Paleo lineart has been updated to include a nose! Just download the v2 Paleo lineart again that's located in the .psd directory linked in the news post right before this!
I've seen some doubts about how the number of offspring is selected. Slash and I developed this method and we're satisfied with it. It's what i've been using and will continue to use.
How it works is the outcome is determined by randomization with a MIN of 1 and a MAX of 50. Then, for each breeding, a random number is generated. Depending on the number the system gives me depends on the number of offspring you get. These are the values for the offspring.
1-8 is one offspring, 9-32 is two offspring, 32-45 is three offspring, 46-50 is four offspring
This method is used on both same species and hybrid breeding requests involving all pets EXCEPT Xaocs. Xaocs with another species (obviously have to be bred with a Breeding Coin) will now be bred using a MIN of 1 and a MAX of 50. If the number is either 1 or 2 you receive one Xaoc and that's it. If you receive any other number, the same values as the regular breedings are used (obviously a 3-7 still results in one offspring, but it will be the lineart of other species you've bred). SUPER RISKY MAN. If you're lucky enough to breed two Xaocs, you automatically only get one offspring. HOWEVER, unfortunately because Xaocs are so SUPER RARE OMG, in order to breed two together, you have to use a special breeding item... that um... isn't out yet.
Wait, what about Xaoc contests every month? We will continue to hold a custom contest of some sort every month, however, Xaocs will only be every three months. So come March, expect another Xaoc contest!
I think that is all I have for now, and hopefully i've cleared up some questions. Back to uploading this giant file of breedings.... :x

Interesting to know how breedings worked. I assumed it was just whatever the artist felt like--more good variations=more babbies, fewer good variations=fewer babbies, crazy ass lineart edits=one babby. I must say I'm intrigued to know that there IS a possibility of other numbers, though.
Waah, I'm sad that Xaoc contests are only every three months. :( I still have my custom I made for the initial custom Xaoc contest... I worked pretty hard on him, and had hoped to enter him in something else again. :/

I apologize in advanced for the increased difficulty of getting a Xaoc then. Lol.

I'm going to give myself 4 offspring for ever breeding ever. :D Because I feel like it.

And out of those four, Frey will steal one. :D!!!
And probably be chewed on by the dobermanticores.

Dobermanticores are probably the most epic thing EVER. I'M JUST SAYIN'. And hooray for the nose (although I'm slow on the uptake with these things so I don't know what the first one looked like). No ears though? XD

Honestly I don't like the nose as much D: Meh guess I'll get used to it..
Ohh~ I like the breeding system :D! I thought it was the same thing as Skitty, so it's cool seeing an actual system doing that kinda stuff o:

I may be dyslexic with numbers, buuut... "9-32 is two offspring, 32-45 is three offspring" -- Does this mean if it's 32, you still get to pick between the two? xDD; Anyway, neato system. I always thought it was decided on your-- uh, the coloration artist's personal preference. Or at least the color/marking opportunities or lineart edit percentage or somethin'. This is cool. Congrats to the paleo on being able to breathe properly again, his esophagus must have been getting kinda raw and windburnt in the time he spent lacking nostrils.

Oh, well then, thanks Slash for telling Bj to do it, and thanks Bj for forcing Faust to do it, and thanks Faust for doing it! XDD
