Apologies for posting this so late!  I intended to get this up much earlier today but I got online a bit later than expected and was trying to get a couple of other things sorted first and... delays happened.  So I'm tacking another day than originally planned to compensate for today's late start!
Also I'm sorry I don't have a base for you guys to use again this time, I REALLY wanted to provide one but I've just been too swamped to find time for it.  One of these rounds it'll happen, I swear! /__\

This event is the same as last time, meaning you have two weeks to do stuff.  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 (16th-1st) 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 24th and 1st - 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 1st, 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 2nd-9th 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 9th 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 1st - as soon as that clock hits the 2nd 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 9th.
- 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.

Comments


Does the Prism color have to match 1:1 with lightning and hair? Or can the hair be, say, a darker shade of purple than the lightning? 

For MYOs, the current and hair should match completely, yes.  The aura around the lightning can be any color, though!

Are we allowed to freely change between drawing a blakrye as a normal rye and a kemonomimi, or does it have to be strictly one or the other? Also, what's the reason behind the restriction with feral rye kemonomimis? :0

As for your first question, yes, you can freely change between! The hair color, ears, tail, and currents must stay the same between forms. Any markings you translate onto the skin must be similar/reminiscent of the anthro form's markings. 

As for the restriction on feral blakryens, the reasoning is that it doesn't work. With pygmies you can denote it in the kemonomimi form due to the size of the ears and the smaller currents, but with ferals the only giveaway is the ear size, which you can achieve by using the mixed trait anyway. It doesn't make sense to call a human version feral when there would be no claws and no extra fluff and whatnot, so that's pretty much why.

Awesome, thank you!

Ooh, okay - that makes perfect sense! I was wondering if that might be the reason, but I thought I'd ask anyway just to be sure. Thanks so much! 'v'

I'm so sorry to bother you again, but I'm also playing with a sphaerra design and had another question... orz

Are MYO sphaerra allowed to have designs on their guardian spheres at all (gradients, runes, minor markings, etc), or do they have to be completely blank outside of eyes or teeth? I've seen a few sphaerra with really neat little designs on theirs, so I was curious! ;w;

Things like that are fine as long as the sphere is primarily dark in color!

since blakryes with neck fluff say "it can be shaved", does that mean we could also choose to draw our blakrye with or without the fluff if we give it to them? maybe they're having a hot summer or something but let it grow back for the winter, etc. 

Yes, that's totally fine!
