Site update, gonna be reworking images

Posted 6 years, 10 months ago by ElithianFox

Do you like the new TH site update?

10 Votes Yeah!
6 Votes Eh
0 Votes Nah >:c

The site update is really exciting! Because of the new image settings, I will be reworking my images to be more consistent along the board. For one, I will be editing single Mini Project pieces to show everyone in the batch, and reduce the number of images to one so that there's no more duplicates. You won't notice any of this because I'll be editig existing images, but afterwards my galleries will be cleaner.

Enjoy!

Who do you wanna know more of?

Posted 6 years, 11 months ago by ElithianFox

I've always wanted to complete my OC profiles but my energy juices have been so low this year... They found out my REM sleep process has issues getting activated, so even after sleep I'll wake up as if I didn't sleep at all. Thanks body; can't breathe, can't sleep, can't not be deformed, can't even recignise harmlss particles as safe


But boring medical stuff aside, I always work better when people show interest in stuff! So I'd like to know, which of my characters would you like to see me type more of? Additionally, do you have any questions about my characters of details about them you wanna know? I'll happily answer B)

For an overview of all my characters, this list helps, and the ones with incomplete profiles are at the bottom of this one. Ask away, anything is alright!

Livian Species Guide

Posted 7 years, 11 days ago by ElithianFox

Primary species

The ones the focus will be on. Members of this species and the entire species as a grouping will have a fairly large influence on the story.

Livian Demons -- X X X
My current focus, probably won't change the focus at this point. Humanoid creatures that were created rather than evolved. Their inexperience has led them to make quite a few enemies and friends in the world, but especially now they're pushing back against all the threats presented to them they couldn't resolve in the past. 

 

 

Dragons -- X
Not literal feral dragons, they resemble huge bulking scaly humanoids. They were created in a spiritual purge that created hybrids of different creatures, them being reptiles and humans, and technically speaking aren't purely reptiles. 

 

 

 

Drakes
Drake is a very loose term as it signifies any hybrid that was created during the spiritual purge that merged different species together. Dragons and Elsae Ardu are drakes too, as are all beast people. Drakes don't have to have a reptilian part in their species makeup, they can be hybrids between a dog and a cat, to give a random example.

 
 

Beast people -- X X
Beast people go far and wide, occurring in all sorts of species, but for a general definition these are drakes that possess part of the human gene. In terms of appearance, most of these can stand up, but again there's variety. Sentience ranges from 'mildly more inclined to group behaviour than a regular cat' to 'just finished conceptualising the theory of relativity'.

 

 

Gods -- X X
Or in other words mortals who had either the luck of being born with and being capable of training in a very powerful type of magic that allows the mind to create, or who worked hard to gain these powers. While there are no gods who existed since the dawn of the universe, these individuals still hold an unimaginable amount of power over the people they claim as theirs.

 

Angels
Though currently with a limited role, these winged humans are the inhabitants of the city of Heaven. Initially very closed off and conservative, the recent agreement to allow demons inside its wall and its army to band together against the rising threat of Hell has loosened up the ideals of some angel individuals and prompted them to see what else is out there.

 

The Magi beasts
Are they even a real species? Their effects sure are real regardless of where they came from and who, or what, created them.

 

Souls -- X X
While not literal beings, they present living creatures' sentience in a physical form. They will for sure be explored later on.



Secondary species

These species exist in the world and have their own history, but they don't necessarily have a huge role in the story. At most, a few characters will appear but species itself won't be addressed very extensively, though it may have a smaller role still.

Familiars -- X X
Small magical spirits who used to be given to the most loyal of followers of a god, but who nowadays just spawn in nature without anyone being sure why. 

 

 

Humans
Sealed away in their monasteries and walled cities, humans tend to be more closed off of the world than anyone else. Just like their angel counterparts, they are discouraged to travel and interfere with other species, making them a rare sight.

Elves -- X
The only one of the three human races that is actually open to other cultures and species, albeit only to allow trade and education to seep through their closed borders. Living on an island without sufficient deep sea ship technology, they hope to learn techniques from the visiting traders to explore the rest of the world on their own.

 

 

True elves -- X
Everybody knows that humans aren't elves. They're humans. When you say the word 'elf', it's more likely that the person will imagine a sentient gorilla than a skinny human with pointed ears, if they know the term elf at all. 

 

 

Elsea Ardu -- X X
One of the creatures who got formed after one of the local pulses of magical energy as an aftermath to the spiritual purge, these bird based beast people got merged with demons through two different aftershocks. Not many of the resulting creatures were genetically stable enough to even survive for a second, so the ones that did have a very small pool of people to keep the species alive with.

 

 

Mirrors -- X X X
Blue demons. Everyone knows blue makes everything better. These creatures are born as a mirror to actual living Livian Demons in one of the afterlife's realms, with an ability to share their senses and a cultural ideal to attain an appearance as close as possible to their original. Livian Demons are not aware of their existence and they can't interact with each other in any way.

