Welcome to Gaia! ::

Y'all remember the 2012 S.P.L.A.S.H. Soquili Summer Event? That. crying
I'd LOVE a tropical tiki soquili fitting in with that event's theme!!!

Edit Level: Unedited
Soquili Species: CC from one or combination of: angeni, wind, kirin, regular, hippogryph, unicorn, kelpie, 'suti... (please avoid water x sky mixes, such as kelpie-hippo, and please avoid mers!)
Body Build: Regular
Leg Up?: Avoid fem legup, otherwise CC
Bent Neck?: Avoid fem bent neck, otherwise CC
Base: CC
Starting Stage: CC (adult is good!)
Concept Origin: Soquili Event Theme - 2012! Tropical, tiki, polynesian, luau...
Colorist Preferences: Any!
WIPs Needed?: I loooooove seeing them! But no need to check in with me <3

Note -- I'm really feeling the nostalgia here, so I'd prefer OG template styles, like those used in the 2012 event! (I.e., I prefer to avoid the newer templates, new poses, or any pose splicing, etc...) I would prefer minimal to no splicing, like in ye olden days!

-- Colors & Markings --
Body: CC based on event theme!
Face: Colors CC based on event theme!
Please avoid templates that change the face shape or brows, eg, hippo beak, 'suti jaw, roman nose, fierce kelpie or kalona face, new mouth/eyebrow template pack, etc.
I like the default expression +/- half-lidded eyes or the thick lashes!
Mane: Colors CC based on theme!
If hair -- I prefer Ryuu's Windblown template! Otherwise I like Moxxiie's Wavy/Crimped style, Chibizoo's Wild mane, or Agneza's and Ryuu's other templates (Braid, Long, Medium, Wild, Curly)
If feathers -- I prefer the regular or cockatoo, ideally combined with hair. Either feather pack is fine but I prefer the traditional pack, with limited use; less is more! Perky usdia are ok too!
Tail: If hair or feathers -- colors & style matching the mane! For feathers, I prefer the template pack above, or the display, regular, or closed peacock train tails.
If kelpi? -- please see "fin" section below!
If uni? -- any tail style!
If kirin? -- either the original or OG alt tail!
If 'suti -- bare teal, scales tail, or stinger club (either spiked or smooth)!
Maybe long (the one trailing on the ground) gator tail...?
Hooves/Fetlocks: CC from: the regular/OG feet, or angeni, or uni, or kirin (either foot style!), or canine paws, or hippo claws (2 or 4 claws are both great! but legdown only pls if using hippo claws! I like all the claw addons like the foot-scales and feather fetlocks too!), 'suti feet and the 'suti raptor-claw add-ons are good too! I like the stallion alt fetlocks by Ameh. If using alt felocks on mare base, please splice the stallion alt onto the fem base (the mare alt fetlocks are a different style).
Reference Image(s): (Optional) Tropical moodboard I made. Tropical plants/flowers, animals & birds & conures & peacocks, beachy colors, sky blues, ocean oclors, bright colors, or pastels on natural browns, tribal tattoo-like markings (polynesian-inspired octopus or stingray or hammerhead shark tats?), tropical fish colors, volcanic colors and markings, etc are all good! I like pinks, aquas/teals, water reflections, scale markings, floral markings, natural markings, hawaiian shaved ice, shells, coral reefs! I love the SPLASH event theme, be free!

-- Physical Breed Traits --
Horn(s): CC if present! Can be without horn, otherwise CC from OG uni classical straight spiral, or 'suti branched, looped, or scaled horns. No spikes. Color CC!
Wings: CC if present! Color CC!
If angeni -- Any! I somehat prefer style 1 wings over style 2.
If wind -- I prefer the heron template, but dove or eagle would also be lovely!
If 'suti -- I prefer the lifted wings!
If flutter -- please only use the fantasy wings!
If hippo -- please only use the OG falcon wings!
Fins: CC if present! Note: I prefer that air/water themes don't mix (ex, avoid kelpi-wind or kelpi-angeni), but I like water x land (eg, kelpi-kirin).
If present -- CC from: eel templates, deep-sea, or fierce kelpi (excluding the frown/facial expression). Maybe shark tail could work?
Scales: CC if any! Any kirin scale style! For 'suti, I like the whole scale pack.
