sorry about that little hiatus! I'm now fully on vacation and ready to pump through some work. o^o9 i've also got some Hostie updates coming soon!

seriously, thanks a BUNCH for your guys' patience. last semester pretty much destroyed me but i've been rebuilt, we had the technology
a.k.a. I'm doing way better now

my absence during the last couple days has been more due to this guy:

his name is Neptune and I adopted him on the 20th and I would die for him

I've just got him to tolerate my tablet without Constantly trying to eat it so time to draw

An Update

5 min read
these are rare for me I know

Just wanted to check in regarding my activity. I've been trying to be more active lately, but I'm doing my second student film this semester which is taking up a huge chunk of my time, definitely more than I expected based on last year's. Combined with other homework, I don't get much time to myself, and I'm going to be sparse/slow because of it- but I wanna let you guys know I'm still working on commissions and more Hosties stuff in the meantime. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten anything!

Of course, you're always welcome to contact me to check in and ask for WIPs- I understand the wait can be a pain and I appreciate your guys' patience with me a ton. Once December hits, I'll have WAY more free time.

That said, I realized I've never actually.. shown my school animation stuff here. Which is kinda ridiculous considering I spend hours every day working on it jhjghv
So here's a WIP of my 3rd year film!



Thanks for reading! November's going to be a rocky month but I hope to get back to you real soon.

❖ DESIGN GUIDE

Here's a more in depth guide for designing MYOs! Feel free to leave a comment or note me ( EmpurrorMooks ) at any point in your design process if you have any questions!

◗ CHOSEN FOOD

Try to avoid duplicates! You can make a food that has been done before, but it will be judged more critically to ensure it’s markedly unique from any other Hosties with the same food.
Here's the nitty-gritty details if you're unsure about what trait a food falls under!

Simple

A Simple food is an ingredient in it's most basic form, or a food that cannot easily be separated into its different ingredients. 
  • Most fruits, vegetables, and meats are Simple.
  • Food like a sugar cookie is Simple. Although its made of many ingredients (flour, egg, sugar), none of those are visible in the design. You can only use the basic cookie as a design element.
  • Seasoning doesn't count towards making a food complex. For example, a salted pretzel or BBQ seasoned potato chip would both count as Simple.

Complex

Complex foods are made of multiple ingredients that are visible in the design. Complex foods have multiple clearly distinct parts, and therefore, multiple design elements.
Here are some examples of Complex foods:
  • PB&J Sandwich = Peanut Butter + Jelly + Bread
  • Nachos = Tortilla chips + Nacho cheese
  • Cupcake = Cake + Frosting
  • Hamburger = Bun + Burger

Liquid

Pretty self-explanatory. While some foods can be pretty blurry, just remember if you could drink it with a straw or couldn't hold it in your hand without it dripping through your fingers, it's probably a Liquid.
  • Drinks, soups, and stews count as Liquids.
  • Sauces and condiments also count as Liquid.
  • Foods that can melt (such as ice cream or butter) are not Liquid unless they are specifically in melted form.

Glutton

Glutton Hosties can have multiple complex foods, or a complex food with a simple food.

◗ BREED

Because Breed is based on the flavor of the Hostie's chosen food, there is a little leeway with it. Ex. A Lemondrop Hostie could be Sweet or Sour. Bacon could be Salty or Savory.
Just make sure the breed makes sense! For example, that Lemondrop Hostie couldn't be Spicy, and Bacon couldn't be Sour. Also remember that even if a food contains things like salt or sugar, it doesn't automatically make them that breed. Chocolate chip cookies contain salt, but they don't taste salty so they couldn't be Salty breed.
If you've never had a certain food and don't know what it tastes like, please look it up to double check!

◗ TRAITS

Use the Rarity Calculator to make sure the hostie's traits work together before drawing!
You do not need to have a breed's common trait (ie. you can have a Sour Hostie without wings).
Because size and fur length is important to some traits, keep that in mind when drawing your Hostie! Stylistic preferences shouldn't alter a Hostie's visible traits (ie. Short fur should appear short, normal horns should stay small, etc.)
Tufts should be easy to distinguish as a different length from the main fur.

◗ APPEARANCE

Above all else, the Hostie's appearance MUST be heavily influenced by their chosen food!

Color

Stick to colors that appear in the food. If the chosen food is a red apple: You could have shades of red (the fruit's skin), shades of yellow (the fruit's inside), shades of brown (the seeds/stem), or shades of green (the leaves). You couldn't have any blue markings because blue is not present in the food.
For more commercial foods, you can take colors from packaging as well, but use some discretion and make sure the Hostie is still easily recognizable as their food.
The exception to this are: Eye color, ribbon color, and hair color.
  • Eye color and ribbon color can be anything.
  • Natural hair color must match the palette, but hair can be dyed to be any color.
Patterns can be more open to interpretation, but should still take inspiration from the food.

You have free reign with:

  • Hairstyle and hair texture
  • Body shape
  • Sex and gender
  • Scars/physical defects
  • Age
  • Claws

Other notes:

  • Normal tails are prehensile. They don't need to be drawn in the default coiled position.
  • They can be a size that's abnormal for their breed as long as it's between 4'0" and 6'5".

◗ ARTWORK

  • You can use the free MYO BASE and edit it as needed!
  • Make sure elements of the design (eye color, paw pads, wings, etc.) are clearly visible. If anything is obscured (ex. Hair obscuring the horns) please draw an un-obscured version off to the side.
  • Artwork must include the Hostie's unclothed design (SFW please). You may include an outfit on the side, but it's not required.
  • Image must be easy to read with clean lines, flat colors, and a transparent background. No text outside of a signature/watermark.
  • Remember that MYO artwork will be uploaded to the HostieHub gallery.





❖ SUBMITTING YOUR MYO


Before submitting, check all of the following:

  • Do you have an empty MYO slot in the HostieHub gallery?
  • Are all the trait rarities correct? Have they been checked by the Rarity Calculator?
  • Does the Hostie resemble their chosen food?
To submit your MYO, follow the rules in the MYO APPROVAL journal at HostieHub.
