ILION @ilionproject - Tumblr Blog

❄️ILION's official website is here!❄️ Currently it's PC only; mobile layout is in the works!

Ilion is a collaborative art project I created back in 2021, featuring a team of sled dogs contributed by my amazing and talented friends! The world of Ilion has grown since then with a lot more to see~! ミ☆

hello^^!! ive been a fan of your illion sled dog project for a couple years now and I was curious if you ever were taking new submissions for characters ? 😭 you probably get asked this often, I just am so inspired by your project and would love to be a part of it in some way, nonetheless I’m always happy to see new inclusions!! the website is so impressive and all of the characters are so interesting and cute :) thanks for your time !!! have a good day

Hello!!! Thank you so much for your interest Q_Q It seriously means so much to me that you have been following the project for so long! Unfortunately I'm not open to new members right now. I have thought about opening them up publicly, but since I'm the only one running the show, it's just a little too much for my plate. I also already have 3 dogs (including one of my own) in queue to be posted, and that's already taking me so long now. So at the moment, any recruitment you see on the website is for immersion purposes only since Ilion is essentially like an ARG, but without the G u_u

However, if you still want to make a sled dog that could fit in the Ilion world as a rival or friend (or unrelated to Ilion), then I encourage it 100%. I find it really endearing when people tell me that they're inspired to create because of my project, so pleaseee show me if you end up making a dog! I want to seeeee!! you can always DM me on twitter or bsky ^,^b

Actually, as I was writing this, I decided to put together a small imgur gallery of what I ask of new members: Here This is a very basic guideline for the design process. It gets a lot more complex if you're a member, but since this is for funsies, you don't gotta worry about any of that.

I am going to put an ooc FAQ on the website eventually (you can see it by clicking the "Version xyz" at the bottom of the screen for updates).

Anyways, I will reblog this onto the Ilion project tumblr too!!!! Which is right here @ilionproject

Thank you again for this ask and support <3 <3 <3

For those interested in how to make an Ilion-style sled dog, I've included a link here :3

Some Ilion rival lore:

Minerva: A lead dog belonging to the musher Oyuun, and one of Ilion's rivals. She's a mix of various Siberian sled dog breeds and the Bankhar dog. Oyuun's father wanted to create a sled dog breed that Mongolia could call its own before he passed. Minerva is one of his father's last living dogs. He does not plan to continue on this breed's legacy.

Baikal: A Bankhar dog from Buryatia, and distant cousin of Minerva. He's named after the lake! *My friend who gave him this name said he used to have a Bankhar with the same name.
