Eldsona Update

I want to apologize for being so quiet on the forums this year, I have a lot of personal health issues to deal with.

Since I won't be doing much event art I now have time to continue with the avatars.

Bad news first: Due to coding limitations we will not be able to have bases for the other races.

Good news: I am currently working on an androgynous base as well as specific detailed items that will work with the three bases to turn them into the other races. So we will have three bases available sometime in December.

I've been reading a lot feedback and the main thing members seem to ask for are male items for the female base and female items for the male base. As well as releasing sets with the same items for both bases. Items can be different depending on the artist, but I'll try my best to make and release more sets with the same items for all three bases.

Which means that if I release dresses for the female I will also release dresses for the male and androgynous base. Or if I release a formal male set with a tuxedo I will also make them for the females and androgynous bases. The same goes for hair.

Item designs are something we're learning as we go along so thank you for your patience and feedback!

Some specific things I'm currently working on

-makeup (the same for all three bases)
-skin textures (freckles, wrinkles, scars, etc.)

If you have any suggestions for future items please feel free to leave a comment bellow.

Oh man, its unfortunate that the coding won't work for other races! Can't wait to see the gender neutral base though. <3 Super excited

When we can not have different races, can we have items that make human look like those races?
Like this item:

But more realistic and more looking like the ears are actually attached to the body?
And elvian/avian/wolfkin faces, so that our Eldsonas can mimic other races?

If that could be a solution ^^

Yes, we're working on making items to turn the three basses into the other races. (:

It sucks there's no capacity to get bases for all races, but I'm super happy you're working on items to transform the human base into the other races!
And also stoked about all the other things to come! I think you're all doing a great job with the Eldsonas, I couldn't imagine what else I'd need! :D

I also hope your health will improve soon *virtual hug*

Thank you for the update, Jen! I'm so sorry about your health issues, as I'm sure that must be very frustrating for you. We all hope you feel better as soon as you can!!

I'm stoked to hear about the androgynous base and items that are applicable for all of the bases!! I'll have so much to work with for my characters who didn't quite fit the existing bases. I'm sure that the additional items based around Eldemore's other races will be more than sufficient to let everyone create their characters with plenty of accuracy.

As it is right now, the Eldsonas label each slot as "human male" or "human female". With the update that the other races will be made from the same base, will it be able to customize what that label says? I would especially love if the gender option was customizable, since some characters on the more binary bases could by nonbinary and some characters on the androgynous base could be one of the binary genders.

Once again, we greatly appreciate the update!!! I hope you're feeling better soon, and we understand taking time to focus on your own health when you need to. <3

@Sphye - Yes,as far as I know, members will be able to customize names in the future.The current labels are so that Zayin can keep track of what items go with what base. We're still testing things out. (:

And thank you for all the well wishes everyone! I really appreciate it.
