Me again. Sorry for bothering you with my questions!
I was just going to ask.. sorry if its a stupid question, but... are we allowed to make our own wyrms? Obviously, non-registrable-non-breedable, as they're outside the club, and giving a proper credit for the idea to HopefulMonster - just as a fan art? I was just deeply inspired by these adoreable little critters, but I fear it might not be soon for me to get one, with our current state... So, I was wondering, if that would be ok? Maybe, something along the lines of wild, thus absolutely non-tameable wyrm, or not wyrm at all, just an alike creature, a distant relative?
I really want to try making my own fluffy long something, but I dont feel right doing so without asking....

I actually really appreciate you asking, Nano! :3

I'm totally fine with folks making their own fluffy critters. All I ask are the following.

Don't call them Wyrms/use the specific names of any Types or Breeds in the game. IE Plumed Gem Hunter, Growler, etc etc.

Give credit back to where the idea came from. If you were inspired by my Wyrms, mention them and perhaps link back to them when posting ics of your creation?

Have fun! Seriously, I don't "own" the idea of long, fluffy dragony critters. I have copyright to specifics, like the breeding system WE use, the Type and Breed and Species names in reference to the Wyrms, the Farm name, all that jazz. Go nuts, have a blast. Create brightly colored little fuzzballs to keep you company and bring you luck! Heck, create something new! Look online for myths and legendary creatures, and base your critter off of that. Google different cultures, see what sort of creatures/monsters they write about. It's actually a lot of fun, and can give you a great jump off point to base your designs on! ;D

Sounds really cool to do. Would it be possible to create something that becomes an affiliate with the farms such as Blitzva has done? Or is the entire breeding/adopting aspect copyrighted as well out of curiosity?

Breedables aren't copyrighted, and I've actually had multiple people approach me about affiliating and creating something that could be bred with Wyrms or Dragons. To be honest, right now I don't have any plans for that. I'm trying to keep this organized and easy to keep track of, and adding more creature makers and creatures to the system would make it more complicated, and potentially unwieldy. Plus, there's the fact that Blitzava and I both do very similar things, and are able to fairly closely mimic each other's sculpting styles, so crossbreeds aren't a problem. With other creature makers, we'd have to see if this was possible. So for the foreseeable future, probably not. Just too complicated to mess with.

I can see how that'd become very very complicated, and where the sculpting style issue would come in. So, I understand. What about simply being affiliated? Like having an icon as Blitzva does, but not being able to cross-breed?

Im glad you dont mind! :3 Now I can go creative without holding back, I have a ton of different ideas, just wanted to make sure you're ok with possibly similar creatures (I do have other ideas, but I just find the idea of long fluffy critters being so undeniably adoreable <3). Ill post a note and link to CruinndracFarms when posting what Ill get in my experiments

Well, here's the creature I made:
Startlepillar 2 3
Ive noted it was wyrms that inspired me for that idea. Is this credit ok? If not, Ill write what you'd like me to - I dont want there to be any hard feelings! Art is supposed to bring joy to everyone, so Im trying to make sure everything is ok.

I need to do something like this now. Brainstorm time.
