Hey there!

I just bought myself a new heir but realized that I don't really know what I want to do with him appearance-wise and that I'm pretty trash at figuring out a good design for him. I figured I might as well post this and leave it to people who are much more talented with markings and bases than I am LOL.

Here is the wardrobe link to the boy.

Here is a link to the actual lion!

What I'm looking for:
I literally have no plans or vibes for this guy yet, so anything really goes in terms of exact color, markings, and patterns. So feel free to go all out! I'm open to anything really.

• Special eyes, please! He currently has Intense Gold, feel free to keep it or change it.

• He currently only has one marking in slot 1. You can either keep it or get rid of it, doesn't matter to me!

• I prefer to keep him a primal, BUT I do have applicators for Patches Uneven, Patches Torn, Piebald Subtle, and Piebald Natural that I haven't gotten rid of yet, so you can feel free to use one of those instead.

• I like monochromatic or pastel color schemes, but it's not a requirement! I'm open to pretty much any color base/marking combo.

• Rare/special bases are more of my preference, but in the end if it looks super nice, I'm fine with it regardless of rarity!

• I prefer applicator bases/markings/eyes, but I am open to other options! (see below)

• Doesn't matter how much it'll cost! I can find a way to come up with the funds lol.

• Edited to add: I usually use the male adol pose on my kings! I know some markings look different on the adol pose as opposed to the adult pose, if that's something you think is important to keep in mind! But again, not required! :]

• Note! I am also perfectly fine using this guy as a heritage/stat rep. I'm a big fan of heavy rosettes, feline markings, vitiligo, and some other breed-only/combo bases and markings, so feel free to use those as well! I can always buy another lion to use for appearance.
----- However, please note that if you do use breed-only markings *AND* a breed-only base, I have to be able to find a lion that already exists or is close to it that I can buy and use to finish the design! Even if I really love your design, I also have to be realistic about what I can acquire! This doesn't apply as much to breed-only markings with applicator bases, though!

What I'm not really looking for:
• Any hyena/cheetah markings... they spread like crazy.
• Anything super green, though I'm not opposed to something like murk being used as like an accent color or something.
• Regular eye colors.
• No super bright/saturated colorbombs, please! I personally find them too chaotic and mismatchy. Feel free to change my mind, though.

Some bases I like:
These aren't a requirement, but if you're looking for somewhere to start, here are some bases I like, regardless if they're applicator or not:
• Alabaster*
• Ardor*
• Augur
• Bloodstone
• Cairngorm
• Cherry Blossom*
• Dawn
• Ebony
• Elysian
• Goridhe
• Grullo
• Ice
• Inpu
• Interstellar*
• Leonid
• Madagascar
• Maziwa
• Noctis
• Obsidian*
• Onyx*
• Peach*
• Prismatic
• Ripe
• Ruffian

* means I either already have an app or will get one this month.

If you do end up using a breed-only base, please try not to use excessive breed-only markings (rosettes, feline markings that can't be added with an app, July markings, etc.)! I won't reject any entries that do have a bunch of breed-only markings on a breed-only base, but just keep in mind it'll make it harder for me to actually use the design!

Some bases I don't like:
• Albino
• Bushveld
• Cinnabar
• Citron
• Green
• Hexaplex
• Mistletoe
• Olive
• Protea
• Teardrop
• Topaz
• Wine
• Xanthic

Prizes:
First Place: 20 + 10 free studs (He's clean and has 5.5k+ stats if that means anything to you lol)
Second Place: 10 + 5 free studs
Third Place: 5 + 1 free stud

You can post unlimited entries!

Deadline: 02/10/23

If you have any questions, just ask! This ended up a lot longer than I expected lol. And thanks in advance!!!
