Sagan 4 Forum [Menu]

As was previously announced, we've added a new forum skin based on Protohydroia Octherma. We're looking to add more skins with different colors, but with both of Sagan 4's "mascots" now having their own skins, any additional choices by the staff team will probably be biased. So, we're looking for member input!

Please nominate some organisms that you would like to see made into forum themes by commenting on this thread.

Rules:

• You may only nominate up to 4 organisms--2 from Sagan 4 Alpha and 2 from Sagan 4 Beta.
• You cannot nominate your own species.
• Please don't nominate organisms that were already nominated - this doesn't increase their chances of winning, it just wastes a nomination.

Organisms are only qualified if they meet these requirements:

• The creator of the species is present in the community or otherwise easily contacted for permission to alter their artwork for this purpose.
• The species is from before Alpha Week 27 or Beta Week 4 (to reduce "new stuff bias")
• The organism can still be identified when it or its head (or other recognizable feature) is cropped and resized to be 40 pixels tall; try to select organisms that are stout or have distinct recognizable faces, leaves, or flowers.

In 2 weeks, we will sort through all nominations to ensure they qualify and hold a vote. The 2 organisms from each timeline with the most votes will have forum skins made based on them.

Kugard, perhaps as a pastel blue sort of skin with dark purple headers (or the other way around)

Corpse Spardi


Flune? (Whichever one rolls up into a little ball)

Cloud Skysnapper (the one with the big crescent-shaped wings splayed out, I think that’s its name)

Alpha nominations:

Planda - I mean, come on, everyone knows about the planda. It also has a memorable design and nice colors, good for a pastel theme with some saturated highlights.

Obsidian Shrub - Black flora in general have an elegant form, though I had to look for one that was stout and not phallic. It would make for a more typical blue-black dark theme with gold highlights, I think. The spore pod would work as forum icons, with the gold indicating a new post.

Beta nominations:

Carrkin - Obligatory crab theme.

Shardruby - Tbh I'm biased because this is one of my favorite crystals in Beta. Red and burnt orange color scheme.

I'd have nominated some kind of basal wormstem since they're really distinctly beta-specific but...they're all so long and skinny 😓

Alpha:

Fraboohorn


Wraith Capiri



Beta:

Leslilstar


Gobbob

Idk any beta species, but I nominate the Dark Sauceback and the Tail Walker. The Dark Sauceback in particular I think would make for an excellent "Dark Mode"

Beta:gillstar, cause it's cute and looks good for a icon.
Stinzerstar, cause it's the ancestor of a iconic line of fauna in beta.

Because I completely forgot about this because of irl stuff, I'm giving 24 more hours for any last minute nominations.

Nominations are now closed. I will post a poll once they've been sorted through for qualification.
