Working Base - Open to suggestions/critiques/etc.

Postby Lya » Fri Jun 14, 2013 10:19 am

    Well, yeah. Doing this over with some help this time.
    This is just a working base for myself and Zoe-Underland, who's helping me. :)

    We are open to any critique's or ideas at this moment, if you want to comment something, or give us tips or anything. ^^
    We would also love it, if you could take the time and answer the questions in this post. It would help immensely if you could even answer just one of them!

    Lines by dovestar12 [see 'Based on']

    Edit: Just put up an idea box where the credit for all incoming ideas go. We will put any and all ideas up there and look what we take and what we don't take while we work.
    I have also put up what additions there are already.

    Additional Lines

    • A pair of horns
    • Hair (on the chin and elbows)
    • A pair of dragon wings
    • Back Webbing


    Idea box

    1. 'Important people' get extra accesoires
      by .Secret.

    Coloration Ideas

    • A bit of blue on everyone of them. No matter what shade, no matter what amount.
      by .Secret.

    Gender Differenciation

    • Well kings could have kelp/coral covered crowns. Females can have the bead stuff. And both kings and normal males can have spikes on their backs? Normal females can just look normal?

Umm... The leaders or shamans or spiritual guys or whatever. Basically what I'm saying is the important people can have beads, pearls and sometimes like human rings from shipwrecks of whatever hanging off them on strings or something...

Just an idea :)

That's a nice idea. :)
And, I had originally planned to call these 'important people' royality and make it so only royality can mate, to keep it special. Of course, there would be a way to try and make them royality.
Something like Mihochi's matriarch/patriach-system on the Sora Nekos. I have even asked Mihochi if it would be okay to make such a system which is loosely based on hers. :)

That's a really good Idea ^-^
I tend to send gifts to my bestie Elementstar and use both hers and my pets to order art :)

    Phew, finally finished the Coloring Layers. :P
    Also, I have a few questions, and it would be lovely if there were a few people who would answer these. :)
    Of course I already have a structure myself, but I would like to get a few opinions of others on these, since it's not me who would adopt them, but you. :P

    Code: Select all
    [b]How should genders be differenciated? What would be typical female/male features?[/b]


    Code: Select all
    [b]What kind of colorations could you imagine these to be? Should they only be a certain number of different colors?[/b]


    Code: Select all
    [b]If there was the possibility to buy customs of these, would you maybe order one? If so, what do you think would be a fair price?[/b]


    Code: Select all
    [b]If customs were to usually be available only through buying, would you like special events/contests for a chance on a free custom spot?[/b]


    Code: Select all
    [b]Should breeding be available for free (but only on certain days of the month) or paid (and always)?[/b]


    Code: Select all
    [b]If only higher ranked dragons could breed, would you like a one in twenty chance to up your rank or would you pay for it? If you would pay, how much would you be willing to pay?[/b]


    Lol, that's kinda a lot of questions, but I'm curious and really don't want these to go to waste. :P

What kind of colorations could you imagine these to be? Should they only be a certain number of different colors?
This is just an idea, because they come from the sea how about blue has to be somewhere on them? It can be any shade and doesn't matter if it's big or small. This is just an idea.

If there was the possibility to buy customs of these, would you maybe order one? If so, what do you think would be a fair price? I would say a 2010 WL uncommon or above would be fitting. Emphasis on WL.

If customs were to usually be available only through buying, would you like special events/contests for a chance on a free custom spot? YES

Should breeding be available for free (but only on certain days of the month) or paid (and always)? Free and only on certain days of the month.

If only higher ranked dragons could breed, would you like a one in twenty chance to up your rank or would you pay for it? If you would pay, how much would you be willing to pay? I wouldn't mind that. I would play around an 09 rare.

    Thank you very much, .Secret., for answering these questions. :)
    I just decided that I will all suggestions coming out of these questions in the Idea box to, just a bit seperate.
    And I think I should actually make the add-ons there are visible. :P

    Sure xD
    I'm the only one who may not, because I don't want people to simply say 'your idea is good/bad' but to see what they actually like since it's my original idea. :P
