Mopefi (pre-order/claim)

Posted 6 years, 2 months ago by Shiranova

I started working on this Mopefi but just can't seem to find the motivation to finish it not knowing if it's going to sell//shot
So I thought I'd open it for pre-claim. If anyone's interested feel free to message me anywhere on my social media.

I went with a knight theme because the German name of delphinium is "Rittersporn" (Ritter meaning knight).
I can change the sex for free and add breasts if you'd prefer it to be a female. uvu

Adopt Previews (pre-claims open)

Posted 7 years, 15 days ago by Shiranova

(in case the pictures don't load: http://sta.sh/21ib8hacf3uz)

I finally decided to make some new Gluden (Gluttony Devils). I don't want to link the species here as the traits have changed a bit//shot
You can see the "new" legendary traits here. The wings have remained the same: Feathered demon wings and rotten demon wings. But the tail has changed. The "fork" at the tip of the Blessed Gluttony Devil's tail has soft edges and no "tips" so that it cannot be used to harm others. Touching it feels very soothing. Sometimes the Blessed Gluden's tails will also include gems that grew from their magic. The rotten Glude's tail is very spikey and the fork is all twisted and charred. It overheats regularly and toxic black fumes emerge from it when it does. The scales on the hands have started growing uncontrolledly and formed huge pranks/claws.

Violets Flower Jelly (left) and Black Currant Cake (right)

Both will be clean drawings, soft shaded. I will also add a painting of the food. For those who are familiar with the species, they won't get a demon form. I have discarded that idea. But I might doodle a small pet companion for them if the buyer desires.

You can pre-claim them if you're interested. Each is $100 USD. I am very sorry for the hefty price tag. They've got legendary traits and will be drawn very clean (the sketches are kinda messy). (Black Currant is taken by Night-Class so only the jelly one's left.)
If you pre-claim you can ask me to make some changes. E.g. changing hair style or gender (for the first one, the second one is genderless). I will also draw some custom outfits for them. I can fully change the outfit of the first one, the second one is getting an outfit, too. I will also add a doodly headshot plus an additional weapon (their tail detached) for pre-claimers. ♥

Thanks a lot for reading this ramble~

Snec - Closed Species

Posted 7 years, 5 months ago by Shiranova

Snec
♦desert makers
Masterlist

Snecs are a type of naga. They live in holes in the earth but are also able to come to the surface. Despite having feathers they can't fly and while they can swim they dislike it very much.

Etymology
snake (engl.) + sec (fr. dry)

Anatomy and Traits
Traits are all listed in the image above. There are no rarities.
Snecs are very sturdy. Their long tails are covered in scaled harder than rock. They can withstand fire and magma. Even their normal "human" skin is more durable than a common human's. The only delicate part on their body are their feathers. The feathers are created through a Snec's magic. Thus' the more feathers the more powerful the Snec is. Most Snecs have strong fire magic and are able to move rock. Normally if a healthy Snec loses a feather it will regrow fast. But losing feathers is their biggest fear as they show their dignity and power. The feathers on the back of their neck and torso can stand up or be folded down. Like a peacock. (I will add an image showing that later ... maybe ...//sweats).
The feathers on the tip of the snakey tail can be folded and spread like a fan. They actually use them to fan themselves when it gets to hot for them. During cold nights (or in colder regions in general) their feathers serve as a nice blanket. They roll themselves up when they sleep.

 

Lore
They dig huge labyrinths constructed of thousands of tunnels deep under the earth. They seek the warmth of the earth and feel a strong connection to fire. It's said the older they get the deeper they dig and therefore the old one come to the planet surface less regularly.
Whenever a Snec starts to build its tunnels the nature will wither. The roots of the plants are harmed in the process of tunnel-making and the earth becomes unstable. At some places huge landmasses will collapse, earthquakes will occur more often or magma will raise to the surface. As they need food as any other living being they constantly expand their tunnel systems, coming to new regions they exploit. A snec either destroys its land or lives in a symbiotic relationship with the habitants of their area. They're also known as desert makers; as they are commonly found in deserts and wastelands which are created through their digging.

Common Behaviour
They like to be worshipped as gods so they prefer to live in a symbiotic relationship with the people a whole lot over just burning everything down. They like to collect valuables (especially gold or nice stones) and store them in their lairs. Snecs prefer to stay in their tunnels as that's the place they're most comfortable at.

Two types of Snec
Some Snec are venomous some aren't. Venomous Snec are rarer and their sclera is colored a darker color than usual (normally black).

Snirbs
In order not having to leave their homes they create familiars out of molten rock and their feathers. They call those little rock snakes snirbs (snake birbs) as they adorn them with wings so that they can fly. The snirbs aren't very intelligent and have a very limited understanding of feelings as they are mere golems. But they are best suited to fullfill the Snecs' tasks. They gather food or spy the overworld. They listen to the news the wind spreads across the land and tell their master.

Gluttony Devils - Closed Species

Posted 7 years, 11 months ago by Shiranova

Gluttony Devils

Masterlist
ToS
F.A.Q.
MYO Price List

Gluttony Devils are a sort of demons that feast of other people's laziness and gluttony, as well as they can cause such. They're good at manipulating people. They'd decide on a victim and drive them into dependence. It's recommended to visit a doctor when possessed by one of those devils. Often, a simple change of your diet will help to drive them away and no exorcism is needed. 

Common symptoms of possession (sorted after urgency):
-laziness-lethargy
-weight gain
-either too high or low blood pressure
-diabetes mellitus
-ulcers and tumors
-death

Every devil is born with an affection to a certain type of food. The most common foods are heavily salty and greasy ones, especially fast-food and sugar bombs. Not only food includes their likings but also sweet and soft drinks.

Gluttony Devils are divided into two groups. Savory and Sugary. Savory includes mostly salty and spicy foods. Sugary includes everything that's sweet. Grease and Glucose devils normally don't get along well. Grease devils cannot stand sweet food and vice-versa.


 

Anatomy


Please check out the traits sheet!

Horns
The horns of each Devil are unique. They're mostly very colorful and some resemble food. They're not edible however.
The horns store a limited amount of magic and are mainly there to impress others.

Eyes
The eyes of each Gluttony Devil are bicolored. One exception are the Blessed Gluttony Devils of type legendary B.
The eyes store the largest amount of magic within the Devil's body. The pupils are made out of a diamond-like material and are almost indestructible. When a Gluttony Devil uses its magic the eyes glow bright. For Demon Hunters the Devils' eyes are the most desired treat. They're used in magical devises and amulets and are one of the most expensive goods on the black market. When losing one or both eyes a Gluttony Devil's magical ability decreases enormously. Gluttony Devils with a missing eye usually do not reach the average lifespan of ~3000 years.

Ears
The Devils' ears are always pointed. Any size or form is possible. Some ears are pointed more than others and some only differ a bit from human ears.
Small ears are considered more beautiful than big ones.

Claws + scaling

The Devils arms/legs are covered with scales up to the middle of their upper arm and upper leg. The scales are extremely small, almost like grains of sand, and very smooth. They offer protection from extreme outer forces. The fingertips end in claws. The claws are made out of those small scales as well. They're not like finger nails since there is no transition from hand to claws! They are extremeley sharp and cut through almost everything. The claws are very rarely used as weapons and a Devil would only resort to physical force if they do not have the opportunity to use their magic. When using magic the scales glow just as the eyes do. Depending on a Gluttony Devil's food preference the scales can either heat up or get very cold.

Wings
The Devils levitate and do not fly with their wings. Since levitating is as tiresome for a Devil as is running for a human they usually prefer to stay on the ground and only levitate for shorter distances. The wings are used to stabilize and accelerate the flight. They're covered with the same scales as the arms/legs and thus have the same abilities. In fact the wings are just as hard and sharp as the claws. They could cut metal with them.
There are no bones in the wings. Between the scales is a very thin but strong layer of muscles. They cannot bend their wings too much but they can stretch and tighten them, influencing their size by that. When levitating the wings are usually stretched.

Patterned wings and especially wings with symbols on them are seen as very beautiful and desired by many Devils. Bicolored wings on the other hand are considered ugly.
Devils with rotten and even with feathered wings are normally avoided by others. First is considered to be sick and contagious, second to be snotty.

Tail
The tail of the devil is the only edible of their traits and it's actually tasty! Blank tails are either meaty, fishy or sweet tasting with a texture of gummy. If the tail is cut it will regrow but take a rather long time to do so.
Veggie tails grow all kind of edible plants on them. The plants can be plucked and eaten or used for tea. They regrow fast.
Puff tails are mainly reserved for the Glucose type of Devil but they have been seen on the Savory type as well. They're soft to the touch and furry but can be eaten and digested.

Under no circumstances would a normal, healthy Gluttony Devil eat their own or someone else's tail! It is considered cannibalism. But beast hunters or people who have summoned a Devil as their familiar would do so. The taste of the Devil's tail is said to be unbeaten by any food in the entire universe.

The Devils also use their tails for communication. Young Devils would wag them when they're happy but it's a habit they unlearn when they got older.
When being hostile the Devils move their tail from one to the other side very slowly in a hypnotic manner. Devils with short tails usually do not show any such behaviours.


Specialties

Their Secret: The One and Only Recipe

Gluttony Devils are born with Their One and Only Recipe. It's a recipe that is given to each Gluttony Devil and is unique to them. The meals cooked with this one recipe turn out fabulous and cannot be outdone by any other recipe or cook. The Gluttony Devil would guard their recipe like a treasure and wouldn't tell it to anyone.
It's a sign of utmost appreciation and love if a Gluttony Devil tells one their One and Only Recipe. Many take their recipe to the grave.

Alchemy | Cooking

The practicing of alchemy is more common among older Gluttony Devils who do not have that much magic left inside of them. There are younger ones practicing it as well of course. Gluttony Devils have extremely sensitive smelling and tasting. They're excellent cooks. Many of them dedicate their life to cooking and those who don't like to grant at least themselves a extensive meal a day. Aside from cooking they have a good track of ingredients and recipes which also comes in handy when looking for new potions.
(Fun fact: Gluttony Devils are said to be the tidiest devils down in hell.)


Other Abilities

Magic

Gluttony Devils can use magic. All types of magic they use derive from Black Magic. Their magic is very attack-based and rarely focusses on healing or supporting others. They can cast it without needing any magical instruments like staffs, wands or spells. That makes them very dangerous fighters. Usually, a Gluttony Devil would focus on a certain type of magic. Most common are elemental types; like fire, water etc.

When they're using magic their scales and eyes start glowing. Their eyes glow because it's the part of their body which contains most of the magic. Losing an eye would mean a loss of remaining life time for them. Their scales glow because it's the part their magic is released through. The scales protect their body from their own (and foreign) magic. E.g. a Gluttony Devil using fire magic won't get burnt when using it because the scales protects it's body.
That's why their arms/legs/wings also get really hot or cold (depending on what type of magic it is) when using their powers.

They do not have to learn how to achieve magic. It's within their bodies and comes naturally. That's why it's that important to educate young Gluttony Devils appropriately. Otherwise they might set things on fire. It's harder to teach a Gluttony Devil not to use magic rather than using it.
When they're angry it can happen that they lose a bit of control over their magic but especially older Gluttony Devils would have themselves pretty much under control.

They are unable to learn a special type of magic deriving from White or Holy Magic. They feel disgust when they hear or sense White Magic and would have even problems to say out loud a spell deriving from it. One exception make the Blessed Gluttony Devils.

Levitation

Gluttony Devils can levitate. They use their wings for balance and levitation. They are extremely agile when in the air and can reach high speed (around 100 km/h). They cannot keep this speed over long distances however. Levitating is to them what running is to humans. If they're not used to it they won't be able to stay in the air for too long.

Transformation

Gluttony Devils can transform into a demon form. Their demon form is actually a weaker version of their true self but it's usually easier for them to approach people in this form. A Gluttony Devil's demon form is rather small, usually of the size of a bunny but there are also cases of smaller or bigger versions.

Legendary Gluttony Devils' demon forms resemble dragons a lot and are usually bigger.

Older Gluttony Devils are also able to conceal their demon traits. They make their wings, horns, tail and the scales invisible. They don't have any influence on their eye color however. This ability mostly comes with the use of alchemy. It's not a power which is given to them naturally but which they have to train actively.

Mopefi - Closed Species

Posted 7 years, 11 months ago by Shiranova
 
Mopefi Dogrose by Shiranova

Mopefi
♦sky divers♦

Masterlist
ToS


Anatomy and Traits

Mopefi are neither mermaids nor fairies. Although their tail resembles the one of a fish they do not live in water. They're not very good swimmers actually, as they're very light and would drown at the water's surface. They're closer related to insects.
Mopefi Horns by Shiranova
♦ Each Mopefi has two horns on their head. Normally they're closed but a Mopefi can use its magic to open them and set a scent free. Their horns are a very desired ingredient for incense. They resemble the flower the Mopefi is born in but do not have to look exactly like it.
♦ Mopefi don't have ears but antennae with which they can filter sound from the air.
♦ The part where their body tranistions into their tail is protected by a thick layer of fluff. The fluff is made of the same material as the fur of moths. It's the same thing their hair is made of too and it's very light and fluffy. It leaves enough air through to not feel hot in summer and is warm enough to protect them in winter. Some Mopefi have more fluff than others. 
A Mopefi's tail looks almost like a fish's. Mopefi however, do not have scales. Their tail is protected by a thin layer of chitin. It is very strong and getting hit by it would hurt enormously. Sometimes the whole tail is covered in a thin layer of fluff as well.
♦The shape of their fins resemble the petals of the flower they're born from. They use it as an oar when gliding in the air. The number of fins varies. 
♦Their wings are extending their lower back. And are covering their tail like a coat from behind. They cannot flap their wings, only spread them. Mopefi are so light that they can glide on wind. They also use Dynamic soaring to fly great distances. They are very dependent of wind. In wind-free zones they would only be able to float few centimeters above the ground. The wings are divided in two layers. The upper layer covers the under when the wings are closed. The under layer is way more fragile and smaller but Mopefi need both for perfect gliding. 
Mopefi Back by Shiranova

Lore
Mopefi lay their tiny eggs in flowers. They can communicate with plants and so the flower closes itself to protect the Mopefi until it has hatched. When it hatches it's only as big as the flower but it will grow fast and reach human size. To grow to full size a Mopefi needs to eat a lot. Baby Mopefi are little parasites and once the whole species nearly got extinct because their offspring was killed by angry farmers. Adult Mopefi however live in unison with nature and only need sunlight and water to survive. Some of them even can live off moonlight only. A Mopefi is considered an adult when it reaches the age of 4. Aside from that their lifespan is the same as a human's. They grow old as well. Aside from getting wrinkley and grey their wings, fins and horns start withering as well.

Mopefi prefer temperate zones. Mopefi living in very cold or hot areas have to take many measurements in order not to die fast. It's rare to see them in snowy regions or deserts but there are some. In winter wild Mopefi would find a warm and secure spot to hibernate. Those who live together with humans or other species are active during this time as well.

Moro Moro Form
Each Mopefi has a small moth form.They share the same traits as the human-fish form with the only difference that their horns are always opened. They're based on the hummingbird hawkmoth

Nyroi - Closed Species

Posted 8 years, 15 days ago by Shiranova

Nyroi

♦ Dream Bats ♦

 

Masterlist

Traits Overview (to be completed)
(Recommended to read the general information beforehand!)
eyes
ears
gems
eye markings
› tails

Nyroi are some kind of vampires or demons originating in hell. But their race quickly spread in other dimension and worlds. As all vampires they need blood in order to survive. They do not burn in the light but holy symbols cause them discomfort. Younger Nyroi have a very childish appearance and are a bit smaller than humans; old ones are generally taller. They only die when they do not get enough blood, so they can have any age.


The wings can be either attached on the upper or lower back. There are strong arms below the furry fluff on which the wings are attached. All their hands/feet have thumbs for grabbing stuff.

Special Ability
When people are looking into their real(!) eyes they get hypnotized and fall asleep.
By that Nyroi can alter their dreams and choose whether they are good or bad ones.
When drinking this persons blood the Nyroi are also entering the person's dream.
Some Nyroi offer people good dreams in exchange for blood.
Some extort them for blood by giving them nightmares.
Nyroi only use their real eyes to hypnotize others. So they're closed most of the time.

Eyes
They are born blind; most of them don't even have pupils. However, there are some kind of special gems they make artificial eyes from. Once those eyes are implanted into their forehead they're able to see. The gems themselves are colorless until they get implanted and infused with the Nyroi's magic.
The only weakness of those eyes is that they're very sensitive to light. That's why most Nyroi only come out at night.
Nyroi cannot close those artificial eyes and when sunlight is cast on them they feel great pain.
Some courageous ones cover their third eye and dare to go out during daytime.

When they're in a person's dream they are able to "see" everything clear and in full colors with their regular eyes.

Bio Sonar
Nyroi are not dependent of those third eyes as they have some kind of bio sonar to orient themselves. 
Their ears are therefore one of their most important body parts. Each Nyroi has fur-puffs in their ears to protect them from loud noise and dirt.When they're among themselves they only communicate through their bio sonar, which people with normal ears cannot hear. That's why some also call them the Silent Folk.
Despite their bio sonar there are only few Nyroi without a third eye. The gems are normally implanted at very young age without the Nyroi's consent.

The advantage of those third eyes is that the Nyroi are able to see colors with them.
Colors are treated like something holy by the Nyroi.
The gems allow them to see colors outside of dreams.

Eye Markings
They're often not taken seriously because of their appearance that's why they paint eyes on the fur on their wings to appear more menacing. It's some kind of dye made with a secret recipe. It can be removed with a liquid only produced by them.
Normally each Nyroi has a different eye pattern but the eye patterns within families look alike.
Their eye markings don't have any special power aside from looking good.
Some Nyroi use them to make a statement and paint closed eyes on their wings to show their good intentions.

Clothing
Their genitals are covered by their thick fur but some of them prefer to wear additional clothing; especially those living among humans. Females would generally cover their chest with cloth.

Other traits
Some of them have horns but they're rather uncommon. Their body markings vary a lot. Some of them have more, some less.

This is a closed species! Do not make your own! Do not heavily reference them or even steal them!