 

 

Harpies -- X X
One of the beast people who had a second spiritual 'purge', the second one occurring in one of the local aftershocks. The first combination was between bird and human, and the second one added more human to the mix, making these creatures look more humanoid than most beast people would.

 

 



Potential species I may add

I would really like to add these in, but I feel like they might be gimmicky if I can't fit them in anywhere. It'd take time to fit them in, and I wouldn't know how. Many of these are beast people and shouldn't be seen as their perfect 'half human, half animal' form they're often shown as, but rather a fairly beastly one.

Merpeople
Less of the beautiful giggling girly mermaids and more of the monstrous half fish people. 

Centaurs
People with a horse's full body as lower body. How does it work anatomically speaking? No idea. But they might work.

Fauns
Basically humanoid goat people with a more human face. Not sure at all where they would fit in, but you may have noticed that I absolutely love the goat leg on humanoids aesthetic.




What do I do with you guys

These are species I meant to add but am having second thoughts on. They seem like an amazing thing to add and I'm excited to add them, but at the same time I have no idea how they'd ever be applied. At most they'd be mentioned once every 100 pages and that's about it, so I'd have to get a completely different focus for it to work.

 

The Dead. -- X
Name only temporary. These are one of the big reasons why Tomius is seem as an unjust god; to avoid Hell from getting more resources, he tends to lay curses upon those he deems deserving of their sin count, making them immortal and giving them living rot. The sun banishes them to the north, or in most cases, deep into the ocean.

 

The Aquatic Dead. -- X X X
Name even more temporary. Sometimes, after living in the ocean for years, the offer of a god to transform your rotting body into something more suitable to live with underwater in exchange for worship doesn't seem all that crazy anymore. The webbed toes and fingers are the most fun part.


 

Werewolves
Yeah, the cliché. I know. But it seems like a fitting step for a wolf god to give his most loyal followers either a panic form they can assume when they are in danger, or a chance for them to get a taste of life as the creatures they regard with such importance and fascination. Might be far too gimmicky. 

 

Vampires.
There's our dichotomy. The regular vampires who need a supplement of blood in their meals, with some extra strength and altered thought processes but aside from that no real differences. I used to love these as a kid, but at this point the only mention of vampirism you may get would be of an old legend. I thought of making the entire thing extinct except for one single person, but I don't know. If anything, vampirism is only a means to getting Nathan's story started. So until then, I have no idea what to do with them.

Bird boy adoptable! [Open]

Posted 7 years, 17 days ago by ElithianFox

I made a bird boy and decided to put him up for adoption! All info here <:

 

Not on the profiles themselves, but on my character status list. Go check 'em out if you're curious how much of my life I have thus far wasted on these shitlords! If you divide the number by 500, you roughly get to the number of times I've rewritten each profile.


In total, there's about 56700 combined words in all of my profiles, excluding the numbers from the 'empty' ones and the stats at the beginning of the profile. That's, like, an entire novel!

You might also notice that some characters with a lower word count are nearer to the top than some with more than double their word count. I was surprised to see this too, but after examining it up close this seems to be because I look at the substance over the word count for sorting in categories. Some short profiles carry some very important and interesting details while others are pretty big already but the info they hold is empty and doesn't say as much about the character as I wish it would.

Would appreciate if you could fill it in, takes only a minute~

Survey

Art trade character choice journal

Posted 7 years, 1 month ago by ElithianFox

It's about time I redid my old journal that was for OCAT since it's a bit outdated and far down on my bulletin list. I'm also organising a secret santa in the 18+ Discord group, so I need to list my choices for that!

 

 

Characters are listed by category; the higher the category, the more I'm looking for art of them. Inside the category there's no particular order they're in, so whoever gets me can choose the one they think looks the most fun to draw. Click on the character icon to go to their profile, there's a lot more info on them there!

Quick note: if you read the 'Quickstats' section, the section that's usually included under the basic stats on a profile, there are a few tips of things people often overlook and what type of person they are. If you need any inspiration on how to draw them you can always look at the quickstats, the personality, the backstory if there is one, and the likes and dislikes.

I've got characters of the following categories: male, female, humanoid, feral, anthro.

 

Most wanted

Garry A Levi Magali  Seranet
Clancy Florence Henry Etisi  Markus
     
The Botanist The Alchemist       

 

Secondary options

Ayla Altari Lyre Damon's Mirror Chiara
 
Biscuit Cafun Michael Luca  

Wondering a few things

Posted 7 years, 3 months ago by ElithianFox

I did this on my dA as well, so I thought why not here!

 

1. Are you familiar with any of my OCs from art I've posted, and if so, which ones?
2. Do you care about their backstory, personality, anything written about them that I can't yet corporate in art?
3. Anyone or anything you'd like to see more of among my OCs?
4. What do you like about my art and its style, themes, etc.?
5. Have you ever read my characters' profiles?
6. Do you have a fave OC of mine?

My finals are almost over so hopefully I can spend some more time on OCs soon. Mathematics on Monday, Ecology on Thursday, and a class I don't care and might skip on the 31st, and then I'm free!
