Stop The Similar Themed!
-
As a frequent lurker, I see this type of comment time & time again, after every new set of themed are released:
"This themed is nice, but it looks so similar to an existing themed"
I, & clearly many others, want this to stop.
The admins are the ones picking themes.
The designers/players are the ones making the themes.
I understand that they (both designers & admins) typically don't have the time to check if the designs are similar to existing themed.
I will be ranking them on this scale: (With nuance) 1 - Unique
2 - Similar if you squint
3 - Somewhat similar
4 - Similar, but you could maybe get away with it
5 - Too close for comfort
-
Extra notes: -To make it ABUNDANTLY clear, I am NOT ranking your design on how good it looks, I am ranking it on the similarity to existing themed.
-I may add additional comments.
-Even if I rank a design a 1, I will still try to find any remotely similar themes.
-If there are leaderboards going on, I will probably not respond until they are over.
-For a full list, it takes me ~3-4 hrs. So it may take me a while to reply.

Of course, you may disagree with my assessment, & that's ok!
Ultimately it is your decision as to what you do with your designs.
Please note that I will NOT be doing *full checks for the following species:
You may submit them, however I may miss some.
As such, I'll be putting a '?' next to the number because I don't know for certain :P
(Unless there's an option to change the matching display traits.)
**Luffox
Lunemara
Puffadore
Sylvorpa
*A full check goes as such: Load your design > match the traits to codex > look through codex.
However for these it's: Load your design > look through codex using no traits > do my best to gauge via name / base colors .
**Out of the listed, Luffs are the ones I'm most familiar with.
I will also be EXCLUDING Majestic themes, because player designed majs are rare & typically gets edited if picked.
You may either copy & paste your design(s), or quote them.
Don't forget to ping me!
& Know that you might get pinged more than once, as I may run out of text space.
Aurleon - 2.5
Bejeweled Arcanist, Floating Lanterns, Prismatic Night
the fact that 2 are my aurls... it's bound to happen but >///<
Bulbori - 1
Pink Hibiscus.
Draeyl - 2
Orion Neblua, Vivid Dawn.
Faelora - 3.5
Blazing Fireworks, Enchanted Bloom, Midsummer Nights.
My overall design is lighter than the existing themes, hence why I don't put it higher.
Ferrikki - 1
Couldn't find any.
There just aren't enough eye bleed rikkies :c
Griffi - 1.5
Coconut Oasis, Frost Touched.
Kelpari - 1
Shimmering Sea.
Lighira - 1.5
Muddy Water, Sacred Spellbook.
Luffox - 2
Easter Egg Bunny, Spring Sorbet, Snowflake Stardust.
Qitari - 4.5
Angelic Prancing, Cosmic Witch, Ghostly Hallows, Lonely Moon.
While technically "distinct" in certain aspects (the shade of blues, G1 being notably darker than C2, colors for the mane), regardless, I'll be scrapping this design now that I see them all together like this.
Ryori - 1
Couldn't find any eye bleed ryos either :P
(The DoD & TB ryos I considered, but it's just the C3. Even then my ryo has more of a green-blue C3.
The bright blue base is hard to looks past.)
Sylvorpa - 4?
Spring Water.
It's like a darker ver of the existing theme.
Vulnyx - 2
Angel's Embrace, Spring Blossom.
Zolnixi - 1
Again, no eye bleeds to be seen.
