These are super badass but I also feel like I have seen adopts already created on here that look similar in body shape and style?

Edit; Here are a couple posts that I know for sure about;
Ekaises
Dragon Creature Interest Check

I know that there are more than likely plenty of adopts and species going around the world that look similar to other's art, I have just personally been seeing a lot of art threads being reported/shut down for what seems to be crazy reasons in my eyes and I just don't want anyone to get in trouble for their awesome art :/

Not trying to be rude at all, because I love anything dragon related! And the fact that the tail is longer and fan-like and the added whiskers. I will let other players throw their input at you though

And it's not rude at all! I do know what you're talking about, but I feel there are some differences aside from the overall anatomy to look at such as fins and tentacles. ^^ Maybe we could look into asking the creators of the other species about their thoughts.

So, I've never owned a species before, so I'll try not to lowball price guesses Firstly, I just want to say that I have a huge weakness to aquatic/semi-aquatic species - the bigger, the better. May be why I adored the Ghost Leviathans in Subnautica

They're gorgeous, and I love the tentacles and the fan-like tail, it already gives the impression that they'd look amazing swimming around.

✎ Would you be interested in owning one?

I'm not entirely sure what I'd do with one, except admire it, or try to sculpt it whenever I had time, but I'd definitely be interested. This would be down to the fact that I've never owned this sort of thing before - but I'd be willing to make an exception. Personally, I like it where it's optional to take part in extra things - I know some species where you have to do art for it, and have to do "X,Y, Z" things.

✎ How much would you be willing to pay for a flat sale or auction / special? How much would a custom cost?

Art takes time, so I'd be willing to pay some GB for it - I've seen other species have auctions with autobuys, so you could always go down that route and adjust prices to the interest.

As for customs, what if the price is based upon existing ones (albeit more expensive) i.e mainly common colours/markings would be cheaper than a custom containing "rare" markings and colours?

✎ If people can put up their Piras for stud prices, what should be the maximum they can set for a common or a special?

I think it'd be fine like LIoDen - no maximum, if people think it's a fair price, then they'll pay ^^ That way, the market influences, and if people are getting no interest, they'd have to lower their price.

✎ Should there be an explore option for people to find random eggs or gain new breeding traits for their existing Piras? (Would be once a day - every few days)

Again, like Lioden doesn't allow finding cubs in explore, I don't think eggs should be found there - as the creators, you still need to be able to make money! I think it'd be fine for gaining traits, though, or even items to make it more likely to pass a marking/base? Or just any item, really.

✎ Any other comments or suggestions? We'd love to hear them! ^^

Overall, whilst I am very in-experienced with species, I love the written detail put into them, and I love how they look.

@WisherWasher (I’m SO sorry I spelt it wrong) ; Thank you so much! I’ve been thinking of doing those “do xyz for a chance to win” or something of that sort but I don’t know how to organize that yet haha. All your ideas and suggestions were very helpful! :D

✎ Would you be interested in owning one?
I certainly would! They're cute and good quality. ^^ The information for them being so detailed and thought out is a big plus. All too often I get involved with a closed species only for the creator(s) to go inactive, so hopefully these would stick around!

✎ How much would you be willing to pay for a flat sale or auction / special? How much would a custom cost?
Hmm, not really sure; I'm not great with pricing. I would say around 10-15gb as a flat sale, if they're special in some way, 20-25gb? This might be high, but they're really neat haha.

✎ If people can put up their Piras for stud prices, what should be the maximum they can set for a common or a special?
This would really depend on what the price of owning one would be, so a bit of a tricky question. Also I'm not to sure what would be fair, again lol. I would say no more than 10% of the value; like if the stud cost 10gb, have the stud price at 1gb max.

✎ Should there be an explore option for people to find random eggs or gain new breeding traits for their existing Piras? (Would be once a day - every few days)
Hmm, I know it is a lot of work to have an exploring feature with interactive adopts, and it can cause the creator(s) to inactive like I mentioned before. If you think you could handle the extra work, then by all means! Sounds like fun. Maybe have random eggs as an extremely, extremely rare outcome to save you some trouble.

✎ Any other comments or suggestions? We'd love to hear them! ^^
I really like that they come on a ref, but also sending a transparent version after being purchased would be a good idea! Shading like with what you did for my commission would really make them pop, but that's totally up to you!

Yessss, 100% yes, multiple even!

✎ How much would you be willing to pay for a flat sale or auction / special? How much would a custom cost?
If you do auctions maybe start them at 1gb for common and 2-5 for specials/muts. Flats could be 5-8gb.
Customs should be atleast 10gb.

✎ If people can put up their Piras for stud prices, what should be the maximum they can set for a common or a special?
Studs should be SB for commons, maximum price should be 250sb as they're not the creator of the species, you could have a base price for breeding be 250 + the player price. Specials should be from 250sb up to 500sb, maybe 1GB if its a really rare mutation.

Yes, cool down should probably be once per week~

Not really suggestions but I'll definitely share these with my friends cus goddamn they're cool, adorable and I want some xD

aaaa thank you so much! All this is really helpful! and we appreciate it so much <3
We have most of the explore option thought out and it's just preparing everything for it! I'm certainly up for the challenge :o!

We also thought the chance of finding an egg is rare as very often for the Piranith - the eggs are eaten by predators and such when they fall out!

hmmm - I'll certainly take that into consideration!
thank you Cerberus!!

I love their tails and little tentacles, just so bootyful I think their behavior and the way they breed is very clever!

Thank you so much! Piranith is a... modification? of a reaLLY long word Cocoat found lmao
The reason why a lot of them die besides predators - is just for the fact that piras in general don't want to be burdened by carrying the eggs, but yes sometimes very caring ones do try to adopt them but that's incredibly rare!
Not only that - but the amount of time Piras spend by the bottom of the sea is little to none - so there's that as well ^^''

(pet them all)
Thank you and everyone else for the encouragement as well!!!!

I very much would! I love the ocean-fantasy feel they have to them and I could see myself riding them into battle~
✎ How much would you be willing to pay for a flat sale or auction / special? How much would a custom cost?
Depending on the design you go with(full body or the current ref style examples you have up) I'd say 10-15GB for more common designs in terms of flat sale/buyout and 20-25GB for more complex designs/mutations in terms of flat sale/buyout. A custom could range anywhere from 10-30 depending on the complexity of the design wanted
✎ If people can put up their Piras for stud prices, what should be the maximum they can set for a common or a special?
Anywhere from 1-5GB I believe

I've never been big on the whole explore thing for adopts so that's a no from me ^^'

Breeding Suggestion(because sometimes these take up a lot of work and can become overwhelming):
Maybe make the breeding cool down time a bit longer, perhaps 10-15 days? The egg hatching wait doesn't have to be that long, but again I know that sometimes the breeding factor that some adopts do can take up more time than just coming up with new designs for the adopts itself

Thanks BatMan! ^^ I agree with your points you made. 10-15 days sounds like a good cooldown period and it would give us time to work on things as well. :D
