Right. So about two weeks or so ago I uploaded a reference for my Dolun species: I'd promised to show some basic types and colors, so tada! Here they are.

Now, being an open species, you're more than welcome to create your own character. You can get super creative (hold the sparkles and retina burning colors, please?) or you can go all out "canon". Maybe you'll create your own type. Whatever the result, if you post it, I'd very much like to see what you come up with, so send me a link!

So for those of you who may want to know more specifics that I couldn't fit on the sheet:

Eye colors are usually sex-linked: Males have darker eyes that are less intense in hue and are usually anywhere from dark brown, to soft copper, to bronze, to brownish green. Some may even have grey eyes, but that is more unusual. Females, on the other hand, will have brighter and more vivid hues, from deep copper red, intense gold, vibrant green and even blue.

Males normally tend to be darker than females and with less white. That rule can be broken, though. Additionally, a Dolun's muzzle is almost always white: In rare cases, it may be marked with a darker "snip" marking or be another color entirely.

Manes are normally one of the darker points on a Dolun's body. In the case of the largest type, however, individuals may show lighter hair tips that may extend close to the roots.

Tail tips are made to be distinctive, as they are a form of noiseless communication between herdmates. (Think whitetailed deer.) If the Dolun is a darker color, the tail will be dark with a white tip/underside. If the Dolun is paler, the tail tip will be a contrasting darker hue (often retaining pale hair tips).

The tips of the ears are almost always dark. In natural types, females also have a white patch at the base of each horn.

And if nothing else, maybe you'll create a Dolun which was specifically bred for a color/body/horn type.

Oh! And don't forget, you could have an albino if you'd like.

I've said enough. Can you tell that I really like neutral colors?

Questions, critiques, comments, etc? Go right ahead, I'll try my best to get back to you!
