Basic Species info:
A Kora is a large feline largely resembling
a leopard or lion. All Koras have a fluffy
dorsal mane, starting from the end of
the tail and ending at the crown of the
head, falling over the face. Their faces
are broad, like a lion, but they have
wider eyes adapted to seeing in the dark.
Koras have large, tufted tails. We have
yet to know what the purpose of such an
ornamental tail would be. Koras have long,
waterproof fur, good for keeping out
water and unfavorable temperatures.
Koras are distantly related to the snow
leopard, and show similar social and
behavioral characteristics.
All Koras are given a necklace with a large
pendant when they reach the age of two
years. This pendant fits their looks and
usually says something about their personality
as well. The necklaces are custom colored to
match or accent the fur color of the particular
Kora wearing it.
Artists will be awarded a custom, and guest artist will be given a limited amount of adopts to make, and might receive a custom depending on their work and what I decide in the future. Guest artists may or may not be promoted to full artist depending on their work. Individual entries may also be awarded as customs, even if the artist is not chosen (because they might have come up with a single really nice design, but their style isn't fit for the species ect)
I will try to elaborate on prizes, end dates, and general info for the contest as it goes on. Thanks for your patients, and feel free to pm me or post any and all questions!
