◕ DIVENKAS CREATION RULES ◕
╰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╯
You can create a Divenka for sure, but first you must read the rules here :
1. Read the F.A.Q and see the species reference sheet for more information about them.
2. To create your Divenka you can : - Use the free template that you can find in the gallery : Female - Male (all infos about edits are on the submissions)
- Draw yourself your own divenka,
- Buy me an adoptable divenka design
- Ask for a custom divenka design commission drawn by me
- Ask someone else to draw a divenka design for you (for free, trade accepted, if you want to pay for it, please prefer giving the monies to the species creator ;)
3. If you made the design yourself, with the template or note me with some words about your character. Mostly what adaptation and mutations the divenka had. And of course, a picture.
4. If the design is fitting the divenka species, I will give you a confirmed divenka number and the right to use the character as yours. You can't use your character if I stated that she/he is not representative of the species and made some changes to prevent that. It also means that you can't commission any form of art for this character if I didn't approved it. ( If you bought me a custom or adoptable divenka, your character is of course automatically accepted and registered)
5. Congratz you own now your Divenka creature !! Feel free to use it as you want, you can ask commissions of this character and have fun with it.
As long as you add "Species©Shalinka" or that you specify that I'm the owner and creator of the Divenkas on EACH of your pictures or submission.
6. No profit can be done with divenkas, it means that you can resell your character if you bought it at first (to me) at the same price or lower. Your own divenka designs can be adopted but just for free or art exchange ONLY.
If you are selling prints with divenkas characters I will be glad to be informed, and asked the permission. Drawing a divenka and selling the print is a "fanart" of my own species in some sort so I want to chat a bit more about this possibility.
Thanks a lot !

So you want people to actually go through the effort of making their own and even writing info about it...
but then if you don't like it for whatever reason, they are required to throw it away/not use the character/edit it to your liking..?
Serious advice: Just make it a closed species if you care this much. Having to pay money would be preferable to these ridiculous demands and inevitable heartache.. :/
honestly kind of messed up.
In the next days I will do adoptables and custom divenka designs.I found this kinda unfair to only open divenkas to people with money. But if you think I'm not respectful or else doing this I will may close the specie. Don't care. It's more money for me. But ask to people who already designed their divenkas for days .... I just wanted to not be selfish when people asked me for free template.
Please understand that I want to share my creation but protect it in the same way. But I'm very open with concepts, you just have to write a sentence about him/her. Do your design and send it to me. If people just have to do that to have a chance to own a divenka for free... it's not a big effort to me.
Thanks for your point of view.
The whole idea is that this is a Divenka template, not a generic anthro template to create your own character. I feel Shalinka's being extremely generous allowing users who want their own divenka to create one for free, and I believe it's entirely fair to ask that users send their concepts to her so she can ensure they meet the species guidelines. I really just think its to prevent people giving it a dog nose, wings, making it a shadow beast and calling it a Divenka. If they create that design and Shalinka says it does not meet the requirements of the species they can always use their new character for something else, and have a go at making a new Divenka.
Besides, if she runs into trouble with users complaining that their designs got rejected she can always make it a closed species at a later date.
Just my opinion.
At the moment I didn't refused any divenka at all, and didn't asked change to any details of a homemade divenka I saw :3
The idea of keeping the lineage of these creatures pure is just like owning a pure breed dog and Shalinka is just attempting to keep the lines as pure as possible. From what I was reading these creatures are part Bovine, part dragon, Part Kirin... so to suddenly have a Sergal, shark or other things thrown in would show major deviation from the original design and breed, no longer a Divenka but something entirely different! Congrats you just created a NEW NEW species.
I can totally understand where both sides are coming from but when you look at it from a "species" or "breed" specific stand point it is a bit more clear and understandable.
It's totally ok to have wings on a divenka ^w^ feel free to show me if you draw /plan something !
(and I like all artists <3)
