- Hey there! If you've known me a while, you may remember these guys. I created the species over three years ago, and they've had a few different threads over the years.
Perhaps it's just because of my laziness, but as a species they've never been very successful. Still, I'd rather not just let them die.
So! I've decided to make them an open species. That means anyone can design them (for themselves or others), adopt them out, even sell them---so long as you give full credit to me for the species, lines, and info.
Below, I'll post my information for the species. This includes colour/marking guidelines. You do not have to follow these unless you want to create a 'realistic'/canon kayrah.
You can create a rainbow kayrah if you wish--but just like if you'd created a rainbow wolf, you cannot claim the colours are realistic for the species.
Edit: Neatened the colouring layers, added eye detail, and added several new mane types. ^^
Alright, thanks for reading!
Feel free to ask me if you have any questions. C:
All species information is in the second post.
Questions and Answers:
Q: Can I edit the lines?
A: Yes, go ahead!
If you're drawing unrealistic kayrah, anything goes.
If you want to make a "real"/natural kayrah, here's what is/isn't allowed:
Allowed: Different lengths/styles of mane or fur, realistic accessories (ex: feathers/leaves for wild kayrah, collars for domesticated ones), different body types (skinny, muscular, etc), healed scars/missing limbs, different ear types (big, small, floppy), other minor changes.
Not Allowed: Wings/other extra limbs, horns, feathers, scales, piercings, over the top accessories, blood/gore, anything that contradicts what I've written (ex: making females not have manes*), other major changes.
*maneless kayrah are allowed as a mutation, but do not remove manes from the entire species/one gender, etc.
For anything not listed, ask!
Q: Can kayrah of the same sex breed?
A: Realistically, no—though they can be a couple, and adopt kits.
For unrealistic kayrah, as usual, anything goes!
Q: Can these be posted on other websites?
A: Yes, so long as you link back! If posting to deviantart, please also link to my deviantart account.
Q: Can I make an RP? And does it have to follow the behaviour guidelines?
A: Yes, RP's are fine! Though I'd certainly like to see an RP following what I wrote about kayrah behaviour, you're free to come up with your own ideas if you think that would be more interesting.
