1. Body
The body should just be a simplistic blob with whatever features you need on it (minus limbs), and mainly monotone with simple designs.
2. Art
Use Paint.net or, if you really don't want to download anything Paint is fine. Make the outline the same color as the base, and try to use simple expressions and features. Under-development is bad, over-development is worse.
3. Gimmicks
Now we get to the meat. A slime should have one or two distinctive features. It should also have specific behaviors (i.e a Boom Slime wanting to explode, a Phosphor slime flying, a Mosaic slime producing glints, etc...) One of these behaviors should be destructive, either being indirect (agitating slimes) or direct (hurting you). If you want your slime to not be overpowered, make these behaviors only happen when the slime is ticked-off.
4. Slimeology
A slime should have good use for its plorts, and a good bit of description. It should also list its rareness, favorite food, and location.
5. DIY
Your slime's favorite food can be made by yourself as a fan-design (AND SHOULD), but it's okay if you add your slime to an existing area, or make a entirely new one.
6. Checks and balances
If your slime scares Tarr, then make it rare and its plorts valuable (75-160 newbucks). If it's rare, make it's plorts valuable. Here are some price guidelines as well as an example slime for each one:
Very Common: (10-20), Pink Slimes
Common: (20-50), Rock Slimes
Semi-common: (45-90), Honey Slimes
Uncommon: (60-125), Quantum Slimes
Valuable: (75-160), Dervish Slimes
Rare: (200-600), Gold Slimes
7. ETC.
The natural predator of a slime is the Tarr, and as such, no slime should have abilities that kill, harm, or otherwise hurt the Tarr (scaring it is fine). The favorite food of your slime should not be another slime's favorite food, Pogofruit, Carrot, or Hen Hen. For clarity, it's best to put slime entries in Slimepedia form:
Slime Name:
(joke, pun)
Diet:
Favorite food:
Slimeology:
Rancher Risks:
Plortonomics:
8: Wrapping it all up:
When everything is done and well, proofread, preview, and post! Ask for constructive criticism. Don't forget to put your slime's abilities!
Hope this helps.
