Hydro-Spheres: NEW semi-open species!!!

What do you think of Hydro-spheres as a species?

Okay, so I don't know how I came up with this but here you go anyway. Hydro-spheres are basically animals (can be feral or anthro) except they have glass spheres filled with water in place of a head. The water usually doesn't fill up all the way and there can be some aquatic plants in there. Also, there MUST be some sort of aquatic animal inside as well. The animal is enchanted and has shrunken in size, and are the main life source for the hydro-sphere. If these animals die then so does the hydro-sphere.  

There are also many sub-species! Sub-species mostly differ from hydro-spheres because of the contents inside the glass spheres, including the animals found within them, with few exceptions. Here's a list of all of them:

Hydro-sphere (water)

Tera-sphere (plant life)

Deso-sphere (desert)

Ice-sphere (icy environment/frozen body of water)

Magma-sphere (volcanic/magma)

Lava-sphere (lava lamp)

Snow-sphere (snow globe)

Glitter-sphere (same thing as snow-sphere but with glitter)

Geo-sphere (geode)

Techno-sphere (spherical screen)

Crystal-sphere (crystal ball)

8-sphere (magic 8-ball)

Mythic-sphere (mythical environment/creatures)

Glow-sphere (kinda like a glow stick)

Electro-sphere (plasma ball)

Elemental-sphere (elements on the periodic table like liquid mercury, liquid nitrogen, etc.)

Disaster-sphere (inside contains a storm)

Morph-sphere (can be any of the above EXCEPT the glass is shaped like the head of an animal or a different 3D shape)

Glass Being (can also be any of the above EXCEPT it's entire body is made from glass)


So in short what makes the subspecies different from the classic hydro-sphere are the environments/contents of the sphere, and the animals inside them. As long as the animal somewhat matches its environment, it's all good!


I'll definitely update this thread with more info, images, concept art, species refs, etc. I hope y'all like the idea so far though!!!! I'd love some feedback, it'd really help a ton!

InkkBean Yup, you can do that! If you plan to make your own I just need to see the design when it's done to approve it.

ZugZwang853

TheStrayCat Glad to hear!!

This is completely unrelated to hydro-spheres, but I have a closed species that have been around for a year or two now. They're called cruxites, and honestly are doing very badly. I've only had 1 custom and only sold 1 adopt, and even when I did a free MYO/custom give away event, none of the people who claimed a slot actually followed through. Just thought I'd try to advertise them here since this seems so be doing well so far. The link their forum is here.  I'd be willing to do free customs of them too, and if you want more examples I have quite a few cruxite OCs on my page. Please go check them out! Thanks!!!

InkkBean Nope, no adjustments need to be made. Looks great by the way!! :3

ZugZwang853

InkkBean Yup, you can do that!

I'm thinking about making one and I was wondering if I had a glass being with a disaster inside of it could I add minor cracks into the body to stimulate the storm escaping or damaging the body?

ZugZwang853

Stormhunters Yes, you could! However, both the glass being and morph-sphere are considered very rare and therefore hard to get, so usually I would charge money. But since the species is so new and the rules are not yet set in stone, I am willing to accept art instead of money. If you are still interested in making a glass being, you could make art of any one of my primary characters as a form of payment.

I apologize to those of you who are getting customs from me and have  yet to hear anything from me regarding my progress on them. I have the sketches done and am ready to line and color, though it may take me some time. I have mid terms coming up and need to improve my grades to pass all my classes, and have also been struggling with constant migraines and nausea. But I thank you for your patients and understanding!
