Description
*nervously appears behind a rock*Hey friends. After almost 200 drawings of mini lions and a lot less people asking if i ever planed to make them a closed species i decided i can give it a shot and try to run a mini-lion community. I have a folder full of unfinished psds for prompts, guides etc. I am a total noobie to this (i had closed species before but i never took it too seriously) so bear with me. I'll use these plebies mostly as a way to learn and possibly have fun in the future.
Mini lions weren't designed with the intention of ever be a "unique" species hence the lack of traits and other CS...thingies. BUT i figured since people enjoy them, why not try and make mini lion "world" so we can have some potential fun with them in the future?!
You may notice they are a SEMI-OPEN species. That means that for starts everyone can create their own mini-lion and come join the fun (hopefully) but more that below. I'll hopefully cover most questions here but in case i missed anything feel free to comment or note me if you have questions!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
~MYO F.A.Q~
What does "Semi-Open" mean?
If you'd like to join the mini-lion world but don't want to buy or get a custom one from me, you can create one yourself. For now the limit is only one mini lion per person.
You would have to note me the mini lion or comment here once you have it and after i approve it you'll be an official member of our little world
You said these aren't a species so i made a few for already...What do i do with them?
As long as it was for personal use it's fine. You can keep your little chubby lions. The only "catch" here is that ONLY mini-lions created by my hand AND approved MYOS will be able to join the future events, prompts, giveaways etc in the group.
Can i sell/trade/gift my approved MYO?
After approving your MYO you can only gift it or trade them. You CANNNOT sell Myo designs! This is only allowed if you bought them from me from an adoptable batch or custom order.
Is there a group? Do i have to join?
Yes otherwise why make a MYO mini lion? The group will serve as a virtual mini lion "world" for all related activities, events etc.
It is still plain as a rock but i'll try to make it preety soon!
I finished my MYO. Where do i submit?
Please submit to THIS FOLDER
Once your mini-lion is approved you can use them for all future group activities
Is there a registration form?
I have more questions
I'll try and update this FaQ as they come!

~MINI LION WORLD F.A.Q~
Is it canonically a floating island?
Yes it is! Altho the design and map may change in the future for now the image above serves mostly as "quick reference"
What are mini-lions doing there?
Atm not much. Mostly chilling i'd say! But for the future they are gonna take part in events, prompts and various other activities.
They may even get the chance to operate their own mini-shops exclusive only to other mini lions! (more to that soon)
There are 200 mini lions already! How are you gonna keep track of everything? And what if someone doesn't want their mini lion to be part of this world?
That is completely fine. I understand people may have created their own canon story for their mini. This world is just something i wanted to create as a "side activity" for them.
As for the number of minis. I have a good guess that not all of them will be interested in the mini-lion world. Those who are will be asked to fill out a registration form soon with their mini/s of choice. Something like "id" or "residence" proof. That way i will keep the official "residents" separately than my other mini-lions.
Are they just called mini-lions? It's not very...creative
Maybe they have a secret name only THEY know! haha But most people call them mini-lions. And it was the first thing i called them when i made the first batch :_D So that kinda stuck ^^
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
AND FINALLY: ARE THEY A CLOSED SPECIES CAN I DRAW ONE OR NOT??
I don't own the concept of chubby fatsy lion-like characters. You wanna create characters like them outside the group/community? I won't hunt anyone. Go ahead and have fun drawing fatsy lions. No strings or rules attached.
So while the species itself is not exactly a "closed" species their group/community activities are only available to mini-lions designed by my hand or approved MYOS.
The best way to explain would be to think of it as a "horse ARPG" group. Only instead of horses it's particularly these chubby creatures xD Horses are not a closed species but depending on their group certain rules may apply ^^ Hope that covers it!
I would only kindly ask you to not trace them <3

Thank you so much! If you wish to join the arpg i'm afraid only one MYO per person in allowed (and i would prefer if each would draw their own ^^).
That doesn't forbid you to draw "mini lions" for your friends if you want The minis just won't be able to join the group activities unless each of them join with their own accounts ^^ Hope that makes sense :_D

Ooooh yes! I just saw that rule on the bottom, silly me x) I honestly don’t think they would, it was just for fun hehe, I will most likely do one for myself and participate \o/ thanks for your reply!

I'l dove to see yours!!
I should maybe update this deviation to include what i wrote in the group but in short; I'm very chill with people wanna draw their own minis. I use the term "semi-open" a bit loosely. What i wanna say is; People can draw them if they want. I can't not allow people to draw chubby little lions, you know? ^^ The only "catch" is that in case anyone wanna join the ARPG they either need to have a mini lion by me or an approved MYO ^^
So yea. You can totally draw mini lions for your friends for fun ^^

I think is super cool how you are doing this and I totally get the point behind the rules, I think is actually a great system ^^ people that really wanna join the ARPG stuff can join even if they don’t have the muns to get one from you \o/
Love the species, wishing the best !!!

Ah Thank you! I think the "rules" work to everyone's favor. ^^
People who are not interested in the ARPG can draw whatever mini lions they want (they just won't be added to the masterlist and game events ^^)
But if people follow the simple "rules" and get their MYO approved not only will they be able to join in but they will also be able to get free (or very cheap) base transfers for their MYOS as well as more mini lions by participating in quests and events
One would say it may be be unfair to allow people to freely draw them (especially because people paid for them) but the truth is i can't police people on what they wanna draw. And i do think that in the long run people who join the ARPG by having either a design by me or an approved MYO will have more to "gain" ^^

In theory everyone can draw whatever they want... so the closed species only work in the way you say, they are not official, you could totally not allow people to participate or make them official and it’s up to you and how you wanna manage your ARPG group ^^ do your thing! If you get way too many entries maybe restrict them more is a good idea xD I know of groups having their own currency earn by participating, so getting a myo slot that way is also fun!

The simple accessory that a myo can have
Are the wings something I could attain after my myo is official or is that something I can put on them as their one simple accessory in design stage?

miloudee In reply to BatInAHat [2018-08-29 13:43:16 +0000 UTC]
You'll be able to obtain wings (and mini lions aswell!) So don't worry too much about following the accessory guide to the "T" i mostly ask for it so people won't go too crazy with their MYO's so future base-transfers and "breeding" will be easier ^^
Because of the nature i'm most inclined to take the game one will be able to not only obtain more traits (to come) for their mini lions but also combining certain items AND mini lions aswell and get a whole new mini lion ^^
MyOs are for people who don't yet own a mini lion from me to they can get the chance to get more by participating ^^
Oh! And as for the base-transfer i'd love to have them very obtainable! (either thu a significantly lowered usd/point price or/and arpg means) so that's also a reason i ask for not too many/crazy accesories.
Sorry if i wasn't clear! The Tl.DR version would be; Wings would count as "accesory" but you'll be easily be able to obtain them in the future for your MYO and other mini lions ^^ Hope that helps!

For starts just create a mini lion and post it to the folder you see in the description ^^
After that you are free to make them whatever you want (But only mini-lion form can join the group activities ^^)

Are we allowed one accessory? If I'm getting this right we are but just not multiple? I'm just making sure
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
miloudee In reply to PaigeBunni [2018-08-26 17:28:13 +0000 UTC]
That's correct ^^ Anything that can have "multiples of the same kind" will still count as one accessory; Pe: A flower crown is one accessory, flowers scattered on them still counts as "one"
A pair of horns is one accessory as is a unicorn horn
If you have more questions let me know altho don't worry about it too much! You'll have more freedom to toy with them once they become "official"^^
