Description Thank you all for entering the contest. I was so happy to see all of the amazing entries. Please Read the journal below to see the winners and a surprise for everyone who participated.
MYO KURUXU WINNERS(Read the whole thing so you don't miss out on a surprise for everyone)
Oh my goodness there are so many amazing Kuruxu! The cool thing is that each Kuruxu is so different and unique from each other. I am especially happy to tell you that everyone followed the species guidelines. Yay! So now you should make more art of your Kuruxu, give them a name and an elemental affinity too.
You should share the art of your Kuruxu on SugarSugarGalaxy for everyone to see. I think I've fixed the submission glitch, so you should be able to submit to the group now.
I'm going to be posting an art prompt in SugarSugarGalaxy to inspire you in drawing your Kuruxu. I am also going to be posting a reference on the kinds of Dwellings that Kuruxu live in, to help flesh them out. If you have questions just ask. Your questions will help me develop a more deep and meaningful species.
Honestly I have a strong urge to draw all of the Kuruxu, but there are so many I don't think I'll be able to compl

This Contest is Closed
I would like to invite you all to participate in this contest! For this contest you get to design and draw your own Kuruxu. Please check out the guide above. (These are mountain dwelling Kuruxu)

(Update) I made a group for the Kuruxu and my other original species. Join the group, pick an elemental affinity, and sometime I'll update it with information about the world of SugarSugarGalaxy, that they live in. You can also help flesh it out by creating art and stories of you Kuruxu.

Everyone who enters will keep their design as an official Kuruxu!

In the description, make sure to link to this contest.
Comment below with a link to your entry.
I will add your entry to the MYO Kuruxu Contest Folder

Can I Sell My Design After the Contest?
No you can't sell it, but you can trade it.

Can I Make Lots of Kuruxu to Sell?
No, this is a closed species, and I would be deeply hurt if you were to claim the species as your own, and make adoptable out of it. This contest is unusual, because I am basically opening up the species so everyone can make one of their own. Its like a gift. Please be kind, and remember that it is hard to come up with a new species.

I added your Kuruxu to the contest folder. Seriously, I never imagined a Kuruxu could look so serene. You totally shouldn't doubt your abilities.

Can the ears be any length as long as one pair is shorter than the other?

Sharkysaur In reply to Ink-Jam [2014-07-31 03:39:31 +0000 UTC]

Its fine if you want to make them change the length of the ears, as long as they don't become extremely long. I would say that the maximust length could be half an ear length longer than in the example. Does that make sense?

Ink-Jam In reply to Sharkysaur [2014-07-31 03:50:42 +0000 UTC]

Yep! c: That sounds fine! And just to make sure, can we change how it looks in any way as long as it stays close to the design shown? Or are ears hands off 100%?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Sharkysaur In reply to Ink-Jam [2014-07-31 04:02:25 +0000 UTC]

I haven't thought much about how the ears could be altered. I think as long as it resemble the species in the end, its fine to experiment. I think as long as you have 2 ears of different lengths  that are more or less sticking up, it will be fine. You could make them smooth or spikey, slightly curled, fatter... I'm not sure what you have in mind.

Good Question. No, they do not have horns.

I wish I knew how to advertise this.
I really want to see a lot of cool Kuruxu.
Can someone help me advertise this?

LuckyKitzy In reply to Sharkysaur [2014-07-31 03:55:20 +0000 UTC]

Well, first thing you could do is make a journal so your watchers (and anyone who stalks the Journals section for contests  ) will know about the contest.

And you could also ask some adopt groups to advertise it as well.  

Cute species by the way!   I might enter if I get the time.
