New Bases
Because this month is so connected to flowers, we've decided to add flower-inspired bases to Lioden. There's two Combo bases and one Raffle base.

Orchid - Red Light Solid Special is a raffle base. However, to be fair (unlike late news), the raffle lady launched on time - this means Orchid base will appear on next week's lioness. Meanwhile you can plan ahead and stay hyped! It was created by mixing existing designs of Fuchsia, Sunset and some extra delicate petal veins.

Hellebore - Cream Dark Solid Special (Suggestion) inspired by a flower, this is a combo base. We will not reveal how to obtain it, enjoy scrying and detective work! There's no time or season restrictions to achieve this base.

Black Rose - Red Dark Solid Special (Suggestion) is a combo base. Just as user suggested, it can be obtained by breeding a Cinnabar with very black bases - Onyx, Jet or Obsidian. There's no time or season restrictions to achieve this base.

Polls and Dev Notes
Looks like you guys like all of the Goodie NPCs almost equally, wow!

LINK - New poll! We'd like you to vote on first male pose that will appear on Lioden - again, yes, but hopefully last time - this time we added a TON of variety. Please consider how much you'd like the pose, and how good it will show off the markings and decors, as well as the manes, that will be at different angles here.

Please, keep in mind these are sketches. Anatomy mistakes, expressions or even the facing side can be adjusted at the final stage.

This means you're picking the FIRST pose for males (although poses for males will take many months each to create - there's dozens of manes, thousands of markings and decors to draw from scratch). It means a second or third pose can be even picked from the same poll, much later.

It also means the least voted poses can be turned into a mutation in future, just like we did with Smilus, which was originally a Roaring pose type 2, which obviously lost terribly with others back in the day.
