I go by Evlon, or Ev which ever works for you! I'm a recent university Fine Arts major graduate! Art is my main thing, I love both traditional and digital illustration as well as some cool things like intaglio and linocut printmaking. I also do photography as a hobby when I'm not working on a drawing or painting. As well I sometimes enjoy coding websites for fun, or a challenge. I have a working art studio under the name EvlonArts where I show case some of my recent work! I also collect old things, feathers, animal skulls, and fantasy figurines.
Aside from arts and oddities I really love animals! I even trained as a vet assistant for a time before choosing art as my career. I own 5 dogs, 6 cats, and 6 geckos! I own leopard, crested, African fat tail and Mediterranean house geckos. In addition to my own animals I also rescue & foster when I am able, as well as provide hospice care for other's cats who's health or living situation doesn't allow them to live at home with their owners so they don't have to part with their pets.
I do not play tons of online games anymore, I cut back to those I really enjoy. You may find me on the International Howrse, Subeta, FlightRising and on Dragon Cave. My most frequent online haunts are here, deviantART and tumblr. Any users under the name Evlon are likely not myself, do not buy art from them unless you confirm it is indeed me via a website I am known to actively frequent!
I do in fact actively work on bettering several breeds here on FP! Since my start with Ibizan Hounds and Kai Kens I've expanded my breeds to include lots more! I focus on HH & lala in my lines while also working to keep much of the beautiful coat variations for the dogs, and eventually breeding some of the rarer & more difficult colour combinations.
I some times do buy fresh dogs for my lines from players, rescues or even the shop dogs if no other good options are available. I always require that females have never been bred more than once, have similar or higher HH count to my current lines, and have no lower than Lla for litters. In breeds where my lines have many of the same coat colours I also do my best to buy dogs with different colours than what I own. You may contact me to offer pups/dogs of any breeds I currently work with, but do no be disappointed if I am not interested in your dog.
I'm not overly interested in starting breeding programs with other partners. I already work very closely with Crevan for a few breeds, right now Windhounds, Catahoulas and Poodles are all breeds which we work together to improve. Partnering with someone to breed here on FP is quite time consuming, and requires much clear communication from both persons involved. Since I have worked with Crevan on other games to improve animals we already know we work well and efficiently together.
Some of my dogs have different art than what FP lists them as, this is not a mistake! In some breeds I was very disappointed by the lack of colour variation which may be found in RL, but isn't here on FP. To make up for this, I simply play by replacing the dog's current string of phenotype genes with my own. It's much more challenging, but also fun. I always use a random chance system when breeding these dogs, to try and emulate the genetics system here on FP as much as possible (hello my DnD dice!).
I do not sell any pups or dogs from my lines. This may change in the future, but for now I require both pups for my breeding goals of strengthening the genetics of my dogs. That being said! Yes, I am a 3star breeder, and yes I do have an upgrade. If you would like me to breed dogs for you, I will do so at no charge provided you send both the male & female, or provide a free stud covering. If you are planning to use a public stud I only ask that you pay for his fee. Pups will be free for you to pick, with no affix. I will also raise their experience multiplier and feed them the food of your choice :)
Naming Themes
Only breeds which have completed art will have named themes :)
Silken Windhounds - Flowers
Ibizan Hounds - Gemstones
Catahoula Leopard Dogs - Planets & Moons
Here I keep record of my achievements, from breeding or awards my dogs have won! Because each of these goals takes quite a lot of time, effort and planning I like to show off where I'm at and remind myself of where I want to be!

For serious buyers only, personal art for your dogs on FP or any other sim! If you would like to hire me to do these as official art for your sim, please do contact me as well! Currently I only accept one of these commissions at a time, due to the amount of time spent researching the breed very thoroughly, and the work that goes into producing art with as much breed likeness as possible while still retaining character. Currently I only have canine examples, but I am not adverse to being hired for non-canines as well! You may see my many examples here.

Crevan and I have designed layouts in the past for several different games. We've finally decided to put together again, and make them here too! I do all the coding, Crevan does the images.
All layouts use as minimal HTML as possible! That means less for you to worry or fuss with, aka easier to edit and work with with little to no html knowledge.
We're both photographers! That means any and all photo manips you see on our layouts are 100% (c) to us, no worries of low quality, grainy or blurry photos, we only use our best shots! This also means there are tons of photographs not otherwise available for stock, this includes tons of dog breeds, birds, horses, wild animals, and loads more! The only exception to this is if you request something which neither of us have photos of. In which case we will use the highest quality royalty free image we are able to find, and properly credit the photographer of course!
Currently we do not offer customs, and instead only offer premades via auction on the ASB. This is to help us find the market value of our work, and decide if continuing this service is worth while or not. You may of course always leave us suggestions! Feel free to do so via our website!
