Evolving Dinosaurs Artist Competition! (Finished!)

Postby Gelliebeen » Wed Oct 03, 2012 12:01 pm

-=[How Does it Work?]=-
I wanted to try something fun, an adoptable that is also a sort of game. Here we have 6 "base" dinosaurs (I'll probably make more), with carnivores facing right, and herbivores facing left.

The special thing about these dinos is lineart edits. Each adoptable will have one or two mutations. These mutation edits can be ANYTHING. When I invite artists to make adoptables, they'll get to make their own mutations. If they make something new, I'll add it to the list for that particular dino, and I will randomly generate a percentage chance that that edit can be put on another adoptable of that same species. For instance: I take Herbivore #1, and I give it ridge spikes. That is a new thing for Herbivore #1, so I give it a randomly generated number (68%). Now if me or anyone else wants to add ridge spikes to Herbivore #1, they must first roll and see if that mutation actually happens.

The same happens with breeding, but only the mutations on the particular dinos being bred apply. So, as time goes on, and dinos get bred and mutations are generated these guys will really transform!

Sounds like fun? I think so too!


See the main adoptable page here!

This is my new adoptable, and it needs artists! The plan is to slowly evolve these dinosaurs, mostly via breeding (but also obviously from premades as people make new mutations). SO:

-=[Rules]=-

  • Every entrant can make up to 3 entries, of any species already available (there are 6. 3 herbivores and 3 carnivores)
  • Each entry MUST have 2 new mutations (up to 3), in the form of Line Edits. If you can't do line edits, you can't be an artist.
  • If a mutation exists for one species, but not for another, than you may still use that mutation on the species that does not yet have it.
  • Creativity is important. That and quality will be what I'm looking for. Obviously the regular color design should look nice as well.
  • There may be some overlap in entries as far as mutations go, and that can't be helped. But try to use mutations you haven't seen on other entries.
  • All non-winning and non-claimed entries may go up for adoption for ED, my choice.
  • Put me in the (Gelliebeen) ColorMeIn.

EVERY OTHER ENTRANT MAY KEEP ONE OF THEIR ENTRIES FOR THEMSELVES! EVERYONE GETS A PRIZE ;]
Please say so in whichever entry you want to keep.
If I choose to only have a first place winner, and no second or third I'm allowed to do so. Regardless, everyone may keep one of their entries.

Entering! Are we allowed to do more than the required number of new mutations or are only that number allowed?

Meh. I guess I'll change it to 3. It's no big deal, just what I set it as.
