Link: https://www.sylestia.com/forums/?thread=7941&page=3#23 Author: Inventrix Time Posted: 11/12/2013 at 3:35 PM I wasn't sure about this idea when I started, but now that I'm done I love it and want it to be reeeal. I call it Snowfall, like it was standing outside and got snowed on. This one is based on the Aurora Borealis and was entirely Savynn's idea, although I made the images. She made me post it to get credit. :P It uses color 2 (blue in this) and the gene color (cyan in this) to get the aurora effect. I also did a color-shifted example with color 2 as a dark red and the gene color as bright yellow to test combos, which is here. And here's a Lunemara gene for gene slot 2, Candy Stripes!

Amazing! I love all three! :D

Frost Fins (I couldn't get this to come out right, but its supposed to be like... frost patterns.)


Candy Stripe Fins (Inventrix def. needs some credit since her Lunemara idea inspired me. xD)


Deep Sea Glow Spots (not winter themed, but goes with my mutation ideas >_>)

Might try to make another one. Ryori - Snow Leopard Snow Leopard isn't exactly connected to Winter but it is an animal heavily associated with snow which is heavily associated with winter. Looking at pictures, I found out that snow leopard rosettes are very irregular and it doesn't seem like any individuals look quite alike. Ryori - Hearth I tried to stay in the lines but I didn't do well. I made this design thinking of fireplaces. My mother and I used to sometimes sleep in front of a fireplace on cold winter nights when I was little. I always loved how beautiful the flames were. Fireplace doesn't sound like a good name so I'm thinking "Hearth" would be better. Ryori - Starry Sky (Possible better name would be Galaxy (to fit with the Nebula)) I ended up selecting colors for the Ryori first since I wanted it to show up better. (This has been paid for so no longer qualifies for the entries.)

I would totally pay the 2k diamonds for this so we can get it right now. That is gorgeous. TwT

I did candycane gems Christmas Hat and light buld tail green and red tree looking thing around neak

Caribou for Faelora:


Emperor Penguin for Sylvorpa:

Well i did my best for this. Enjoy!! xD

I call it Ghostcrawler:

I really like the snowfall :D

I got my idea from when you get really cold or even frostbite on your ears, fingers, nose and sometimes toes! I would call it frostbite.

I got this idea from when your walking or caroling and you see lots of Christmas lights every ware (some years) and some of them are alternating red and green wile others are all red or green. I would call it Christmas lights, or Christmas tree lights, both work.

any chance you guys can upload the psds? My entries are messy

OMG, the arctic mane is soooo amazing! I hope it wins! I would love to submit some entries... But i am terrible at drawing... Would anyone mind drawing one for me? ;)
