or SPHAERRA

How it works:
There are no slots this time; instead there is a two week open period (1st-14th) where you can create as many MYOs as you would like so long as you turn them in before the cut-off date.
There will be two designated approval dates, the 7th and 14th - on these days I will be dedicating my time to going through turn-ins and approving MYOs.  You may turn in your MYOs on any day up through the 14th, just I will only be doing approvals on these designated days.
In the meantime, Elissinia will be assisting me with this event - primarily keeping tabs on the day-to-day needs such as answering any questions or responding where needed while I'm busy with my other projects.  She will be going through all PMs and sorting them into questions, approvals, etc for me.  So if you see your PM opened but don't get a reply, this is why!  Although she may screen submissions, all final approvals will be done by me.
The 15th-21st will be a buffer week; any edits I require for approval must be finished and all MYOs paid for by the end of this week.  After the 21st failure to finish editing or paying for your MYOs will void your submissions.


The Rules:

- By participating in this event, you agree to abide by my standard adopt ToS.
- Please ONLY PM THIS ACCOUNT for MYO approvals.  I prefer questions are directed to this account, as well, please!
- When you have your MYO(s) ready for approval, please send them via PM along with the form below filled out.  If you are doing multiple MYOs, please try to send them all at once/together -- this will make approvals much easier and faster for me! ;v;/
- Payment will only be requested after your designs have been approved.  
- MYOs are only official and available for you to use AFTER payment has been completed.
- All MYOs MUST be turned in by 11:59 PM Pacific on the 14th - as soon as that clock hits the 15th the event will be over and I will no longer be accepting MYO submissions.
- Any edits required for approval as well as payments need to be completed by the 21st.
- Once your design has been paid for, it will be final - meaning you may not redo/redesign your MYO.  Edits are fine, but I may be a bit strict and it must stay recognizable to the approved design.  After approved/paid, trait editing will be subject to my standard ToS rules -- meaning you may lower trait rarities within the same category (eg, pygmy to regular) but you may not increase them (eg, pygmy to feral) or swap them between different categories (eg, pygmy swapped to tinted). So please make sure you are satisfied with your design before sending it in for approval.

I’m not sure if i should pm you or not, but i got hit with a massive bill because my cars steering crapped out, so i won’t be able to pay for the blak i already submited for aproaval. So my question is can i resubmit the blak i already created at the next myo event and then pay for them then? 


Actually disregard, my friend offered to pay for my slot.

this may be a weird question but can blakrye have colored/black sclera?   (typically referred to as the whites of the eyes, if that makes it clearer;)

This should be fine!  The rule against lighter colors is only to avoid any possible mix-up with white, which I shouldn't be a problem with this shade! o/

I do have a question about markings. I noticed that some Blakryes have rune patterns on their skin while others had other simple patterns. In terms of the common/uncommon traits, are there specific ones that are meant to be seen? It's probably explained somewhere but I haven't been able to find any info it myself and just wanted a small clarification as I design mine ;w; thank you!

Yep that answers my question, thank you so much!! >u<

I hope I didn't overlook something, but I wanted to ask if we can change the hair style/length if we, f.e. after a few months, don't think the hair style fits the character anymore ? As long as it doesn't affect any traits?

Ah okay, thank you !

I have a few questions!

For a Blakrye, what is the lightest colour range we're allowed to use for prism? I know we can't use full blown pastels for the hair/lightning of MYOs, but outside of that I'm not sure what's acceptable... I like the mid range tones on the sheet a lot, but would that eat up the free uncommon trait? I'm totally cool with that if it does, I just wouldn't mind knowing for future reference! Also, does the "no pastels" rule apply to the body colours and markings at all, or is it only for the hair and lightning? Annnd last thing.. Do they have to have rune markings somewhere on their body, or is this something optional? I've just noticed that a LOT of them have runes, so I wanna be sure on that as well before I get too carried away with any design themes or ideas!

I'msorryforsomanyquestions;lkfsa xvx;;

Pastels themselves are fine, just not very light pastels -- the point is that they can't be too close to white to be mistaken for it.
For example, here's a pastel color board I found: http://lascarid.es/img/projects/ssp/pastel.png - basically all of these colors would be okay to use except the row on the bottom.
Furthermore, the color section of the trait sheet is more like a sub-category put there for lore purposes and I don't actually use it when representing trait rarities - so you can use any colors you want for prism blakryes (so long as the color isn't too light and easily mistaken for white) without it counting as any other trait besides prism.  Meaning no, it would not take up your free uncommon trait. o/
Blakrye bodies can be any color; the color rules only apply to the hair and lightning!
Also runes are completely optional -- in their lore, runes = how much magical ability they have.  So having no runes would mean they're magically stunted, while having many would mean they've very powerful, but all lore is optional so if you don't want to follow that you're totally free to ignore it.

Hopefully that clears everything up, if you have any further questions or need further clarification don't hesitate to ask! o/

That actually summed everything up perfectly! I really look forward to working on my design - thank you so much!! ;7;/♥

question, can the second color for the hair be white if it follows the less than 50% rule? (more than 50% on the black)
