There won't be any lineart modifications, however the lineart is mostly to show off the fur design. If you want your smili to be fatter than the lineart, just say so in your description of if. Most of the pudgyness on the smili lineart is fluff, because it is suppoed to be a fairly young smili, and the pudginess is a sign of a good life with plentiful food and lazy days. Something that mostly shows on smili aged 30 and up.
Diffrent hair variations is possible as long as they keep the mane, but again it won't show on the lineart. A curly or short haired one would look really cute. Mostly they all have a really long, thick and dense fur that makes them badly suited for rainforests. I bet some of the lazier ones acctually could mold. Their fur can not take humidity very vell. The fur is adapted for dry and cold mountain and taiga reigions.
But I don't really like green, so I'm pretty bad when it comes to designs like that.
Smili can swim but they are not good at it, when the fur gets wet it gets really heavy and drags the smili down. So they never swim in deep water where they could drown without a really good reason. Only really strong smili and cubs can stay at the surface for more than a few minutes. Cubs can swim from birth, just like most mammals, but they gradually gets worse at it as they grow. Most smili hate to get wet though. It makes the itchy.
Everyone can make a smili RP, as long as they acctually understands the species and preferably own a smili of their own. And asks before they set it up so I can have a look at the plot and all. It's important to know how smili work and how they'd set up a society before trying to make a RP. The risk is that it isn't at all how I thought it should and get dissapointed.
Anyway, I don't expect everyone who wants to RP a smili to join the same one, things are never simple as that, so if there are multiple ones are fine with me. There could perhaps be a more advanced RP for players with higher standards?
