EDIT; OKaY IVE GOT FIVE NOW so closin' up cuz I don't want to overload myself djklfd; THANKS FRIENDS WEEPS (and I'm sorry to anyone who might have missed out fjkd;s I still love you guys but can only do so much ;___;
Okay I probably shouldn't be doing this, but I got too hyped about this species I've had in the works for months now and have rEALY wanted to start working on them and providing examples/info.... bUT dARN IT I've just been too busy and pushing it off in favor of other things, etc. So while I prooobbably shouldn't do this, cuz it's gonna add a lot of work to my plate, I'm too excited aND WELL MAYBE this'll kick my butt into gear on actually developing them.
So, yeah
I'm looking for some MUTUALS who might be interested in doing blind custom trades! Since a lot of this new species isn't explored yet when it comes to physical traits, I'm only going to be asking for palettes. Which means, for the custom exchange I will only give a palette in return -- open book on both ends! I won't provide any WIPs or mock-ups, and I won't ask for any. I will also be working on these around commissions and other money-making stuff cuz money is important and this is for fun FFF so it may take a month or two?? To finish or get around to everything, so there is also no rush on your end. (But I'd like to have a hard deadline of three months on both sides for completion.)
Okay, okay you're probably thinking, 'Alright, I'm maybe interested but wtf is this new species?' weeLLLLL
They're called Melwyrms, and they have both a human/kemonomimi-ish form, as well as a worm/bug form.
You can read the extensive lore I've worked out so far here; http://sta.sh/0294vy1zrgwk
Plus a newer, more accurate example of what they will kinda look like; https://i.gyazo.com/a2bca9edb37b2f85b41b8a63e1f73919.png
I will be doing my half as off-base designs, in either chibi or fullbody (up to you). I will provide both the worm version, as well as their kemonomimi version w/ an outfit. -- so I ask also for an offbase, and either chibi or non-chibi dependong on what you want from me. Clothing doesn't need to be necessary for anthro species adopts (tho welcome??), but please do include them if they're kemonomimi (I love fantasy stuff pls). ;v;/
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, PLEASE COMMENT??
I have a good number of mutuals, and idk how many of you will be interested in this fjkl;s
So I'm only gonna take on a few... maybe like five tops??? idk noT A LOT THO /sweats
I just want a few examples and excuses to help me flesh out this species a bit more -- and thought this could be a fun way to do it. ;w;
if both parents have to die to make a baby, wouldnt this species start edging into extinction? D: adsffscf but anyway this was a really nice read!! ;v;7 i really like the idea of these and the worm form is so unique!

They don't die for good! They just sacrifice the remainder of their current life and start their rebirth cycle early is all, so they get reborn in the process.
The only way Melwyrms /officially/ die is if they are killed by something or grow sick/don't have adequate food source.
8 years, 4 months ago
omg I haven't seen you talk about these in quite a while I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT THEM
8 years, 4 months ago
yEAH TBH IVE BEEN REally wanted to work on them for a while now, but I've been too busy and yeah jfk;la
Fingers crossed this kicks my butt into actually launching them ^q^
8 years, 4 months ago
YEH YEH DO IT I wanna see these on TH front page
8 years, 4 months ago
omg jo these guys scrapes face off and hangs it one one
8 years, 4 months ago
OH.. YES.. ABSOLUTELY!!!
Edit: I jumped the gun, but whatever you're interested in is fine with me ' - '/ though I assume dreamies? dfjksf
8 years, 4 months ago Edited 1:05 am
Yaaaaass, of course! *___*
I DO LIKE DREAMIES, as you know /weep But I don't mind czylphs or of course onespecialspeciesyoudon'tmakeanymorecoughsbut not expecting that one FFFFF
So I'll leave it up to you, whatever you're feelin' most of those I will gladly take ^q^
dO YOU PREFER CHIbi or full body, and also pls throw a palette at me 8)
8 years, 4 months ago
mmmMMMM this might be a stretch so if you feel it is I hold my wrists out for you to slap, but would you be okay with doing 2 chibis for one fullbody czylph?
If not we can work something else out!! I just feel more excited to plot with things when I have one for my bf also dsklf
8 years, 4 months ago
wEH I'd prefer to do design for design, if that's okay? So if you want two that's cool, but then could I get two in return (they don't have to be cyzlphs if those are more work, like I said I like dreamies too FFF I mean I practically have a horde at this point )
jUST CUZ THey're already gonna be a lot of work with a wyrm version and human version (so it's almost like two in one already jfkld;fsd)
of course... /looks away with scrunched neck and many chins
if you are wiling to do another scarftail I am willing to do two fullbody melwyrms in exchange jflk;sfd /coughs cuz I would love to get a green one coughs bUT I UNDERSTAND if that's a no, so feel free to slap my wrists too FFFF /easygoing
8 years, 4 months ago
I could do a custom seeker or thimble or smthing- gomen my species arent that interesting SWEATS
8 years, 4 months ago
I wouldn't mind a seeker! Or /sweating intensifies -- if you are more comfortable with art I have such a bad addiction to your chibis and would gladly take like a couple of those instead or something
But if a seeker is easier, I also wouldn't mind that! Surprisingly Teslan is one of my favorite characters so I could probably find place for another one! ^Q^
Lemme know!
Also are you more interested in chibi wyrm or full body? : O
8 years, 4 months ago
I can do art! I have never found someone so excited about my minis that it really makes me feel good to see someone willing to trade for it. ; v ;
Chibi is fine! I'm a sucker and will prob ask for a white based with pink accents and subtle hearts bc I am a piece of shit. <:3c
8 years, 4 months ago
Yaaaass I can totally do white w/ pink accents and hearts * v *
bUT WEH AWESOME GOSH I DO LOVE THEM SO MUCH and I've finally made it out of my money hell so can buy comms again (so watch out when you start opening *___*
BUT YEH, would two chibis be okay in exchange? Since it's both the wyrm version and human version, so kinda like two chibis for two chibis???
8 years, 4 months ago
Sure! Did you want minis or my chibis? Only reason I ask is cus I don't want to mistake anything. Minis are the smol cheebs I did for you before!
8 years, 4 months ago
Oh YEAH, definitely Minis are what I mean jfk;a
BUT YEAH, like usual, I'm just gonna give you a few options to pick by and you can go w/ whoever you feel most! ^Q^
Please do draw them w/ clothing tho, like usual ;v;

