Hello again, everyone!

Trying again to see if I can't find a line to run on here that resonates with the Lioden population. :) This is a sketch I've had for a while that I decided to template to give a shot. If it doesn't go over well here, I'll find a different use for it somewhere else. All art is by me. They are shaded, so they have a color pallet halo above their heads for easy color sampling. Please note, the highlights and shading can be tinted to match the body more, and the lines can be made colored rather than solid black, if that's more popular. Owner would receive a version with a much smaller, less noticeable watermark. The original size is quite large (2277 x 1832 px) and can be included if people would like that, or just kept to a size that fits on the forums.

These are the Doefrei - a fairy dog/fox-esk species with large and rather distinct wings and tail. They are playful and friendly spirits who enjoy chasing each other through the clouds. They'll get more lore and background if they move forward on here. :) This is just a general idea. They are an original species by me, and a closed species for my particular design.

They would be breedable and will have explorations. Might even do some other games with them. Please tell me what you think. Are they something you would collect? Do you like the shading on them? Do you have a general price you would pay for them based on what you see here? Any other feedback or help you'd like to provide or suggestions you'd like to make? Any and all responses are greatly appreciated!

Very basic colored version to show variety and overall concept:

Pure white to show shading and how it will look on very light colors:

Pure black to show highlights and how it will look on very dark colors:

Grey to show shading/highlight range and how it will look on most colors:

Example of one with colored detailed shading to enhance effects.

Now with more detailed shading! See spoiler to compare the original verses the more detailed and let me know which one you like more!

Well, it's been a while since you got an update from me. Sorry.

Here's a demo of what I was talking about before, with a "cert" that lists the critter's name, gender, and owner.

And what one might look like filled in, so you get an idea of how it might look finished.

So, what do you think? Is it something you'd like to keep? Is it something you'd rather do without?

I'm still working on some lore and world building to have games and things, and to make it easier for you all to make characters out of them. I've also been working on templating some markings onto the base so I can make some rapidly for you, as well as make breeding a little more predictable. Don't worry, though, there will also be a lot of unique markings on them as they get going.

Uh, YES
These are adorable! And when they have other colors and markings, I'm sure tons of people will want one x3

@~Winter 💜 is Here~ Thank you for your feedback. You like them just as well with the "cert" as without? I'll probably get something together to show off some of the available markings at some point.

@ EntityofSnuh - thank you for your feedback. Would you like the "Cert" if it was just made smaller, or had more separation between the critter and the info, or do you think you'd still just like it left off completely?

I'm fine doing either, I'm just looking for additional feedback from everyone. :) It'll take a little while before they're all set up for running (I'm having some writer's block on the lore) so there's time to make pretty well any changes people are asking for. :)

Fingers crossed I can get some time to get these up early in the new year!

If it was a tad smoller and a bit more separated from the doefrei I'd be fine with it :)

Would this be a better version for everyone?

:) Thank you both!

Still open to any and all feedback on anything. :)

Also open to suggestions for markings you might like to see on them as templated, and hence inheritable through breeding. :) Very few so far are inspired by or based in any way on actual animals.

My current list of markings (albeit with mostly meaningless names) are :
Gradients - face, leg, ear, tail body, wing, and frill
Tips, hard and soft - body, wing, and frill
Stripes - body
Arrows - wings
light spots - body, wings
heavy spotting - body, wings
Paint - body
Illumination spotting - body, wings
blanket - body
speckling - body
Crackle - body
Clouded - body
Splotches - body
Python - body
Daubs - body, wing, frills, edges
Hypnotic - wings
Bands - frills
Swirls - frills
Ribbons - body
Cracked - body, wings, frills
Wired - body, wings, frills,
Underbelly - body
Dorsal - body

I plan to add Orca, Panda, Ivy, Darter, Haunted, Tropical, Runes, and Hieroglyphs, and those are mostly body markings, but after that my list runs a little dry. :) Open to suggestions (And references)!
