Description This is a more detailed and precise explanation to snyail appearances, using do's and don'ts!

The do's is the information that's always been available for basic snyail anatomy, however the don'ts are a more recent addition! The don'ts were compiled from all of the snyail designs I've seen since the species was created, and these were the commonly used features that I settled on not being snyail like, based on the existing guidelines as well general species aesthetic. 

If you currently have snyails with features from the don't section, don't fret!! Just be aware of the design issues, and if you redraw the design, do what you can to fix it up! You're also welcome to convert designs that stray too far into the don't section to a non-snyail character!

This information can also now be found on the original guidelines, so its easily accessible:



Thanks for understanding, I hope these more in depth details will help everyone create some truly snyaily snyails in the future!!!

As a final note, for those who have issues or difficulties drawing snyail anatomy, theres official bases to use! There will be more diverse body type bases out soon, too!

After seeing this, I wasn't sure if the longer feelers on my girl were alright, or if I'd have to get rid of them?