8 years, 4 months ago
yAS SURE! ^Q^ WITH YOU I really like the style you do the majority of your adopts at?? https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18951940/ (but i'm not sure if this is considered semi-chibi or fullbody for you jflksa ) Would it be cool to do it in this style, and I'll do my half in a similar style? ; O ;
IF SO THROW ME A PALETTE and also I will def want a purraille /weak
But I gotta think on palettes FFFF

OKAY OKAY OKAY

Feel free to fiddle with that -- you can add/subtract colors or tone stuff down or whatever as needed ^q^b
8 years, 4 months ago
oH AND IF YOu do add clothes, you can use whatever colors you want that works with the palette I gave ^q^
8 years, 4 months ago
are you interested in non closed species or nah? o0o
8 years, 4 months ago
fROM YOU I'd be interested in like.. idk maybe clothing designs? Like don't need to draw a person or character, just pretty clothes that I can put on some of my characters * v * /cuz your clothing aesthetic is on point
Would that be chill with you??? Maybe one for chibi melwyrm, two for fullbody one?? :'O
8 years, 4 months ago
omg yes ofc i'd be hecka cool w/ that 8D!! i can do two yea, just gimme some sort of keywords/color ideas/male or female etc
as far as palette goes can i just not link u a palette and be like AY MAKE ME AN ALBINO ONE so white w some pale fleshy pinks??? ????? ?? ? is that a thing that is ok
8 years, 4 months ago
ALBINO ONE YOOOO yes I can do this 8)))))
BUT HMMM
Definitely male--can be more pretty/androgynous too but p much all my characters are dudes so FFF
idk about keywords.. but I love the sorta desert-y fantasy feel you do really well (like the stuff you design for your czylphs are KILLER, I absolutely love them) and tbh if none of what you design fits on my existing characters, I'll probably create new ones for them so i'm not too specific with what you do.
HMM COLors tho /taps chin
This is a reject palette for a custom I did recently, that I actually really liked the turn-out on... so maybe something with these colors? https://i.gyazo.com/81f3f1f3ea6c10ce15c7a1bb913e13a0.png
And maybe something like this for the other?? https://i.gyazo.com/6dbefc29ef6d5b8df360037ae91744a7.png -- I really love how you work with dark tones and colorful accenting.
But honestly these are super up in the air -- feel free to fiddle with them however you like! Almost everything you've done color-wise for clothing is super amazing, so I have trust in you. Add or remove colors as necessary, or even ignore the palettes honestly if you have a really good idea or whatever otherwise? FFF /easy going
8 years, 4 months ago
I COULD...I COULD DO A CUSTOM SERPOELUM?? OR WHATEVER THIS NEW SPECIES IS THAT I'M WORKING OUT? OR JUST DRAW FOR YOU? OR KEEP MAKING YOU DINNERS
8 years, 4 months ago
YOU COULD JUST KEEP MAKING DINNERS
Tbh I was thinking of offering one for you and Kayla as gifts anyway but I'll be slow on them (like after these) and they'll probably be simpler FFF

8 years, 4 months ago Edited 12:40 am
omG YE DEFINITELY! * V *///
Do you wanna do chibi or non-chibi?? (also, you chill with doing clothing on yours?? i'M SURE YOU'VE A FEEL for what sorta stuff I like)
And also yo gimme a palette
8 years, 4 months ago
YELL OKAY and non-chibi sounds good I have an easier chance designing on a non-chibi and we're doing clothes so it'll be a lot better LOOL
HERE ARE.. two palettes the white/grey/blue is the one i default too but I also gave a second to see which one you'll enjoy working with more yells http://puu.sh/n2z8O/31574f346c.png
NOW U GIMME A PALETTE
8 years, 4 months ago
A'RIGHT A'RIGHT A'RIGHT
https://i.gyazo.com/c19d06c3506991ccf0674795100e1706.png
Thinking light teals and greyish browns?? mAYBE pink if it's workin' but okay to leave out if it's not
Feel free to add or remove colors as needed, srsly, do w/e the heckers you want, just a general idea palette
Oh and I made that palette as idea for the base/non-clothing colors, so do whatever you feel works best/matches that for the outfit. That bit's totally up to you 8)
OH ALSO MALE or androgynous pls! --Melwyrms are typically more androgynous too, is that okay or do you prefer one way more or the other? :O
8 years, 4 months ago
I don't mind gender at all so androg is A-OK!! YELLS Also for skin (do they have skin? .. they have the human form.. LOOL) darker skins are better for meee yeee but im also not picky, you're free to fuck around and add or take away colours, GO WILD!!
I WILL DO MY BEST YEAHHHHH saves this palette so i dont forget abt it heck
8 years, 4 months ago
OH YE darker skins, I can definitely work with that! and omg dark skin would look really pretty with that blue palette you gave me too hMMM /strokes chin
BUT YEE so excited to see how this turns out on both ends! ;V;///
