Lioden style has certain traits like realistic or at least semi-realistic style and anatomy, subtle shading, pencil-like lineart and a lot of detail. We need artists to try and blend in with our style in order to match the scene/art.

We do not nitpick. We want to explain, straight to the point, why your decor is not matching, and if possible, give tips on what to improve.
I'm just trying to provide as much hints and explanations how to fit Lioden's style better. I do realise it is hard, so I will do my best to help.

I've been there, I had to match many sim sites before and learn their styles, in order to have accessories/decors and I eventually got hired! yay.

So, this thread here is for this purpose:
Is your decor keeping with Lioden's requirements? It's best to know BEFORE you spend money and buy the Decor Maker, right?

Paste it here (or if you're shy, PM me) and I will PM you with explanations, WIP tips, or suggestions to change style or artist (unfortunately some artists know only "Pixelart" etc and they rarely will adjust fast enough to match).

I made a little lamb click and click and used this pic as reference click
Could you give me suggestions and tip? I'm not completely happy with it x3
Thank you.

Oh and is it acceptable? Or are you or other artist planning on making a similar decor?

So I fell in love with the Jasper jewelry and made this to go along with it

e5iWE2Q.png

Would that be allowed, since it looks similar to the jewelry on here? I didn't see anything that said it couldn't be made to complement decor already on here, but I just wanted to make sure, and also fix anything that looks off.

Thanks!!

There's no leopon scarf options, so I thought I'd try and make one. I will probably do cub, adol, and male versions if this one is deemed okay. I have no experience making custom decor, so any advice will help.

Best ways to improve it? Any pointers on shading?

I drew a Falabella decor. I didn't see another decor like it, and I wanted to see if the style fits in enough?

Okay! So I made this art piece and I am wondering if it would acceptable in the future if I ever chose to turn it into a CD

1 it would behind the lion image and I would have it in a different position than it currently is in and probably facing he other way
2 I know it's not currently transparent I'm not on a proper device to make it transparent
3 the feet are supposed to appear as they are because the species only has three toes per paw not counting the front dewclaws :)
4 OH! And the ID tag on the hip is only temporary and won't be there if this would be allowed to be a CD ^^

Pm me if there's anything that needs changing

I'm not sure about this. when it comes to digital art skills I'm not very good (I've been doing this with my basic built-in laptop mouse pad because it's cheaper and more affordable than the better stuff).

It's really a hard try for me- and I only know pixel-ish art, so it might be a long shot. At least I can say I tried.

Would something like this be okay? If not what can I do to make it so it is?
I tried to make the lines thin but The ended up making them a bit thicker than intended.

would this rabbit work? Or does it not match the style enough?

Okay! So round two!

I am workin on the feet, made the frame more proportional by separating the crest from the body, and fixed the location of the tail types

Like I had mentioned before, this is an imaginary species I created so it only bases off of references I use to try and mix and match proportions that work together from different dog breeds and even separate animal species similar to canines

I am attenpting to redo the shading and fur, though I'm running into some trouble getting** it to actually look like fur x(

Also, this would be in front of a male lion, I plan to change the position based on where it would fit best for each aging stage. More than likely, it will only be for adults and adolescents because I don't think it would look good with cubs, and I don't really want pup stages to be in the CD option

EDIT::

Link

Here is the finished outline without the visual stuff all over the image for anatomy notes

I wish I could send you a png image and all, but I am not using a device that allows me to keep the png when I upload at the moment XnX

There's some visible differences, and this version only sports the long tail as I am redoing the docked one

I won't post my shading and fur work cause I know it sucks right now, once I at least attempt the whole body I will update or let you know x(
