.:Concerning Add-ons:.

Postby Kyrit » 02/17/2016 2:39 PM

~**~

Now now, I don't always bring bad news, people. In fact, today I bring news that many of you will surely like!

Everyone would love to be able to purchase add-ons for their pets. Sadly, the Evelon staff just doesn't have the resources to always be working on add-ons. That being said, there are quite a few of you out there that could probably draw absolutely amazing add-ons! As such, we're opening the doors to you artists out there. As of today, you can officially open up your own add-on art shop in the bazaar.

There are some regulations that we'll have to go through though, to keep up add-on standards and to make sure that all official pet images stay on the Evelon Photobucket. As such, there is a new shop in the marketplace that is willing to take your add-ons and make them official. It's a bit like the palette potion review thread, though we decided to structure it as a shop.

To read all about how the new add-on system works, check out the new rules section all about add-ons!

I think this is absolutely awesome!

Quick query here though; in the rules post it states:

Kyrit wrote:
Things you may NOT customize on your own
       Make alternating images for one pet/animate it
       Excessive lineart changes - nothing greater than ~35% changes
               Refers to physical changes, such as removing/replacing a tail
       Add/change markings
       Major changes to Paragon facial structure
       New tail/wing types for Paragon


Does this only apply to Breedables? Or would we also be unable to add markings of any kind to our non-breedable customs?

If you wanted to add something like a small tattoo that's fine, but a full on large marking would be a no go. Markings can only be added at the time of a pet's creation.

First of all, yay! This is great. I'm really excited about the possibilities.

I have a couple of questions about markings/color change for non-breedables.

- It says we can change eye color, but can we change the color of other small things as well? (For example: horns, gems, or ear-fluff.)

- Additionally, can we change the color of smaller markings? (For example: the eye spot on a Tali's tail or the stripes under their eyes.)

- Since we can add small markings or "tattoos" can we also remove them? (For example: the set of scales on the shoulder of a Purine Penticorn.)

I also have a question, but regarding the changes to a paragon's facial structure. How do we get the jaw edit you made for female voids then? And what about other changes like masks like some of Kreepy's paragon (just as examples)?

If they're fairly small parts of the body like that, yeah. Those sort of changes are fine. They're akin to changing things like the hair color of Kuhnas, so I see no problem with that.

Silver wrote:- Additionally, can we change the color of smaller markings? (For example: the eye spot on a Tali's tail or the stripes under their eyes.)

This one I'd have to ask Baal to be 100% certain about, so I promise to get back to you on this one.

This is one I'll have to get back to you on as well, just to make sure.

Mojave wrote:How do we get the jaw edit you made for female voids then? And what about other changes like masks like some of Kreepy's paragon (just as examples)?

The list states Major changes to Paragon facial structure. The simple jaw edits I've done in the past aren't major. They only requite a single line to be drawn and then a layer mask to remove anything past that line. A major change would be something like removing the tendrils from a Nago Paragon. That's require redrawing of the hair underneath. If it's something small that can be removed though - say you wanted the male Ambia to have shorter (but not removed) antlers, that could be done - using just a line or two and a layer mask, that's fine.

Baal's also been a little worried about adding things to the face as she is removing. So as long as you make a mask that doesn't like.. keep us from seeing what type of Paragon it is, you should be fine. We just don't want people to try to take a Paragon and change it in to what might as well be an entirely new species of Paragon.

So is total wingblade removal and any number of tail removals allowed now for Lucain? :0c

Wingblade removals have been available in the past, so yeah. No problem with that. You can remove a single wingblade, just the ankle ones, just the back ones, ect. Tail removals have also been available in the past (Toxic owns a Lucain with only one tail), though I'd have to make sure with Baal if you could remove all tails. For sure on females you wouldn't be able to, since it'd be a bit too much editing when you involve removing the tail that's covering up a leg.

Okay maybe I'm missing this somewhere but... do we only pay the artist for the add on then? Or do we pay the artist AND the price of having an add on? Does that make sense?

Desrian, I believe that you will pay the artist whatever their rate is to draw the add-on, and then there is simply a 10 ks fee (per add-on) to make it official, assuming it is accepted. I may be wrong, but this is my understanding.

Pretty sure Phoenix is right! And my prices match the prices that the mods used back when add-ons were a thing~ ovo  So it's a pretty solid rate across the board, as I understand it.
