THANKS A LOT TO ALL THE ARTISTS WHO PARTICIPATED!
I LOVED EACH AND EVERY SINGLE PIECE YOU ALL DREW/ WROTE FOR ME

Hmm, weird. I could’ve sworn the settings were right. I’ll just copypaste it here, then! ^^

The White One is aptly named, of course. Its fur is the color of polished ivory, shining in the sunlight as it moves with dignified purpose through the willow tree marshes which it lives in, and when it opens its mouth, vivid cerulean flesh and rows of pearly teeth are revealed. But there is more to it than its mere coloring.

It strongly resembles a cervidae in body shape, with two pairs of elegant legs and silky feathering at the ankles, such as a friesian horse, and small hooves. It also has a slender, curved neck and strong skull with a Roman nose, boasting pupiless blank eyes like two full moons on either side of its angled head. It has a large nose which often collects dew in the early morning, and its tail is dog-like and heavy, with long fur that sweeps the ground and is often drenched in marsh water. When it feels threatened, the tail raises up high, and it will let out a low bugling noise to warn whatever worries it to stay far away.

Perhaps what makes it the most impressive, however, is the massive rack of horns on its head. Most like those of an elk, they branch elegantly in many different directions and are covered in soft velvet. They additionally sport exotic rose-like flowers both blue and white, which drape down towards the ground on thornless, leafy green vines, and are rooted within the antlers themselves. The flowers appear to feed solely off of the horn’s velvet, which is speculated to be highly nutritious (unlike that of earth’s cervidae), and do not grow anywhere else on earth. They do wilt and fall off during autumn and winter, leaving the White One with antlers wrapped in eerie, gnarled brown vegetation, but bloom in early spring again to once more bring fragrant beauty to their host.

The White One is a gorgeous being, but its beauty sadly comes at a shattering price. It was once said that its eyes bring death— that their pure emptiness brought madness to even the most strong-willed of men. For thousands of years, it was falsely hailed as a demonic entity which only sought to destroy those who wronged it; it showed up in mythology, art, and writing alike throughout the ages. It was constantly attacked and its territory destroyed, nonetheless always escaping moments before death and bounding away on fleet hooves to heal from its wounds. It lived in terror, for it refused to fight back with any fatal blow. Desperate for humanity to not seek its life, it covered its eyes in a scrap of light gray fabric torn from the clothing of a poor woman who had fallen into the marshes which it lived in and drowned. Blindfolded, it was no longer capable of sight, and to this day, it wanders its own land with practiced confidence but a crushed spirit, not daring to remove its bonds for fear of attack.

It is said that if one were to enter the White One’s marshes when the moon was full, they might catch a glimpse of the mighty creature standing on a hill beneath one of the many willows, its blindfold blowing gently in a southern wind, and gaze upon it as it peers at a star-spattered sky which it will never truly see again after humanity’s cruel violence towards it.

Do you hear that? It is the White One’s bugling call, declaring to all that it will stand for truth until the day our sun overhead finally dies.

You cannot participate with that piece, sorry

But in the Q&A section, it said that you can draw whatever you want, as long as it has the colors of your alien... correct me if I'm wrong, but it clearly states that where the questions were being answered...

It needs to follow the color chart- it explains it in their Deviant Art post ^ ^
She/he also can not have any prints, such as the stripes and ear/tail tips

Quick question, I'm currently designing a mix between a Nokk (Water-spirit in a horse form, more celtic sort of design) and an irish breed of bird called a hen harrier, I was thinking of ways to incorporate the design of the bird by using the markings on the wings, but in the reference above, is it just a small line of grey at the bottom of the wings? Also, for the horse's mane, would it just be all white, like the rest of the body, or could I do the mane, tail and the hoof fur a very light grey? Like the muzzle colouring is on the reference?

That strap of grey is the only place wings can have markings. Just at the tip :)
All kinds of furs and hair are white, also muzzles are white too jajaja the one above is a cow/ deer like nose
If you want to incorporate colors to it you can say humans painted over the creatures body. Otherwise it is all white with the blue details, and maybe a little grey in special cases (I assume you read the description in its DA page)

I did yeah :) due to the environment the creature is in, can I say that the bog has dyed and stained it's fur due to the water's pH level? :P I've nearly finished the drawing you see lol

Finished mine! Combined a Nokk(en) a water spirit which can shift to take on any form it desires, a Hen Harrier falcon, and had Lythrum salicaria (a type of bog plant) growing or nestling themselves into the mane and tail! Decided to go for a creepy vibe for mine :)
