??? Sheepsys Breeding Guide ???

Appearance
__________________

The appearance of your bred Sheepsy depends entirely on that of its parents. Consider several things when breeding:

???Color: The colors of the parents mixed together will often lead to the colors of the baby. The exception is when a parent has an outstanding or unusual trait (see below).

???Outstanding or Unusual Traits: If one parent has wings, the baby will have wings. If you breed that new Sheepsy with one without wings, and their baby with another without wings... over time, the wings will becomes smaller and eventually disappear. To keep wings in the family, you'd have to find another Sheepsy with wings to breed with.

???Basic vs LE/LA'd/Custom: LE/LA'd/Custom traits are dominant. If you breed a Galactic Gala (LE) with a Beau Beau (Basic) the Galactic Gala's traits will have a dominant advantage. If you breed a Basic with a Basic, both parents will have 50/50 genes.

???Type: See below.

Type & Name
_________
Type is a new feature that decides both .
Each line (Basic or LE/LA'd) and each custom or custom set has a set type. Examples are Galactic for Galactic Gala, Princess for Beau Beau/Beau Beau II: Rendezvous, and Splattered for the Easter LA Watercolor. A bred baby carries the type of both parents until (through generations) one type becomes overdominant (3 of one type in a row).
Ex:
Princess + Princess= Princess (2 princess)
(that princess) + Galactic = GalacticPrincess (2 princess : 1 galactic)
GalacticPrincess + Galactic = GalacticPrincess (2 princess : 2 galactic)
GalacticPrincess + Galactic = Galactic (3 galactic : 2 princess)

Overdominant types can be seen through generations.

Name depends on type. Names are always creative, but the baby will always be named with type and parental history combined. Some are more obvious than others. For example, "Prince Chimera the RoyalSheepsy" (King Baaspiner the RoyalSheepsy + Queen Elebaa the RoyalSheepsy, based on a lion king and dragon queen) comes from a king and queen's son being a prince, and a chimera has the head of a lion and tail of a dragon.
However, "Neptune the GalacticPrincess" (Andromeda the GalacticSheepsy + Juliette Rose the PrincessSheepsy) may not make so much sense at first. The truth to this name? Lolita/Bea

reminders:
you can only breed adults with adults (no breeding unevolved bows)
both parties own a bred Sheepsy, but either or both can pay for it.

hiya! graphics is, in my opinion, the best way to make money on marapets! you guys are in this for the cash, right? don't lie.

i've been doin' this for a while, and i'd say i make some good money off of it, so i thought i'd share some tips with you!

*programs*

sai or photoshop? even if you only have access to photoshop elements, photoshop tops it for me. sai is cool too, but it's pretty limited.
if you only have access to microsoft paint or you don't have a tablet, either learn to pixel, or scan your traditional work. it's really, really hard to make good digital art with a mouse and/or paint.

you can download sai here: sai.detstwo.com
you can download photoshop elements (trial) here: www.adobe.com

*i can't draw, but i really want to!*

tutorials for pretty much everything:

make something and ask for critique either on this board or through an artist whose work you admire. c:

*i'm not getting as much money as i'd like for my work!*
in the next few posts i'm going to give some tips on how you can maximize your profits in different areas of art![/b]


*ADOPTABLES*

-KNOW YOUR MARKET. this is HUGE. HUGE HUGE HUGE. don't auction, and avoid selling, something so specific that only a few people would want it-- for example, don't try to auction hungry games adoptables, because only the people that REALLY like hunger games AND just so happen to be online will buy it. sell something lots of people can find appealing-- dogs and cats are VERY popular, as are foxes, wolves, horses, rabbits, and teddy bears. observe what sells well in the graphics forum.

-don't make it in microsoft paint
dont

-don't sell it in boring colors like lime green, yellow, red, and blue. that's really boring. sell it in colors like tea green, mustard yellow, brick red, and baby blue. in other words, not the BRIGHT AS HECK ON
