Lioden style has certain traits like realistic or at least semi-realistic style and anatomy, subtle shading, pencil-like lineart and a lot of detail. We need artists to try and blend in with our style in order to match the scene/art.

We do not nitpick. We want to explain, straight to the point, why your decor is not matching, and if possible, give tips on what to improve.
I'm just trying to provide as much hints and explanations how to fit Lioden's style better. I do realise it is hard, so I will do my best to help.

I've been there, I had to match many sim sites before and learn their styles, in order to have accessories/decors and I eventually got hired! yay.

So, this thread here is for this purpose:
Is your decor keeping with Lioden's requirements? It's best to know BEFORE you spend money and buy the Decor Maker, right?

Paste it here (or if you're shy, PM me) and I will PM you with explanations, WIP tips, or suggestions to change style or artist (unfortunately some artists know only "Pixelart" etc and they rarely will adjust fast enough to match).

Hopefully this one is acceptable. ^^ I will edit it to make it look more realistic if needed. :D

So- I wanted a shaman thing to be done, a decor to give to infertile lionesses to be cool..but I didn't like the path I was going. This is a very very rough depiction of what I'm going for. I have a rather cartoony style- so I was wondering if this would be realistic enough. C:

For the finished product I'm thinking more pelt and less fluffy furs, because it makes her look like she has a mane. <_>

Since I'm a firm believer in checking with staff before moving on to asking about interest from users... What's your opinion Xylax?

While this is by no means finished (I still have yet to touch the shading or finalize colors), I wanted to make sure a decor like this would be permitted before I spent a long time with fur texturing ovo I believe it's different enough to current mane mutes, but I wanted to be certain~

Would also appreciate any advice on the lines - I do want to get them closer to LD standard, as well as any tips on shading the fur ovo (Currently planning on darkening the colors and texturing with lighter ones on a couple different layers). Thanks for your time, Xy~

I'm working on this decor item and figured I better check here before I get too much further. I noticed all the custom decors I've seen are on the smaller side and now I'm paranoid that there might be some size limit that I didn't see somewhere? I'm also not sure where the line is drawn when it comes to fantasy creatures like this? I know the site wants to maintain a realistic setting. Are dragons okay in custom decor?

Did I contact you? I have a memory we talked about this xD Xy

I read the rules, I bought it, want to do it, but not exactly sure how. What I want to do is a little metal wrapping on a paw or tail. I have the image in my mind, not sure how to transfer that onto a lion.

EDIT:
here is the image:
