Full visual guide -> Evoloon Starter Guide: Anatomy 

• Evoloons are born a bit chubby, with round features and medium length legs.
  
• Evoloons are born hairless, or with a fine peach fuzz. No hair, no fur, no fluff, no tufts anywhere. Only eyelashes are allowed.
  
• You can use your own lineart or an official base for your Evoloon approval sheet (more info in in Evoloon Creation and Approval).
• We accept some variants for the Evoloon height, length and weight:
  

Full art guide -> Evoloon Starter Guide: General Tips 

 

Make your Evoloon big enough for us to see all the details. If some details are too small and hard to see, make a bigger side drawing of the details (examples: eyes, markings). Also make sure we can see all important parts of your Evoloon like the thumbs and the fawn spots. Avoid complicated poses that would make some important parts of the anatomy impossible to see.

Use a lineart that has good contrast against the colors of your Evoloon. Remember that not all the screens are calibrated the same, and we need to distinguish your Evoloon's features.

For traditional art, make sure the picture quality is good and the image big enough, so we can see and recognized the colors and the details. Avoid ruled paper and preferably use white paper (not brown). Do not submit a sideways picture; please use a software to rotate your picture.

Full coloring guide -> Evoloon Starter Guide: Coloring 

• Do not put makeup or rosy cheeks on your Evoloon; only the true colors are allowed on the approval sheet. 
• Do not use shading/lighting on the approval sheet either. Do not use gradient colors on large areas. We accept a small transition in color made by brushes, as long as it doesn't create additional colors. Example of accepted gradient effect from brushes: Accepted Brush Color Transition (Gradient).
• Base colors must be applied in large areas. Small patches/spots/markings/lines are not allowed as base colors (acceptable minimum sizes are shown above). These are obtainable with upgrades later is desired. 
  
  Here are some specific size rules:
  
  
• Colors on ears, if not connected to a larger area of the same color, must cover at least 1/3 of the ear.
• Colors on the paws must at least cover all of the toes.

For the first example here, the swatch goes from orange brown to a slightly more red brown. They still look brown and are very similar. This would be OK!

For the second example, the swatch goes from yellow brown to orange brown and finally to red brown. Those colors are too much apart and would not be accepted.

If you are having trouble picking colors, we also offer free to use color palettes, with loads of colors to choose from. Just remember, a new Evoloon can only have 3 colors to start with, and those must be chosen from the same palette.

• Ears must be round like a lion's cub or a bear.
• The inside of the ear must be visible at least for one ear and colored white.
• If the Evoloon's outer ear color matches the color inside the ear, you are still required to draw the outline for the inner ear.
  
• Since Evoloons are born totally hairless, ears cannot have fluff inside.
• Colors on ears, if not connected to the head, must use at least 1/3 of the ear.
  

• The pupil must be split horizontally in 2 different colors (the difference must be easy to see).
• The pupil cannot have any intricate shapes inside.
  
• The iris must be white.
  
• The iris wraps completely around the pupil.
  
• The sclera must be visible and cannot be white (colors looking too much like white are not allowed).
• Tear duct can have any color.
• There is always a white line or white eye bag under the eye (can also be called eye line).
• The white line under the eye must be restricted to this area, and must touch the bottom of the eye.
• The white line under the eye cannot be creatively shaped (unless white is one of your main body colors). No swirl, or other type of fancy shape.
  
• Eyebrows must be round, oval or tear-shaped.
• Eyebrows must be white.
• Eyebrows must be visible, and always lined to show they are eyebrows and not spots.
• You can add eyelashes and they can be any color (although, mods might ask you if they are indeed eyelashes).

• Muzzle / nose is fairly short.
• Evoloons have 6 nostrils (3 on each side).
• Nostrils must be visible, even if your evoloon is pure black.
• Nostrils must be horizontal, not vertical.
• Nose must be white.
• The white on the nose can extend to the chin and the bridge of the nose.
• Unless white is one of your base color, the white on the nose cannot extend toward the rest of the head and cannot connect to the white under the eye.
• Nostrils can be of any color.
  
• Tongue can have any shape and any colors.
• The inside of the mouth can have any color.
• Evoloons are born without teeth. Teeth are added later with an upgrade.

• Fawn spots must be white.
  
• Fawn spots can only go on the back and the butt (the rump).
• Fawn spots must be rounded or oval (no lines, no jagged shapes, etc.).
  
• Each side of the Evoloon must have at least 3 spots (this means 6 spots total).

• Evoloons have white thumbs on the inside of each leg (all 4 legs).
  
• Evoloons can have 3 or 4 toes (besides the thumbs), and they must be visible/lined.
• Thumbs must be visible even if the color of the paws is white, and they must always be lined to show that they are thumbs and not spots.
• Newborn Evoloons don't have paw pads; paw pads can be added later with an upgrade.
  
• Colors on toes must color all the toes on one foot otherwise it will be considered too small of an area. This means you can't have one single toe colored on a paw. All the toes on that paw must be colored.
