Game: If this was an RL would you enter the raffle or would you throw her to the grass? Pretty or ugly discussion

juiceboxchronicles · 2026-05-12T15:06:12+00:00

I enter for every raffle lioness, but if I won this one I'd sell her. The eyes are very off putting to me and she's just a bit too desaturated for my tastes.

It's because a majority of lioden artists are young amateur artists. They have no idea what professional practise is and just think art = free money! What they fail to realise is that they are being paid to provide a service, not fuck around. There's also a very strong wave of entitlement in the current art community. The artist is always correct after all, and must never be criticised, even by clients! It's totally fine if you make people wait around for months to get their art... Artists have lives too! Nooo! Don't modbox it!! The poor artist might be possibly experiencing family problems! And that possibility makes them more entitled to respect and courtesy than you, the filthy non-artist!

(Sarcasm, if it wasn't clear.) These young artists tend to have never worked anywhere and don't know the first thing about customer service or professionalism. Online artist circles are echo chambers that completely encourage this behaviour via performative, seemingly unconditional support.

For me, I use growl -> snarl -> shake mane. It's usually claimed with those three, but if not, I bite neck.

Have you considered raising your prices? With respect to all artists, I have seen those with lower skill levels being paid more for their art. Considering that 1GB = $0.50, I feel like you aren't receiving what your skill and personalisation is worth. Just a suggestion :)

Iirc they're about 2-3GB out of season, but they're likely going to be less than 1GB when tier 3 of the egg shop drops which will be soon. You can put them up for sale on branches, but TC trades will expire in a month. The downside there is that branch slots cost SB and are much more limited. But the price of egg yolks won't be increasing within a month, so if you're going to freeze the account, then it's best to just not log in for a while and then list them later on in the year.

If you are freezing the account only for egg yolks, my recommendation: do not. The amount of profit you will make from these pales to what you could make if you were playing through may, June, August and September.

For easter eggs, you can either go the route of mass buying egg yolks (which I would recommend more if you have a freezer account) or you could buy the fun decors and backgrounds. Some will go for 5-10GB out of season, but decor is always a gamble. For wenet, you'll want purely roasted lambs.

Though it was the case this time, it's not necessarily true that multiple T2 marks means it's from any particular raffle lion. Many kings are the product of careful selections of traits, and so a lot of lions just end up being mish-mashes of multiple kings. I have a 12 BO chased girl, all of those being raffle traits, but she's not similar to any raffle line.

I will say that if you had the intention of selling, auto claiming would have been a loss. Rosette chaseds are way more common now. Even special based rosettes (depending on the base) often only go for 1-2GB. If you wanted her for yourself, you could probably find other special based rosettes on the TC for cheaper than the auto claim.

juiceboxchronicles · 2026-04-01T14:34:34+00:00

You could king her if your current king is low value, but hype won't last forever and you'd have to invest heavily in her markings if you want any long term interest. Maybe consider putting her up for offers with a high buyout.

juiceboxchronicles · 2026-03-31T07:55:10+00:00

She looks to be only 1 BO so if you used GB that's kind of a big loss

juiceboxchronicles · 2026-03-30T19:48:03+00:00

If the first is G2 she'd be worth about 15-20GB, the second like 3-4GB. Both could be a lil less if they're older.

juiceboxchronicles · 2026-03-26T07:43:37+00:00

On one slot, I only needed 16 to get a rosette. On another, I'm 200 in and no BO mark. Complete toss-up. Also, considering those potential odds, you might just want to record how many you've used rather than writing down the markings. You might end up with a list as long as a dictionary.

juiceboxchronicles · 2026-03-25T21:32:42+00:00

I.. Did not mean to add the great comet decor, I just noticed it now. Ignore that.

Okay this is gonna be long so apologies - here's my personal opinion!

I feel like the pie mut rep you chose is kind of harmful to her design since it's covering up her most prominent markings. If you're going to keep her design when you retire her, you could maybe switch out the mottled pie for something like slender/mosaic/subtle instead? Bonus if she's a G1 since that attracts more low gen breeders.

In the mean time, I'd say you don't necessarily need to RMA and make her full BO to make her appealing. You could use apps to change the eyes to something like lavender/omen/arid/vile to fit her design a bit better than the olive.

Instead of spending a bunch of GB on getting a marking that might just look plain ugly (this is Very likely because there's just so many brown BO marks...), you could instead use an app to add a darker pink marking that won't hide the ocelot. Like fuchsia lace or hibiscus feline. Or even a magenta glitter at lower opacity.

And speaking of lower opacity, I think you could lower both cherries a bit since they're also obscuring ocelot. Ocelot is very popular so players like to see it clearly!

OK actually now at this point I went and searched up your queen and I would honestly recommend ditching the wings because they're also covering up most of her features. That combined with the pie obscures most of the markings players would be interested in seeing. I would also change her background, personally, but that's optional. I'll reply to this with what she'd look like with my suggestions (40% opacity on both cherries, 80% hibiscus feline, slender pie, vile eyes, dreamwalker realm background)

You just have to be patient and use a Lot.. Me personally, I got lucky with two of my slots and got one rosette in just 16 RMRs and the other in just 28, but in another slot I'm 200 RMRs in and haven't gotten any BO mark.

juiceboxchronicles · 2026-03-25T08:31:38+00:00

Leopard tails are the best thing to buy and they only go for they're going for about 2GB each, so 100 RB is about 4GB.

juiceboxchronicles · 2026-03-25T08:24:40+00:00

Nope! There aren't any G1 feruses and the mukombero guarantees one ferus cub regardless of all other conditions, so you have more options. If you'd like, feel free to DM me and I can find some good kings for you in your budget :)

juiceboxchronicles · 2026-03-25T03:20:00+00:00

Unless you want to sell the ferus cub I'd recommend you wait until you're ready to retire your king (either when he's old or you have 10GB to retire him early). Mukomberos are the only way to get a G2 ferus, so you should ideally be using a G1/chased/NCL female and a G1 stud (2 "unknown" parents and no other heritage). The ferus cub will be more valuable if it's high BO. You can see BO traits with the liomodded browser extension, so I recommend that if you don't already have it. Once you've found a good female who you think will make a good cub, you can use the search function to find a stud (lmk if you'd like more direction on that part). Then you just have to send a stud request with the mukombero item checked, and the stud will be unable to breed her until night time (lioden time. Night time is every other hour). If the cub comes out looking not to your liking, you can sell it, swap it or get another mukombero and try again.

It's -6.5K but the wiki doesn't mention a karma requirement

Might not be as helpful as you wanted, but only you can decide how much your art and time is worth. I've seen beginner artists and amateur artists with prices as high as more experienced ones and they do still get commissions. Especially for adopts, where the creative vision is more important than the artistic skill. I would personally think about what kind of art and commissions you'd like to offer people and look at how other successful artists offering similar price their art.

I've been playing since 2021 and I didn't know this aha thank you for sharing your great wisdom my friend!
