Quick question, do these need to be approved before posting? I was starting my own new breed but didn't know we could post what we wanted to see them look like o3o I thought we had to wait to see what we got. If we can do this I would looove to get my ideas posted.

You can go ahead and post up your threads.
What's nice about posting here, is you can get some feedback from the artist (HMS) on if what you have in mind is even do-able or not.
While I know she's busy-busy, I'm sure at some point that she'll get a chance to look at these and can always toss people feedback.

For instance, if certain traits aren't really possible, she can warn people to adjust their breed ideas, etc.
That way, people aren't trying for something that just can't be done.

Thank you for getting back to me!! This makes me really excited and hopefully lets me know if my plans are doable :X OFF TO DRAW

I hope you don't mind if I copy paste some of your writings @_@ you said everything I wanted to with the clutchmate info

Go for it, I don't mind. :3

Hmm I'm very interested in this. ouo

Ok, about to crash for the night, but I wanted to take a second to respond to the new breed goals.

Firstly, they are amazing! I LOVE the designs guys, and am eager to see how things turn out.

Second, to clarify a few things. I'm going to be working my tush off to get a bunch of stuff done this week, this includes, amongst other things, getting genetic info, type/breed basic info, trait info, etc written up. PLEASE bear with me, I'm working on it in between sculpting and watching the baby, so its slow going. BUT....

One quick clarification...Tatterwings have horns, not ears. The smooth, backwards curving protrusions are, in fact, a type of horn...modeled after and intended to resemble gargoyle horns. And under normal circumstances, horns are one of those traits that don't stack. IE, you can only have one style of horn. If two horns are charted, we do a random.org coin flip to see which one is the expressed horn style. This is to prevent my from having nervous eye twitches trying to figure out how to cram 6 different horns on a single, inch long teacup Wyrm head. O.o'

That said, in the circumstances where it would be possible to have multiple horns (IE styles that allow space for each other) what I could do is create another charm that is basically a x2 Trait charm. It would allow for things like 2 sets of horns to be present.

And lastly....people have been asking about the fairy Wyrms, and if we are releasing any more. They were "found" eggs that were in theme for AC's midsummer nights dream theme. They were a limited edition convention release, and not intended to be re-released a second time. Not all of them got registered, which is unfortunate, because the viable breeding population is, in some cases, nonexistent. Because of this, I will be on the lookout for any possible fairy eggs this Spring/Summer. NO promises, but you never know....strange things can be found if you know the right wild places to look..... ;3

Oh man that messes with my design a bit :X unless in the Qui-lin horn has enough space between the Tatterwings. I think the charm would be nice! Thank you for the information!!

Ah, damn, my mistake. I assumed that since the horns were the same color as the wyrm skin, they were similar to the ears on Growlers or Pipefoxes. We're going to be using a lot of trait charms as it is, so I'm gonna need to rework the design with Hekomi. u_u Thanks for telling me before we got too into it, though!

I have a really big question - do the breeding charms stack? Say you wanted to use a color AND a trait charm in the same go - would that be feasible?

[Hekomi]

o: they're horns.
WELL THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING.

Looks like we've got some exploring to do later Moosee. -puts on hard cap-

And I'm soooo excited about the possibility of more fairies. o3o They're my favourite breed. xD

edit; fixed my horn/ear issue, lol.

Also, HM, how much will the charms be going for?

[HopefulMonster]

Sciggles- that one wouldn't be a problem, the qui-Lin horn is a single, and small enough to sneak in between the tatters normal horns.

Moosee- no prob, I need to get the list together and work on all my breed/type descriptions, so the traits are more clear. Tatterwings horns were inspired by gargoyles, I liked the solid, carved from a single piece look it gave. Of course, they are much more of a pain to sculpt than the horns I do separately and smoosh into the clay skulls, but such is the burden of aesthetics. ;3
As for the charms, we will probably allow stacking. Nt sure yet if there will be a limit (say, two charms per breeding) or not, need to chat with Zia about a few of the breeding mechanics anyway, so I'll out that on the list of "needs a desicion" one way or the other. I'm inclined to say yes....if someone has the charms, why not? Just be aware each charm is good for ONE breeding before it needs a recharge.

Hekomi- me too! The wings are a bit of a pain, working on figuring out a better/easier way to attach them, but I love the faces. I got my list from Zia on breeds that are troublesome as far as not having enough members for viable breeding populations, and will be working on slowly introducing new stock into the breeding pool. Some Types are rarer than others, as per the rarity rating, but we do what people to be able to breed them. So expect an influx of lower numbered breeds in the next few convention bunches.


And again, trying to get everything written up, but I will give one teaser....those of you creating new breed are going to be excited. The perks for doing so are going to be fairly spiffy, and will allow for recouping some of your breeding expenses that were racked up getting to the new breed. Figured it was only fair. ;3
