Oh, this is dead isnt it. Could I still make one?
What do you think of Hydro-spheres as a species?

This is a dumb idea
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!
TheHazelPhoenix Yes, you can make one! Just please be sure to follow the rules when making it, and if you choose to add any of the super rare traits that require payment, I will take money, art, characters, etc. All of the payments so far have been in art so I'm more than fine with that, also please post the image here when you're done so it can officially be approved!
And yeah it's kinda dead, which I guess is partially my fault for not updating this in a while, but I just haven't had good luck when it comes to starting a new species. So I've kinda given up for the time being (plus I'm super busy with school n stuff) but maybe I'll update this sometime in the future.
ZugZwang853 Alright, thanks. I apologize, but I don't thing i'm gonna make one :/ I'm not incredibly interested in unpopular/dead species. (honestly , its a great idea, but anyone could make a item-head and call it this species :/)
wow, these look so cool! are you still taking customs? i'd love a techno-sphere!
oh whoops, just saw the last post. I'm still interested tho!
Starfire_Nebula sure! I'm on break rn so I don't have much to do anyway so I should be able to get it done no problem. Besides being a techno-sphere, what other traits do you want it to have? Like is there any specific creature you'd like to be in the sphere (or just displayed on the screen in this case), any animal you'd like your techno-sphere to resemble, or any specific colors/patterns you want it to have? Also do you want it to be anthro or feral?
ooh tysm!!!
uh, well i would like an anthro, and maybe on the screen could be like a little pixelated wolf? i want it to resemble a wolf, so i thought maybe a little one in the sphere-screen would make sense.... as far as colors, since it has a screen head i thought maybe cyberpunk would fit it, so maybe like black as a main fur color and purple/blue/green striping? well it can be stripes or pixel-boxes as a pattern, whichever is easier for you. other than that, i don't have preference.
if this helps, i can give you some words just for the theme: cyberpunk/gamer
thanks! i can't wait to see what you came up with! i'll draw them up in some clothes, too, once they're done!
Starfire_Nebula of course np! I will try to have this done sometime tomorrow or maybe late tonight. As far as payment goes, ik my original post says free, but I am more than willing to accept art if money doesn't work for you (it would only be like $5 tho). Is that okay with you?
oh yeah. can we do an art trade? I'm not the best at art but i def have no money rn lol. which character would you like me to draw? as long as its NSFW obviously I'm a minor
Starfire_Nebula yeah that works for me! Can you draw this guy for me please?---> https://toyhou.se/1725275.rice
ik I said I'd have this done tonight but I was much busier than I expected to be so I'm a bit behind, I'll try to have this done for you tomorrow :)
Starfire_Nebula awesome, thank you! I'm still working on my half of the trade, I'm sorry this is taking a lot longer than I thought it would. The house I'm living in currently is being sold, so the house sale has consumed most of my free time unfortunately.
Starfire_Nebula thank you for understanding :)
also I almost forgot to ask, do you want the legs to be plantigrade or digitigrade?
