Choco1Cake2 Featured By Owner Sep 5, 2018 Hobbyist General Artist

Would water count as a nature feature of does it have to be solid?

witherlings Featured By Owner Aug 19, 2018

Water will count as an elemental power

Sleepygracey Featured By Owner Apr 17, 2018 Hobbyist General Artist

Once you are accepted into the group, do you need to ask to make one?

witherlings Featured By Owner Apr 17, 2018

You get to earn one after making some points, we have a guide to getting started here: Newcomers Guide

Is there a list or guide of common markings that we can refer to, similar to the uncommon and rare trait guides? I'm just wondering if there are more options available to use when designing an esk with common markings/traits

witherlings Featured By Owner Mar 1, 2018

Starters are restricted to common traits, maybe that guide would be helpful - twwm.weebly.com/starter-myos.h…
(just skip down to the traits stuff)

forgetSanity Featured By Owner Jan 28, 2018 Hobbyist General Artist

I have a question do esk's have pawpads if they have pawlike feet?

witherlings Featured By Owner Jan 28, 2018

They do not have pawpads

forgetSanity Featured By Owner Jan 28, 2018 Hobbyist General Artist

awesome thanks ^.^

SleepyHelenFluffy Featured By Owner Jan 25, 2018 Student Digital Artist

how i can get one?

witherlings Featured By Owner Jan 25, 2018

ThoseWhoWentMissing has more info :]

SkellumSketch Featured By Owner Jan 19, 2018 Hobbyist General Artist

Quick question, but is it possible to redesign your esk? Like, not adding new traits to it or anything, just tweaking the design a little, like moving nature feature around / adding more of that nature feature, longer tail, ect.

witherlings Featured By Owner Jan 20, 2018

You can modify the design by playing the ThoseWhoWentMissing game using points through the Energy Exchange feature
Some small tweaks don't require you to use points, some are considered stylistic changes as long as they do not appear to drastically change the design.

SkellumSketch Featured By Owner Jan 20, 2018 Hobbyist General Artist

Alright! Thank you so much! C: Would I have to change the masterlist image if I make those stylistic changes??

witherlings Featured By Owner Jan 20, 2018

It's helpful to keep the masterlist updated, updates can be requested here: Spirit Renewal - Masterlist Updates

Thank you!

DragonBoyKam Featured By Owner Edited Jan 9, 2018 Hobbyist Digital Artist

and are they free to make?
sorry i'm just very confused.

witherlings Featured By Owner Jan 9, 2018

there's a guide to getting started at ThoseWhoWentMissing

DragonBoyKam Featured By Owner Jan 9, 2018 Hobbyist Digital Artist

oh ok think you i'll try to find it

DarTheLizard Featured By Owner Jan 7, 2018 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Are we allowed to just make our own? Also, how do you add that really cool texture? AHH ESKS ARE SO COOL

witherlings Featured By Owner Jan 7, 2018

it's an overlay from lost and taken: lostandtaken.com/

You have to play the game to make them :>

DarTheLizard Featured By Owner Jan 7, 2018 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Ok^^ I shall play le game

SassCannon Featured By Owner Nov 7, 2017 Hobbyist Digital Artist

_{This species is beautiful!
I love the flow of their tails and fur. Heck, your art style is what makes this amazing, and I love it.
Esks are so unique!}

JordyLiz Featured By Owner Oct 16, 2017 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Are manes allowed? I do not see it in uncommon, rare, or abnormal.

Kyuuyula Featured By Owner Oct 18, 2017 Hobbyist General Artist

Not an admin, but on this regular Species Guide it's written that manes are normal for Esk.
Uncommon trait Shaggy also has some more info on manes: Uncommon Esk Traits Index
Quoting: "Shaggy - Fur that is long enough to obscure the body's shape, limbs or face. A long mane is considered common as long as it does not cover any portion of the face."

Hope that helps.

JordyLiz Featured By Owner Oct 18, 2017 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Let me rephrase that: are horse-based manes allowed? That kind of what I ment. Still a mane but alone the back instead of around the neck.

Kyuuyula Featured By Owner Oct 18, 2017 Hobbyist General Artist

I figured you actually meant that. XD
As I said, I'm not admin, but maybe note the group and ask if you could get that sort of mane with a Shaggy trait added to your Esk. There are some Shaggy Esk that have parts of their body 'shaved' so I asume it's possible. Not sure tho.

JordyLiz Featured By Owner Oct 18, 2017 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Thank you! I did get my esk design approved by an admin (I don't actually have an esk yet) so I think we're all good!

Separa Featured By Owner Oct 14, 2017 Hobbyist Artist

OMG
I want and need one *-*

iCHRiLLU Featured By Owner Oct 1, 2017 Hobbyist General Artist

OMG I want one ;^;

Teavian Featured By Owner Sep 19, 2017 Digital Artist

I love Esks, they're so interesting! I'll have to try out the new arpg myself!

Lordfell Featured By Owner Sep 7, 2017

all good bois

blackmailchan Featured By Owner Sep 7, 2017

id love to have a mega giant esk with a whole ecosystem on its back that would be sick

witherlings Featured By Owner Sep 7, 2017

added note about upcoming updates, I hope this helps with your MYO/Starter designs!

Evrende Featured By Owner Sep 11, 2017 Digital Artist

I appreciate those additional notes. I think they will prove very useful for clarifying design limitations. Thank you!

lagenerala Featured By Owner Sep 5, 2017 Student General Artist

Pretty awesome.

Cestera Featured By Owner Sep 2, 2017

Is there a guide on what type of sizes esk comes in? Because I claimed one from the nursery saying it's a ground level size so how big is it then?

witherlings Featured By Owner Sep 3, 2017

it is open to interpretation

safyia110 Featured By Owner Aug 31, 2017 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I love this species so much already! I want one sooo bad! Love the reference; it gives so much information! ^^

Zornology Featured By Owner Aug 31, 2017 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Are the little mushroom esks the only exception to the 3 toe rule or do they have 3 little toes too lol

witherlings Featured By Owner Sep 1, 2017

hehe I'd say they have three toes that are just sort of blobbed together

Kyuuyula Featured By Owner Aug 31, 2017 Hobbyist General Artist

Gorgeous new guide! I'm happy about the floating collection stuff, makes it easier to place them on my dreamies (because they would look weird all placed on the back). Thanks so much for the updates~. <3

Just a question, what type of Familiar add-on would we need to get sea anemones? (I'm not sure what they clasify as. Small familiar or small swarm...)
