no idea if this is in the right section ahhhh

*just adding the LF Digital Artist to title* N-Now I'm even more unsure if this is in the right section

So it's 2:30 AM when I get an idea for a new species. What do I do? Immediately sit up and sketch it, of course. Afterwards, I feel rather pleased with my creation and wonder, "Would other people like this?" What do I do next? Make this thread, of course.

Ehehe, so yeah. These are the two little sketchies I came up with!


They don't have a name yet :c I do have a few ideas for their behaviors and such, however!

- They're a pack mammal with no alpha pair. The females have less fluff and do most of the hunting/foraging while the males stay at the dens and care for the pups.
- They're omnivores. They eat berries, insects, and the occasional small rodent.
- Guards stand up on their back legs to "watch" over the pack and use their tail for extra balance.
- They communicate with clicks. They have enhanced hearing and smell due to their lack of eyes.*
*As they somewhat resemble bats, I was considering giving them echolocation rather than enhanced hearing and smell....Or a combination of both! Let me know what you think!

Please fill out the following form to let me know what you think!

1) Any changes you would make? (Tell me here what you think of the whole echolocation vs enhanced senses!)
2) Would you buy one and how much would you pay?
3) If you're a digital artist, would you consider doing the lineart of these little guys if I do end up making them an adoptable/closed/whateverwordiscorrecthere species? (You would get a share of the profits, of course!)

Artists who'd like to do the lineart of this species are free to draw them as examples! I just ask that if you do draw them, do not sell the art you do of them c: It's not a requirement that you post a drawing of them in your style, however! If you'd rather show me various art that you've done in the past, that's quite alright, too!<3

THE NAME HAS BEEN CHOSEN!
*hallelujah plays softly in the background*
The name for this new species is...Amicaeus! It was suggested by Emmon (#37702)! It is a mix of the Latin words for "blind" and "friend," which I just absolutely love~<3

1) Any name suggestions? Radavi
2) Any changes you would make? Well the ears are larger, so I definitely think Echolocation is on point, but maybe if the females had noses like vampire bats, that could imply enhanced scent which would be good on a hunt!
3) Would you buy one and how much would you pay? Probably not sadly since I have no funds, and I generally just make my own OCs
4) If you're a digital artist, would you consider doing the lineart of these little guys if I do end up making them an adoptable/closed/whateverwordiscorrecthere species? I am interested ^^ My Deviantart

Thank you, Demona! I like the name, by the way :o It has a really cool sound to it~

I was considering giving them a nose like a vampire bat or maybe similar to a mole at first, but I wasn't sure how to draw it. So at the time, I just drew them with a flat nose, haha xD Maybe their noses will change in the final versions~ I think it could look cool!

I like your art, too! :o I'll keep you in mind as well, thank you!

The big round nose/face is actually good if you want them to have echolocation, seeing as it often requires a space to change sounds. Like for dolphins:

1) Any name suggestions? I'm bad at names to be honest. It takes me forever to come up with names for RP children/ cubs or nagalings.
2) Any changes you would make? I like the echolocation idea. It works for bats, dolphins, etc.
3) Would you buy one and how much would you pay? They are cute, they remind me of heartless. Just cuter than some of the dangerous ones. I'd probably pay 500 SB to 1 GB depending on how complicated they are.
4) If you're a digital artist, would you consider doing the lineart of these little guys if I do end up making them an adoptable/closed/whateverwordiscorrecthere species? (You would get a share of the profits, of course!) I would consider it. I don't have a problem with lack of tablets, as long as you don't mind mouse drawn lineart.

Okay so I drew some stuff. I figured that if they were to stand up, they should have a longer/heavier and sort-of semi-prehensile tail.

They can use their claws to forage for insects/plants/roots :3

If you don't like it, there's a shorter tailed version:

So I've been drawing these guys throughout my classes, ahaha~ I've decided to make three variations based on region - mountains, plains, desert. So I need someone willing to do 9 linearts. That's the male, female, and pup linearts for each region. Fortunately, the mountains and plains pups are pretty much the same~ So is anyone willing? c:

I also think I have decided on a name for these little guys!

I chose the name Amicaeus, which was suggested by Emmon~ c: I really like the sound of it and the spelling! Plus, it's a mix of the two Latin words for "blind" and "friend"! Huge thanks to Emmon for suggesting it!<3

I like them so far :o

I could probably do their art if you like my style ^^ I can't say I recall doing anything like their sort but here's my dA

And so you know I'm always improving and I don't always post my best art on dA. Like my Art Contest Entry for last month :D {didn't shade it.. took too long but I'd never be lazy if I was doing art for someone}
